[Official Blog] Questions and Answers and who are these guys!? Except Netherlands(I think?)

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

Himaruya updated his blog again! It's good to have him back--we're all gonna have to get used to checking his blog every five minutes again!

Translation by lost_hitsu. Please go to that link to give your thanks!

◆Note◆

There is a hetalia art contest held over at niconico seiga!
I'm participating as a judge.
The famous Mi●y Mouse from niconico seiga is scary!

The Nordic 5 CD is on sale!
I was in charge of the art on the CD and the booklet.
It's a CD full of very soothing voices.

◆August◆

Answering a few questions.
Thank you for all your emails!

>Hello!
Congratulations to vol.5!

Thank you!
I'm very glad and thankful that it got published.

>Welcome back!!

Thank you!

>YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Caaaaaalm doown!

>The girl with pigtails looks a bit like Monaco and Liechtenstein before the hair cut

It occured to me as I was watching the Olympics
Thank you for the analysis!
This killer heat is making my brain all fuzzy.
Nah, it's always like that.

>Volume 5 is on sale too, the number 5 is everywhere.

Right, the Nordic CD has a 5 too, looks like 5 will be my lucky number this year.
I want to draw pictures linked with number 5.
I finally can draw Allies in suits, looking forward to that.

>How about a personification of the Kowloon Walled City?

I think he would be a very chaotic and dirty character.
I'd love to go to the Kowloon of the bygone days.
My dad visited as Hong Kong was still British and went to that neighborhood too.
Apparently they are selling photographic collections now, maybe I'll buy some.

> I wonder if we get to see moving Taiwan-chan... I want to see Macau too.

Heheheee...

*squee*

Seriously, seeing Hima-papa back again is making me happier than I've been in a long time.

*eagerly awaits translations*

Holly Flying F*cks! The Netherlands is there! Does that means those are new Hetalia characters?????????????

HIMA IS BACK. WITH VENGEANCE.

[icelilly]

Oh my goodness, could these be new nations after all? The guy on the right looks like Netherlands! Though I don't see anything that says who they are. I see stuff about the Nordic 5 drama CD and Volume 5 but that's all I can make out. Hopefully Himaruya will post a larger version of that bottom image! I'm curious to see who's in there.

[twyxted-mind.livejournal.com]

I would just like to point out that whoever these folks are, they're certainly very dapper.

[cidal-fun.livejournal.com]

It's nice to see his new pictures after reading book 1 last night.

And who's the tall guy?! And the Hong Kong looking guy?! AND ARE THOSE NEW GIRL CHARACTERS!!?

[rosetteroulette.livejournal.com]

Uwaa!

I wish there were a larger version of the bottom pic, but this leaves me very excited! Whoever they are, they all look lovely!

[boo-sagara.livejournal.com]

OMG
WHO ARE THESE GUYS AND GIRLS?!

I'm so happy Hima is back ;w;!!!

[sne-stjerne.livejournal.com]

*stares at the pretty new pictures*

I wonder who they all are?! *is extremely excited*

[dubtalia-ap.livejournal.com]

Same here.

But even if you clicked on that picture from the blog's original site, they are still the same small file size.

Interesting on the file names for both of the pictures. The larger one is called yatura as the other is called mob.

[nameru-ja-nai.livejournal.com]

That guy with the two ahoges is sooooooooooo lsudfhdslfidsnfljdkndsgkjdfg;fdgdnlskdjs

uhuhuhuhuhuhuuuuuu x////x

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

やつら(yatura) - those guys
"mob" is just used to mean a bunch of people--you see it in r-18 doujins all the time for just a bunch of random people.

. . .and what I mean with this comment is that it's nothing descriptive/it doesn't say anything. >:

[pandafan332.livejournal.com]

It's a wonderful feeling getting to check Hima's blog again every day~

And who are these new people? I wonder if they're for Hetalia or not. Although the guy next to Netherlands is making me think he's Luxembourg. And the second picture <333 Pretty coloring! <3

[rikkaidai-fuji.livejournal.com]

personal opinion:
that boy with two ahoges appear in that chibi picture in the previous post
that guy looks like Ned but....I don't know, his sour expression is pretty Netherlands, but I'm not sure those three are from Hetalia
and I'm almost 100% sure those people at the picture below aren't from Hetalia
/idk tho

[yumberryfluff.livejournal.com]

I-is that Netherlands?!?!?! O A O /squeals

[dubtalia-ap.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know.

But it's interesting when you explain it that those terms that apply to those characters. No one knows if it's really for Hetalia or Chibisan. New series? Who knows?

[itsukochan.livejournal.com]

I think it's safe to say that, while Himapapa was recovering, he was busy working on new countries as well.

So.. is it Fancy-Dress Day in Hetalialand or what? I'm so curious. ;3;

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

When tagging it, I just assumed the one on the right was Ned. It's not right to assume, i know, but if that is him, then it's somewhat safe to assume the others in that particular picture are also Hetalia characters, or prototypes of them.

But, yeah, only Himaruya knows what's going on! And he seems intent on leaving us in suspense! Though, the "title" of the pictures does say "August" so maybe he'll let us know sometime this month. . . .

[aphvietnam.livejournal.com]

Doesn't the boy in purple and brown have a Canada/Romano resemblance? Or is that just me?

[wakalakaosaka.livejournal.com]

AND SO IT BEGINS...

[smileyfacegamer.livejournal.com]

Ah I miss hima papa's blog updates! Like the good old days haha :)
Hope someone translates this soon!

[dubtalia-ap.livejournal.com]

Yes.

Himaruya is giving us something special with these new characters for August after so long. With Bloodbath getting back to updates at that month as well, who knows what could happen.

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

He never said he was updating the Christmas event, though. . . ? It may have been dropped like Boun San Valentino. Then again, he did show some evidence of at least having finished a bit more of it, so maybe. . . .

But it's already August in Japan. So we have a bit less of a wait. Like, a few hours less, but still less. it all depends on him.

[julesie-g.livejournal.com]

I thought the same thing. Either Canada Romano or Canada Austria.

[julesie-g.livejournal.com]

Can't wait to find out who the new guys are. I hope the ones next to Netherlands are from hetalia. I really like the middle guy and the taller older looking guy reminds me of a mix of Rome and Germany.

[rewritten.livejournal.com]

The guy in the top pic on the left kinda looks like Suehiro-san from Chibi Date-san, but I could be totally wrong.
