Clamp, French éditor and fans...

[shaoran-x.livejournal.com]

Hello Clamp Now,
I have two things to say, the first one concerning the fans :

Like everyone knows, CLAMP will be in Paris for Japan Expo 2009, and thus many French communities wanted to make something to celebrate (a T-shirt or a badge). But following a mail from Pika (the French editor of most of CLAMP’s works) and Kaze (the French editor of CLAMP's anime for some time), it was recommended not to wear such things, because Japan Expo visitors will be will watched very carefully for any form of counterfeit or illegal use of images.

So, to conclude : T-shirts and badges are not allowed.

On the other hand, there will be a big booth dedicated to CLAMP with official merchandise from Japan (which is legal according to them).
To make it short, wearing a T-shirt stating “Clamp, I love you” with an image of Sakura above these words is forbidden according to Pika and Kaze. (I am not aware of SEFA’s official position, SEFA being the association managing Japan Expo but I will call them this week to hear their point of view on this subject)


By the way, the webzine Ugoku Shinbun joins my community (Clamp Addict) to take advantage of the 10st edition of Japan Expo and try to interview the mythic studio Clamp, so, we need YOU to find interesting questions.

You can ask questions about passages of their works, possible sequels, internal plots, their tastes or their way of working, etc... in the comments and I’ll add them to the list of potential questions.

But to make it clear, nothing is certain, reaching Clamp will not be easy, and if we do succeed, we will be able to ask only a few questions (there will be a selection before Japan Expo)
