Themes of Ling Yao and Lan Fan

I got mine in the post today ... And sorry, I hope it's okay that I'm only using Sendspace - it's just that other sites are going stupidly slow for some reason. xD Also, for those who don't have winRAR I uploaded the songs individually

It could be Number One King or just Number One? =o I had a look at the kanji lyrics on the case cover and it says in english "No. 1." Man, I really need to motivate myself to start learning Kanji! xDxD

[lucia_heidi]

Yeah! =o I mean, there was one website that translated it as "Number Wong" and I couldn't help but laugh! xDxD;;;

Katakana and Hiragana are definitely easier to learn! xD

[lucia_heidi]

Haha! xD

I thought it was based on Japan. oO *bricked for my ignorance* xDxD

[lucia_heidi]

xD I only assumed it was Japan because when she helps translate some eastern alchemy she says "kin" means gold. *shot* Who knows, Arakawa might have based it on oriental nations in general? =o

[lucia_heidi]

Whaaa?? Really? xD How random.

It's a sort of smoothie of East-Asian countries, but there seems to be a lot of Chinese influence, so in my opinion it's ended up as China with random lumps of Far East thrown in (ninja and the such). The clothing, names (Xiao Mei means "little sister"), and on that the panda, not to mention Ling's sword (a Chinese dao), Lan Fan and Fu's masks, various other phenotypical reasons--mm, and the fact that Xing is apparently gigantic and ruled by an emperor. I don't know, a lot of people say "Xing is basically China", so I've sort of accepted it. xD;;

The second of Lan Fan's (Sotto, sotto) I think means Gently, Gently or Softly, softly. xD

They should make Kanji less confusing! =P
