Shiatsu Eroica

Posted: June 25, 2008

Notes: The Author has been kind enough to give us Eroica and the Major's birthdays, astrological signs, and even blood type. My son is learning the Japanese massage discipline of Shiatsu, which has roots in accupressure and utilizes the 5 elements.

What Is Five Element Theory?
Five Element Theory helps you understand how natural changes within your body and outside environment affect your health. To predict and understand these dynamic changes, ancient doctors studied nature to determine what universal principles existed that could be applied to health and well-being. Five Element Theory is what they came up with.

The five elements are wood, fire, earth, metal and water. They were selected based on the observations of ancient oriental philosophers who theorized that the natural world embodied these elemental characteristics. Oriental Medicine uses this time-tested, diagnostic model to analyze how the various parts of a person's body and mind interact to affect health.


When Jim started to tell me about the particulars of each, I naturally had to ask about the Major and Dorian. We were both rather stunned by the answers.

The Major is Wood )

Dorian is Fire )

Notes: The Major is introduced in "Iron Klaus" where he states unequivicably that Eroica is his enemy and he wouldn't give him so much as a burnt matchstick. Ten years later, in "Emperor Waltz" the Major publicly admits to being "a friend" of the Earl's.

I posted this for Klaus'
Birthday on Castle Gloria. It's being deleted as it should have posted here. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Klaus

It seems to me he would like this better than anything to do with Eroica, though he does seem to like Dorian a little when he is not being Eroica. Hang in there Dorian!

Another Eroica wiki!

Posted: May 27, 2008

Notes: Anybody here a Television Troper? It's a wiki of "cliches" or literary devices ("tropes") used not only in TV shows, but any form of fiction. (Or even real life.)

I didn't expect to find anything on Eroica. Obviously I underestimated the fandom:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FromEroicaWithLove

(Warning: As with any wiki, but especially this one, be careful about when you check it out and start clicking links. I haven't stayed up this late unintentionally since I was first reading Eroica itself.)

(Also, you may not notice some trope descriptions are spoiler-hidden. Highlight the lines to read.)

Notes: I'm just in time!
I happened to remember that May.15 is Klaus's official birthday!

(I 'm not really someone swinging from joy to sorrow to worry about small detail
 of characters' personal setting like astrology or blood type though....)

EDIT on 16.May: Aoike left a message on her blog for his birthday and fans' comments.

Yes, It is the Major's birthday (May.15.2008)

Thank you for many birthday message to the Major. He must be delighted with them.
It's been so long since I wrote my blog last time, because I've been working on writing a side story of "Alcázar," but I managed to write this to say a word of appreciation for your warm messages to him.
The Major is really a lucky guy that the readers keep his birthday in memory.
I actually do not know how old he is though.(laugh)

After finishing "Alcázar," new Eroica story is planned.
On personnel reshuffle in AKita publishing Co., Ltd., Mr.Y came back again to Princess magazine. I am going to work on new Eroica series with him.
I'm looking forward to working together with you, Mr.Y.

(The side story of "Alcázar" will be on the July+August issue of  Princess Gold magazine available in June.)

Happy birthday message )

Eroica fans rejoice! Klaus is in a gay song!

Notes: My iPod has 805 songs in it. Sometimes, it takes a few months before I get to hear a song again since I always put it on 'shuffle' when I use it.

Today, a song played while I was commuting to school. The title is Neulich Nacht and it's by the German band Terrorgruppe from the Keiner Hilft Euch album. Basically, it's about a guy who dreamt he was gay, freaked out slightly, then decided he wanted to try becoming gay just to see what it was like.

The thing that really gets me is the fact that at the end of the song, he mentions a guy named Klaus. Along with six other men.

Who the hell made this lovely movie ?!

This is from a Japanese movie website "NIKO NIKO DOUGA DOU"(Japanese only), one of the variations of topic movie "calamelldansen" in Japan.
Unfortunately you need to log in to view it. So I created screen shots.

The story seems like this;
A swedish pop song by "caramell" was remixed for an opening of a PC game last year, and it's posted to YouTube so then became well-known in Japan.
This year, someone created dancing movies using actual anime characters in handwriting-touch style with the same music and posted to the Japanese movie site  and it's broked.
There's even Eroica version!!! Thank you!
The movie is just for 25sec.
( ... Does anyone know more about "caramell" or "caramelldansen"? )

Big screenshots and youtube movies » 


EDIT1: Thanks to [info]tubbsen    for the info, there's English instructions to sign up to "NIKO NIKO DOUGA DO":here.
EDIT2: Thanks to [info]may_onaka  , the movie is now available behind the cut  or  at YouTube here.

Mischa's gold medal

Posted: April 8, 2008

Notes: In Alaskan Front (vol 5. page 99) we learn that Mischa used to be an olympic boxer. According to his own words, he won a gold medal at the Helsinki Games (held in 1952). I found this particularly amusing because I live in Helsinki. So because I'm obsessive, I dug up the names of the gold medalists! Thanks to [info]mpricefor reminding me.

By: Margaret Price

Posted: April 7, 2008

Notes: In this side story, we get a closer look into the Earl’s formative years and early training as a thief. This story is interesting in that Dorian and the Major never interact. The Earl goes out of his way to avoid contact so that his operation isn’t compromised. Meanwhile the Major sees curly-haired Dorian look-alikes everywhere but never the genuine article, even when he’s right under his nose!

Notes: So this month's edition of "Princess" came with an omake calender featuring art from some of their premier stories, including Eroica. Unfortunatly, I don't have a scanner and had to take a picture with my camera so I apologize for the glare and poor quality. This weekend I'll look into asking a friend of mine if she can scan it for me so that I can provide you with a better image.

Until then, consider this a sneak preview: Jan-Feb 2009 )

Dear Major,

MIRROR ENTRY – COMMENTS DISABLED

By: mattisune

Posted: March 29, 2008

Notes: Random fact;
That lovely nursery rhyme you sing to put yourself to sleep at night? Its origin is American..Massachusetts to be exact, in a small town called Sterling. In 1830, it was inspired by a real little girl named Mary, who actually DID bring her pet lamb to school one day.

How sweet it is to know that, while you have your belief in mainly German crafted things, it is an American Nursery Rhyme that safely sends you off to dream land at night. So there seems to be at least ONE thing from us 'Yanks' you find appealing. And funny how its an American Nursery Rhyme from a former British Colony ..... wouldn't it be amusing if Dorian were to look up his family tree and possibly find the branch of his family that might have moved to America and had some hand in the creation of this rhyme? (well it would)

Posted: March 25, 2008

Notes: I don’t think any other story underscores the love/hate relationship Eroica has with the Major better than this one. For the first time, the Major gets hit with full blown retaliation from Dorian, reciprocal retribution be damned. Their antics are like a sibling rivalry from hell. Let the war between the Major and the Earl begin!

The book the skcetches taken from is published long ago (in 1982) with color artworks, a whole story "Trafalger" and some of Aoike's sketchs.

There are big scans in the liked pages.
(these posts are under schlosseberbach-memeber locked)

1/3: The arcanum of the Major's body
2/3: The Major on a payday and Dorian with shorter hair
3/3: Tryian and period bad guys

I hope you enjoy it !

Book Six - Side Story One - Special Vacation Orders

By: Margaret Price

Posted: March 16, 2008

Notes: This story is my personal favorite of all the side stories. It has nothing to do with the fact that it’s a Klaus-centric story. (Well, maybe just a little.) I love the fact that the Major seems to have turned off his Iron Klaus radar and is completely oblivious to the KGB swarming around him. Equally amusing is that the KGB interprets everything his does as cunning ploys to thwart them. It is pure crack, and I love it to pieces.
