Hima compiled the blog requests and linked from the front page. http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/2011_12_re.html There's one labeled ■２０１１年クリスマスのリクエスト漫画■ with England and Japan and a bathhouse. I don't think I've seen it before, is it new? (Posting here in case it is, since you guys would need to see it first ^^;)

[spaceinvaderdud.livejournal.com]

Update 4.1. 4 p.m. JST

I'll take care of this.

[y4nderenka.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry for the wait! I had a lot of trouble with this and I really don't feel well. >.<; Please feel free to correct any mistakes.

Also, can anyone please typeset it? I'll start working on it, but hopefully someone better can get it. I'm really sorry again!

Kyoto-Dialect-Speaking Person: Ah, if you are looking for Japan, he went to the bath a while ago.

England: Ah, the map says it should be here, but...
So, Japan has a bathhouse culture.
Here? ...Hm?

Japan: Ah, hello, Mr. England.

Handwritten: ???

England: W-What are you wearing!? You're almost naked!

Japan: I'm returning from the bathhouse, so this is normal, but...

England: It's embarrassing for people to be seen naked! Change your clothes quickly!

Japan: I-It's something embarrassing?

Japan: That's what I was taught, but Europe is full of mysteries.

Italy: Ohh, good morning, Japan!

Until the end of the Edo Period in Japan,
there was no culture saying that nudity was embarrassing,
and the attire also had a lenient feel to it.


Sign: 1860~1870
-Nudity is Embarrassing
-Mixed Bathing Prohibited
-Near-Nude Figures Stop
-Nudity is Embarrassing
(arrow) This is terrible

Germany: It was something embarrassing, was it!?


But foreign residents in Japan thoughtlessly stared and tried to touch people.
Because they said, "Stop being half-naked!"
the government reformed attire for hot springs and bathhouses,
so it spread rapidly that nudity was something embarrassing.

Image:
The violent Westernization of attire also commences.
The Meiji Emperor got a bob haircut on
March 20th, 1873.

Image:
(Japan: Yeah, yeah)
Text:
After that, a preference for modest clothes
that show as little skin as possible took hold.



But after that, people who study abroad
sleep naked, see couples smooching by roadsides and
leave notes like, "Ehh!? Ehhhh!?" and such.
Foreign culture is mysterious.

Update 4.1. 7 p.m. JST

I can handle this one.

(There was a little more text added, so here it is with that and the typesetting. Sorry for the double-post.)

Additional Explanation



Until the end of the Edo Period in Japan,
there was no culture saying that nudity was embarrassing,
and the attire also had a lenient feel to it.

Residents at this time write in their notes
also about how it keeps surprising them that,
"Japanese people go to bathhouses and come back in towels!"



But foreign residents in Japan thoughtlessly stared and tried to touch people.
Because they said, "Stop being half-naked!"
the government reformed attire for hot springs and bathhouses,
so it spread rapidly that nudity was something embarrassing.





After that, a preference for modest clothes
that show as little skin as possible took hold.
This era's clothes blend Japanese and Western styles and are outrageously cute.



But after that, people who study abroad
sleep naked, see couples smooching by roadsides and
leave notes like, "Ehh!? Ehhhh!?" and such.
Foreign culture is mysterious.

Top of page 11: Intermission

Switzerland: Roughly 100 people have arrived here. Mixed amongst them was this abnormal person I don’t know. If I recall correctly, his name was Molo… or something like that. Quite a number of people have come here only to watch the broadcast so the number of people that will be interviewed has not changed much.

Italy: 100 people?! That’s 1/3 of 300!

Japan: I am not quite sure how to say this… but thank you very much!

Monaco: Hahaha! We are on holiday after all! We have a lot of time to kill!

Germany: In any case, let’s all now focus our energy into finishing this broadcast! Let’s go, you two!

Italy: Got it!

Italy: The rabbit man… he actually exists…

Germany: The one inside that getup isn’t a rabbit man.

Japan: Umm, could this person possibly be…

Germany: Don’t say it. Please don’t say it.

Italy: Let’s call this rabbit human later! I’m sure it’ll be fun!

Japan: Indeed so. I think it will make proceedings more fun, too.

Germany: …It’ll make things more noisy. It’s his nature to be a big show-off after all.

New addition on this page!

Somewhere down in the Japan nudity strip.

Besides, England stepped into the bath on another occasion, this is a very simplified version of what happened.

/Vague, open to discussion, correction welcome.

[kanami-yuuta.livejournal.com]

there was an update comic of Germany passing as an American...

The German army was indeed thanks to their bold strategies quite successful.

As a result, the security policy in the American army became much more strict and things like this happened too.

Update 5.1. 10 a.m. JST

It's quite late at night here, so I'll be glad if somebody else could take care of it.

[spaceinvaderdud.livejournal.com]

Update time changed to Update 5.1. 4 p.m. JST.

Still ready and willing to do it though!

[spaceinvaderdud.livejournal.com]

The ancient Germanic people seemed to really treasure their families.

Trivia that you probably won't be using anywhere

There are writings left behind by some of Rome's distinguished people praising blond hair like Mr. Germania has.
Romans with black hair, dark skin, and black eyes regarded the blond appearances as mysterious.

[lost-hitsu.livejournal.com]

Just to make sure, somebody is taking care of the 4 p.m. update, right? I'm available to do it but I think you already agreed on who is in charge of it?

[lost-hitsu.livejournal.com]

Just adding the short blog update with Khoja

Mr. Khoja

Thank you for the numerous requests.
Because of them I got to draw quite unusual comics and made many new discoveries, I had a lot of fun.

> Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
Many various things await me this year, I'm really excited and want to give my best.

If spaceinvaderdud is translating the HRE strip, I will keep an eye on the next (probably storyline) update if it's okay.

[lost-hitsu.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry I took this and hope you won't mind, spaceinvaderdud, I tried to contact you but without success.

"HRE lacking unity"


Please don't take the "handwritten" speechbubbles in the background too seriously, Hima's handwriting is atrocious and I'm more guessing than really translating.

[captainofnaps.livejournal.com]

Thank you. A bit late, but THANK YOU.

[lost-hitsu.livejournal.com]

We don't have a set time but I expect Hima will try to update in the morning JST.

I'm sorry but I have to go to sleep now, I hope somebody here will be able to check the event page for the next few hours.

[y4nderenka.livejournal.com]

Update 6.1. ?? p.m. JST

[mertseguer.livejournal.com]

[lost-hitsu.livejournal.com]

Image: I did it!

I finished what I was doing.

Thanks to you, my cold got better.
I'm sorry for worrying you the past few days.
Since I was finally able to eat New Year's soba,
I feel like 2012 has come.

Anyway, I plan to resume the updates from around 9 PM.



Finnish Horror Movies
A scene from "Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale"↓

The first horror scene is of old men with pixellated censors filling the screen.
Finnish horror movies are amazing.
