I think they are the answers to some of our requests but I can't really read Japanese...
Someone can explain me the bit about Italy and Hatsumōde? Is a reference to the fact that during the bloodbath Italy showed up at a time that was proper for Hatsumōde?

OH GOSH

WHAT DOES NEW ZEALAND SAY? auuuugh why don't I understand Japanese.

I have a bad feeling though...his dialogue ends in a '?'
It's probably something like, "Simply with covering most of my body with a sheep, this level of androgyny is possible for New Zealand! What do you think, everyone?"

Any yaaaay Vietnam. Yaaaay countries with cat ears. Turkey in a kimono! Greece! France's whereabouts in Xmas Bloodbath 2010! Moe game in America! Italy and hatsumode(?)! Latviaaaaaa!

*cough*

*his/her

lmao

[jjblue1.livejournal.com]

*sighs* I also wish I could understand it, expecially the Hatsumōde and Italy part... is it a reference to the bloodbath?

[tehd.livejournal.com]

AAAaaa /overload. There's even Vietnam ! \o/
I'm really curious as to what New Zealand is saying...

[kashiwamizu.livejournal.com]

> Is New Zealand a man or a woman?

New Zealand : "Which one do you think ?"

....along that kind of line. That doesn't answer the question, sensei.

[tehd.livejournal.com]

PFFT. And why did I even expect an actual answer? XD
(Thank ya, dear. ♥)

[jjblue1.livejournal.com]

True... -_-
He seems rather flat chested though... but it can be just an impression due to the position he/she is in...

HIMARUYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! /fistshake

Stop trolling us with New Zealand! Come oooon! D:

I think NZ's a boy, just the way the face is drawn. idk

Yay pics anyway!

[gordafarid.livejournal.com]

Welcome back Vietnam dear! <3

[seshru2.livejournal.com]

Totally expected that.

Stop trolling us, Himaruya and NZ~ D:

[ftws.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I agree. I think NZ's a boy. Appearance-wise, he reminds me of Sealand or Latvia.

Ｉｔ ｊｕｓｔ ｔｒａｎｓｌａｔｅｓ ａｓ ”Ｉｔａｌｙ ｗｈｏ ｃａｍｅ ｔｏ visit the shrine (hatsumode) together"

There's no reference to the bloodbath whatsoever, I think.

[fuyu-yuu.livejournal.com]

Vietnam~~~ Ahh, back then, I (and probably a lot more)requested to see Vietnam more this year...
Hmmm~ Latvia is getting cuter & cuter, right~
And the nations from Nekomimi world XD

[jjblue1.livejournal.com]

Thank you! So I guess the Italys went to Japan after spending Christmas to Germany... it's kind of cute to see how their team seems to like spending time together!

[seshru2.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the translation!

Now I'm confused what Italy's religion is...

[anubismito]

Someone ask if NZ is man or woman. He replies: "What do you think?" (Or something like this, sorry for my bad english=

[jjblue1.livejournal.com]

More likely they're just visiting Japan. I doubt Italy can be shintoist or buddist...

Title: A moe game in America!

A moe game with fully animated character drawings is being sold! (http://www.shira-oka.com/characters.html)
Re Angel that was made in Thailand was an amazing game with all the moving backgrounds and characters, but for such a game to appear from America…!
Apparently, the voice actors are professionals.

Thai produced Re Angel’s (http://reangel.studiogu.com/jp/character.html) characters' appearances and names are exotic and very cute.

-----
Finishing off some requests I couldn’t finish during Christmas.
The requests I received in English and in Chinese are also included.
Thank you for all the requests and New Years greetings!

Italy who tags along for Hatsumode*
*New Year's shrine visit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatsum%C5%8Dde)
[Translator note to the OP: I believe this is just a late request from a j-fen, considering the comic was still on Christmas(or the day after?)]

What happened to Latvia’s hoodie
He has a こんばんワ good eveninG version as well!

Is New Zealand-san a man of a woman?
New Zealand: Which do you think I am?

Turkey wearing a kimono
Wearing something like a samue. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samue)

What happened to France?
Business as usual!!

[seshru2.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Oh man, if only NZ were confirmed as a boy, then it's yaoi seeking time

Re: Translations

[fourier.livejournal.com]

lol you just beat me to translating X3

[coraltum.livejournal.com]

...In my opinion, New Zealand looks like a boy similar to Latvia and Finland...

Or Himaruya could be trolling us by making New Zealand out to be a boyish looking girl.

I'm not going to come to any conclusions just yet.

Re: Translations

[jjblue1.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
[Yes, technically the comic was on Chrismas but, since the ending was posted around the end of the year I thought it referred to when Italy would show up in real life time... kind of like 'Himaruya-san when we'll see Italy showing up in the bloodbath' 'Italy showed up at Hatsumode' *sighs* I really wish I knew Japanese... THANK YOU AGAIN FOR TRANSLATING THIS!]

[anubismito]

Welcome!
I do think he's a boy! X)

[flamefox324.livejournal.com]

Oh Himaruya. You have such keening skills in dodging NZ's gender. xD
For now I'll just see NZ as a boy. >w> Unless NZ is a trap, just like China. LOL.
