“Mermaid Princess Amelia and the Lost Symphony” isn’t your stereotypical mermaid-meets-human love story. Amelia is still far from admitting she has romantic feelings for anybody, and Edith’s situation isn’t much better – she and Jet Mir still have a long way, to a happy relationship.
There’s one more couple, though, that almost didn’t get any attention on this blog, and so, I decided to write about them. I’m talking about Kamadia and Hansuke, obviously.
Amelia first hears about them from Edith. As she mentions her karate partner Taisuke to her, Edith asks: “Not Hansuke?” and adds, he dated her friend Kamadia.
In another conversation, she tells Amelia, Kamadia was in the team of Santa Ana mermaids, but disappeared after her birthday. Apparently, she went home for her birthday, and never came back.
After that, Amelia rescues someone from drowning. She thinks that this is Taisuke, but to her surprise, it turns out, it’s his brother Hansuke.
Here’s where we learn that Hansuke is an arrogant, self-entitled brat, who doesn’t respect anybody, not even his own brother – often calling him a loser and ridiculing the things that Taisuke does (you can find more details in here).
It turns out, though, that Hansuke has a good reason to be annoyed: he’s grieving the loss of Kamadia, who went missing. It’s highly likely that Hansuke is so angry because he feels powerless about this situation.
Interestingly, when Amelia meets Kamadia in the Mausoleum of Lost Symphonies, she’s just as started by her attitude as when she had met Hansuke. Kamadia is so depressed, she doesn’t care about making a good impression on Amelia. She states that she had forgotten about everything that happened earlier, to protect herself from madness.
It would look like Kamadia and Hansuke are angry at the whole world because life just isn’t going how they’d like it to. They also suffer because of their separation, however, while Hansuke is still trying to do something to find Kamadia, Kamadia gave up completely.
When Edith hugs Kamadia after their reunion, she calls her with an affectionate nickname “Kami” – same one that Hansuke used as he had spoken about Kamadia, to Amelia.
Interestingly, “Kami” is the Japanese word for spirit or deity. Hence, in a lot of ways, “Kami” is a lot like “Edha” – Edith’s nickname that she had got from Jet Mir, and that means “sacred.”
When Kamadia and Hansuke reunite, it’s as if the time apart didn’t happen at all. He instantly lifts her in the air and turns her around, causing her to feel flustered. This points to the fact that their bond is quite strong. It looks like, Hansuke really loves Kamadia.
Still, we know nothing of how they met and got together, and what their relationship looks like every day. Hopefully we can learn something more about it in “Mermaid Princess Amelia and the Destiny’s Theater.”
