CLAMP Travel Reports (final part)

Apr 17, 2010 11:12

Here are the final reports of CLAMP's research expedition in the Kansai area to collect data for Gate 7. After Kyoto they made a quick stop at Osaka and are now back to Tokyo.

If we were talking about a movie, I would call this the pre-production stage. I hope it won't last long until we reach the production stage =)

I wish they had talked more about the scenery and less about food. Kidding XDD

Modern-yaki....okonomiyaki... I'd like to eat them again someday!

chibiyuuto April 17 2010, 20:36:48 UTC

I never ate those D= It looks delicious in that picture!

tati81 April 18 2010, 09:30:03 UTC

They're delicious!!! The best japanese food for me!

Almost the same for me, since I love to eat Takoyaki, as long as it's made with the same batter~<3

That sounds like a fascinating panel, but even I'm too far for it..and I'm in the US >.< Damn country is so big and hard to cross in a hurry lol

Thanks for the updates on their travels, i'm excited to see what the artwork looks like and the scenery is like for Gate 7

And I have a Mokona tumbler now! I took it to work with me last night, my coworkers asked me what the funny looking rabbit thing was...to explain I quotes Yuuko's explanation of a Mokona...because either way they weren't gonna get it. So it got labeled "one of those weird things that make Rita special and a nerd."

I thought it would be nice to announce it in advance so that people can make it in time. Please tell people you know who you think might be interested in going =)

You're welcome! I'm guessing that this is going to be like X, with lots of drawings and pictures of real places from Japan. Nice.

You made a Mokona tumbler? How cool!! How about taking a picture? I can post it at the Facebook page =D

I have a fiew friends in the area, i'll pass the notice along ^_^

*nods* Hopefully this will leave the shrines in a happier state than some of the buildings in X. I haven't read far in the series, but I've seen the anime..so I know the unhappy fate the animated buildings have.

The picture of the Large Mokona tumbler. I noticed that even for a 16oz tumbler (the only one the store had) i couldn't make the print out fit all the way, it's too small. There's a strip down the back that's still blank. *shrug* Not a very large strip, it just doesn't line up and it looks like it's supposed to. Maybe Tumblers in japan are a little smaller than the American ones?

Thank you for the picture! I'll post it at my Facebook page XD

Judging by CLAMP's diary entries, it seems that Gate 7 is going to be a cooking manga. Thrill as Hana battles dream-monsters while competing in okonomiyaki-eating contests!

The ateji lecture does sound very fascinating--it's a shame I'm not going to be anywhere near New York at that time!

chibiyuuto April 17 2010, 21:03:13 UTC

HAHAHAHA!!! One can get that idea judging by the pictures. And I'll tell you, I had to select the entries, because there were some that were only about food xD

outou April 17 2010, 21:37:43 UTC

theres always someone that cooks in their manga. Gate 7 wont be an exception, but Im guessing it will be another character in this case

juno016 April 18 2010, 18:48:12 UTC

For anyone who doesn't realize it... Japanese people always turn to food when they think of something new or memorize certain customs.
Traveling? Oh, we must try out the famous White Crab in this area!
Holidays? Even if we don't have a daughter, we'll celebrate Hinamatsuri at the office, during break hours, with Hishimochi (Diamond-shaped mochi)!

So I doubt the actual series will be focusing around food.
In the Japanese context, them showing the foods they ate will basically let the Japanese reader remember what cities/areas/etc. to look forward to in the manga... like...
"Oh, hey, that looks like Okazaki's Castle! Oh, wait, that's right! They ate Hacchou Misou, so they must have gone to Okazaki to research!"

Also, even though I live in New York state, the city is still too far to have to pay transportation and everything for a 10 minute presentation... D:
