I feel as though my birthday has come early: chucklingowl sent me the elusive album, Sora no Iro! I am utterly grateful.
And now, the Sorairo Magatama Musical page is more or less complete! Enjoy the music here.
Saya’s actress has such a lovely clear voice, and ZABADAK’s melodies are extremely compelling. It’s a variety of styles, too, from traditional Japanese folk, to rock, to ballad. I’m completely in love with the soundtrack.
The Magatama trilogy, that is, and hopefully not H1N1, although the swine flu is going around campus and I am currently as sick as a puppy. Here’s hoping it’s just a bad cold. :]
I have started reading Hakuchou Iden, so expect The Books section to be updated.
Welcome to Tales of Magatama, your English resource on Dragon Sword and Wind Child (空色勾玉) and Noriko Ogiwara’s Magatama trilogy (勾玉三部作). Information can be found in the About and The Books sections; media downloads (art, music, etc.) can be found in the Media section.
Navigation is in the horizontal menu above and in the sidebar. Any questions and/or comments can be left via comment box under relevant pages or any update post. You can also subscribe to updates with our RSS feed. Thank you for visiting — buy the book, spread the word, and come back soon!
I’ve still got a lot of “lost art” in my Magatama folder (fanart with unknown artists collected through the years). While I figure out what to do with them, I’ll share some cool DSWC fanart that I found on Oekaki Art and Pixiv (Japanese art galleries).
http://oekakiart.net/rogu/c/iracon008/html/0059.html — a lovely digital painting in soft CG style featuring Saya and Chihaya, Torihiko, Lady Iwa, Princess Teruhi, and Prince Tsukishiro.
http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=3350684 I’m afraid you’ll need an account to full-view on Pixiv, but here’s the thumbnail for you to enjoy. A sweet watercolor painting of the cast of Dragon Sword and Wind Child.
Well, that was more copy-pasting than I’ve ever done in my life!
This site is now more text-based and less image-heavy than its previous incarnations. It is my hope that it provides an easier browsing experience and in all ways serves as a better resource for English-speaking fans of the Magatama trilogy.
Everything is now up and running with the exception of the character pages to the sequels (which shall be filled in as I read).
I want to give a huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to telophase for the generous donation of server space to host dswc. It has been an amazing, amazing experience so far, and I shall be forever in your debt. :’D
Now I’m off to “take down” www.skycolor.com.net.sc and celebrate~
