Oda-sensei's words (year 4) [rika's footnotes and clarifications are in brackets.] #34, 2000
When I went to Mr. [Hiroyuki] Takei's house, there was an owl. I don't know why, but
it was glaring at me really strongly. #35, 2000
Did you see it!? The new ending for the ONE PIECE anime!! This time, it's the new
song by the same artist, Ms. Otsuki. When I heard that, I ran for the heck of it. #36, 2000
The second ONE PIECE novel is on sale right now. It's a side-story of the Logue Town
arc. There was a macho story about a mysterious gunman, and Nami's bath scene, among others. There's a
lot of stuff in it. #37/8, 2000
This week, we all worked in a dandy manner with cigars that we got from our staffer
S as a souvenir from Hawaii. #39, 2000
I cried watching the ONE PIECE anime story about Bellemere. Good music, good acting,
good screenplay. Anime is so unfair. #40, 2000
I got a letter from a crew on the sailboat that I went on last summer. It's so nostalgic.
Fuu-san on the Kaisei, thanks for the postcard. #41, 2000
The CD by Kunihiro Hayashi that I've been looking for in CD shops for a long time. I
got it in the blink of an eye with the Internet. These are good days. #42, 2000
I have DRAGON QUEST 7. I have FINAL FANTASY 9. Neither are open because
if I start, I won't be able to put a brake on myself. I have them, too. ["don't I know it," says rika, who
is shaving sleep to play DQ7 as she works on this site revamp] #43, 2000
Bandai's Log Pose is pretty fun to play with. I played a little too much, and now my
muscles are sore. #44, 2000
The snowy-land arc has ended. (sigh...) But I sure drew a lot of those... "circles". Next
up is a kingdom of sand, so it will be "dots". #45, 2000
WAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Karelin is....!! Am I too late!? #46, 2000
I'm sorry I'm so late, but Kiyu, rest up after all your hard work. Even though you are an
author of a Jump series now, I will mercilessly call you for help again, so I give you my best regards. #47, 2000
It was supposed to be just a short nap, but it ended up as a one-way ticket to the
abyss of deep, deep sleep. Oh, I don't like it. I hate winter. #48, 2000
I can't believe I was asked to write the recommendation letter at the end of KochiKame [Kochira
Katsushika-ku Kameari-Kouen-mae Hashuchujo, the longest running series in Jump - hell, I think this series
has been running a couple months longer than I have been alive...] volume 122.
Volume 122. It's too amazing. #49, 2000
I know it's rather late, but I saw the movie Buena Vista Social Club. It was the best,
truly the best! #50, 2000
I listened to Believe, the new One Piece anime opening song by Folder5.
I can't really phrase it -- it's a song that just makes you want to jump. I'm looking forward to hearing
it on the air. #51, 2000
I went to Nagoya, the land where God lives. I visited the aquarium, or rather, the
Toriyama Palace. I was really fun! #52, 2000
OUCH! Why at the end of the year of all times...!!!? My wisdom tooth that I didn't
pull out 3 years ago...!!! #1, 2001
Dentist diary part 1. "This wisdom tooth is gonna be hard to pull out," is what they said.
Things are looking rather stormy. #2, 2001
Dentist diary part 2. I was late on the day I scheduled the tooth removal. They postponed it
to next week. Damn alarm clock!! Oh, it's turned off. #3/4, 2001
Dentist diary part 3. Slash! Creak, creak, CRACK! CRICK! THUMP! Removal complete.
Oh, the 20th century is ending. #5/6, 2001
I guess I'll say something like a new year's resolution... This year, I want to travel.
Just traveling around here and there. #7, 2001
Jump Festa is a battle of stamina. Good job to all the poeple who came. I was knocked down
by the passionate enthusiasm of the crowd!! #8, 2001
I went home for New Year. I saw some friends for the first time in a few years, but I
didn't feel nostalgic at all. How strange. #9, 2001
I didn't eat any rice cakes this new year's. I only ate like a total of 2 rice cakes
this year... #10, 2001
The fad around here is a soup that simmers for a long time. Everyone in my studio is
crazy about this soup this winter. #11, 2001
Is everyone watching the original series for the TV anime? It's so amusing! I'm jealous! #13, 2001
I'm sorry I took a break! I went and played around in the United States for 10 days!
But, I gained a lot from this trip. #14, 2001
I'm getting a nosebleed!! I got lots of chocolate. Thank you very much. I'll just
eat them all, and draw up a storm! #15, 2001
Did you know that the anime is switching timeslots starting April 15? It's after
KochiKame, on Sundays at 7:30! RESTART!!! #16, 2001
Ejirin, who was my assistant for two and a half years, is resigning. What am I going to do?
Who am I going to harass from now on!? No, really, thanks for your hard work. #17, 2001
Whoever you are that sent a vast amount of hato-sabres [dove-shaped butter cookies, REALLY
yummy #18, 2001
I can't believe it, but four and a half years. Da-asa, my editor that went through good times
and bad with me... He's switching. Thanks for all of your hard work. #19, 2001
My new editor, Mr. Habuta, appears! He has a family, so I'll keep in mind that I can't
ask him to do too many reckless things. I'll just think, though. #20, 2001
I'll warn you, but don't listen to One Piece Grand Battle! on your
CD player. Especially track two.... (giggle) #21/22, 2001
The work of Mikio Itoh has lit up the hearts of every Mongoose (manga artist) all over the country.
Brother, nice work on your series. #23, 2001
Where I'm moving to has finally been decided--!! For now, I got a rental agreement on it!! A
new workplace!! But now, when will I be moving over there....? #24, 2001
Apparently, the ratings for the anime have gotten even better since it moved to Sundays. I'm
watching as well. All the way from 6pm. #25, 2001
During Golden Week, I gathered with my manga comrades and talked about the new Koizumi cabinet.
That is, for about 10 minutes... #26, 2001
The manager of a weapons-shop in Kamakura that I visited before gave me a pirate's sword as a
gift. Thank you very much. #27, 2001
I was shown [Masakazu] Katsura-sensei's home theater. Ah... it already is....
just like a movie theater!! #28, 2001
I got an autograph of Hikaru Kawamura [one of those up-and-coming idol girls in jpn].
You know, it's those connections from Shueisha. Thank you very much! #29, 2001
I was really surprised when my name suddenly appeared on the ending credits for the OP GameBoy game. Oh yeah, I am the original story creator, aren't I... #30, 2001
I heard something sensational during a meeting for the anime. This role and that role will be this person and that!!! #31, 2001
T.T., thank you for sending me character dolls! They're cute, and well-made -- the entire staff was raving about them! They're amazing! #32, 2001
The OP illustraion book on sale 7/19 is amazing! It's Rea~~~~~~~~lly amazing. I dedicate it to the tough world out there. #33, 2001
What's this? Capricorns are 6th this week? Revolving doors? That's the lucky item? I'll go for a spin. |
