Costume Summary

India
An impression of the song “Meherbaniyan” from the film “Veer”,
but the hats are completely wrong.

China, Hong Kong, Macau
Sun Wukong (Monkey King), Zhu Bajie (Pig), Sha Wujing (Water Buffalo?)
I forgot Xuanzang…

Swiss, Lichtenstein
William Tell and his son

Nordics
Pirates. I kind of based some of their costumes on real pirates.

Greece, Turkey, Egypt
Aladdin, Genie, Wizard.
I thought I should include the princess but Cyprus and Northern Cyprus are both guys…

Prototype Cyprus※At the time of the drama CD
in the event that he possibly appeared, he was cooler.

By the way, Aladdin was a story set in China.
Aladdin was also explicitly a Chinese person.

But for some reason Islamic teachings took over the Chinese people who appear in the story.
Moreover, no matter how you hear it, they have Arabic names and live like Arabs.
I hear it’s common for Hollywood films with a vague Middle Eastern atmosphere to feel something like mysterious Japan…

2013 Halloween Summary (From the Bamboo Thicket Blog)


 

 

 

The spirit of the apple tree in Mir castle that the owner ordered to cut down is still revenging herself by luring people into the lake…

 

The ghost of Room 324 of a Swedish hotel is like the Romeo of a Swedish version of Romeo and Juliet.
A commoner and the daughter of a baron fell in love, however, the baron did not think that was proper, and to put an end to it had his daughter marry a man of a different status…

Denmark’s ghost hotel has famous ghosts appear in it. It’s rather modern in style.
Ah, let’s make mini-characters again!
I took and saved photos in Italy, and I’d like to post them.

 

By the way, the top characters with easy to draw hairstyles are Italy, Poland and Liechtenstein, the ones with rounded hairstyles and straight hair. The ones with the most frustrating to draw hairstyles are Hungary (because it’s fluffy), Austria (because it’s a soft, partially back style) and Principality of Wy (because it’s fluffy).

 

Norway’s ghostly monk is said to be appearing in a cathedral.

Eye-witness evidence:
Long time ago, there was this incredibly good-looking monk in the cathedral.
The light in his eyes was beautiful and haunting – and so handsome.
It’s said he strangled a priest, all the while looking good, with his face delicate and slim.
If you look closely, there is blood running from his neck. And yet he still manages to look so good.

What a babe.

[T/N: More about the bloody ghost of Trondheim]
