connecting the dots
Reading the transcript of current Nintendo president Satoru Iwata's keynote at GDC, I noticed he mentioned that he was part of the group that created Mother, a game that Amano-sensei notes as one of her favorites. Iwata-san mentioned in his speech that Mother was released as Earthbound in the US, a crucial clue. So I went to look it up, and here's what I found. Amano-sensei has good taste.:)
In other news, Amano-sensei has posted some interesting new sketches on the Aria site, featuring a woman in an Orange Planet uniform. (from the home page, click the middle graphic (chibi-Akari) and click on the 2nd-to-last dot in the last row of large dots. sorry I can't be more specific.) It's not Alice, as she has no gloves, so I'm guessing that this is the third Water Fairy. I don't see anything that would be her name - nothing in the captions starts with "A." XD The first caption reads "Dougare kyuuden no nakaniwa" (Doges' Palace Courtyard?) and the second caption is "Dougare kyuuden no shirou no you desu" (Seems like Doges' palace castle[?]), so I think the setting is the Neo-Venezia version of the Doges' Palace in present-day Venice.
Why does she look so sad?

Yea that would be the third waterfairy, and caretaker of Alice(browsed a Chinese vol.5 and saw Alice living with her).
Probably her name starts with an A as every other named character in the Manga(kinda gives you a headace remembering all the A s, no? >_<)
