こんにちは、土屋です。 先週のエイプリルフール、トウコウスフィア、そしてニコニコ生放送の３連コン ボをご覧いただきました皆さまありがとうございました！新年度が始まって色々 な期待と不安が入り交じる時期ですが、そんな中で皆さんの一時の安らぎの時間 になっていたのなら、私の方もとてもうれしく思います。 しかし、ニコニコ生放送を最後までご覧いただいた皆さまには、大変お見苦しい ところをお見せして申し訳有りませんでした；；せめて１曲くらい弾けたら良かっ たのですが…といいますか、歌詞をど忘れしなければ良かったのですが（汗 アレはここ最近一番の大後悔でしたので、もしまた機会があるようなら、次はせ めてちゃんと謳わせていただきます。。。 ニコニコ生放送で約束しました「俺嫁グッズ」（ニコニコ生放送中に皆さんに投 票していただき、１位になったヒロインのグッズを作る企画がありました）の方 も、少しお時間かかってしまうかもしれませんが、必ず作りますのでどうぞよろ しくお願いします。

Hello everyone, it's Tsuchiya. Thank you for having watched the 3-in-one Combo of last week's April Fools, the Toukousphere and also the NicoNico Live Broadcast! The period after the new year started is filled with all sorts of expectations mixed with anxiety, but if we could give you a little while of relax within these hard times, that'd make me very happy. However, everyone who watched the NicoNico Live Broadcast to the very end were treated to a very unsightly spectacle, and for that I apologize T_T. I'd have been glad if I could have played at least one song decently... But even if I say that, it'd have been better had I not forgotten the lyrics... *sweats* That's the greatest regret I've had in recent memory, so if I ever have a chance to redo it, next time I'll make sure to sing it properly... As we promised in the NicoNico Live Broadcast, we'll start making some [my waifu goods] (it's a project we framed up where we'll be making goods based on the heroine that got the most votes in the poll we conducted during the NicoNico Live Broadcast), and while it might take us some time, we'll be sure to make them. Please, count on us for it.

さて、時期同じくして、設定資料集同梱のDVDマスターが上がりました！先週は 本当にこれも含めて、かなりバタバタしておりましたが、お陰様でとても見応え があるものに仕上がったと思います。DVDは、アルトネリコ３で３Ｄモデルを担 当していただいた（そして感謝祭PHASE2でも暴走しまくった！）ntnyさんによる ディレクション作品ですので、そのクオリティとぶっ飛び具合は折り紙付きです。 私の方も音とDVDメニューなど担当しましたが、爆笑しながら作業させていただ きました。各ヒロインのグラビアムービーなども、全部モーションを作り起こし で全ヒロイン全人格収録、更には「こいつもか！」というキャラも入っています ので、どうぞお楽しみに！

Well then, at the same time, we've finished mastering the DVD that will be included with the Setting Encyclopedia! Last week was very noisy in part thanks to it, but thanks to that, I think we've made up something that will be worth your time watching. The DVD was made under the direction of ntny-san, the creator of the Ar tonelico 3 3D Models (and who also went crazy in the Fan Thanksgiving Festival PHASE 2!), so it's guaranteed to have an excellent quality. I was also in charge of the sound for the DVD's menu, but I laughed very loudly as I was working on it. It also has things like the gravure movies for each heroine, and we recorded every single motion for all the personae each heroine has, and we also included a certain character that will get you going [That one too!?], so please look ofrward to it!

次に、ハーヴェ様クッションについてです。皆さんには相次ぐ商品品切れの為に 大変ご迷惑をおかけしまして申し訳ございませんでした。ここのフォームからも、 ガストショップのお問い合わせからも、トウコウスフィアにも、再版希望のメー ルが殺到し（本当に殺到しました）、改めてその人気の高さを実感いたしました。 ただ、元々それなりに売れるだろうと判断はしておりまして、通常のグッズより もかなり多めに数量を設定していたのですが、それでも１日で売り切れが２回も 続いてしまうというもの凄い売れ行きだったのでした（あまり数字は出せません が、ガストショップ内のアルトネグッズの中では、歴代音楽CDを除くと既にトッ プクラスの売れ行きとなっております！）。そこで、欲しいと思っている方全員 に是非お贈りしたいという事で、次回以降も、需要がある限り再版を続けていき たいと思っております。何分量産がきかない商品ですので、お渡し時期は若干遅 くなってしまうと思われますが、何卒ご了承いただきますようお願い申し上げま す。 というわけで、最後に皆さんにお土産画像としまして、ハーヴェ様クッションの プロトタイプが上がってきましたので、それをお見せしてお別れしたいと思いま す。 それではまた次回！

Next, we'll talk about the Lady Harve Cushion. Because it went out of stock right after we put it up, I'm sure it must have caused you all great trouble, and for that I apologize. We've also got a flood (a real flood!) of requests for it to be restocked in this column's opinion form, in the Gust Shop enquiry option, in the Toukousphere and even via e-mail, so I could feel all again how ridiculously popular it was. However, since we decided that was the number of cushions we would originally sell and we actually had produced a fair bit more of them in comparison to the production run we give to normal goods, we didn't imagine it would become such a big seller that it would run out of stock twice on the same day (we don't have the exact figures, but the cushion ended getting on the first class of most-sold products in the Gust Shop's Ar tonelico Goods section if we omit the music CDs!) For these reasons, I'd like to give a chance to those who want to buy a cushion, so if there's enough demand for it, by the time the next issue gets published we'll issue a limited reprint of it. It's a product we can't mass-produce, so please take in mind it might take longer for it to reach your hands. Well then, to finish this issue, I'd like to give you all a souvenir picture, and I'll do so now as I bid you all farewell: it's the prototype we used to make the Lady Harve Cushion. So see you all next issue!
