<u>'''なんかもう、「ダイ・ハード」みたいになっていた'''</u>
 +
 
 +
──今日、初めて「紺青の拳」の試写をご覧になったんですよね(取材は4月2日の完成披露舞台挨拶の前に行われた)。
 +
 
 +
観てきました。面白かったですよ! 収録のときはまだ画が完成していないのと、音楽や効果音も入っていない状態なので、全体が見えるわけじゃないんです。なので改めて完成したものを観て、これはみんなワクワクする作品になったんじゃないかと思いました。それにしてもかなりスケールの大きな作品になったなという感じはしましたね。なかなかね、人間離れした人たちがたくさん出てくるから(笑)。
 +
 
 +
──はい。後半は驚きの連続で、1回観ただけでは処理しきれない感じがありました(笑)。
 +
 
 +
そうなんですよ。収録のときも画面がどうなっているかわからないから、「えっ、これってどうなってるの? まさかこうなってるの?」なんてみんなで話していて。あそこまで突き抜けた作品になったら、これはこれで楽しいなって思います。なんかもう、「ダイ・ハード」みたいになってましたよね(笑)。
 +
 
 +
──そうですね(笑)。推理シーンに勝るぐらい、アクションのインパクトがすごいことになっているなと。
 +
 
 +
もちろん謎解きも見どころなんですが、その印象を上回る派手さがありますよね。でも今回は怪盗キッドが出てくる話なので、これくらい派手でいいのかなと思います。
 +
 
 +
──怪盗キッドが劇場版に登場するのは、2015年に公開された「名探偵コナン 業火の向日葵」以来、4年ぶりとなります。メインキャラクターとして劇場版に登場することが決まったときはどう感じられましたか?
 +
 
 +
案外早かったなという印象でした。毎年本編の最後に来年の劇場版の告知があるので、(昨年公開された)「ゼロの執行人」の収録のときはもう次回作のメインキャラクターがキッドになることは聞いていたんです。それがもう1年半くらい前になるんですかね。もう少し空くかなと思っていたのですが。
 +
 
 +
──「名探偵コナン」は長らく国民的アニメとして愛されていますが、2013年から6年連続で劇場版の興行収入を更新するなど、近年ますます注目が集まっていると感じます。そんなタイミングで、怪盗キッドがメインとなる劇場版が公開されるわけですが……。
 +
 
 +
興行収入を更新しているというのも、スタッフ一同としては、一生懸命作ったものに対してのご褒美のようなものと捉えていて、なので今回もいつも通り楽しく収録させていただきました。
 +
 
 +
──本編の内容を思い返してみても、収録現場はとても楽しそうです。
 +
 
 +
「コナン」はいろいろな事件が起こる作品ではあるんですが、収録自体はいたって和気あいあいと進むんです。劇場版は1日で録るので、今年も朝から夜の0時過ぎまで収録していました。その間はずっと集中していたわけですけど、すごく楽しい収録だったなという印象が残っていますね。
 +
 
 +
 
 +
<u>'''京極さんは、安室さんとは真逆のタイプの人'''</u>
 +
 
 +
──今回の劇場版では、京極真もキーパーソンとして活躍しています。劇場版で京極にスポットが当たるのは今回が初めてとなりますが。
 +
 
 +
京極さんはカッコいいですよね。僕は京極さんの不器用なところ嫌いじゃないです。園子に一途で、きっと空手と園子があればほかにはなんにもいらないんだろうなこの人は、みたいな感じがあって。でもその一途さが故に、愛情表現が不器用になってしまうところがある。去年の(「ゼロの執行人」にメインキャラクターとして登場した)安室さんとは真逆にいるようなタイプの人ですよね。
 +
 
 +
──純朴でちょっと天然な一面があったり、安室透とはまた違った魅力を持っていますよね。
 +
 
 +
あとは“漢”と書いて“おとこ”と読むみたいな部分もある(笑)。この劇場版を通して、京極さんのことを好きになる人はきっと多いんじゃないかなと思います。ただ、彼はもはや人間ではなくなってきているなって(笑)。クライマックスでも1人だけオーラが立ち昇って、もう別ジャンルのキャラクターになってましたからね。キッド個人としては、あまり関わりたくないです(笑)。
 +
 
 +
──園子はキッドのことになるとつい「キッド様」と目を輝かせてしまうので、京極の嫉妬の矛先はそのままキッドに向いてしまいます。
 +
 
 +
そうなんですよ。だから園子にはもう少し静かにしていてほしいですね(笑)。でも今回の劇場版の中で、キッドが京極さんとやり合うシーンがありますけど、なかなかに攻撃をかわしてますからね。キッドも相当じゃない?と。
 +
 
 +
──かわすほうが技術が必要だったりしますもんね。
 +
 
 +
そうそう、だからキッドは身体能力が高いんだなと思いました。
 +
 
 +
 
 +
<u>'''キッドからコナンに対する信頼'''</u>
 +
 
 +
──今回はキッドとコナンが共闘するシーンも見どころの1つだと思います。「天空の難破船(ロスト・シップ)」の収録の際は、コナン役の高山みなみさんと「コナンとキッドの距離が近づきすぎているかもしれないから、もう少し離れてみようか」というお話をされたそうですが、今回の劇場版でのキッドとコナンの距離感はいかがでしょうか?
 +
 
 +
いい距離感だと思いますよ。決して近からず、遠からずというか。やっぱりお互い信頼はおいていると思うんですけれど、根本にある“怪盗”と“探偵”という距離感は保っている。完成した映像を観て、改めていい距離感だなと思いました。
 +
 
 +
──収録中、そのあたりについて高山さんとはお話しされたんですか。
 +
 
 +
今回の劇場版では、コナンくんとキッドが、お互いに集めてきた情報をまとめていくような会話のシーンが多い。なので「これは説明としてどうだろう?」とか、そういったことは話しましたね。キャラクターそのものについてはお互い信頼しているし、言わずもがなの部分ではあるので。そういったことよりも、台本上でキッドがコナンに頼りすぎているかなと感じた部分があれば、セリフの捉え方やニュアンスで変化をつけたり、ちょっと言葉を入れ替えてみようかとか、そういったことについてよく話し合っていました。
 +
 
 +
──コナンに頼らずとも、キッドはキッドで考えて動いていると。
 +
 
 +
キッドもそれなりに切れ者なので。これぐらいの真実だったらキッド個人でも辿り着くことができるんじゃないかなと思う部分があれば、そういったところのニュアンスを相談したりします。ただ、推理はコナンくんのお家芸なので。そこはキッドもコナンを信頼しているところではあると思うんです。
 +
 
 +
──これまでのシリーズでもキッドとコナンが共闘するシーンはありましたが、今作は今まで以上に2人が一緒にいる時間が長かったですよね。
 +
 
 +
そうですね。ずーっと一緒にいますからね。コナンくんをシンガポールに連れてきたのもキッドですし。でもひどいですよね、スーツケースに入れて連れてくるなんて(笑)。
 +
 
 +
──まさかのスーツケースでしたからね(笑)。そんなキッドとコナンの関係性というのも、これまでの長い付き合いの中で徐々に変化している部分があるのかなと感じました。
 +
 
 +
キッドが初めて「名探偵コナン」に登場したときは、あくまでコナンの好敵手の立場として出ていて。「天空の難破船」のあたりくらいからかな。黒羽快斗の部分が「名探偵コナン」の作中にもチラつくようになって、少し変わってきた部分があるのかなと思います。最初に出会ったときは「怪盗はあざやかに獲物を盗み出す創造的な芸術家だが、探偵はその跡を見て難癖つけるただの批評家に過ぎないんだぜ?」と言っていたキッドが、今回の劇場版の中では「握った拳の中にまるで何かがあるように思わせるのがマジシャンで、その拳を開く前に中身を言い当てるのが探偵だろ?」っていう言い方をしてるんです。そういったセリフ1つとっても、ずいぶん変わったなと。コナンくんに対しての信頼っていうのは、やっぱり彼の中にも絶対あるんだと思います。
 +
 
 +
 
 +
<u>'''快斗と新一はいい友人に? ……それはどうでしょう(笑)'''</u>
 +
 
 +
──キッド個人としてはどうでしょう? 最初の頃と現在とでは、イメージが変わってきた部分はあるのでしょうか。
 +
 
 +
今回の劇場版の中でもそんなに“キッドキッド”してしゃべっていないんですよね。コナンくんと一緒にいるときは、かなりニュートラルな状態になっている。黒羽快斗の部分で接していることのほうが多くなってきたのかなとは思います。
 +
 
 +
──「コナン」に登場し始めた頃のキッドは、もう少しミステリアスな雰囲気がありました。
 +
 
 +
そうですよね。最近は「レディース&ジェントルメン!」なんて言いませんからね(笑)。
 +
 
 +
──あはは(笑)。確かにあまり聞かなくなりました。
 +
 
 +
以前よりも黒羽快斗という1人の青年の部分が色濃く出るようになった気がします。それも「天空の難破船」のあたりから砕けてきたのかなと。あのヤギを撫でていたあたりから(笑)。
 +
 
 +
──そういったキッドの姿を見ていると、快斗と新一はいい友人関係になれるんじゃないかなと思ったりもするのですが。
 +
 
 +
いやあ、どうでしょうねえ? どうなんでしょうかね?(笑) 結局のところは追う立場のものと、追われる立場のものですからね。
 +
 
 +
──なるほど……。ちなみに、山口さんは「名探偵コナン」で工藤新一と怪盗キッド、似た顔の2人のキャラクターを演じていますが、演じ分けはどういうふうに考えているのでしょうか。
 +
 
 +
それはもう感覚的なものですね。声も特別変えているわけではなく、それぞれに“工藤新一エッセンス”と“怪盗キッドエッセンス”みたいなものをちょっとずつ分けるという感じ。キッドが出てきてくれたことによって、意外と新一はクールなキャラクターではなく、熱血タイプなんだなっていうことがわかりました。なのでどちらかというとキッドにクールな部分を残して、新一からはそういう部分を削っていって。新一をアツい性格のキャラクターにしてみたら、意外と「あ、これでいいかも」と思うようになりました。
 +
 
 +
──確かに新一は物事に真っ直ぐで、キッドのほうが少し飄々としている印象があります。そういった部分も山口さんのお芝居から感じました。
 +
 
 +
あとは観てくれている皆さんが、そう聴き分けてくれている。僕自身の演じ分けとしては、新一のほうが真っ直ぐ見据えてしゃべっていて、キッドのほうが上から見下ろしているような感じ。そういうイメージを持ちながら演じています。
 +
 
 +
 
 +
<u>'''懐かしくも新しいキッドのコスチューム'''</u>
 +
 
 +
──先日、金曜ロードSHOW!で「世紀末の魔術師」が放送された際にはSNSも大きく賑わっていました。中には「キッドが初恋」と語るファンの方もいて。
 +
 
 +
……やっぱり、あの頃のキッドのほうがみんな好きなんですかね?(笑) 皆さんの反応を見ていて、キザなキッドのほうがお好きなのかなって思ったりしました。
 +
 
 +
──ちょっとミステリアスでキザなところがあって、幼心にはいわゆる少女マンガのヒーローっぽいキッドに惹かれるところがあったのかもしれないですね。
 +
 
 +
でもねえ、小学1年生の女の子の家のベランダに飛び降りて、「飛び続けるのに疲れて、羽を休めていたただの魔法使いですよ」みたいなこと……(笑)。改めて観て、ちょっと「ふふ」って笑っちゃいました。
 +
 
 +
──そんなキッドがカッコいいと思います(笑)。そんなふうに少女たちの“初恋”でありながら今も愛され続けているキッドですが、山口さんは彼の人気の理由はどこにあると考えていますか?
 +
 
 +
やっぱり、白いシルクハットにタキシードにマントという、キッドのあのビジュアルからしてカッコいいですよね。(黒羽快斗を主人公に描く)「まじっく快斗」自体が青山先生の中でも初期の作品ですから、怪盗キッドのキャラクターデザインもずいぶん前にされているものだと思うんです。アイコン的にキャラクターの出で立ちを作り込んであったと思うんですが、どこか懐かしい雰囲気のデザインでありながら、かえって今だと新しく感じるというか。今日劇場で観ていても思いましたけど、やっぱりキッドのコスチュームはすごく映えますよね。そういったシルエットからも魅力を感じさせるキャラクターだなと思います。
 +
 
 +
──キッドの存在は目を引きますし、彼がいると画面が華やぎますよね。
 +
 
 +
日本で“名探偵”といえば金田一耕助や明智小五郎が挙がると思うんですが、例えば今、街頭インタビューで「名探偵といえば?」と聞いたら、そのあたりを飛び越えて「コナン」と答える人も多いんじゃないかと思うんです。それくらい大きな存在になっていると感じるんですが、キッドも「コナン」に出るようになってから認知される部分は大きくなったと思いますし、同じように「怪盗といえば?」という質問をしたら「怪盗キッド」と答えてくれる人も増えてるんじゃないでしょうか。
 +
 
 +
 
 +
<u>劇場版を観て一番気になったのは……</u>
 +
 
 +
──では改めて、今回の劇場版の見どころを教えてください。
 +
 
 +
たっくさんありますよ。今回は海外が舞台ということで、圧倒的に映像がきれい。すごく細かく描写されているので、観ていたらシンガポールに行きたくなりました(笑)。そこは本当にスタッフさんたちが熱を持って作ってくださっているんだなと思います。あとは、物語的にはコナンとキッドがずっと一緒の時間を過ごして、共闘する。それが1つの軸としてある中で、もう1つの軸である京極さんと園子の話もうまく組み合わさってくるんです。それに魅力的な敵キャラクターも登場します。なのでどのキャラクターの目線で見るかで、物語の見え方や感じ方も変わるのではないかなと。とは言いつつ、意外と登場人物は少ないので、それが話をわかりやすくしている要因なのかなと思います。見どころとなると……やっぱり今回はアクションなのかなあ。
 +
 
 +
──相当な迫力がありますもんね。
 +
 
 +
後半は手に汗握る、ドキドキするアクションが楽しめると思います。人間離れした京極さんのアクションが楽しめる一方で(笑)、彼のメンタルも描かれているので、そのあたりも注目かなと。彼の弱さみたいな部分も垣間見えるので、そういったところを見ると「やっぱりまだ高校生なんだな」って安心もしました。あとは……今日試写を観ていて一番気になったのが、エンディングでみんなが飛行機で帰国するシーンがあるんですけど、あのときのコナンくんはまたスーツケースの中に入ってるのかなって気になって(笑)。
 +
 
 +
──確かに……コナンくんの姿は映されてなかったですね(笑)。
 +
 
 +
……見どころを聞かれて、答えるのはそこじゃないだろうって感じですよね(笑)。

<u>'''It's totally like it's “Die Hard” now.'''</u>
 +
 
 +
---You've seen “Fist of Blue Sapphire” Today for the first time. (This interview was conducted April 2nd before the on stage greeting.<br>
 +
{Tweet: If the Conan mass media comes then Wakana-chan will come too so it'll be a tale of going to see a movie with Ran~^^}<br>
 +
Kappei (To be known as K): I saw it, and it was awesome! The footage wasn't complete when we did the recording so there wasn't any music or sound effects yet...it was incomplete. So when I got to see the whole thing completed I thought that it was really exciting. Moreover it felt like the scale for this movie had become even bigger. Like...superhuman almost. (Laughs).
 +
 
 +
--Right? It felt like there were so many surprises in the second half that came one after another. I think I'd need more than one viewing to process it all. (Laughs).<br>
 +
K: I feel the same way. When we were doing the recording It was hard to tell how the artwork would turn out. “Huh? Wait how is this supposed to be? Whoa, that's really how it went down?” Was a lot of the talk between everyone. Though it's because it's a work that went past it's limits that it was so much fun. It's totally like “Die Hard” now. (Laughs).
 +
 
 +
---Totally. (Laughs) The Action scene have an impact that feel like they exceed the deduction scenes.<br>
 +
K: Of course there are highlights to look out for to solve the mystery, but you really would get that impression from how flashy this movie is. Though since Kid showed up this time I think that the movie being full of flash was a good thing.
 +
 
 +
--Kaitou Kid last appeared in a movie in 2015 “Detective Conan: Sunflowers of Inferno” --so 4 years ago. How did you feel when it was decided he'd be a main character in this film?<br>
 +
K: I was surprised to see that he was back so soon. Every year at the end of the movie they have a small preview for the next one, --which would have been “Zero's Enforcer” last year. During the recording of that movie it had already been decided that Kid would be the lead for the next one. Which was about a year and a half beforehand. I thought there'd be a little more time before we'd see him again.
 +
 
 +
--- “Detective Conan” is an anime that has been long loved nationwide, but for six years since 2013 the box office revenues for the movies has only been rising, and it feels like in recent years they've really garnered a lot of attention. So for Kid to be the star of a movie with timing like this...<br>
 +
K: Even with the box office revenues rising, the staff puts all they've got into making the movies, so while it comes off as them working hard for an award it was still a fun atmosphere during recording this time around as always.
 +
 
 +
---Even looking back at the contents of the movie itself, it seems the recording studio is a fun place.<br>
 +
K: Although “Conan” is the type of series where all kinds of cases happen, the recording sessions themselves proceed with a congenial air. We usually record the lines for the movie in one day, so this year too we were recording from early morning till midnight. We were engrossed in recording the whole time, but the impression after it was all done was just how much fun it was.
 +
 
 +
<u>'''Kyogoku is the complete opposite from Amuro'''</u>
 +
 
 +
--In this movie Makoto Kyogoku is the key person. This is the first movie where Kyogoku has been in this position...<br>
 +
K: Kyogoku sure is cool, right? I don't dislike how awkward he is. I feel like he's the type that as long as he has Sonoko and Karate he really doesn't need anything else. However, since he is fully dedicated to Sonoko, he finds it hard awkward to express his affections. Amuro who was the main character in “Zero's Enforcer” is different –Kyogoku is the complete opposite from Amuro.
 +
 
 +
---He's pure and just a little bit airheaded –his charm is quite different than Amuro's, huh?<br>
 +
K: He puts the 'man' in manliness. (laughs). After seeing this movie I feel like the amount of Kyogoku fans will grow a bit. However, I feel like at this point he's no longer human. (laughs). At the climax his aura is incredible –it's almost as if he's a character from another genre completely. I think Kid will personally want to avoid getting involved with him. (laughs).
 +
 
 +
--Because whenever Sonoko thinks of Kid, she refers to him as “Kid-sama” and her eyes light up, Kyogoku bares his jealousy at Kid and faces him down, right?<br>
 +
K: That's right. It's probably why he wants Sonoko to be quiet a bit (laughs). However, in this movie Kid and Kyogoku have a scene where they fight, but they do a good job of avoiding each others attacks. Maybe Kid's a worthy opponent?
 +
 
 +
---He would need quite the technique to dodge those attacks, huh?<br>
 +
K: That's right. It's why I think that Kid's actually pretty strong.
 +
 
 +
<u>'''Kid's trust in Conan.'''</u>
 +
 
 +
--This time around Kid and Conan have a scene where they fight on a united front. For the movie “The Lost Ship of the sky” Conan's voice actress Minami Takayama mentioned during recording that “Perhaps Kid and Conan are getting to close –maybe they need to back off a bit”. For this movie, what would you say the distance between Conan and Kid is?<br>
 +
K: I think they've got a good sense of distance. I don't think it's easily defined whether they're really close or far apart...I think they've just got a good sense of mutual trust in each other. I think the foundation for this is the sense of distance maintained between a “phantom thief” and a “detective”. Once I got to see the completed movie, I really thought once again that they have a good sense of distance.
 +
 
 +
--During the recording did you talk to Ms. Takayama about what she thought of this?<br>
 +
K: In the movie there are a lot of scenes where Conan and Kid are gathering info together. Because of this conversations would come up like “How do we go about explaining this” and so on. Since the characters themselves have so much trust in each other, there are things that go without saying between them. If there are parts of the script where it does feel like Conan and Kid are relying on each other a bit too much, we change the nuance in the lines and the pretext, and if need be discuss changing the wording. She and I would talk about that quite often during recording.
 +
 
 +
--- Even without relying on Conan, Kid does and thinks his own way.<br>
 +
K: Kid is a pretty sharp guy, so if there comes a time where one would wonder why he wouldn't be able to arrive at the truth on his own, We discuss the nuance of the lines. Conan's specialty is his deductions, so I think that's what Kid relies on and trusts Conan to do.
 +
 
 +
--There are scenes where Conan and Kid fight on a united front in the series, but this movie is the longest time they've been in each others company.<br>
 +
K: That's right. They're together the whoooole time. It was Kid who brought Conan to Singapore after all. Though he's really cruel bringing him along in a suitcase (laughs.)
 +
 
 +
--He couldn't have possibly used just the suitcase, (laughs). Though despite things Conan and Kid have a history with each other, and it feels like through their long interactions that their relationship is slowly beginning to change.<br>
 +
K: When Kid first appeared in “Detective Conan” he already occupied the position of being a worthy rival. I think “The lost ship of the sky” more or less confirmed it? I think a bit of Kaito Kuroba that dazzles in the “Detective Conan” series is what has changed a little bit. At the beginning when they first met, Kid said “A phantom thief is an artist who steals dazzling game, while a Detective looks at those traces and overly criticizes them, you know?” Though this time around he says “The magician clenches his fist as if he's hiding something, and it's a Detective's role to guess what's hiding in it before the fist opens, right?” Although it's just one line it shows a whole lot of change. So I think within Kid there is a define amount of trust for Conan.
 +
 
 +
<u>'''...Are Kaitou and Shinichi good friends? ….I dunno about that. (laughs)...'''</u>
 +
 
 +
--What is Kid like personally? From when we first met him to now, it feels like parts of his visage have changed, right?<br>
 +
K: In this movie, there's not as much talk of Kid in general, really. When Kid and Conan are together, they're in a neutral state so I feel like there's way more contact with the Kaito Kuroba side of himself.
 +
 
 +
--When Kid first appeared in “Conan” it felt like he had a more enigmatic air about himself.<br>
 +
K: That's right. Lately he doesn't even say “Ladies and Gentleman” anymore. (laughs).
 +
 
 +
--Ahaha (Laughs). It's true he doesn't say that much anymore.<br>
 +
K: More than before it feels like there's a pronounced showing of the part of him that is Kaito Kuroba. A lot like there was in “The lost ship in the sky”. I feel like it really broke down then...right around the time where he was petting that goat. (laughs).
 +
 
 +
--On that note, when one looks at Kid, it kind of feels like he and Shinichi might become good friends..<br>
 +
K: Maan....I wonder about that. How would that work? (Laughs) Ultimately I feel like one would pursue and the other would be pursued.
 +
 
 +
--I see. On that note, in “Detective Conan” you voice Shinichi Kudo and Kaitou Kid to characters who have the same appearance. When you're voice acting what kind of things are you thinking to keep them separate?<br>
 +
K: That's mostly intuitive for me now. It's not really like I do much to distinguish them voice-wise, it's more like “This is the essence of Shinichi Kudo” vs “This is the essence of Kaitou Kid”, and I compartmentalize the little things that way. Because of Kid's appearances I've found that Shinichi isn't actually calm and collected character, but he's actually the hot blooded type. Meanwhile I'd have to say that Kid is those cool and suave parts left over from Shinichi. So when I look at Shinichi as a hotblooded character I think that surprisingly “This works out”.
 +
 
 +
--It's true that overall Shinichi gives the impression of being is a fairly straightforward guy while Kid is a bit more aloof. I do get that feeling from your performance.<br>
 +
K: And I think that everyone watching picks up on that difference too. When I'm acting for Shinichi I do think of him as having a straightforward gaze as he talks. Meanwhile Kid feels more like he's looking down from above. That's the kind of feeling I go with when I'm voice acting.
 +
 
 +
<u>'''A familiar yet nostalgic new costume for Kid.'''</u>
 +
 
 +
--The other day on the Friday Road Show! The “Last Magician of the Century” was broadcast, and it was a buzz on social media. A lot of fans were talking about “Kid being their first love.”<br>
 +
K: ….Figures back then everyone really loved Kid huh? (Laughs) I was thinking to myself that Kid sure had a lot of fans when he was more pompous.
 +
 
 +
--It had a lot to do with the mysterious air of pompousness he had. He was to a the childlike mind the hero of a shoujo manga. It was that Kid who captured the hearts of many perhaps.<br>
 +
K: Though jumping from a First grader's veranda and saying “I'm a magician who's grown tired of flying and am resting my wings” is kind of....(laughs). I watched it again and couldn't help chuckling to myself.
 +
 
 +
--I think Kid is at his coolest when he's like that though. (laughs). This is how he became many young girls' “first love”, and that love stays with them even now. What do you think is the reason for Kid's enduring popularity?<br>
 +
K: It's gotta be the white silk hat, and the tuxedo with the white cape. It's that visage of Kid that's super cool, right? Aoyama-sensei's artwork of Kaito Kuroba from “Magic Kaito” has been the same since it's inception. Kaitou Kid's character design has been set like that for a while now. I think the outfit he created has made him an icon of sorts, through it being a nostalgic design while also feeling new even now. Today when I was watching the movie I was thinking to myself Kid's costume really does shine. I think from even his silhouette that his character exudes charm.
 +
 
 +
--Kid's existence really captures the eyes. When he appears the whole scene is dazzling.<br>
 +
K: When Japan thinks “famous detectives” Kousuke Kindaichi and Goro Akechi come to mind, but right now if you were to take a man on the street interview and ask people “what do you think a famous detective is” a lot of folk would probably answer “Conan” I think. It does feel like it's become something that huge, but there's an awareness that Kid appearing in “Conan” is a part of it's major success. At the same time if you asked “What do you think a phantom thief is” the amount of folks answering “Kaitou Kid” is on the rise.
 +
 
 +
<u>'''Upon seeing the movie, the most curious thing is...'''</u>
 +
 
 +
--So asking once again, what are the highlights of the movie?<br>
 +
K: There are a whole lot. Since the setting is overseas, the film is overwhelmingly beautiful. All of the finer details are painstakingly drawn and honestly after seeing it I really want to go to Singapore. (laughs). I really think the staff approached drawing this movie with a lot of zeal. Beyond that, there's the story of Kid and Conan spending a lot of time together and fighting a united fight. Though that's one part of the film, another is Kyogoku and Sonoko's story really ting things together. Oh and the villain characters have their charm too, but it's interesting that even with all these different viewpoints the feel of the story itself doesn't change. Actually it's a little surprising how few characters show up in this. I think that is a factor as to why the story is pretty easy to understand. Though the biggest highlight this time around would have to be the action scenes.
 +
 
 +
--They have a lot of intensity don't they?<br>
 +
K: During the second half I was clenching my sweaty palms. I really enjoyed the heart-stopping action. Especially the ones starring the man who has exceeded humanity itself, Kyogoku (laughs). His mentality was drawn really well too, so take notice of that if you can. One can see his weak side as well, and despite everything you'd think “Oh wow he really is just a high school student, huh” and feel a bit relieved. Though the thing that got me most curious during the preview showing was the ending scene where everyone was returning to Japan...was Conan really in the suitcase that whole time? I'm so curious. (laughs).
 +
 
 +
--It's true we didn't even get to see Conan in the ending. (Laughs).<br>
 +
K: You asked me about the highlights yet I feel like that's not the answer I should have given. (laughs).
