I want to roll up in a cinnamon roll.


October 4th is Cinnamon Roll Day in Sweden.
In Swedish, cinnamon roll is kanelbulle (カネルブッレ).
It appears to be a day about making and eating cinnamon rolls.

Why am I writing about this sort of thing when October is so far away?
It’s because I’m eating a cinnamon roll.
Cinnamon rolls are so tasty.

The nice products that come from Scandinavia are…

【Licorice Candy】

Black candy eaten often in Denmark, Norway,
and Iceland that uses a very sweet plant called licorice.
If you eat it without knowing what it is,
you can see aurora- a Nordic-made berserker.

It is sold in candy vending machines in America,
in cute packages, looking like red gummy which makes you think that it’s candy.
But if you eat it thinking it’s candy, you go through hell.

※Candy Vending Machine
Very useful vending machine that’s in every American dorm
or school which sells mini-sized candy whenever you want it at around 50~200 Yen.

【Nordic Joke】

Probably because the five Nordic countries have too variant and interesting personalities, there are quite a lot of jokes.

Nordic


【Denmark】
A big-brother type who extremely vigorous. He’s pretty funny.
He likes his childhood friend Norway and believes that Norway thinks of him as a best friend too, but the truth is…


【Norway】
A mysterious young man that seems like he has little who depends on him and has an atmosphere like he had fallen from Ukiyo.
He somberly picks on Denmark but that guy never notices.
No matter what he says, Iceland is his little brother so he takes care of him.

[T/N: Ukiyo]


【Iceland】
A mysterious young boy with a cool exterior and a hot interior.
(Iceland is made up of ice on the surface and a volcano underneath, so the hot spring industry is pretty popular)
You can’t really tell if he yields to his older brother, and he’s pretty fantastic too.


【Finland】
Moi. It seems like he’s the really troubled one within these 5.


【Sweden】
……..

While I drew these, I was listening Fredrik Swahn’s version of “Du Gamla Du Fria” (the Swedish national anthem) that I bought off iTunes.
It’s a really good song!
I usually have “jana gana mana” (India’s national anthem) playing in my list.
This calms me down, too.
You can listen to either of those on iTunes so if you’re interested please check it out.

Scandanavian Rangers


I finished!! It’s the 5 scandinavians.
It kind of was an interesting touch so it turned out surprisingly nice.

Norwegian saying:
“If Scandinavia was made up of brothers, Sweden and Denmark would both be the eldest, always fighting, and Iceland would think that he isn’t an older nor younger brother.”
How cute!
