<br>

File ??? 8-12-2004 Good grief, every last one of them…<br>
コナンとキッドの対決が詰まった本とはいえ、みんな買ってくれるのか不安だったけど、少なくともこれ読んでる人は買ってくれてるんだよね、ありがとう。<br> 
+
File ??? 11-25-2004 So women are just apéritifs?<br>
<br>
+
====2005====
でも最初にキッドを登場させたときは、1回きりのスペシャルゲストみたいな感じで描いてたから、正直、本が作れるくらい出てくるとは思わなかったな、驚き(笑)。<br> 
+
File ??? 1-27-2005 昔懐かしいドジッ子ね・・・<br>
<br>
+
====2006====
はじめは単純にコナンに強力なライバルが欲しかっただけだからね。 <br>
+
File ??? 4-18-2006 I wonder if he’ll be able to go to New York if he answers correctly to all questions?<br>
<br>
+
File ??? 7-04-2006 Speaking of mahjong, “Akagi” is pretty interesting… The anime ended, though.<br>
服部平次は、推理する上ではライバルだけど探偵仲間。 <br>
+
File ??? 7-09-2006 どうせなら青子ちゃんも出せばいいのに・・・って、根岸君が言ってたわ<br>
<br>
+
File ??? 7-14-2006 He started to get used to drawing Goro, hasn’t he…<br>
そうじゃなくって探偵の宿敵というか天敵みたいなライバルを出したかったんだよね。 <br>
+
====2007====
<br>
+
File ??? 1-06-2007 He’s the one who was done in and yet he tries to look cool…<br>
だったらやっぱり、アルセーヌ・ルパンやルパン三世みたいな神出きぱつ*で大胆不敵な怪盗でしょ? <br>
+
File ??? 8-02-2007 Be careful when you go fishing!<br>
<br>
+
File ??? 8-06-2007 Why don’t you try using “Love’s Strategy”?<br>
自分も子供の頃から、彼らのファンだったしね。 で、コナンも相当頭がいいから、ちゃんと対抗できる相手を、いろいろ考えていたんだけど… 待てよ!? <br>
+
File ??? 10-21-2007 As usual, detective Takagi irritates people…<br>
<br>
+
File ??? 11-11-2007 Speaking of coffee, apparently Aoyama-sensei is addicted to coffee nowadays… the brand would have to be Blue Mountain, I guess (laughs)<br>
そういえば、 ちょうどピッタリなヤツを、 オレは知ってるぞって。 <br>
+
====2008====
<br>
+
File ??? 11-07-2008 I want to see Detective Satou oozing, too, don't you?<br>
しかも、身近にいる!(笑) <br>
 
<br>
 
ただ自分の作品とはいえ、別作品の主人公を出していいのか悩んだから、当時の少年サンデーの編集長に相談してみると、あっさりといいって言ってくれて。<br> 
 
<br>
 
めでたくコナンと怪盗キッドの対決が実現したってワケ。 <br>
 
<br>
 
そんないきさつもあって、『まじっく快斗』の「ブラック・スターの巻」(この本では「最初の対決」として収録)で、新一が登場してくる話なんて、当然、最初は全然考えてなかった(笑)。 <br>
 
<br>
 
もちろん今はコナンとキッドの関係とか、ちゃんと考えてあるけどね。 <br>
 
<br>
 
でも『まじっく快斗』に新一を出したのは、時期的に新一の姿での活躍をちゃんと描いてやりたかっただけど、別に深い関係とか意味はないなぁ。 <br>
 
<br>
 
もともとキッド=快斗には、中森警部や白馬君っていうライバルがいるからね。 <br>
 
<br>
 
新一は、いわばスペシャルゲスト。 <br>
 
<br>
 
というわけで、コナンになる前の新一の貴重な活躍をこの本でじっくり楽しんでください。 <br>
 
<br>
 
あと『まじっく快斗』ファンのために解決しておくと、時計塔の話は中森警部が警視庁に転属になる前、まだみなと**警察署にいるころの話になってます。 <br>
 
<br>
 
追いかけるものと、それから逃げる者、『名探偵コナン』でのコナンと怪盗キッドの対決は、これからもまだ続いていくと思います。 <br>
 
<br>
 
まあ、最後に勝つのはどっちかわからないけど(笑)。 <br>
 
<br>
 
自分でも楽しみながら描いていくと思うんで、期待しててください!!<br>
 
<br>
 
*The furigana reads "kipatsu" but I guess the kanji is something different? I can't seem to get the correct kanji to show up for the life of me.<br>
 
**Furigana reads "Minato" but it doesn't match the kanji used for "Minato-ku", so I'm not sure what kanji is used.<br>

Interview in Conan Drill from 2003 translated! No spoiler on the plot here, though there are a lot of interesting tidbits.<br>
+
File 718 ???<br>
<br>
+
File 719 ???<br>
Note: I took a lot of liberty with the English this time, since I wanted to focus more on making the English sound natural and readable. I usually try to translate as directly as possible, but I realize that the weird English probably turns off a lot of people – let me know if I've taken too much liberty, though.<br>
+
File 720 ???<br>
<br>
+
File 721 ???<br>
Also, Gosho says a lot of things here that he mentions in future interviews, like how he was told to change Conan's name to Doyle since there was a work called Future Boy Conan, directed by Hayao Miyazaki. You kinda realize that interviewers keep asking the same questions, maybe because they don't bother looking over past interviews, ha ha.<br>
+
File 722 2-08-2010 Whoa☆ (Is it bad that) Shinichi-kun saw me!<br>
<br>
+
File 723 2-19-2010 Revealed the butt, huh?<br>
Highlights:<br>
+
File 724 2-26-2010 Be careful of colds… Sensei has one, apparently…<br>
The plot for conan was planned in two weeks<br>
+
File 725 2-27-2010 I want to see the Jack (Bauer) Kogoro-san on anime, don't you?<br>
Gosho is not "high-strung / neurotic" - he seems pretty laid back<br>
+
File 726 3-05-2010 As I thought, Yumi-san was pulling the strings from behind the scenes…<br>
Apparently, in File 125~, the dude pays the gal to be his lover<br>
+
File 727 3-12-2010 As expected of a former delinquent, Midori-san makes you quiver♥ <br>
Gosho has an editor who is from Kansai, and looks at DC's Kansai-ben – this makes sense, I've read people on 2chan talk about how young Kansai people these days don't say "ame-chan" (Files 778-780), but since Gosho gets coached on Kansai-ben by an older guy, the Kansai-ben in DC is rather dated.<br>
+
File 728 3-22-2010 Cantabile, maybe?<br>
Gosho has two younger brothers, one who's an engineer and another who's a doctor. The engineer helps Gosho with tricks related to cars, and the doctor helps Gosho with medicine-related topics, like APTX. The doctor is also an anime otaku who advices Gosho about which voice actor should voice whom.<br>
+
File 729 3-28-2010 I turned this manuscript in at the last minute…<br>
Gosho also seems to have connections who are former police detectives, people working at banks, CSIs, etc.<br>
+
File 730 4-03-2010 Oops☆ It was Megumi and Chiaki, huh?<br>
Gosho decided when he started that Conan won't cry<br>
+
File 731 4-19-2010 The legend of Ryouma is interesting, isn't it♥<br>
Gosho only draws characters with names, leave backgrounds and characters without names to assistants - does that mean that the forensics dude who wasn't Tomo-san in File 756-758 will become important someday?! Lol I dunno.<br>
+
File 732 4-25-2010 What is up with the Phantom Lady?!<br>
Maybe you guys knew this already, but apparently Paikaru/Baiganer isn't a real brand of alcohol – the name comes from a character in Lupin III.<br>
+
File 733 5-03-2010 The Phantom Lady is curious, isn't she?<br>
<br><br>
+
File 734 5-25-2010 If you coat a dog with phosphorus, the dog will die, so don't imitate this, okay?<br>
青山先生は大学を卒業してから漫画家になられたんですよね。学生時代から将来は漫画家に、と決めていたんですか?<br>
+
File 735 5-31-2010 The old man on the first page has quite a face, but he has nothing to do with the story, so don't care about him, okay?<br>
Q: Aoyama-sensei became a manga artist after graduating from college, right? Have you decided to be a manga artist from your student days?<br>
+
File 736 6-10-2010 Hachi's cute♥<br>
<br>
+
File 737 6-16-2010 I'm glad that Hachi is safe…<br>
青山 大学時代から漫研には入っていましたけど、大学へは美術の先生になろうかなと漠然と考えて進学しました。小学生の頃、卒業文集に「将来は漫画家になる」と書いたらしいんですが、それも自分では覚えていないんです。でもまあ、子供の頃から絵や漫画を書くのは好きだったので、教科書にパラパラ漫画なんかを描いて遊んでいましたね。ただ、漫画を描いていると親には叱られましたから、コソコソではあったけど。漫画を始めて投稿したのは大学4年のときでしたが、卒業して漫画家になるといったら親には反対されました。学校の先生ならいいけど、漫画家なんてやっぱりどう転ぶかわからないやくざな商売でしょう。親としては、そりゃ心配しますよね。漫画家になる直接のきっかけは、先輩ですでに漫画家の人がいて、「青山、おまえちょっと出してみないか?」と声をかけてくれたことです。それで、ある少年誌に送ったら佳作になったんですよ。これはサンデーじゃないんですけど。で、ひょっとしたら俺ってうまいのかなと思って。それが大学4年のときでしたね。<br>
+
File 738 6-23-2010 A blade that sparkles once it's pulled…<br>
A: I was studying manga since my college days, but I entered the university while vaguely thinking that I will become an art teacher someday. Apparently I wrote "I will become a manga artist in the future" in my elementary school's graduation anthology, but I don't remember it. Although, I did like drawing pictures and manga and such from childhood, and I drew flip books and such into my textbook. My parents scolded me when I drew manga, though, so there was a sneaky quality to it. I submitted manga for the first time when I was a fourth year university student, but when I told my parents that I will become a manga artist after graduation, my parents opposed me. Being a school teachers is fine, but being a manga artist is, after all, an unpredictable, yakuza-like business. Of course you would worry if you were a parent.The direct cause behind becoming a manga artist for me was when a senpai, who was already a manga artist, asked me, "Hey, Aoyama, do you want to try submitting?" Then, I sent one to a certain shonen magazine, and the work received a kasaku*. This wasn't at Sunday, though. After this, I thought that maybe I could possibly be good. This was when I was a fourth year university student.*佳作 (kasaku) directly translates to 1. well executed work or 2. second best work at something like an art/literature contest (source); however, given the context, it seems that if you receive this then you debut as a manga artist, so I left the original Japanese term since I'm not sure how to translate it. Some people translate it as an "honorable mention", but I don't know how accurate that is.<br>
+
File 739 6-25-2010 Making me rest for two issues, I wonder if this is the World Cup's influence… (good job Honda-kun♥)<br>
<br>
+
File 740 7-04-2010 (Something about the baumkuchen making Shiho thirsty?)<br>
周りはもう就職活動していた時期ですか?<br>
+
File 741 ???<br>
Q: Back then, were the people around you already searching for permanent jobs?<br>
+
File 742 ???<br>
<br>
+
File 743 8-08-2010 It finally begins… the hellish London arc…<br>
青山 そうです。僕も一応、教育実習へ行ったんですよ。まだ地元の高校の美術教師になる選択肢もありましたから。でも自分なかでは、佳作に入った時点で、もうそういう気はなくなっていたのかな。アルバイトでフジテレビの「ポンキッキ」の背景書いたりして、就職活動はまったくしていなかったら。<br>
+
File 744 ????????? Love is zero, how quick-witted…<br>
A: Yes. For me, I trained to be a teacher, just in case, since I still had the option to become an art teacher at my hometown's high school. Although, when I received the kasaku, I think I lost the urge to continue down that path. I drew the background for Ponkikki and such for part time jobs, so I wasn't searching for a permanent job at all.<br>
+
File 745 8-30-2010 It will be all right, since Ran-chan can run fast…<br>
<br>
+
File 746 9-06-2010 Run, Ran-chan! <br>
学生時代はどんな生活でした?先生が描かれる漫画はみんな登場人物が個性的でしょう。ああいうの、学生時代の人間関係の影響もあるのかなと思いますが。<br>
+
File 747 ???<br>
Q: How did you live as a university student? The characters in the manga that sensei draws are all unique - I suspect this might be due to influence from human relationships during student days.<br>
+
File 748 ?????????? Isn't Hades hot?<br>
<br>
+
File 749 ?????????? I saw Minerva's underwear♥<br>
青山 うん、影響は学生時代に限らず、子供の頃からの蓄積でいろいろあるでしょうね。大学時代は、麻雀ですね、麻雀をよくやっていましたよ(笑)。住んでいたのは最初、西武池袋線沿いの江古田で、そのあと千川。ここがいちばん長かったんですが、大学に近いのですぐ麻雀のメンツなんかは集まるわけです。誰かの家に集まってやる事が多かったですね、お金もなかったですし。けっこう僕は強かったんですよ、当時。でも今はだめですね、やる時間がそもそもないですし、やってもみんなが楽しければいいやと思って、高い手を狙って打っちゃう。そうすると負けます。負けるだろうなと思って打って、やっぱり負ける(笑)。<br>
+
File 750 ?????????? This is becoming a tennis manga…<br>
A: Yes, though I think I was influenced not only during my university years but throughout my life, accumulating from my childhood. As for my university years, I did mahjong - a lot of mahjong (laughs). I used to live first in Egoda, which is along the Seibu Ikebukuro Line, then in Senkawa. The distance was the longest here, but it was close to the university so we met up for mahjong and such. We met up at someone's house many times, since we didn't have money. I was pretty strong back then. Right now, not so much - I don't have time to play, and even when I do play I think that we should just have fun, so I aim for a high hand. If you do that, you lose. If you play thinking that you'll lose, then you really will, as you'd expect (laughs).<br>
+
File 751 10-02-2010 Speaking of tennis, Date-san is amazing…<br>
<br>
+
File 752 ?????????? I saw Minerva's underwear again♥<br>
お金がなかったといっても、先生の学生の頃はもうそんな時代でもないでしょう?<br>
+
File 753 10-16-2010 Got angry after getting confessed, eh?<br>
Q: Even if you say you didn't have money, it wasn't such a period back when sensei was a student, right?<br>
+
File 754 10-23-2010 (Shiho hates static electricity)<br>
<br>
+
File 755 ??????????? I wonder if I should buy a Galaxy Nexus to replace my Prada Phone…<br>
青山 いや、けっこう貧乏だったなあ。カレーには肉を入れられなかったし。5日ぐらいそんな貧しいカレーで食いつなぐんですよ。毎日毎日カレー。でも米は田舎から送ってもらったので、食う物が何もないってことはなかったけど。米さえあれば何とかなるんですよね。毎日カレーばっかり食べて誰かの家で麻雀やってって、絵に描いたような貧乏大学生の姿だと思いますよ。<br>
+
File 756 ???<br>
A: Nah, I was pretty poor. I couldn't put in meat into curry. I would eat such an indigent curry for five days straight. Curry day after day. But I was sent rice from my hometown, so I did always have something to eat. If you have rice, you manage, don't you? I ate nothing but curry everyday and I played mahjong at someone's house - I think I was the very picture of a poor college student.<br>
+
File 757 ???<br>
<br>
+
File 758 ???<br>
2002年の12月31日の夜。先生のスケジュールがこの日しか開かないという中で、インタビューは行われた。かなり疲れていることは想像が付いたし、少々先生が不機嫌でも仕方がないと思っていた。しかし疲れているのは当然なのに、こちらにそれを感じさせる場合はほとんどなかったといっていい。作家として一流なのはご存知の通りだが、人間としても大人のキチンとした人、という印象なのだ。<br>
+
File 759 ???<br>
December 31, 2002, nighttime. The interview took place, since sensei's schedule was apparently only open on this day. I could imagine that sensei was considerably tired; I thought that it couldn't be helped that sensei might be ill-humored. However, you couldn't tell that he was tired, even though he must have been. My impression was that he was upright as a human being and as an adult, though he was of course aware that he was first-class as an artist.<br>

File ??? 12-24-2010 If (I) get buried in the snow like this… I wonder if I will feel completely white… From the grey Santa who can’t become completely white…<br>
実はこうしてお会いするまでは、青山先生が気むずかしい方でも仕方がないなと思っていました。ミステリー作家は複雑な性格の方が多いというのは事実だし、ましてやハードなスケジュールですから。でも想像していたよりずっとほがらかで、ちょっと驚いています。<br>
 
Q: In truth, I thought that it couldn't be helped if Aoyama-sensei had a difficult temper, until I met you like this. It is the truth that mystery writers often have complicated personalities, to say nothing of their difficult schedules. I'm surprised that you are far more cheerful than I've imagined you to be.<br>
 
<br>
 
青山 もっとストレスの固まりみたいな人間を想像していました?もちろんストレスはあるけど、もともと神経質な方ではないんですよ。だからハードスケジュールでも耐えられるというところもあるかな。僕も推理小説とか読んでて、この作者は神経質だなあと思う事がありますね。人のアラ捜すのがうまいやつだなとか。僕の場合はまったくそういうタイプではないです。編集者を困らせた事もあまりない・・・・・・と自分では思うんですけど(笑)。編集者とケンカすることもないですね。ケンカするとしても漫画とは関係ないところで、すごいくだらないこと。編集者が阪神ファンで、僕は巨人ファンなんですが、巨人の優勝がかかっている試合で阪神が巨人に連勝したとき、たまたま映画のポスターのイラストを描く約束をしていたんですよ。でも気分悪いから「俺、描かねえぞ!」って(笑)。編集者も心得たもので、その日はもう連絡してきませんでした(笑)。これ、ケンカっていうのかなあ。<br>
 
A: Did you imagine someone who was stress personified? I have stress, of course, but I've never been the type to be highly strung. I think that that's why I can endure difficult schedules. I, too, think sometimes that some writers are highly strung when I read their work – the type who are good at searching people from scratch, and such. For me, I'm not that type of person at all. I haven't inconvenienced the editor* much, either . . . or at least, I'd like to think so (laughs).I haven't quarreled with the editor, either. Even if there's a quarrel, it's not about manga, it's about something really trivial. The editor is a Hanshin fan, and I'm a Giants fan; when Hanshin won consecutively against the Giants in the match where the Giants' championship was at stake, I happened to have promised to draw the illustration for the movie poster. But I was in a bad mood, so I said, "I'm not drawing!" (laughs) Since the editor was understanding, he didn't contact me anymore that day (laughs). This isn't really a quarrel, is it? *Strictly speaking, the term could be plural, but I've left it as singular here since Aoyama seems to be talking about his editor.<br>
 
<br>
 
少年サンデーではない雑誌に始めて投稿なさって佳作になったんですよね。そのままそちらでやるという気持ちはなかったんですか?なぜ少年サンデーへ?<br>
 
Q: You got an kasaku with a submission to a magazine other than Shonen Sunday, right? Did you not want to continue at that magazine? Why the move to Shonen Sunday?<br>
 
<br>
 
青山 佳作に選んでくれた漫画雑誌の、編集者が「僕は君の絵は好きなんだけど、今のうち雑誌では絵柄を変えろといわれるだろうから、よそへ行ったほうがいいよ」とアドバイスしてくれて。だったらあだち充さんが好きだし、全体的に絵がかわいいし、サンデーに持っていこうかなと思ったんです。そうしたら、わりとすぐにいけると言われて、その後はけっこうスムーズに。ただ、先輩の漫画家から「編集部に何度も足を運んで編集者に名前を覚えてもらわなきゃいけないよ」といわれたので、できるだけ編集部に通いました。「ちょっとまってて」で新人賞をいただいたんですが、その時点で僕の場合は編集者が付いていたんです。でも自分と同じような新人は何人もいる、その中で顔を覚えてもらうためには頻繁にネーム(下絵原稿)を持って行こうと。そこは意図的に考えてやっていました。半年ぐらいは、かなりしつこく「ネームを直してきました」と通いましたね。ほとんど毎日のように。ほかにやることもなかったし、早く連載待ちたいなと思っていましたね。<br>
 
A: At the manga magazine where I was kindly given the kasaku, the editor kindly advised me, "I personally like your art, but you'll probably be told to change your style sometime soon, so it'll be better for you if you went elsewhere." If so, I like Mitsuru Adachi, and the picture is cute overall, so I thought about moving to Sunday. Then, I was told that I could go sooner than I'd thought, and things went smoothly after that.But then, a senior manga artist told me, "You should visit the editorial department many times until they memorize your name," so I visited the editorial department whenever I could. When I received the Newcomer Award with Wait a Minute, I already had an editor, in my case. There are many newcomers just like you, so to stand out you must bring in the name (roughly sketched manuscript) often. I did that intentionally. For about half a year, I visited quite insistently, saying "I fixed the name again!" Almost everyday. It's not like I had anything else to do, and I wanted to serialize as soon as possible.<br>
 
<br>
 
「マジック快斗」の連載はそんな中で決まったんですね。サンデーの増刊で。<br>
 
Q: Magic Kaito's serialization started in that evironment, didn't it? In Sunday's Special Edition?<br>
 
<br>
 
青山 そうです。単発で少しずつ描かせてもらったりしていましたけど、基本的にはその間、無職ですよね。漫画家として食べていけるようになったわけじゃないですから。学生時代にバイトで貯めたお金と、新人賞の賞金を食いつぶしていました。でも、こうして話すと苦労の時代と思われるかもしれませんが、実はえらい楽しい日々だったんですよ(笑)。漫画は好きな事だから、結局、自分の好きなことやってるだけなんですね。新人の頃は時間もたくさんあったから、好きなゲームもできましたし。ドラクエをやりながら漫画を描いていた頃の話で、編集者と待ち合わせの約束があったんです。で、江古田の駅前の喫茶店にいるからって電話かかってきたときに、僕は寝ぼけて「あ、あのー、ゴールドがないからいけないよー」って(笑)。そのままガシャンって切って、その30分後にまたかかってきたときに、そういえばさっき俺、なんかへんなこと言ってたなーとぼんやり(笑)。そのときの編集者もいい人だったんです。だからいろんな面で楽しかった。今はもうゲームをやる時間もありませんしね。<br>A: Yes. I was allowed to draw from time to time, but you're basically jobless during that time, aren't you? You can't eat as a manga artist, yet. I was eating with the money I saved through part-time jobs as a student, and with the prize money from the Newcomer Award. Although, you might think that this was a difficult time period the way I talk, but those days were actually really fun for me (laughs). In the end, I was doing what I liked, since I like manga. I also had a lot of time when I was a newcomer, so I could play my favorite games. Back when I used to draw manga while playing Dragon Quest, I had a promise to meet with the editor. Then, when the editor called since he was at a cafe near Egoda's train station, I replied, half asleep, "Uuuum, I can't gooo, since I don't have the gold yeeet" (laughs). Then I hanged up, and when I got a call again after thirty minutes, I vaguely thought, "I said something weird, didn't I?" (laughs).The editor back then was a good person, too. Things were fun back then, in many aspects. Now, I don't quite have the time to play games as I used to.<br>
 
<br>
 
漫画家としてやっていける、食べていく事ができると実感したのは「マジック快斗」でですか?<br>
 
Q: Did you realize that you could continue as a manga artist, that you could eat as one with Magic Kaito?<br>
 
<br>
 
青山 そうですね。当時の編集長が「マジック快斗」をあまり評価してくれなくて、「これが単行本になって10万部売れたらおごってやる」って言われていたんです。だけどあっという間に越えちゃって、その時単行本が売れるって儲かるんだなと思いました。そのあと「YAIBA」の連載が本誌で始まったんですが、週間だから単行本が出るのも速いでしょう。それでずいぶん楽になりました。生活もですが、精神的にもですね。忙しくなって遊ぶ時間はなくなっちゃいましたけど。コナンは「YAIBA」が終わってから、編集者と次はどうしようという打ち合わせの中で決まりました。当時、「少年マガジン」で金田一君(「金田一少年の事件簿」)が始まっていたんですが、探偵モノは好きだし、面白そうだから自分もやってみたいなと思いました。最初は「探偵物語」みたいな、ちょっとハードボイルドっぽいコメディというのを考えていたんですよ。でもコナンはわりと少年漫画の王道なんですよね。小さくなって、悪い奴らに脅かされてという。プロットは2週間ぐらいでできあがったんだけど、そんなに神経質に考えたわけでもないんです。コナンが小1に戻っちゃうというのも、新一は17才だから、ちょうど10才戻ればわかりやすいだろうと思ったんです。小1にしたことにどんな意味があるんですか、と聞かれる事があるけど、意味はただそれだけ(笑)。あと、小1だと完全に子供だから、その年齢の子が何をやっても笑って許してもらえるだろう、みたいなことはちょっとありましたけど。<br>
 
A: Yes, I think so. The editor-in-chief back then didn't like Magic Kaito very much, and he said, "I'll treat you something if this gets sold as volumes and sells 100,000 copies." Then the number was passed in the blink of time - I thought, it's profitable to sell volumes, isn't it? After that, YAIBA started at the magazine, and since the magazine is weekly, volumes came out quickly, too. Things became much easier after that, not only in terms of livelihood but psychologically, too. I did become busy and lost time to have some fun, though. Conan was decided when I met up with the editor to discuss what to do next after YAIBA ended. At the time, Kindaichi (from Kindaichi Case Files) started at Shonen Magazine, and since I like mysteries and it seemed interesting, I wanted to have a go at it. At first, I/we thought about a hardboiled-esque comedy with a title like "Tale of a Detective" or something similar. But Conan is the royal road to shonen manga, isn't it? Becoming small, and then getting threatened by bad guys. The plot was finished in about two weeks, but it's not something I/we thought neurotically about. Conan turned back to a first grader, since Shinichi is 17, so I thought that turning back exactly ten years would be easy to understand. I get asked if why I chose first grade, but that's pretty much all the reason (laughs). Although, there also was a bit of an aspect that, since first graders are completely children, someone that age will be laughed at and then forgiven for doing anything.<br>
 
<br>
 
プロットと一緒に、キャラクターの絵も決めていくのですか?<br>
 
Q: Did you decide the characters' appearances along with the plot?<br>
 
<br>
 
青山 ほとんど同時に。絵については1分もかかってないかな。<br>
 
A: Almost at the same time. I don't think that the pictures took more than a minute.<br>
 
<br>
 
コナンのめがねというアイデアもそのときに?<br>
 
Q: The idea for Conan's glasses was decided at the time, too?<br>
 
<br>
 
青山 スーパーマンが好きなので。彼はクラーク・ケントのときにはメガネをかけていたでしょう。それが頭にありました。新一のときはメガネしていないけど、コナンになるとメガネ。メガネで思い出しましたけど、掟破りの漫画を作りたいなと考えていたんですよね。少年誌の主人公でメガネって、アラレちゃんぐらいでしょう。のび太は厳密にいえば主人公じゃないし。あとはネーム(文字)の多さですね。ネームの多い漫画は少年誌ではウケない、というのが定説だったんです。それからもう一個何かあったんだけど、何だっけな。コナンっていう名前についてだったかな。「未来少年コナン」と同じだからということで、編集長はいい顔をしませんでした。ドイル君にしろと言われたような(笑)。でも担当編集者とは掟破りをやろうと盛り上がっていましたよ。<br>
 
A: I like Superman, you see. Superman wore glasses as Clark Kent, right? That was what was in my head at the time. No glasses when he's Shinichi, but glasses once he turns into Conan. I just remembered, I wanted to make a rule-breaking manga. In shonen, Arare-chan is about the only one who is a protagonist and who also has glasses. Strictly speaking, Nobita-kun isn't a protagonist. Also, names (characters/letters). In shonen, there was a rule that manga with a lot of names in it don't become popular. There was another rule I tried to break – hmm, what was it? Was it about the name, Conan? Since it was the same as Future Boy Conan, the editor-in-chief didn't make a very good face. I think I was told to change the name to Doyle-kun (laughs). My editor was excited about breaking the rules, though.<br>
 
<br>
 
それと、さっきおっしゃった少年漫画の王道の部分と。ラブコメの要素もあるけど、幼なじみでっていうのはわりと王道ですよね。<br>
 
Q: Going back to what you have just said about shonen manga's royal path – your work also has an element of love comedy; childhood friends are also royal-path material, aren't they?<br>
 
<br>
 
青山 そうですね。幼なじみはまあ、僕の趣味といわれればそうだけど(笑)、ラクなんですよ設定が。幼なじみで昔から知っているというのはストーリーが展開しやすいんです。ラブコメではやっぱりあだち充さんの「タッチ」とか好きでしたから。テレビドラマだと「男女七人夏物語」。今の若い読者の子はこのドラマを知らない人も多いでしょうけど、ラブコメの最高傑作だと僕は思っているんですよ。ああいう雰囲気を出したかった。ただ、ラブはあるんだけれども、新一と服部に関していうと女好きではないんですね、どっちも。普通の高校生の男の子とはちょっと違う。探偵ってやっぱりホームズにしても横溝正史の金田一にしても、かなり変わったところがあるんですよ。そこが探偵という人種の魅力でもあるんです。<br>
 
A: That's true. You could say that it's my preference to use childhood friends, though (laughs). The setup becomes really easy. It's easy to develop the story when the characters are childhood friends who have known each other for a long time. I liked Mitsuru Adachi-san's Touch, after all. As for dramas, I like The Tale of Seven Men and Women*. Though most young readers now probably don't know about this drama, I think that this is the masterpiece of love comedy. I wanted to bring out such an atmosphere in my work. Although, despite the presence of love, neither Shinichi nor Hattori chases after women, do they? They're a little different from a normal high school boy. In the end, detectives are fairly different, whether you're talking about Holmes or Seishi Yokomizo's Kindaichi. That's the appeal of detective-type people, though. *There's a Japanese Wikipedia page for it, but that's about it. Apparently it ran from July 25 to September 26, 1986 on TBS, and was so popular that its ratings exceeded 31% at one time.<br>
 
<br>
 
ネームがボツになった、というようなことはありますか?<br>
 
Q: Have your names ever been disgarded before?<br>
 
<br>
 
青山 イラストレーターの女の人が愛人の画家に殺される回(FILE. 125「落ちる死体」~)で、「俺はおまえにお金をやる。だからおまえはオレを満足させる。それで50・50でいいじゃないか」と書いたら、これはちょっとまずいですって。サンデーでは確かに生々しいかなと思いました(笑)。結局、「仕事をやるから家庭に口出しするな」というような、あっさりしたものにしたんです。そのぐらいですね。<br>
 
A: In the case where the female illustrator gets killed by her lover, who is an artist (File 125~ "Falling Corpse"), I wrote, "I give you money. You give me satisfaction. That sounds like a fair deal to me," and they told me that this was not good. I do agree that it was too raw for Sunday (laughs). In the end, I changed it to something light like "I'll do my job so don't meddle with the family." That's about it.<br>
 
<br>
 
取材はどうしているんですか?警察関係とか、犯罪の知識とか、すごくデータ部分がしっかりしていて、驚くことも多いんですが。<br>
 
Q: What about collecting data? I'm often surprised about how firm the factual areas on police relations, crime knowledge, and such are.<br>
 
<br>
 
青山 編集者の友達に鑑識や銀行の人がいたり、アシスタントの親せきが元刑事だったりするので、聞いてもらって。たとえば貸し金庫を夜中にあけるとしたら何が必要か?とか。警察用語でも出していいものは作品で使わせてもらうし、「これはちょっと秘密だから出さないで」というものも当然ありますし。クルマ関係は一つ年下の弟に聞いています。エンジニアなんです。トリックで、氷を前輪に挟んで動かないようにして、とけたらどうなるのか、多分水はクーラーかけっぱなしだったらラジエーターの水が落ちる、で、どっからどう落ちるの?と聞いたり(巻末最新416話リスト、302頁を参照)。薬者関係はもう一人の弟が医者だから・・・・・・。アポトキシンの設定などは二人で考えました。若返る・・・・・・骨が元に戻るっていうのはあり得ないんで、それはフィクションだとしても、細胞が若返るというのはありうるな、とか。この弟はアニメについても詳しいので、声優さんを決めるときにアドバイスもくれました。あと、服部と和葉の大阪弁は、関西出身の編集者が細かく見てくれます。取材といえば、寝台特急「北斗星」を編集者と二人で取材に行ったことがあります。夕方近くに待ち合わせしていて、今回の事件の舞台は「北斗星」で行こうと突然決まって。その時偶然、翌朝のチケットが取れたんですよ。でも北海道までは行かず、宇都宮で降りてきちゃったんで、ちょっともったいなかったですけどね。車掌さんに驚かれましたよ。「途中で降りちゃうんですか」って。<br>
 
A: The editor has friends who does CSI or are working at a bank, and the assistants' relatives turn out to be former police detectives, so I ask them. For example, what do you need if you want to open a safe at night? I get to use some police terminology, too, though of course there are secret ones that I can't use. On car-related subjects, I ask my brother, who is one year younger than me. He's an engineer. I ask him things like, if you insert ice between the front wheels and the ice melts, what will happen? The radiator's water will probably drip if the cooler was kept open – then, where would the water drip from? Things like that. (File 221) On medicine-related subjects, I have another younger brother, who is a doctor. He and I came up with the APTX. To be rejuvenated . . . you can't get your bones back to the way it was, so that aspect is fictional, but maybe it's possible to rejuvenate cells, and such. This younger brother is also knowlegeable about anime, so he advised me on who to pick for voice actors. Also, on Hattori and Kazuha's Kansai dialect, the editor, who is from Kansai, looks over them carefully for me. On site research, I've rode the sleeping car train Hokutosei with the editor before. We had a meeting around dusk once, and suddenly decided to make this case center on Hokutosei. By chance, I/we managed to obtain the ticket(s) for next morning. Unfortunately, we didn't go up to Hokkaido and got off at Utsunomiya, so it was a bit of a waste. The train conductor surprised me. I said, "I have to get off in the middle?"<br>
 
<br>
 
コナンでストーリー上、いちばん苦労する事は何ですか?<br>
 
Q: What do you struggle with the most in Conan's story?<br>
 
<br>
 
青山 動機ですね、犯人の。トリックを考えるのが大変だと思われますけど、僕としては動機の方にいつも苦労しています。怨恨が多いんだけど、いつもじゃ面白くないし。かといって無差別殺人みたいなのはイヤですし。たとえば暑かったから、ムシャクシャしたから人を殺したとか、そういうのは後味が悪いでしょ。それはやりたくないんです。犯人も死なせません。月影島の話だけですね、最後に犯人が自殺して終わるのは。<br>
 
A: The culprit's motives. People often think that coming up with tricks is troublesome, but for me, I always struggle with the motives. Grudges pop up a lot, but if it happens too often, then it's not interesting anymore. But then, I don't like indiscriminate murder, either. For example, someone kills people because it was hot outside – that leaves a bad taste, doesn't it? I don't want to do things like that. I also don't let the culprit die. The culprit commits suicide in the end only in the Tsukikage (Moon Shadow) Island story, right?<br>
 
<br>
 
キャラクターについても「これだけはやらない」と決めていることはありますか?<br>
 
Q: On the characters, is there something you decided the characters won't do?<br>
 
<br>
 
青山 コナンは泣かない、ということぐらいですね。あくびして目に涙がたまるのはいいけど、号泣しない、感情移入して泣いたりしない。これは最初に決めたことです。ほかにもいろいろあるけどあんまり言わない方がいいですよね。読者のみんなに捜してもらうほうが楽しいでしょう。<br>
 
A: Conan doesn't cry, but that's about it. He might have tears in his eyes from yawning, but he won't wail, he won't cry from empathy. I decided this at the beginning. There are other things I decided, but it's better not to say them, isn't it? It'll be more fun for the readers to search for themselves.<br>
 
<br>
 
ストーリーは、編集者との話し合いで決まるんですか?<br>
 
Q: Do you decide the story with the editor?<br>
 
<br>
 
青山 はい、編集者と最初に話しながら決めていきます。これは前の話が終わったら仮眠をとって、すぐその日のうちにやります。フリートークのような感じで、トリックから話の流れから結末まで、一気に編集と一話分、つまりおよそ3~4週分を決めてしまうんです。だから大まかなスケジュールは、一つの話が終わって仮眠、その日のうちに立ち合わせ、そこから3日間でネームを上げて、またそこで打ち合わせ、それから4日間でペン入れ、仕上げという感じです。これで一週間。<br>
 
A: Yes, I first discuss with the editor and decide. When the previous case ends, I take a nap, then I discuss within that day. With a free-talk-like style, we discuss from the trick, the flow of the story, to the conclusion, and we decide one case at once – in another words, we decide what will happen for the next 3~4 weeks. So the overall schedule goes like this: one case ends, I take a nap, I meet with the editor within that day, then I finish the name (pre-manuscript) in three days, then I meet up with the editor again, and then I ink it, then I add the finishing touches in the next four days. This is my week.<br>
 
<br>
 
休めないですね、全然。その間にもいろいろあるでしょうし。<br>
 
Q: You can't rest at all, can you? You must have other things to do within that period, too.<br>
 
<br>
 
青山 ええ、休めないです。原稿を完成して寝てるときぐらいしか休みはないですね。休載のときは旅行なんかもしますが、それでもコナンのことを考えていて完全に休みにはならない。息抜きは野球を見てるときぐらいですね。<br>
 
A: No, I can't rest. I rest only about the time when I sleep after finishing the manuscript. I might travel when Conan doesn't print, but even then I think about Conan so it's not truly a rest at all. I relax only about when I watch baseball.<br>
 
<br>
 
コナンはこの先、どう展開していくのか誰もが興味のあるところですが。<br>
 
Q: Everyone is curious about how Conan will develop in the future.<br>
 
<br>
 
青山 いや、それもいっぱい言わないのが楽しいでしょう(笑)。読者があっと驚くような展開を考えていますけど、今はまだ言えないことのほうが多いですね。<br>
 
A: It's probably more fun to not say much about that (laughs). I am thinking about a development that will surprise the readers, but for now there are more things that I can't say.<br>
 
<br>
 
仮に先生が数週間の休みを取ったとしても、誰もコナンを忘れる事はないし、人気が下がる事もない(編集部は困るが)。そういうところまで上がりつめたのに、先生はなおハードなスケジュールの中でコナンを書き続ける。そのエネルギーはどこから湧いてくるのか、不思議な気分になった。もう一つ、先生からは「仕事」という言葉が出てこないのだ。漫画を書くことはまぎれもなく先生にとって仕事なのだが、いわゆる「労働」というという意識とはまったく違うものだろうと思う。<br>
 
Even if sensei does take a few weeks of vacation, no one forgets about Conan, and the popularity doesn't go down, either (though this will trouble the editorial department). Even though sensei climbed up to that point, he continues writing Conan amid an even more difficult schedule. I wonder about where such an energy come from. One more thing, sensei never said the word "job". Though writing manga is undoubedly a job for sensei, it seems to be completely different from the what is called "labor".<br>
 
<br>
 
漫画家にとって大事なことって何なんでしょう?たとえば漫画家を目指す人たちにアドバイスするとしたら。<br>
 
Q: What is important for a manga artist? What would you advise people who want to become manga artists, for example?<br>
 
<br>
 
青山 なんだろう・・・・・・。僕はあんまり自分で「ああ、俺は漫画家なんだな」と強く意識するような瞬間ってないんだけども。まあ基本的には好きっていうのがありますよね。好きじゃなきゃやっていけない。あとは、好奇心を持つこと。ありきたりですけど、これぐらいしか思いつかないですよね。好奇心っていうのは、たとえばすっごくつまらない映画を見て「つまんねー!」って終わるんじゃなくて、俺ならここはこうするのに、とか、こうすればどんどん面白くなるのにと考えていくようなことかな。面白い映画はそのままでいいんだけど、つまらない映画を見たときにそこで何を考えるのか。だから案外、つまらない映画のほうが結果的には自分にはよかったりします(笑)。それから、世の中のことで自分が知らないことはたくさんあるでしょう。アニメに関しての話なんだけど、視聴率で「F1, F2」という専門用語を聞いたとき、あ、これで何かできないかなと考えちゃったりしましたね*。新しいことを見たり聞いたりしたときに、何かできるんじゃないかと考えるのは大事なことです。<br>
 
A: I wonder . . . I never had a moment where I had a strong sense that I am a manga artist.You might say that, at the core, you have to like it. You can't continue if you don't like it. Also, you must have a sense of inquisitiveness. These might be common, but that's all that I can think of. On inquisitiveness, say you see a boring movie. Don't say "Boooring!" and be done with it, for me I would think about how this part should be like this, how if this is done then it will be come more and more interesting – things like that. Interesting movies are fine the way they are, but what are you doing to think when you see a boring one? That's why boring movies are surprisingly better for me results-wise (laughs). Also, there are a lot of things that you don't know about in this world, right? In a story related to anime, when I heard of the terminologies "F1, F2" for ratings, I end up thinking if I could make something out of them or not.* It's important to think about what you can do with things you've never heard of before.<br>
 
<br>
 
*テレビの視聴者の年齢増をあらわす記号。F1は20~34才の女性、F2は35~49才の女性である。その他は次の通り。<br>
 
F3=女50才以上、M1=男20~34才、M2=男35~49才、M3=男50才以上、C1=男女4~12才、C2=男女13~19才。<br>
 
*Symbols representing TV viewers' age groups. F1 = female, 20~34; F2 = female, 35~49; others are as follows:<br>
 
F3 = females 50 and above; M1 = male, 20~34; M2 = male, 35~49; M3 = males 50 and above; C1 = children, 4~12; C2 = children, 13~19.<br>
 
<br>
 
頭が常に創作の方を向いているんですね。創作脳というか。<br>
 
Q: Your head constantly turns toward creative work, doesn't it? Creative brain, perhaps.<br>
 
<br>
 
青山 そうですね。だからやっぱり好きじゃないとだめでしょ。普通は旅行に行ったらなんにも考えずのんびりするんだけど、僕もそうしようとは思うんですが、つい普段の癖で何かネタになりそうなことはないかなと。基本的にマジメってこともあるんです(笑)。ただしあんまり根を詰めるとダメなんですけども。<br>
 
A: That's true. That's why you have to like it, in the end. You're usually carefree without any thoughts if you travel, and I try to do that, too, but I end up thinking about if I can find material to work with out of habit. At the core, there's an aspect of diligence (laughs). You shouldn't strain your nerves too much, though.<br>
 
<br>
 
腱鞘炎は大丈夫ですか?漫画家は腱鞘炎との戦いだ、といわれますが。<br>
 
Q: Are you all right from tendonitis? They say that being a manga artist means a fight against tendonitis.<br>
 
<br>
 
青山 一回なりかけて、ヤバイなというときがありました。元々、筆圧が強いので腱鞘炎にはなりやすいタイプなんです。それからは描き方を変えましたね。細マジックで、何度も線をなぞって太くしていくんですよ。ピグマの0.1ミリというペンがあるんですが、それでサッサッと。そうすると腕に力を入れなくてもすむんです。絵は背景と重要じゃない登場人物以外は、自分で描いています。クルマを含めた背景、それに人物で言うと鑑識とか名前のない警察はアシスタントに任せて、名前のある人物については僕がやるという分け方です。<br>
 
A: There was one time when I almost got it. I always had strong pressure on the pen, so I'm the type who easily gets tendonitis. I've changed my drawing style since then. I use a thin marker and trace over the same line many times to make it thicker. I use the PIGMA 0.1mm pen. That way, I don't have to put much pressure on the arms. Except for background and unimportant characters, I draw everything. Meaning, I leave things like backgrounds with cars, CSI's and police people without names to assistants, then draw the characters who have names myself.<br>
 
<br>
 
絵に関して、影響を受けた漫画家さんというと誰でしょう?<br>
 
Q: On the art, which manga artist did you receive influence from?<br>
 
<br>
 
青山 「ルパン三世」のモンキー・パンチさんですね。コナンがお酒を飲んで元の身体に戻るときがあるでしょう?あの「白乾児(パイカル)」というお酒は、「ルパン三世」に出てくるすごくかっこいい魔術師の名前なんです。あとはあだち充さん、意外なところでは少女漫画家の松苗あけみさんかな。それから大友克洋さんは世代的に、僕らの年齢だとみんな多かれ少なかれ影響を受けているんじゃないかな。<br>
 
A: Monkey Punch, of Lupin III. There's a time when Conan drinks some alcohol and reverts back to his former body, right? The alcohol called Paikaru comes from the name of a magician that appears in Lupin III. I would also say Mitsuru Adachi-san, and surprisingly a shojo manga artist named Akemi Matsunae-san, I think. And people my age all received influence to some degree from Katsuhiro Otomo-san, I think. (Ha ha, I wonder if Miyano Akemi's name comes from Matsunae Akemi's . . . it sounds like it does, doesn't it?)<br>
 
<br>
 
先生は独身ですが、結婚したら今の生活は続けられないですね。<br>
 
Q: Sensei is single, but if you marry you can't continue living like this, can you?<br>
 
<br>
 
青山 無理でしょう。生活が変わっちゃったら、今のペースは維待できない。最初にコナンを立ち上げたときも、「これは大変だよな」と思いました。で、実際やってみたら本当にあまりに大変なんで、もう上の人からどうこう言われるんならやらない。勝手にやらせてくれなきゃいやだと言ったぐらいです。そうやって、生活も作品も好き勝手にやっているから続けていけるんでしょうね。コナンをドイルにしろとか、服部を純然たるライバルにしろとか、そういうことは言われてきたけど、それは僕が考えてることと違うので。そこは作家として主張してきました。だからずいぶん好きなようにやっています。好きなことを、好きなように・・・・・・心身ともに大変ではあるんですが、結局はそこに尽きると思っています。それで、そうやって生きていける自分はやっぱり幸せなんですよね。アイデアが枯れてもう何も出なくなるまで、もしくは読者から「おまえはもういらない」と言われるまで、漫画家としてずっとやれたらいいと思っています。口では「あー、もうやめてえ~!」と言うことはあってもね。<br>
 
A: No, I can't. If my lifestyle changes, I can't continue the current pace anymore.* When I started Conan, I thought that this would be a lot of work. When I actually started, it was truly so much work that I don't do what my superiors say. I even said that I won't do anything unless they let me do whatever I want to do. This way, I can continue because I'm doing whatever I want in life and in my work. I was told to change the name from Conan to Doyle, to make Hattori into an absolute rival, things like that, but that's different from what I'm thinking. In that aspect, I insisted on my way as the artist. So I've been doing whatever I want. You should do what you like, as you like . . . This may be quite troublesome to both mind and body, but in the end I think that I want to be consumed there. Therefore, I'm happy, after all, because I'm living this way. I think I want to continue being a manga artist until ideas run dry, or readers tell me that they don't need me anymore. Though I might say "Aaaah, stooop!" from time to time. *There seems to be a typo here - I can't find the meaning of 維待anywhere – so I guessed at what it meant.<br>

File 762 ???<br>

<br>

<br>
 
Q: Does Gosho Aoyama want to continue Kaito Kid?<br>

A: She already has a boyfriend and they are going to stay together.<br>
 
<br>

<br>
+
File 813 4-14-2012 Kumogakure Saizou, oops… ♥ The correct (name) is Kirigakure Saizou! This is a typo (laughs)<br>
When/how/did the boss of the Black Organization appear?
+
File 814 4-21-2012 Datsue-ba (is) scary!!<br>
Sources 1,6,7, report Gosho said the boss has appeared in some form a "long time ago", but Gosho may have implied the boss could have appeared "recently". Contrast with Source 5 who does not report the part of the answer that the boss has appeared recently.
+
File 815 4-27-2012 Oh my, a fang grew♥<br>
Q: Has the boss appeared?
+

A: He has. Long ago, recently, I wonder when?/I wonder if he appeared long ago or recently (laughs))
+
File 817 5-19-2012 The Detective Agency's security is lax, isn't it…<br>
The different sources extracted different meanings from this statement. One of the sources (which one?) thought Gosho was taunting, so the phrase may be misunderstood. Source 5 notes Gosho was being vague about what form the boss appeared in. (Current manga chapter is 883)
+

+
File 823 7-01-2012 Why don't those of you who are not busy try painting the missing part on page 2?<br>
The two people who followed Yukiko and the Detective Boys and took pictures of Haibara in the prescreening case in the Vermouth arc (episode 335-336) were subordinates of Akai's. Gosho said you can ignore them. (Source 1,2,6,7)

+
File 825 7-21-2012 I wonder if there's a tennis club and such in the organization…<br>
Gosho declined to answer if Amuro's name is an alias. Amuro does have a childhood nickname that will appear. (Source 1,2,5,6,7)
+
File 826 7-27-2012 The culprit… isn'it it Kudō-kun!?<br>
Amuro's dark skin color has a meaning (Source 2,5,6,7) Gosho declined to say whether Amuro's hair and skin color is natural,(Source 1,5,6) but mentioned his current hair color is supposed to be brown, not white. (Source 6)
+
File 827 8-03-2012 But, I am alive…<br>
Amuro’s "profile" is a secret. (Source 6,7)
+
File 828 8-11-2012 Cute turtle♥<br>
Gosho gave a non-answer about Amuro's weaknesses: "I also haven’t decided on any weaknesses or dislikes. I mean, you wouldn’t like it if I said that he dislikes nattō, right? (laughs)” (Source 2,5,6,7)
+
File 829 8-25-2012 I’m worried about the turtle…<br>
 
+
File 830 9-02-2012 I’m glad the turtle is fine!<br>
Gin's weakness is Akai (Source 1,2,4,6)
+
File 831 ?????????<br>
Gin is the type who doesn't have favorite or disliked foods. (Sources 5,6,7) (Q: What are Gin’s weaknesses/dislikes? A: I think he doesn’t have any likes/dislikes. I think he can relatively eat whatever.) (Source 6)
+
File 832 9-17-2012 “Lovely Mystery” seems interesting…<br>

File 833 9-23-2012 I wonder what color Kazuha-chan’s panties are?<br>

+
File 836 10-20-2012 Ran-chan sure is ecological...<br>
Movie 18 will have some sort of appearance by Akai. (Source 1,2,6,7 More info given in sources 6 and 7)

File 837 10-26-2012 Ran-chan, behind, behind!<br>
Gōshō: This year’s movie is Akai.
+
File 838 11-09-2012 Don’t be fooled! Hikaru-san is definitely a vampire!!<br>
Q: Does he have a central part?
+
File 839 11-18-2012 Aren’t these two eating too much gyōza?<br>
A: I don’t know how much of a part “central” is, but I think it will make you go “Oh!” “It’s happening before the manga”-kind of like.
+
File 840 11-23-2012 As I thought…<br>
I also drew Akai’s key frames.
+
File 841 12-08-2012 Isn’t there too much fan-service?<br>
Akai Shuuichi's story in the manga will be dealt with AFTER the movie, not before. (Source 2)
+
File 842 12-16-2012 If you’re Amuro then use your perception more!(Since he is a Newtype…)<br>
“It’s gonna happen in the movie before the manga…” (Source 7) [The subject of "it" is unclear. It might refer to Akai's appearance.]
+
File ??? 12-24-2012 Countless white angels falling from the pitch black night sky, melting on the warmth of the palm of the hand… Don’t worry, the hot feeling is only at the start… From the grey Santa who wants to become snow…<br>
Gosho cannot say more about the topic because it would make the director mad.  (Source 1,6,7+others)
+
File 843 12-29-2012 Tsuburaya-kun’s compensation…<br>
 
 
Gosho declined to answer about future overseas cases. (Source 1,6)
 
When the possibility of having a case in America related to Sera was asked about in the same question, Gosho regarded the question as a dangerous and declined to go there. (Source 1,2,6,7)
 
Q: There have been cases abroad so far, but will the story of when Sera lived in America appear?
 
A: Oh! You just asked something dangerous. Was that on purpose? (laughs)
 
 
 
Sera was the hardest character story to design (Source 1,5,6,7) of the recent new characters (Sera, Amuro, Naeko, Haneda mentioned by question). The Akai siblings have three different last names (Source 1,2,7) which makes it complex (Source 6). Sera's appearance was also difficult to design. (Source 6) Gosho designed her as a tomboy (Source 1,6) because he likes her that way (Source 1), and she has to standout/be different from Ran and Haibara.
 
 
Why does the Black Organization wear black? (Source 1) Question not answered by source.<br>
 
<br>
 
'''The police'''<br>
 
<br>
 
Yumi and Sato have been good friends since high school. (Source 1,2,6,7) But Gosho has no plans of making them classmates. (Source 6,7)
 
 
 
There will be a major case/incident involving Naeko Miike. (Source 1,2,6,7)
 
Q: What about Naeko’s and Chiba’s love comedy?
 
A: These two will appear in a BIG case.
 
Q: Will Chiba notice Naeko soon enough?
 
A: He really doesn’t notice huh? I also think “Is this guy stupid?!” (laughs)
 
 
What is Chiba’s first name? (Source 1) Question not answered by source
 
"It seems like Isshin Chiba (Chiba’s voice actor) really likes Naeko. I was told at the year-end party." (Source 6,7)
 
 
A spinoff for Matsuda and Hagiwara not planned (Source 1,2,6) The editors like them though (Source 1,6).  "(Since Matsuda was enrolled in the Division 1 for only 7 days) the editing department told me “Please write a story called ‘The seven days of Matsuda’ or something like that”, but I have no plans of doing so. Matsuda and Hagiwara are just that story. (tn: as in, “the story so far” I guess)"
 
 
Why did Takagi become a policeman? (Source 1) - Question not answered by source
 
 
Haneda Shuukichi will make another appearance (Source 2,6,7) and it will be at a murder during a Shogi tournament (Source 6,7)<br>
 
<br>
 
'''Teenage Protagonists'''<br>
 
<br>
 
Someone asked about relative bust sizes. Gosho said Kazuha's breasts are smaller than Ran's. (Source 1,2,4,6,7) Sato's are bigger than Yumi's (Source 1,6), but Sato's don't look so big because she is quite muscular (Source 6), but Shiho is flat right now [because she is a child]. (Source 6). Gosho considers Ran as one of the biggest in terms of bust size. (Source 7)
 
 
 
Gosho wanted to have a karate case where Ran's opponent died but then decided not to. "I’ve thought of writing a story about one of Ran’s karate opponents dying in the middle of a match, but afterall that would be pretty bad so I stopped." (Source 1,6,7)
 
 
 
The correct color for Ai Haibara's hair is reddish brown, not the golden color it is in the movies. (Sources 1,6,7)
 
 
 
Heiji''s line "my Kazuha" was pretty much a confession. (Source 6,7)
 
Hattori's birthday is not decided (Source 1,2,6,7)
 
Kazuha birthday is not decided (Source 6,7)<br>
 
<br>
 
'''Other''' <br>
 
<br>
 
The Ai and Fujiko bath scene in the Lupin vs Conan crossover movie left an impression on Gosho (Source 1,6, not answered in source 1)
 
 
Gosho's sleep schedule: "When I was young I used to sleep for about 3 hours, but now I sleep 3 hours at night and then take an afternoon nap of about 30–60 minutes." (Source 6,7)
 
 
 
Gosho draws the culprit first (Source 1,6,7) "When drawing a story, I start from the criminal. Then, if for example the criminal is (tn: a particular way I don’t understand), I draw the other characters not that way." Gosho goes back and forth with editors when trying to decide criminal motive. (Source 2,6,7)
 
 
 
There was something about making Tottori airport into a Conan themed airport and Conan on the side of a plane. (Source 6,7)
 
 
(Within Conan?) What kind of sports do you want to write? (Source 1) Question not answered by source
 
 
Gosho's favorite outfit for Conan is the Jacket with the K. (Source 1)

A: Ooh… I can’t answer that! (laughs)
 
Q: Thank you very much.
 
A: That was dangerous. lol
 
- This year’s movie is Akai.
 
Does he have a central part?
 
A: I don’t know how much of a part “central” is, but I think it will make you go “Oh!” “It’s happening before the manga”-kind of like.
 
I also draw Akai’s key frames.
 
- Q: “My Kazuha” is a confession?
 
A: That’s pretty much a confession.
 
Various translators and personal guess:
 
- The 2 guys with hats and sunglasses appearing during the Toto developing plans case were just FBI subordinates of Akai. You may ignore them.
 
- Has the Boss's face appeared? I can't say.
 
- The progress of the APTX4869 antidote? I can't say.
 
- What happened to the burned disc from the Haido City Hotel? I can’t say.
 
- What's the reason for Takagi becoming a police officer? I haven't decided yet.
 
- Breast size: Ran>Kazuha; Sato>Yumi; Ai-chan is completely flat. Not when she was Shiho though.
 
- Keep in mind the recording Conan made of Heiji's words (probably referring to the drug dealer case)
 
- Haibara's hair color is different in the anime and movie. Which one is the right one? Haibara's hair is reddish brown.
 
- There was something about making Tottori airport into a Conan themed airport and Conan on the side of a plane. (DCW)
 
- Gosho's favorite outfit for Conan is the Jacket with the K (DCW)

Summary by Black Demon
 +
 +
About the character designs and the movie posters
 +
 +
1. A girl asked whether the "horn" on Ran's head is a bone. Gosho laughed and said that it's not a bone, it's just the hair style. He also emphasized that Ran wouldn't be Ran if she didn't have the "horn" on her head. And Conan wouldn't be Conan if he didn't have the hair strands that gone straightened up at the back of his head.
 +
 +
2. About the origin of Shinichi's birthday (May 4), Gosho said that it's the day that Holmes and Prof. Moriarty died at Reichenbach Fall, which would make it look like Shinichi is the reincarnation of Holmes, however, Holmes never actually died...
 +
 +
3. Gosho said that when he designs the characters and draws the manga, the principle that he sticks to is: Boys must look handsome and girls must look cute (男の子はカツコよく、 女の子は可愛く). He always reminds himself to think and draw seriously.
 +
 +
4. Gosho draws the movie posters, but the texts on the side are not written by him.
 +
 +
About the creation and experience as a mangaka
 +
 +
Nothing important in this part really, I'm too lazy to translate right now =.=
 +
 +
About ShinRan
 +
 +
I (the poster) helped a friend ask this: Shinichi has already confessed to Ran back in London. What will their development in the future be, will they have a kissing scene like Takagi and Sato ?
 +
 +
Gosho answered that there'll definitely be a development, he wasn't sure how much he should spoil, but he said that we can expect the "kiss" thing, there will be that part.
 +
 +
About Kaitou Kid and Magic Kaito
 +
 +
1. Basically Gosho said that there is a reason behind Kid and Shinichi's resemblance and he purposely made it like that. That reason may be brought up in the future if he has the chance to draw, but maybe not if he's too busy.
 +
 +
2. A fan asked that: In "Magic Kaito" where Kaitou Kid is the main character, the first Kid (Toichi) was killed by a mysterious organization. Kaitou Kid both find the "Pandora" and hunt the enemies who killed his father at the same time. But in the "Mystery Train" arc, Kid showed up to help Conan. Will Kaitou Kid's story be relevant to the Black Organization because of this ?
 +
 +
Gosho said because that was a special case, so [he] let Kid appeared and have an encounter with the organization. However, Kid has his own story plot, which may be developed in "Magic Kaito", so Kaitou Kid will probably not have any intersection with the BO in the future.
 +
 +
He also said that he really wants to draw MK, at least one volume per year, but since he's too busy with Conan's releases, especially with the "Mystery Train" thing, he never had the time.
 +
 +
About the Black Organization
 +
 +
1. Gosho said that after Amuro there'll also be a new member/new members. Even though he didn't say clearly, but it seems that there won't be only one.
 +
 +
2. A fan asked: All BO members have alcoholic code-names. Does Gosho like alcohols ? Will his most favorite alcohol be The Boss' code-name ?
 +
 +
Gosho said he doesn't really drink, he just picked up the alcoholic names that he thinks are cool. The cool code-names are almost used up now, maybe there's only Whiskey or something... left. [Black Demon: I find this strange because Rye and Bourbon are already whiskeys.]
 +
 +
The Boss doesn't need to have a code-name because (he/she) is the "boss", of course the member's code-names are all come up by The Boss.
 +
 +
3. A fan asked whether Gosho has already come up with the name and character design/setting for The Boss ?
 +
 +
Gosho gave out an ambiguous statement: The Boss has already been come up with/has already appeared; the name also has already been come up with/has already appeared. But which option is the correct understanding, everyone has their own opinion.
 +
 +
However, Gosho stated that it's not Agasha Hiroshi, to which the audiences clap enthusiastically.
 +
 +
4. A girl asked about the "Sherry naked" thing, that why does Gin always think about her without clothes, what exactly is their relationship ?
 +
 +
Gosho answered that they indeed had a relationship, but it wouldn't be interesting if (he) revealed it there, so please wait for it. The poster also mentioned that Gosho had a trolling (or something like that) laugh/smile at the time.
 +
 +
5. From what I (BD) understand here is that a fan asked why Gosho didn't name Amuro directly after Tohru Furuya but had to use a character that has the same pronunciation (透 vs. 徹). Gosho said that it would be too obvious if he did that. [Except it's still very obvious :P ]
 +
 +
6. A fan asked whether there will be a special story that Gosho wants to write next year (Conan's 20th anniversary) ?
 +
 +
Gosho said that he wants to write a BIG case that involves the organization. However, he said that he "wants to write", so...
 +
 +
About the ending
 +
 +
The poster asked about the ending and Gosho's answer is basically the same as in the past: It may not end just yet, but he also said that doesn't mean (Conan) doesn't have any ending. [So what I understand here is that there may or may not be a ending, and Gosho is also not certain about when will he write the end either.]

'''Plot and Black Organization'''<br>
 +
<br>
 +
When/how/did the boss of the Black Organization appear?
 +
Sources 1,6,7, report Gosho said the boss has appeared in some form a "long time ago", but Gosho may have implied the boss could have appeared "recently". Contrast with Source 5 who does not report the part of the answer that the boss has appeared recently.
 +
Q: Has the boss appeared?
 +
A: He has. Long ago, recently, I wonder when?/I wonder if he appeared long ago or recently (laughs))
 +
The different sources extracted different meanings from this statement. One of the sources (which one?) thought Gosho was taunting, so the phrase may be misunderstood. Source 5 notes Gosho was being vague about what form the boss appeared in. (Current manga chapter is 883)
 +
It is mentioned again the boss is not Agasa. (Source 1,5,6,7)
 +
Gosho declined to answer a question if the boss's face has appeared (Source 1,7)
 +
 +
Akemi has nothing to do with the rivalry between Akai Shuuichi and Amuro Tohru. (Source 1,2,5,6,7)
 +
 +
The two people who followed Yukiko and the Detective Boys and took pictures of Haibara in the prescreening case in the Vermouth arc (episode 335-336) were subordinates of Akai's. Gosho said you can ignore them. (Source 1,2,6,7)
 +
 +
Gosho declined to answer if Amuro's name is an alias. Amuro does have a childhood nickname that will appear. (Source 1,2,5,6,7)
 +
Amuro's dark skin color has a meaning (Source 2,5,6,7) Gosho declined to say whether Amuro's hair and skin color is natural,(Source 1,5,6) but mentioned his current hair color is supposed to be brown, not white. (Source 6)
 +
Amuro’s "profile" is a secret. (Source 6,7)
 +
Gosho gave a non-answer about Amuro's weaknesses: "I also haven’t decided on any weaknesses or dislikes. I mean, you wouldn’t like it if I said that he dislikes nattō, right? (laughs)” (Source 2,5,6,7)
 +
 +
Gin's weakness is Akai (Source 1,2,4,6)
 +
Gin is the type who doesn't have favorite or disliked foods. (Sources 5,6,7) (Q: What are Gin’s weaknesses/dislikes? A: I think he doesn’t have any likes/dislikes. I think he can relatively eat whatever.) (Source 6)
 +
 +
Gosho declined to answer about the completeness of APTX antidote (Source 1,2,6,7).
 +
Gosho declined to answer about the bloody disk of APTX data Haibara had from the Haido City Hotel seen later in Desperate Revival. (Source 1,2,6)
 +
 +
Movie 18 will have some sort of appearance by Akai. (Source 1,2,6,7 More info given in sources 6 and 7)
 +
Gōshō: This year’s movie is Akai.
 +
Q: Does he have a central part?
 +
A: I don’t know how much of a part “central” is, but I think it will make you go “Oh!” “It’s happening before the manga”-kind of like.
 +
I also drew Akai’s key frames.
 +
Akai Shuuichi's story in the manga will be dealt with AFTER the movie, not before. (Source 2)
 +
“It’s gonna happen in the movie before the manga…” (Source 7) [The subject of "it" is unclear. It might refer to Akai's appearance.]
 +
Gosho cannot say more about the topic because it would make the director mad.  (Source 1,6,7+others)
 +
 +
Gosho declined to answer about future overseas cases. (Source 1,6)
 +
When the possibility of having a case in America related to Sera was asked about in the same question, Gosho regarded the question as a dangerous and declined to go there. (Source 1,2,6,7)
 +
Q: There have been cases abroad so far, but will the story of when Sera lived in America appear?
 +
A: Oh! You just asked something dangerous. Was that on purpose? (laughs)
 +
 +
Sera was the hardest character story to design (Source 1,5,6,7) of the recent new characters (Sera, Amuro, Naeko, Haneda mentioned by question). The Akai siblings have three different last names (Source 1,2,7) which makes it complex (Source 6). Sera's appearance was also difficult to design. (Source 6) Gosho designed her as a tomboy (Source 1,6) because he likes her that way (Source 1), and she has to standout/be different from Ran and Haibara.
 +
 +
Why does the Black Organization wear black? (Source 1) Question not answered by source.<br>
 +
<br>
 +
'''The police'''<br>
 +
<br>
 +
Yumi and Sato have been good friends since high school. (Source 1,2,6,7) But Gosho has no plans of making them classmates. (Source 6,7)
 +
 +
There will be a major case/incident involving Naeko Miike. (Source 1,2,6,7)
 +
Q: What about Naeko’s and Chiba’s love comedy?
 +
A: These two will appear in a BIG case.
 +
Q: Will Chiba notice Naeko soon enough?
 +
A: He really doesn’t notice huh? I also think “Is this guy stupid?!” (laughs)
 +
 +
What is Chiba’s first name? (Source 1) Question not answered by source
 +
"It seems like Isshin Chiba (Chiba’s voice actor) really likes Naeko. I was told at the year-end party." (Source 6,7)
 +
 +
A spinoff for Matsuda and Hagiwara not planned (Source 1,2,6) The editors like them though (Source 1,6).  "(Since Matsuda was enrolled in the Division 1 for only 7 days) the editing department told me “Please write a story called ‘The seven days of Matsuda’ or something like that”, but I have no plans of doing so. Matsuda and Hagiwara are just that story. (tn: as in, “the story so far” I guess)"
 +
 +
Why did Takagi become a policeman? (Source 1) - Question not answered by source
 +
 +
Haneda Shuukichi will make another appearance (Source 2,6,7) and it will be at a murder during a Shogi tournament (Source 6,7)<br>
 +
<br>
 +
'''Teenage Protagonists'''<br>
 +
<br>
 +
Someone asked about relative bust sizes. Gosho said Kazuha's breasts are smaller than Ran's. (Source 1,2,4,6,7) Sato's are bigger than Yumi's (Source 1,6), but Sato's don't look so big because she is quite muscular (Source 6), but Shiho is flat right now [because she is a child]. (Source 6). Gosho considers Ran as one of the biggest in terms of bust size. (Source 7)
 +
 +
Gosho wanted to have a karate case where Ran's opponent died but then decided not to. "I’ve thought of writing a story about one of Ran’s karate opponents dying in the middle of a match, but afterall that would be pretty bad so I stopped." (Source 1,6,7)
 +
 +
The correct color for Ai Haibara's hair is reddish brown, not the golden color it is in the movies. (Sources 1,6,7)
 +
 +
Heiji''s line "my Kazuha" was pretty much a confession. (Source 6,7)
 +
Hattori's birthday is not decided (Source 1,2,6,7)
 +
Kazuha birthday is not decided (Source 6,7)<br>
 +
<br>
 +
'''Other''' <br>
 +
<br>
 +
The Ai and Fujiko bath scene in the Lupin vs Conan crossover movie left an impression on Gosho (Source 1,6, not answered in source 1)
 +
 +
Gosho's sleep schedule: "When I was young I used to sleep for about 3 hours, but now I sleep 3 hours at night and then take an afternoon nap of about 30–60 minutes." (Source 6,7)
 +
 +
Gosho draws the culprit first (Source 1,6,7) "When drawing a story, I start from the criminal. Then, if for example the criminal is (tn: a particular way I don’t understand), I draw the other characters not that way." Gosho goes back and forth with editors when trying to decide criminal motive. (Source 2,6,7)
 +
 +
There was something about making Tottori airport into a Conan themed airport and Conan on the side of a plane. (Source 6,7)
 +
 +
(Within Conan?) What kind of sports do you want to write? (Source 1) Question not answered by source
 +
 +
Gosho's favorite outfit for Conan is the Jacket with the K. (Source 1)

- Aoyama's original character Akai Shuuichi from "The Sniper from Another Dimension" will first be dealt with in the original manga, then the movie after that!!

Correction from the poster: Akai will show up in the manga AFTER the movie, not before.
 +
- Shuukichi will make another appearance.

+
(Translation by Fujiwara)
 +
- Akemi has nothing to do with the rivalry between Amuro and Akai
 +
- The Sera thing is just that her character design was difficult ...
 +
- The last line is just about the boss already having appeared (We still don't know whether in person or name - it even says so in brackets)
 +
- What's Gin's weakness? Akai.
 +
- Will there be other international cases like the London case? Sth. like Gosho would like to, but probably not (the writer doesn't quite remember)
 +
 
 +
 
 +
(Translation by Zenthisoror)
 +
- Haneda Shuukichi will reappear in a shogi league competition murder mystery case.
 +
- Amuro's childhood nickname will make an appearance.
 +
- Concerning a Matsuda and Hagiwara spinoff: Hagiwara probably won't appear, but the editor responsible for Gosho likes Matsuda so if the opportunity arises, it might happen.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
(Translation by ALAKTORN)
 +
- When I (Gosho) was young I used to sleep for about 3 hours, but now I sleep 3 hours at night and then take an afternoon nap of about 30–60 minutes.
 +
- In rock, paper, scissors Gosho ALWAYS starts with scissors
 +
- When I (Gosho) have to come up with the motive, I think about it with the editing department while going “nobody would kill for such a reason” and such back and forth.
 +
- When drawing a story, I (Gosho) start from the criminal.
 +
- I haven’t decided on Heiji’s birthday. Nor Kazuha’s.
 +
- What about Naeko’s and Chiba’s love comedy? These two will appear in a BIG case.
 +
Will Chiba notice Naeko soon enough? He really doesn’t notice huh? I (Gosho) also think “Is this guy stupid?!” (laughs)
 +
It seems like Isshin Chiba (Chiba’s voice actor) really likes Naeko. I (Gosho) was told at the year-end party.
 +
- There have been cases abroad so far, but will the story of when Sera lived in America appear?
 +
Oh! You just asked something bad.
 +
Was that on purpose? (laughs)
 +
- Amuro-san’s white hair… is that dyed?
 +
Aah.Rather than white it’s brown.
 +
I can’t answer this.
 +
His dark skin too, there is a profound meaning behind it. (laughs)
 +
- Q: Has that person’s face appeared?
 +
A: Ooh… I can’t answer that! (laughs)
 +
Q: Thank you very much.
 +
A: That was dangerous. lol
 +
- This year’s movie is Akai.
 +
Does he have a central part?
 +
A: I don’t know how much of a part “central” is, but I think it will make you go “Oh!” “It’s happening before the manga”-kind of like.
 +
I also draw Akai’s key frames.
 +
- Q: “My Kazuha” is a confession?
 +
A: That’s pretty much a confession.
 +
Various translators and personal guess:
 +
- The 2 guys with hats and sunglasses appearing during the Toto developing plans case were just FBI subordinates of Akai. You may ignore them.
 +
- Has the Boss's face appeared? I can't say.
 +
- The progress of the APTX4869 antidote? I can't say.
 +
- What happened to the burned disc from the Haido City Hotel? I can’t say.
 +
- What's the reason for Takagi becoming a police officer? I haven't decided yet.
 +
- Breast size: Ran>Kazuha; Sato>Yumi; Ai-chan is completely flat. Not when she was Shiho though.
 +
- Keep in mind the recording Conan made of Heiji's words (probably referring to the drug dealer case)
 +
- Haibara's hair color is different in the anime and movie. Which one is the right one? Haibara's hair is reddish brown.
 +
- There was something about making Tottori airport into a Conan themed airport and Conan on the side of a plane. (DCW)
 +
- Gosho's favorite outfit for Conan is the Jacket with the K (DCW)

The reason Yuusaku didn't go to the Macademy Awards himself is because he and Akai have the same height.<br>
 +
What's the reason that the boss' phone number (it says phone number, btw) has the area code of Kurayoshi (in Tottori)? -> It's just coincidence.<br>
 +
Apparently Gosho did some shooting in Hawaii.<br>
 +
Gin chose his car (Or Gosho chose Gin's car, I guess), cause it's cool.<br>
 +
When's Haibara's bday? --> undecided<br>
 +
Why does Akai always wear a knitted hat? --> Probably cause he likes it.<br>
 +
Conan or Kid - which one do you like better? --> I like them both the same.<br>
 +
In Countdown, we didn't get to see 10-years-into-the-future Ran. Will we get the opportunity to see that some time? --> You will~<br>
 +
Who pays Heiji and Kazuha's plane tickets? --> His mom.<br>
 +
Which of Conan's movements are impossible? --> All of them. [Kinda weird question, if you ask me :V]<br>
 +
How old are Satou/Miyamoto/Shiratori? --> I imagine them to be 28.<br>
 +
Which cosplay would you like to try out? --> The flashy guy in white.<br>
 +
How exactly are Jirokichi and Sonoko related? --> She's his niece.<br>
 +
Where will Heiji confess? --> Gosho: I don't know yet. Is the Tsuutenkaku not good enough? Fan: If it's gonna be abroad, how about Australia? Miyamura lives there after all... Gosho: Ah, Miyamura, I see. Well, you'l find out~<br>
 +
In December, Gosho was hospitalized for 2 weeks. (Due to this there will apparently be a 2-week break after the Kawanakajima case.)<br>
 +
It's a good idea to take a closer look at Detective Date's notebook.<br>

 +
 
 +
Q: Ran's always using a Gallpagos phone: won't she switch to a smartphone at some point?
 +
 
 +
A: W-well... You're right. It's a complicated topic... Well... Hum... It feels a bit ankward that it doesn't close somewhat but...
 +
Maybe I'll change it someday, or so I think from time to time... Sorry.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Q: Volume 85, when Bourbon and Vermouth are talking about how Gin suspects spies are getting in: is that foreshadowing?
 +
 
 +
A: Foreshadowing, huh. Well... Yes, it is. This year's movie will be more or less about that so...
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Q: Well... Someone asked to me ask this but... Kir, Bourbon, Cherry (guess he meant to say Sherry), their eyes turn into foreigners when BO mode: are they mixed race?
 +
 
 +
A: Ah... No, nott really. When Conan gets surprised he also gets foreigner-like eyes so... I draw them like that when I want to portray scared eyes: there's no special meaning to them. Sorry.
 +
But they maybe (some odd word: apparently Gosho can't come up with the word he wants to use) half, even.
 +
(According to the person who wrote this it might be that he was trying to think of alternative word to "half", another way to tell mixed race characters apart)
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Q: Now... This year's film "The Darknest Nightmare": what color feelings do you think we should give to this pitch black movie? What's the fitting color in your opinion?
 +
 
 +
A: Huh! That's a bit dangerous (in the sense that he has to avoid spoilers). Hum... Well, I guess each viewer should choose their own color... I think. It's a bit hard to say. Sorry.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Q: Volume 88. Sato's flashy outfit: are those plain clothes? In the same volume: Takagi Wataru is wearing flashy too but has his police notebook got downgraded to senior policeman, did you know?
 +
He should be a police sergeant but both the Shonen Sunday chapter and the volume chapter read "senior policeman".
 +
 
 +
A: It got mistaken with police sergeant. Sorry, I meant, he IS a police sergeant.
 +
And... Maybe Sato's plain clothes were borrowed frum Yumi?
 +
Incidentally, the next case involves Yumi and Sato... Well... That's... It begins with a scene having the 2 of them walking in front of Shinjuku's Alta. (Fashion store in Tokyo)
 +
Chuukichi also shows up.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Q: Is there a "fake" (a red herring) in the manga that no-one's noticed yet?
 +
 
 +
A: Ah... Huh... There is. No-one's noticed it yet. It'll soon be reffered to. In Volume 18 (speculated to be the APTX victim list and the "Haneda" name there)
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Q: Eh... I think that there might be people like Amuro or Akai from the PSB or the FBI sneaking int the BO but...
 +
Could there be the inverse, that BO are sneaking into Japanese police or FBI or in Conan's surroundings?
 +
 
 +
A: Ah... You bring up a painful topic... (Might be his way of saying: "I won't tell you")
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Q: Could they be inside of characters who've already shown up or will show up in the future?
 +
 
 +
A: That's... welll... No comment. Please switch question topic.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Q: Also... Maybe you can't tell us but... Who's the girl that Sera's hiding?
 +
 
 +
A: I can't say that but... Really. Are there no other topics?
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Q: Also... Maybe you can't tell us but... Is Vermouth an ally?
 +
 
 +
A: Huh? I can't say that. Really. An ally? (Looks troubled). Are you finished?
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Q: Vermouth and Shinichi's mom knew other as fellow actresses but... Both know a lot about each other and seem to get along pretty well but...
 +
How should I put it like...? How well do they get along?
 +
 
 +
A: Well... They're both actresses.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Q: I meant: how do they get along about how they know a lot about each other?
 +
 
 +
A: Not really.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Q: Please give us a hint regarding what you've said about that of Volume 18 no-one knows about!
 +
 
 +
A: You bring it up...? Why...? I'm saying no-one knows it... Hmmmm...
 +
Well... You could say that someone might show up... When you see their name you'll go "Really?" or something like that...
 +
Hmmm... Sheesh. Let's leave it at there. You'll enjoy it when you read it so look forward to it.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Q: Is there someone, some character that proved to be very hard to draw or think of?
 +
 
 +
A: Ah. Hmmm... Huh... Not sure... Akai or Gin, maybe. I wanted them to be cool and scary at the same time and it proved to be hard to.
 +
The conté crayons I drew recently ago needed several redos.... It was rather... Hum... Somewhat... Let's leave it at there.
 +
If I go I might end up spoilering something so.
 +
(Gosho) President: I don't have much time to fix these... (President?) It's a bit wrong... (Gosho) What's a bit wrong?
 +
Yeah. You see, it became like a hoodlum, even. Felt like behaving like Gin, even.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Q: What's with Ran's hairstyle?
 +
 
 +
A: Ah. Sorry. That must be it... T-that's, well, ended up like that, I guess. Hmmm... I wanted it to be a hairstyle with style so... I went with that symbol... Or, rather...
 +
... Make it so that you can tell it's Ran even from a distance. Like when she's in the midst of a crowd... So that's why I made it like that. Sorry.
 +
More like AstroBoy's angel head.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Q: Can you tell us a highlight of this year's movie?
 +
 
 +
A: A highlight? Well... It's a confrontation with the BO. And, also... A fight between PSB's Amuro and FBI's Akai. Boxing vs Jeet Kune Do. Where they fight is frightening... You'll be like "they're gonna fight here of all places?".

Translation by Spimer:
 +
 
 +
(Translator's note: Some sources contradict over the exact wording of his replies or in-between questions but the contents more or less match.)
 +
 
 +
Q: What's the most iconic scene in the upcoming movie?
 +
 
 +
A: That scene with Kazuha standing. I drew it for the teaser.
 +
 
 +
Q: You'd said before that [Conan] could reach up to 100 volumes, what about it?
 +
 
 +
A: I take it back. Forget my previous words about this topic. I'm now sure it'll take over 100 volumes.
 +
 
 +
Q: Do you have an idea of how many?
 +
 
 +
A: I don't know. I actually don't know myself so look forward to it.
 +
 
 +
Q: When are Akai's and Amuro's birthdays?
 +
 
 +
A: I dunno the as well.
 +
 
 +
Q: But coud you at least tell me Akai's age?
 +
 
 +
A: Didn't I announce it already? (omission) Amuro is 29 and
 +
 
 +
That Iori [Muga]guy is 30, right?
 +
 
 +
So he's about that same age. He is 31 or 32 years old.
 +
 
 +
Q: Do Rye and Bourbon really dislike each other?
 +
 
 +
A: Don't they?
 +
 
 +
Q: So they don't want to see each other or stick together?
 +
 
 +
A: Obviously.
 +
 
 +
Q: What about [character] settings in the movies and manga? Are they the same or are they different?
 +
 
 +
A: I'd like to say that they're the same but they're contradicitng themselves in some spots... Sorry but I can't give you a short answer. Well! The
 +
 
 +
movies are the movies and the manga is the manga.
 +
 
 +
Q: It's about Haneda Kouji.
 +
 
 +
A: Yikes!
 +
 
 +
Q: In the manga he's written as "Haneda" but in the anime is name's ruby reads "Hada" in the anime. What does that mean?
 +
 
 +
A: That's a mistake from their part. I forgot to tell them. Kouji comes from Tanigawa Kouji (a real-world shogi player).
 +
 
 +
(T/N: "ruby" is term to refer to the furigana or the "reading" of kanji. Instead of "Haneda" it say "Hada" since they accidentally ommitted the "ne" in
 +
"Haneda". Thanks to Fujiwara for pointing this out!)
 +
 
 +
Q: What male characters are good at cooking?
 +
 
 +
A: Amuro is good. Akai learnt from Yukiko and has gotten better but his stew could be improved. I guess Amuro's the one who's more skilled at cooking.
 +
 
 +
Q: What's the inspiration for the Night Baron? Is it the "Red Baron" in which Akai and Char were based upon?
 +
 
 +
A: Red Baron?
 +
 
 +
Q: It was famous in America as...
 +
 
 +
A: No, that's not it. The inspiration is Edogawa Ranpo's "Golden Mask".
 +
 
 +
Q: Will Amuro have a tragic end?
 +
 
 +
A: Dunno. Can't answer that right now.
 +
 
 +
Q: Akai dated Akemi when he was infiltrating the BO, but did Amuro do something like that?
 +
 
 +
A: He's not doing that right now.
 +
 
 +
Q: Now? Inside of the org?
 +
 
 +
A: LOL. You're sharp! But he isn't! And you all know who his first love is!
 +
 
 +
Q: Haibara didn't get to show much up in Episode One! Are you planning to make an "Episode Two" in which we'll see when she shrunk?
 +
 
 +
A: Have no plans to do so right now. LOL. But it got very positive reviews so maybe there'll be something like it in the future.
 +
 
 +
Q: What about an episode of Amuro's past?
 +
 
 +
A: I intend to write it.
 +
 
 +
Q: Will it be during this Rum arc?
 +
 
 +
A: No comment.
 +
 
 +
Q: How did Kaito know Conan is Shinichi?
 +
 
 +
A: When did he get to know, I wonder? I'd like to know, too. If only I had a chance to write an episode about that...
 +
 
 +
Q: What car did you use to come here today?
 +
 
 +
A:
 +
 
 +
Q: What car did you use to come here today?
 +
 
 +
A: An RX-7. I used it as model to come up with Sato's car. In the anime it's red but it's black in the manga. Amuro has this car, too.
 +
 
 +
It'd seem that police cars can't be so flashy. Actually... I was kidding about that of the car's colors!
 +
 
 +
Q: What about Akai and Jodie's relationship? When they start hanging out? Did any of them confess to the other?
 +
 
 +
A: It's a secret. Enjoy it when I publish about it, if I get to.
 +
 
 +
Q: Do you plan on Kazami appearing in the manga?
 +
 
 +
A: Who? Kazami? Do you like the guy?
 +
 
 +
Q: Because Amuro doesn't have any allies.
 +
 
 +
A: But maybe that's what makes him cool, instead? Maybe you'll get to see Kazami again...? Look forward to it!
 +
 
 +
Q: Have you planned where Heiji will confess at? You seem to focus on that a lot in the [Shonen] Sunday as of late?
 +
 
 +
A: You're going to ask THAT? It's obvious that I won't tell you, isn't it? It's a secret.
 +
 
 +
Q: Are there any scene in Episode One which you influenced?
 +
 
 +
A: That scene with Korn. Other scenes (apart from that where Shinichi, Ran and Sonoko go to Sonoko's house) were influenced by me, too. I also decided on
 +
that scene with Akai.
 +
 
 +
Q: What do you use as inspiration for the girls' clothes?
 +
 
 +
A: Various women buy those clothes. I used "JJ" or "anan" as reference before.
 +
 
 +
Q: Who told you about the Chuubu earthquake?
 +
 
 +
A: I was sleeping and one of my assistants woke me up. I was surprised that the TV said "Beika City" when reporting the earthquake.
 +
 
 +
Q: Will Okita show up in the next movie?
 +
 
 +
A: He won't. But maybe he'll show up in the manga. Since he's in the same high-school as Momiji.
 +
 
 +
Q: Which poem of the "Hyakunin Isumi" do you like?
 +
 
 +
A: "Chihayafuru"!
 +
 
 +
Q: Will Takagi and Sato marry?
 +
 
 +
A: I'd like for them to marry.
 +
 
 +
Q: Kudo Shinichi, Akai Shuuichi, Kuroba Touichi. Are characters with the "ichi" (one) Kanji in their names relevant? What about [Furuya] Rei? And Heiji's "ji"?
 +
 
 +
A: In Touichi's case I wanted Mr.Ikeda to be his VA. Akai is Ikeda. Shinichi comes from Hoshi Shinichi. Furuya Rei's "Rei" is unrelated. Heiji is also unrelated.
 +
 
 +
Q: Is there a love episode for Haibara?
 +
 
 +
A: She likes that soccer player. She's attracted to him.
 +
 
 +
Q: In the "Visual Book" it says that Shinichi... was born in the US? And that he lives in the US?
 +
 
 +
A: Tha'ts wrong. He's born in Japan.
 +
 
 +
Q: There are a lot of "strong types" amongst the female characters, do you like that type of character?
 +
 
 +
A: I like "tsunderes".
 +
 
 +
Q: Who was Haibara speaking to in Episode One? Is there any meaning to the scene?
 +
 
 +
A: There's none. It won't be brought up.
 +
 
 +
Q: What's Gin in-org rank?
 +
 
 +
A: Pretty high. It's within your ten fingers.
 +
 
 +
Q: Will you make an episode about Takagi's past?
 +
 
 +
A: Hadn't thought of that. I might consider it.
 +
 
 +
Q: Who decides the movies' thematics?
 +
 
 +
A: Movie 21 was decided by the staff. Movie 20 was decided by me. They decided the title "Darkest" while I choose "Nightmare".
 +
 
 +
Q: In the "sakura" case it'd seem that Yukiko had met Ran before, but is that truly Shinichi's and Ran's first encounter?
 +
 
 +
A: It is the first encounter. I'm considering whether I should depict Yukiko's and Ran's first meeting.
 +
 
 +
(Another source lists answer as "They haven't met before")
 +
 
 +
Q: Will there be an episode with "cool" Kogoro?
 +
 
 +
A: In the upcoming [Shounen] Sunday. It'll be very cool.
 +
 
 +
Q: How many years has Wakasa Rumi been teaching? She's the assistant homeroom teacher, so how long has she been working?
 +
 
 +
A: I can't answer that.
 +
 
 +
Q: Do you plan on making an episode of when Koumei was relegated to the local force?
 +
 
 +
A: I've got one in mind. I'm considering it.
 +
 
 +
Q: Is there a reason why in Amuro's debut case there was so much talk about genes and blood?
 +
 
 +
A: I can't say much about that.
 +
 
 +
Q: The reason why Shinichi uses shirts with his clothes is because it's his style?
 +
 
 +
A: I like that style myself. I think shirts fit him.
 +
 
 +
Q: You said in Animal Crossing that Rum's already appeared. Has Rum's name and face appeared?
 +
 
 +
A: His/her name haven't shown up, in a sense! Maybe his/her face has appeared...?
 +
 
 +
Q: What org would you like to be part of? FBI? PSB? Another?
 +
 
 +
A: I wouldn't like to be in any of those. Even if I tagged with Akai he wouldn't talk to me, but Amuro feels kinder so I'd like to eat sandwiches with him!
 +
 
 +
Q: Which of your characters would you like to be?
 +
 
 +
A: In the past I liked to be Conan so that I can bath along with Ran... And now I also want to... I haven't changed! LOL!
 +
 
 +
Q: Will Mr. Sakamoto from the [Yomiuri] Giants show up in Conan?
 +
 
 +
A: That depends on Mr. Sakamoto himself.
 +
 
 +
Q: Did Curaçao die?
 +
 
 +
A: She did. She's not alive. Sorry.
 +
 
 +
Q: What's your favorite car?
 +
 
 +
A: The porsche! Sorry for having the same choice as Gin's!
 +
 
 +
Q: Will Momiji show up before M21's release in April?
 +
 
 +
A: Maybe she'll show up around that period?
 +
 
 +
Q: What will file 1000 be about?
 +
 
 +
A: (poster can't disclose the contents of the answer)
 +
 
 +
[The Red Thread's note: This info was delivered through the Conan App #SecretTalk, translation by bash7353:
 +
 
 +
"I said 'Chapter 1000 might take place in Singapore', but it doesn't look like that'll be the case. Apologies to everyone who got excited."]
 +
 
 +
Q: In M1, Ran said that "Shinichi and I are born in May so we're Taurus". Is that true for the manga as well?
 +
 
 +
A: Taurus? Is that so? Ran? Ran's birthday... I haven't decided it yet. You want her to be Taurus? I'll work on it. I'll consider that.
 +
 
 +
Q: Are the drugs [APTX4869] that Conan and Haibara swallowed different or are they same?
 +
 
 +
A: The drugs they swallowed? They're the same.
 +
 
 +
Addendum by Startold, about the "secret" question bloggers omitted in their reports:
 +
 
 +
It's a spoiler about "that person's name", and it would be "a huge spoiler".
 +
 
 +
"Person" is written with the kanji of "hito" and not "kata", so it's not about the Boss.
 +
 
 +
Also translated thanks to Spimer, from another (unconfirmed) source: http://ameblo.jp/fuuyuu-xxx-sakurach…/entry-12234650065.html
 +
 
 +
- File 1000 "might" be a love-comedy episode
 +
 
 +
- The blogger also adds that about M22, it would seem that it'll be like M4 in which police characters will have an important role

Q: Did Ai-chan drank the same medicine that Conan did?
 +

TN: That was omitted and that is a really STRONG nuance that should remain.
 +
 
 +
Q: Before official Conan April Movie, er-r… Momiji-chan. Momiji-chan in Sunday manga… Will she appear before the movie?

A: A~ Before the official release of the movie? I have a feeling she’ll appear at the same time when the movie will be presented to public… Sorry if I lied.
 +
 
 +
Q: Who do you want to become from your characters?
 +

 +
Q: Ran said in the first movie that ‘Shinichi and I were born in May, so we are both Taurus’. Is this true in manga?

 +
 
 +
Q: Driving a conversation a little from Conan, Aoyama-sensei loves Giants’ Sakamoto-senshu(Sakamoto Hayato), and previously you stated that he will appear in Conan if he will make 30 home runs, he didn’t, but still has a great playing record, will he appear in Conan?
 +
 
 +
A: Haaa~ Yes-yes-yes. Well… I want him to appear. But that’s sad… It will depend on Sakamoto-senshu himself.
 +
 
 +
Q: Err… Did the girl in the movie (Curacao) really died?

 +
 
 +
A: My taste. Hahaha. Sorry. Shirts suits him well  ♪
 +
 
 +
Q: Err… In Animal Forest you said ‘Rum had already appeared’, at that point of time, did they show their name of face?
 +
 
 +
A: Name.. Eh… U… Eh… Hm… In some kind, their name was not shown.

Q: In Meitantei Conan universe there was FBI, Secret Police, Japan Police…  Which organization would you like to join, if you lived in Conan world?
 +
 
 +
A: Eh… I don’t want both of them :)
 +
 
 +
Audience: If you were to have some activity with them - either investigation or just eating, then who?
 +
 
 +
A: Eh… If I was with Akai, I think I won’t be able to talk with him. Aa. Amuro-kun is kind of nice. I want to eat sandwiches with Amuro. Haha. Amuro then.
 +
 
 +
Q: I don’t know if you’ll answer that, but how many years passed since Wakasa Rumi-sensei started teaching? She is a homeroom teacher, which means she has to have teaching experience for some years.
 +
 
 +
A: Aa… Wakasa Rumi-sensei? A… Yes-yes. Aa, Eh? Hm… I can’t answer that… Sorry. Maybe that can be an answer of some kind.

 +
 
 +
Q: I love Ran really much, and I really liked Ran and Shinichi’s sakura meeting story, but Yukiko, when looked at Ran’s face, told ‘could it be’, and 'Eri-chan’s girl’, could it be that Shinichi and Ran met before?
 +
 
 +
A: A… Yes-yes. Shinichi and Ran didn’t meet before. That was their first meeting. Well, Yukiko could’ve seen her, but she didn’t meet her.
 +
 
 +
Audience: Maybe you’ll draw Yukiko and Ran’s meeting?
 +
 
 +
A: Aa… You want to see it? I see… I’ll try :) Although I have no plans of drawing it for now :)
 +
 
 +
Q: In the chapter where Amuro first appeared, DNA and blood were mentioned, does it have something to do with Amuro?
 +
 
 +
A: Blood, huh? Err… What, something like a chimera? No-no-no :)
 +
 
 +
Audience: Then blood relationship? Family?
 +
 
 +
A: A! No, I can’t tell that! :)
 +
 
 +
Q: There were two movies with Kogoro being cool, will there be a chapter where Kogoro will be cool in manga?
 +
 
 +
A: I’m drawing it right now! Er, in next Sunday series. He’s soo cool!
 +
 
 +
Q: I’m very interested in Gin, he’s smart, quick-witted and I think he’s one of the best 5 of te Organization, so can you at least tell us his number position in the Organization?
 +
 
 +
A: E… Quite high.
 +
 
 +
Audience: Top ten? Top 5?
 +
 
 +
A: A… Among the best 10.
 +
 
 +
Q: I love Takagi-keiji the best, but his past is not really clear, what was the reason for him to join the police? Will you tell it?
 +
 
 +
A: I’ll think of it! Hahaha.
 +
 
 +
Q: How movie titles are decided?
 +
 
 +
A: Aa… This year it was decided by staff. Previous one was decided by me. Somebody decided on ‘darkest’, I chose ‘nightmare’. So that’s like that. Suwa(Michihiko Suwa)-san thinks about it, I think about it, staff thinks about it.
 +
 
 +
Q: In Visual Book there’s written that Shinichi-kun is America resident, was he born in America? Or Japan?
 +
 
 +
A: Eh? America? Is it written there? That’s probably a mistake. He was _probably_ born in Japan.
 +
 
 +
Q: Among all girl characters in Meitantei Conan, I feel like there are a lot of strong-willed women, err… does Aoyama-sensei love this type? Or is this unintentional?
 +
 
 +
A: I love ‘tsundere’ type! My favourite. Of course I like cute ones too.
 +
 
 +
Q: Kudo Shinichi, Akai Shuichi, Kuroba Toichi, all important characters has ‘ichi’ in their names. And Chiba-san’s first name was not his seiyu’s, the 'one’ is changed to 'wa’.
 +
 
 +
A: Aa, you noticed! Sorry. And if you want more details, I wanted Toichi to be voiced by Ikeda Shuichi, so he was named Toichi, who gave him the voice. Akai Shuichi goes without saying. Shinichi is a little different. He was named after Hoshi Shinichi-san.
 +
 
 +
Audience: What about Furuya-san’s Rei and Heiji’s 'Ji’? Has it meanings of numbers?
 +
 
 +
A: It have nothing to do with numbers.
 +
 
 +
Q: I love Miyano Shiho the best, at Episode ONE’s start scene in laboratory, when Sherry was talking with somebody on the phone while looking at the computer screen, is her opponent someone important?
 +
 
 +
A: What? A~ No. Sorry. I think it could be anyone. They won’t appear probably. Sorry.
 +
 
 +
Q: About Miyano Shiho-chan, will she have a love development?
 +
 
 +
A: Eh! That’s a difficult question. Well… She loves a certain soccer player. Well.. Hm. Don’t you know that? Well, that’s all about it. Hahaha.
 +
 
 +
Q: That’s not a question about Conan, but when there was an earthquake in Tottori, how did you knew about it and what did you feel?
 +
 
 +
A: A… Well, I was sleeping. Honestly, I was going to sleep 3 hours, and when I woke up after half an hour of sleeping, I thought 'it’s shaking! and switched on TV. When I saw Hokuei written there, I was suprised. Yep. Like that. A was a little surprised.
 +
 
 +
Q: Will Okita-kun appear in the movie?
 +
 
 +
A: He won’t appear in movie. But probably will appear in manga. He’s in the same high school. He won’t appear (in movie)!
 +
Want to see him?
 +
 
 +
Audience: Yes!
 +
 
 +
A: Ok. I’ll do it!

 +
Q: Karakurenai Love Letter has Huakunin Isshu theme, which is your favorite poem?
 +
 
 +
A: That’s  ‘Chihayaburu’! You don’t know? Please study more.
 +
 
 +
Q: When will Takagi-san and Satou-keiji marry?
 +
 
 +
A: A… What a straight question. Hmmm… I don’t know when, but I want them to marry. Hm. It’s still undecided.
 +
 
 +
Q: In ep. ONE which scenes were made by you?
 +
 
 +
A: Aa… Of course Korn! Yeah… And everything apart from Shinichi and Ran visiting Sonoko’s home at the beginning was made by me.
 +
Last scenes with Akai, Vermouth was of course mine. Yukiko and Yusaku also. I directed all of those scenes. And Vodka’s 'We want to build a lab’ was mine.
 +
 
 +
Q: All girls in Conan, for example Ran-chan, look really cute, tell us please, what references and brands do you use for them?
 +
 
 +
A: Eh~ Aa… Well, right now all women clothes are chosen by women. So it depends on her taste.
 +
Before, when I chose it myself, it was JJ, anan, Non-no and CanCam. That’s all. Sorry.
 +
 
 +
Q: Err… I really love Akai-san and was suprised that he dated Jodie=sensei. Please tell us about how Jodie and Akai’s romance started! When they started dating? Who confessed first? Tell us!
 +
 
 +
A: Ehh? I can’t tell that :) Please wait, it could appear in manga!
 +
 
 +
Audience: Please!
 +
 
 +
A: I’ll do my best.
 +
 
 +
Q: I lived in Tottori for a long time but I became fan only with 'The Darkest Nightmare’, sorry. That’s not a question, more like a wish. Please add Kazami Yuuya to the manga. Please.
 +
 
 +
A: Eh? Who? Kazami? You like Kazami?
 +
 
 +
Audience: That’s not about liking, that’s about Amuro having no friends…
 +
 
 +
A: Aa… That’s good :)
 +
 
 +
Audience: Hey, he’s lonely.
 +
 
 +
A: Well… Kazami, huh. You want him to appear. Yes-yes-yes. Maybe you’ll see Kazami again.
 +
 
 +
Q: Kaito Kid  err… Does he know that Conan=Shinichi?
 +
 
 +
A: A! That, when did it happen? I want to ask myself… Well, if I’ll have a chance, I’ll think of it.
 +
 
 +
Q: What car you ride to come here today?
 +
 
 +
A: Aaa, Same as Sato-keiji, RX7. In manga it’s black. Police cars are not that flashy. Anime… well… Lied. A, Amuro also has the same. His car is white.
 +
 
 +
Q: Looks like there’s a fuss about where Heiji will confess to Kazuha-chan in recent Sunday issue. Where do you think he will do it?
 +
 
 +
A: You ask about that? You can’t:) Hm… Kinda… Well, wait for it :)
 +
 
 +
Q: What is the most impressive scene in ‘Karakurenai no Love Letter’?
 +
 
 +
A: That’s hm… A scene with Kazuha. I can tell only that. I drew a teaser while having an apparent scene in mind. Hm? You got what it is? You don’t get it? It’s fine! :) Damn, me. I told too much.
 +
 
 +
Q: Happy New Year. Err… Quite a time ago you told that you want to reach 100 volumes, now you’re closing to it, what are you going to do?
 +
 
 +
A: I think it will exceed 100 volumes. Please act like I didn’t say anything about 100 volumes :)
 +
 
 +
Audience: How much do you want to reach?
 +
 
 +
A: I don’t have a goal. Mm… I didn’t even think about it.
 +
 
 +
Q: Happy New Year, Aoyama-sensei. Err… I became a fan from the Darkest Nighmare, so I like Akai-san and Amuro-san. Err… If it’s possible, please tell us birthdays of Akai-san and Amuro=sam… Err… Akai-san and Furuya Rei-san.
 +
 
 +
A: Aa… I don’t know.
 +
 
 +
Audience: Then at least tell us Akai’s age
 +
 
 +
A: I didn’t tell?
 +
 
 +
Audience: He first appeared as a passenger and he didn’t had age shown.
 +
 
 +
Aoyama: Aa… Age, huh. How old is Amuro?
 +
 
 +
Audience: Amuro is 29, but we don’t know about Furuya Rei-san.
 +
 
 +
A: Well, Amuro is 29, Iori is 30, right? Then it’s like that. 31-32.
 +
 
 +
Q: To what extent Rye and Bourbon had really that bad relationship?
 +
 
 +
A: Eeh? They had bad relationship, right?
 +
 
 +
Audience: Like could they not stand each other faces or even eat at the same table?
 +
 
 +
A: Well, yeah, it was like that. They really disliked each other. I guess you understand there was a reason for that, right?
 +
 
 +
Q: Err, I think about manga and movies as different things, but they have content created by you, right? Err… According to movies, Ran-chan knows Conan-kun’s birthday, but she doesn’t (in manga), so how movies influence manga?
 +
 
 +
Is your setting the same as movie one?
 +
 
 +
A: Ah, is it influencing? Aa… Hmm… Right, I want to say it’s the same, but it has some subtle differences. Well. I suppose it has differences. Like, birthdays. Well. I can’t answer right away, sorry. Well. Movies are movies. Manga is manga.
 +
 
 +
Q: About Haneda Koji… In manga’s APTX list he is Haneda, but in anime is is ‘Hada’.
 +
 
 +
A: A… That is a mistake. I didn’t say that to anime staff. Koji is taken from Tanigawa Koji.
 +
 
 +
Q: Episode ONE’s scene with Ran-chan cooking for Shinichi was impressive. How good are male characters at cooking?
 +
 
 +
A: Amuro is good at it. Akai was taught by Yukiko-san and got better. But he can only make stews… I think Amuro is better.
 +
 
 +
Q: Yusaku’s ‘Night Baron’ is a a reference to Red Baron, that was a reference for Akai-san and Char (Aznable)?
 +
 
 +
A: Eh? Red Baron?
 +
 
 +
(TN: Manfred von Richthofen)
 +
 
 +
Audience: He’s famous in America…
 +
 
 +
A: No. Wrong. Golden Mask. Edogawa Ranpo’s.
 +
 
 +
Q: I got interested in Conan from the previous year’s movie. There are a lot of people who really like Akai-san and Amuro-san, so people talk about it a lot. Akai was dating Miyano Akemi, who was at the same organization. What about Amuro?
 +
 
 +
A: I made a hint before. Eh? You didn’t hear that? Amuro dated somebody.
 +
 
 +
Audience: Was it a love inside the Organization? If he has a woman now, please tell is.
 +
 
 +
A: A. Right now he doesn’t have a woman he loves.
 +
 
 +
Audience: Now?
 +
 
 +
A: Yep. Hahaha. You’re all great. He doesn’t! For now.
 +
 
 +
Audience: Will you draw a chapter about it?
 +
 
 +
A: Hm, maybe. His first love. You all know that person.
 +
 
 +
(Smol Amuro loved Elena OMG)
 +
 
 +
Q: Happy New Year. I’m a fan of Haibara Ai-chan, but there was too little Ai-chan in Episode ONE. Do you want to make episode TWO about how Haibara-san became smaller?
 +
 
 +
A: Aa. You want to see a getting smaller story again, huh. Right now - no. But it had great reviews, so maybe we’ll make something like that.
 +
 
 +
Q: Happy New Year. Err, in Amuro-san as Furuya Rei’s past there was a glimpse of Elena-sensei, do you want to draw something  about it?
 +
 
 +
A: A… Right. I have to! Hm… That’s kind of difficult setting.
 +
 
 +
Audience: Wil you draw it in a RUM arc?
 +
 
 +
Aoyama: No comment! :) I told too much. Sorry, I can’t answer that.
