Can't get enough of Danish rap artists Nik & Jay's 2008 album "De Største". Currently listening to the remix for "Lækker" featuring LOC...! Nik & Jay are worth a listen. Although every Danish artists I've liked I've recommended... For some reason I'm really patriotic about Denmark. And I'm from New Zealand. Although my ancestors were (apparently) from there so there's a good excuse. Today's raids are on more illustrations I've done and a little bit of Kiwi celebration. ^_^
Raid 11: Denmark & Norway, YEAH!
...Strange title, yes. But I have drawn my first Hetalia manga, woohoo! And it's of Denmark and Norway. Hetalia fans that like the Scandinavian characters know that each of the Nordic countries has its own disturbingly difficult to understand Japanese dialect (Finland and Iceland's accents are mainland though). And Japan has god knows how many dialects. There are just too many. Since it's northern Europe they have dialects from the northern parts of Japan which can sometimes be incomprehensible. I looked up IbaraKing's Ibaraki-ben dictionary just so I could have Denmark say a few phrases. Thank god Norway didn't speak at all in this manga. xD
...I really do hope that one day Himaruya-sensei personifies Faroe Islands and Greenland. And also Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
Raid 12: New Zealand's Big Night In
On this day until 6pm tomorrow night, New Zealand is having a telethon, since the last one 15 years ago! Watched the start of it before going off into the other room to type this up and there were performances from Gin and The Dukes! Gin is so lovely. I heard she has an opportunity to try and make it in America. She's more suited for Europe though...-_-; She has a nice dress sense though. Like Minuet.
The telethon's purpose is to help the school kids in our country get raincoats, school shoes and food so the country's aim is to raise $2,000,000 by calling/texting and donating and all of that goes to the charity that can give them these privileges. Although I can't help but think that the parents of the kids let alone the communities in our country can't even provide these things for them without having to resort to a giant telethon. On the positive side, they're doing something about it.
So until next week, once again trying to think desperately of something to talk about. And hopefully as I get more computer savvy this blog might actually look decent soon.
Ciao ciao~
