Ariga sent me another e-mail but I think all it is saying is that if I speak English I should just send him e-mails in English to avoid miscommunications? Also he apologized for misspelling Jim Zub's name as Zim. xD

Katie A.さま

すいません、ジムさんのスペルが間違ってました。
私は英語圏の人間ではないので、よくこういうミスをします...

あと、翻訳状態でメールを送って頂けるのは嬉しいのですが
やはり若干、わかりにくい部分があります。
それと私の日本語での返信も、ちゃんと伝わっているか不安になります。

なので、Katie A.さんが英語圏の方なら、メールは英語でお願いします。

私には翻訳家の友人がおり、多少時間を頂くと思いますが
英語メールならばニュアンスを含めた部分まで翻訳してもらえるのです。
（私の日本語メールも、友人が英語にしてくれます）

よろしくお願いいたします。


ありが

As for participation I've only received two submissions though I've seen many people reblog my tumblr post saying they wanna do it or are thinking... time will tell. :/

As a result of translate, please reply to a letter by english! Because he have translator friend and he worry about miscommunication

Thank you for clarifying. Google translator is terribly inaccurate.. as we all know. xD

I'd do it, but I gotta git gud at art first, and those kinds of things take time.

I would like to make an art, but it would look bad, i will try to think about it.

Ariga says he's happy to receive translated mail, but he's afraid of incorrect translations. So just send him English mails, and his friend will help! Happy to see he's willing to contact with English-speaking fans, too.
You know, don't blame Google translator; it's not a living being after all!

On the other hand, there's still no sign of Arai. (I guess it's weird to ask him draw a "fan art" of the character whom he designed)
Maybe he stopped using that email address? I'm sure Ariga can tell, but he's busy now.

Yep, you can be the one who gathers fan arts next time.

Oh.. Sorry haha  my japanese writing skill isn't good  (because I'm not native Japanese)

Mr.Arai's Twitter is very active (He loved Godzilla,SFX and Kantai collection,maybe his twitter is used for SFX review)
but his mail address is invisible.... :sad face:

[RollingMeowcat]

In fact, I don't think Arai cares much about Klonoa now, for he doesn't really have control over the Klonoa series. Klonoa might just be "a character Namco had him design for the company many years ago" to him. Furthermore, we don't know if Ka64 sent the email to the right place...

Argh! No more worries! At least we've known Ariga can get hold of Arai. When the book is released, let's ask Ariga a favor.

Yep, you can be the one who gathers fan arts next time.

What would that entail?

[Graystripe2000]

I've thought of a few characters for Klonoa: Corruption. Maybe I can submit one of them for this?

[mushroom32x]

Sorry, but I encourage you to draw official Klonoa characters and places. :o
