let's go exploring

Was looking through a couple of old artbooks I bought at Kinokuniya (while in high school, no less, so rather than reading them, I basically just looked at the pretty pictures) -- and lo and behold, came across a few interviews that I forgot even existed! So, I decided to try my hand at translating a few of them.

And since I'm doing this, I thought, why not start off with CLAMP? Yes, that is a rhetorical question. :D

I've found that the X/ZERO artbook has interviews with both Ohkawa Nanase and Apapa Mokona (when they still went by those names), so I guess that makes them my first victims. These are all way back from the year 2000, but strangely or not, don't seem to have a specific date attached to them.

I don't think I have to worry about this with you guys, but please don't distribute this translation without permission. I'm mostly doing this to bone up on my translating skills, which have gotten pretty rusty, so there are bound to be mistakes. If anyone has any critique to offer, I'd be glad to take that into account.

( So, it's been seven years since they last worked on X, and at least three more since they've been planning out something like Tsubasa. Good to know. )

Man, that took longer than I thought it would. Now, onto something else!
