CLAMP News #2
Q1: What do CLAMP's members always call each other?
◆ : Satsuki, Sarusaru, Rasshi ("Igarashi", which came from the middle it seems...) but most the time we call each other what we did when we met.

Q2: During Junior High School and Senior High School what clubs were you in?
◆ : In Junior High School I would say I was part of the "Dark" ping-pong club, then I left that place. After that I returned home. In Senior High School, there was an unusual increase of women in astronomy (I think...). Because I was genuinely interested in stars I joined, and some of the members of CLAMP (Nekoi Mikku and Mokona Apapa) were fated to meet there...

Q3: What about your birthplace and Shiga-ken do you remember?
◆ : Lake Biwa, Michigan (The name of the Lake Biwa tour), Black Bass.

Q4: Recently, what bookstore, TV and videos would you recommend and explain why please?
◆ : Recently, I haven't completed any books to recommend... I like books to say something, so that after I read it I'll have something to think about afterwards, like Michael Ende's "Momo" or "Never Ending Story". (Although they're both movies, I like the novels)

Q5: What is your favorite (commercial magazine) work at CLAMP?
◆ : "Clamp School Defenders: Duklyon", "Tokyo Babylon".

◆ : Nanase-chan, are you sleeping properly at night? Eat well please. You're working too much, and I don't want you to become sick.
◆ : Riiza-san, recently it's also been very cold, and I think you may be catching a cold. Don't you think? Please pay attention.
◆ : Mii-san, alone, you've steadily become beautiful, and when it's time for you to marry that someone in the future, call me for a proper wedding reception. (I will tear into pieces all of your past evildoings).
◆ : Mou-san, I will give you, the underexercised, a mission. Everyday, come take the evening paper. This is being serious, as for not going outside however, you understand it's time you went out, don't you think?

Q8: What store of Kansai do you recommend (food)?
◆ : ...Well... Since I haven't returned lately... The omelette containing fried rice of the dining-room in B1 of a Nakajima central public hall. Dojima. . . Cocoa of "MUJIKA" in B1 of the Yomiuri hall(?). Chinese tea and snacks of "White Porcelain" of B1 of a Hilton Hotel.
*Some of these names may be off, considering even the original had a question mark in it and I'm not familiar with the names. To learn more about Kansai, you can click on it.

Q9: What store of Tokyo do you recommend (food)?
◆ : A shop that had tea and snacks in Chinese style on 6F of Ikebukuro Seibu (I think) (I forget the name of the shop). JR Ikebukuro station east gate, on 2F there is a window, "NESPA". My favorite is a steak bowl and a lobster fried dumpling stuffed with minced pork.

Q10: Please tell me what cosmetics, perfume and shampoo you personally use.
◆ : Although I used the "Tifa" series of cosmetics before, now I've changed mostly to "ISPA". As for this perfume, I don't own it. Chanel's "CoCo", Shiseido's "SASO" or "Tentatrice", Guerlain's "Vol de Nuit" or "Mitsuko" and so on; I like their fragrances very much. Recently, we received a fragrance from a reader (to CLAMP) that has kindled our liking. Right now my shampoo is from "FAY". Especially "Korede Nakereba", I haven't quite decided (Since I bought the package from FAY...)

Q11: Although it's only one member in CLAMP that's a regular user of pierced earrings, why did they use pierced earrings?
◆ : *No reason. (When I think of that day, she went to the doctor).
*She answers very simply "NORI desu.". There isn't anyone in CLAMP named that, and I'm not positive what she was trying to say.

Q12: Of SHOTEN's original characters Okiya Shougo-kun and Motohashi Yuu-kun, which is your favorite?
◆ : Overwhelmingly, it's Shougo. That isn't to say I "like" one's character, but Shougo is my rare favorite. The place that one's own happiness can be gained. (My reason is in part because Shougo calls Yuu out on his true character. ... I... I was not amused there... I thought...)
*I have never seen Shoten. I plan on getting it in the future, but for now I can't even check to make sure the names are right because it's near impossible to find any information about it.

Q13: Most people say what their favorite sports are, but are there any you're good at? In the future, are there any you'd like to try?
◆ : I wouldn't say it's my forte by any extent, but once, for a number of years (10 years) I lived to ski. After that, I like skating too. As for things I'd like to try, "paragliding", "horse riding" and "sky diving". Even though I only tried it once last year, I'd like another chance to go "scuba diving".

Q14: Where would you go to get wedding dresses and kimonos for a wedding?
◆ : Both of those are formal, so if possible you could get something suitable at Rau... If that's why you want them, for a wedding (Depending on the circumstances, the design more or less should fit with ease I'd guess...)

Q15: What word processor do you use?
◆ : Toshiba's word processor. Name, "Shougo". The name is bad, but I can handle a bad name... Recently it's been in poor condition...

Q16: Please tell me your best recipes.
◆ : Curry, potato salad... Once, I'll do it the way most people generally like it. But for me, I don't like to put in many vegetables. (I lose things like vegetables, since I was 20 years old).

Q17: What brand of Western-style clothes do you like?
◆ : As far as design, it depends on what my mood is. I'm limited to what I can see on hand, "Nikoru" "BIGI" "Komu sa de Moudo" "NICE CLUP" et cetera... Mostly, they aren't brand names. Now, for my mood, "Junior Galtier" "Tsumori Chisato" "BIGI" "VIVA YOU" are in the neighborhood.

Now, I want *"Snuffkin" goods and a car.
*I believe "Snuffkin" is a book.

Q21: Recently,what has left an impression on you?

*I'm pretty sure this is a character in RG Veda.

Q23: Of the CLAMP characters, who would you want to be your lover?
◆ : Sakurazuka Seishirou. When his bad personality is put in place (when he poses alone, is it just me that says his expression looks bad?) I like him. He's likely to play...

Q24: If you could be one of the CLAMP characters, which one would you be?
◆ : Sumeragi Hokuto. Surely, because it seems like there's no one she'll lose to. For the same reason, Ohkawa Utako, or Ijyuin's mothers might also be good.

◆ : 009 of "Cyborg 009" and Kiddo of "Ginga Senpuu Braiger". (I like Kiddo more).

Q28: What's your ideal type of man?
◆ : Rather than calling it ideal, let's put it this way... I'd say, being taller than me, playing together, and make him visit. After that my mind is disctracted, I don't know what else.

Q29: I'd like to ask "CLAMP", what memories do you have?
◆ : In the beginning CLAMP's members met as students (we were senior high school students...) about. *Dota Bata, we were experts at running around the school.

Q30: Please leave a message to CLAMP News readers.

Next time, we have "Ohkawa Nanase Q&A". Enjoy!
