Sankei newspaper 2012.6.30 interview: http://sankei.jp.msn.com/life/news/120630/bdy12063007000000-n1.htm It was mentioned in a post by Black Demon earlier. The interview kind of got ignored in the middle of the Bourbon stuff, and there were some fakes that added details floating around that got confused with the original. The Sankei interview linked above appears to be legitimate. Only a little was about the actual story; most was about Gosho's past and development as an author. The story-relevant bits were these two lines: the first is about if DC will hit 100 Volumes, the second is about the boss. Q: 今年1月3日の「青山剛昌ふるさと館」などが主催したイベントで「コナンは100巻まで続かない」と発言されたとか? A: 「続くかもしれないし、続かないかも…。でも、結末は決めていますよ」 Q: コナンに登場する犯罪組織の黒幕は、男ですか、女ですか A: 「それは言えない。でも、今までにフルネームで登場している人です」 From what I can tell, the only new information is Gosho's response specified the boss's full name (フルネーム) rather than just "name". There was a translation by Mina in the DC spoiler DCbox "a person who has appeared with his/her full name" HOWEVER I think a corroboration by another skilled translator is necessary before it is safe to reject the more conservative reading "the boss's full name has appeared" - something which Gosho has said before. (subject フルネームで?)

Not sure, if the whole interview has already been translated to English somewhere before. Anyway, here we go: English Translation:

I've been trying to collect all the comments Gosho made through Shiho in Sherry's Soliloquy. I've collected about 50ish, so I thought that I should share.^^ I admit, I didn't share them before, since most of these aren't really relevant to the plot, but it's nice to see how Gosho's brain works, I think. Proof that these comments are written by Gosho: The above website says 青山先生入魂の書き下ろしページ(笑) (Page where Aoyama-sensei writes his heart and soul down (laughs)) next to シェリーのひとりごと (Sherry's Soliloquy / Sherry talking to herself /etc.) Gosho mentioned in an interview that he writes these comments: I'll post the comments from the most recent to the oldest I could find. Also I might sacrifice accuracy for readability in some places, so beware... If you have a better translation, let me know! I'll also bold the ones that I think are plot-relevant, and italicize the ones that are interesting. Warning: IMAGE HEAVY I'll match the images with file numbers later, when I have the time.

I asked on a Japanese channel how to translate the one I wasn’t able to, and they said http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/images/a/a1/SherrysSoliloquy2012-07-01.JPG “Why don't those of you who are not busy try painting the missing part on page 2?” no idea what she means though, I don’t see any

so… I translated from 2012-06-03 819 on the wiki, but I couldn’t translate one of them and the others might not be amazingly translated but I guess it’s better than nothing… anyway I needed help on 1 name “2012-06-03 819 密室なら榎本君の出番よね♥ If it's a closed room, then it's Enomoto-kun's turn♥” the kanji for that name can be read in multiple ways, I tried searching the wiki for some of its readings but I couldn’t find any name that would fit in the picture, what do you guys think the name was supposed to be? it could be Emoto, Eimoto, Enomoto, Kusumoto, Enokimoto etc.…

Gosho just updated with a Christmas version! If you go to the Conatsu website you can hear music with the picture.
