			'''Interview with Takeharu Sakurai ''' Host: Chiaki Kuroki


			'''Q&A Format'''<br>

			'''Q:''' How did Sakurai feel about appearing on the program?<br>
			'''A: Sakurai said''' he was very nervous during the recording. Although he joked that it had become a good memory “at the end of his life,” he also suggested that appearing once was probably enough for him.


			'''Q:''' Why is Sakurai generally reluctant to appear publicly or express his personal views?<br>
			'''A:''' He explained that, as a fiction writer, he dislikes having his own beliefs or opinions overlap with his work. He feels that if audiences learn the author’s real-life stance on an issue, it can negatively affect how they interpret the story and damage the “dream” or illusion of the work. For that reason, he believes fiction writers should avoid exposing their personal ideologies too openly.


			'''Q:''' Since when has Sakurai been involved in the Detective Conan films?<br>
			'''A:''' He said his involvement began in 2013, with Private Eye in the Distant Sea.


			'''Q:''' Did Sakurai reveal any behind-the-scenes information about Detective Conan?<br>
			'''A:''' Yes. He said that Detective Conan is an ongoing story, and that Gosho Aoyama already has in mind what will happen in the future. Sakurai stated that he has been told the core elements concerning the Black Organization, including its current state and where it is headed.


			'''Q:''' Why was Sakurai told information about the Black Organization?<br>
			'''A:''' He explained that he needed that knowledge in order to write stories involving the organization properly. Since the films cannot contradict or interfere with the future direction Aoyama has planned, Sakurai said that such information was necessary for writing Black Organization-related films.


			'''Q:''' Did Sakurai confirm that the Conan movies are not a completely separate parallel world?<br>
			'''A:''' Yes. He said they are not entirely a parallel world, especially when it comes to the Black Organization. This implies that the films must maintain a certain level of consistency with the main story.


			'''Q:''' Has Sakurai written multiple Black Organization films?<br>
			'''A:''' Yes. He said he has written two films involving the Black Organization, and that knowing the planned direction of the organization was important for writing them.


			'''Q:''' Did Sakurai reveal whether he knows the identity of the Black Organization’s boss?<br>
			'''A:''' He strongly implied that he knows more than he can say, but refused to reveal anything.


			'''Q:''' What kind of real-life professionals would Sakurai want to use as models for Conan characters?<br>
			'''A:''' He mentioned a former lawyer and a doctor, saying he would not necessarily cast them as their exact original professions, but rather as different specialists within the same field, such as a prosecutor or judge.


			'''Q:''' Why does Sakurai prefer that approach?<br>
			'''A:''' He explained that when former professionals play their exact old jobs, their performances may become realistic but also somewhat restricted, because they may worry about misrepresenting their own profession. However, if they play a related profession in the same field, they can still bring realism while also drawing on their impressions of people they have known, which helps create a stronger character.


			'''Q:''' Was Kuroki interested in appearing in a future Sakurai work?<br>
			'''A:''' Yes. Kuroki jokingly asked Sakurai to include him as a character someday, even if only in a small role. Sakurai responded positively, suggesting that if he were used as inspiration, he might be portrayed as a producer or director.
