| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Bonus Material Part 1 - Interview with Gosho Aoyama'''<br>
| |
| − | We were talking with master Aoyama while he was working on the [[Magic Kaito Volume 4#Omake|Omake]]!!
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Kaitou's clothes are difficult to draw!!'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Q:''' Which of the stories from [[Magic Kaito Volume 4|volume 4]] do you like the most?<br>
| |
| − | '''Aoyama:''' Hm, "[[Magic Kaito Volume 4#Black Star|Black Star]]", where [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]] and [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] confront each other.<br>
| |
| − | '''Q:''' What's the most difficult for you when drawing Kaito?<br>
| |
| − | '''Aoyama:''' It's really bothersome to draw his costume... (laughs)<br>
| |
| − | '''Q:''' And what do you enjoy the most?<br>
| |
| − | '''Aoyama:''' Oh, I always have a lot of fun...! In ''[[Detective Conan]]'', I always draw the hunter. Now it was just fun to draw the hunted one for once.<br>
| |
| − | '''Q:''' What is the image of such a phantom?<br>
| |
| − | '''Aoyama:''' He's just like ghost who suddenly appears; a daredevil and a thief who's got style. I'm imagining [[Arsène Lupin]]. (laughs)
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''[[Magic Kaito Volume 5|Volume 5]] will be released... during this century!!'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Q:''' Can we hope for an appearance by [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]?<br>
| |
| − | '''Aoyama:''' Someday he will appear. This will be fun!<br>
| |
| − | '''Q:''' Are there any other stories you'd like to draw?<br>
| |
| − | '''Aoyama:''' I dream about a prison break, but who would throw a student into prison...? This causes quite a headache for me... (laughs)<br>
| |
| − | '''Q:''' When will volume 5 be released?<br>
| |
| − | '''Aoyama:''' Who knows?! Maybe during this century! (laughs)<br>
| |
| − | '''Q:''' Do you want to leave a message for the readers of ''[[Magic Kaito]]''?<br>
| |
| − | '''Aoyama:''' I'm really sorry that you had to wait 13 years for [[Magic Kaito Volume 4|volume 4]]... Hahaha... During the time [[Magic Kaito Volume 1|volume 1]] was released I was only 4 or 5 years older than Kaito, but by now the age difference is way bigger. This doesn't make it any easier to come up with good stories. (laughs) I'm grateful for every kind of support!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Speech bubble of Gosho Aoyama's [[Gosho Aoyama (Character)|self-caricature]]: "Hello, I'm Aoyama! After finally managing to complete the fourth volume, I was convinced to draw some bonus pages. Have fun!"

| |
| − | Yippee! That's what I waited for! Magic Kaito, volume 4!! It's been 13 years!! This took way too long, Aoyama-sensei! But good things come to those who wait. What's missing now is just an anime for this volume!! ☺<br>
| |
| − | K@ppei Yamaguchi
| |
| − | | |
| − | PS: Don't you dare to change the cast!
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''[[Minami Takayama]]'''<br>
| |
| − | Voice of [[Aoko Nakamori]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | Born May 5th in [[Tokyo]]. Also voices [[Conan Edogawa]] and was married to Gosho Aoyama.
| |
| − | | |
| − | On a day in January 2007, during dub recording for ''Detective Conan''...<br>
| |
| − | '''Takayama:''' "Congratulations, Aoyama, that you've managed to complete the fourth volume. You've waited a really long time for that, isn't it, dear readers?"<br>
| |
| − | '''Iwai:''' "Do we go eat something when the recordings are done?" ([[Yukiko Iwai]], voice of [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]]!)<br>

| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''Topics: "Black Star" Special in the "Conan" TV series!'''<br>
| |
| − | "Black Star" was part of a 2-Hour-''Detective Conan''-TV Special that ran in January of 2001. Its name was: "Atsumerareta Meitantei! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid". ["Gathering of Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid"] There's a magnificent scene during which Kid gets confronted with Shinichi Kudo. Because the adaptation was set in Conan's world, the magic scene with Akako was left out.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''Bonus Material Part 3 - Targets and Counter Measures'''<br>
| |
| − | Kid's motives have been seen through! There's nothing in the way of an arrest now!
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''TOP SECRET - For use against Kaitou Kid'''<br>
| |
| − | File from the second division of the police headquarters
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''TOP SECRET - Kaitou Kid's targets and other aims'''<br>
| |
| − | * [[Blue Birthday]] - sapphire
| |
| − | * [[Green Dream]] - emerald
| |
| − | * [[Crystal Mother]] - topaz
| |
| − | * [[Red Tear]] - ruby
| |
| − | * [[Black Star]] - black pearl
| |
| − | * [[Golden Eye]] - chrysoberyl
| |
| − | * [[Dark Knights]] - black opal
| |
| − | * [[Blue Wonder]] - aquamarine
| |
| − | | |
| − | Kaitou Kid, international criminal number 1412, targeted works of art and gems from the best museums in the world. If one looks at his latest targets, a new pattern arises. Kid seemingly goes for the largest gems in the world now. He prefers objects with colors in their names. Nobody knows why this is the case, but there's no doubt that it will help in the arrest of Kid. Furthermore, Kid, who traveled around the world in the past, seems to concentrate on gems in and around Tokyo currently.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''[[Ginzo Nakamori]]:''' Hahaha! I have analyzed Kaitou Kid's modus operandi for three days and nights. This information is top secret!!
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Analysis 01: Different colors'''<br>
| |
| − | Two of the gems Kid targeted were blue. But the "Blue Wonder" wasn't chosen by Kid himself. [[Jirokichi Suzuki|Jirokichi]], general adviser for the [[Suzuki]] financial corporation, challenged Kid to get the gem. So we can assume that Kid aims for gems with different colors. Pink or rose should be a possibility too in the future...
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Analysis 02: Future targets'''<br>
| |
| − | We surmise that Kid wants to steal all the largest gems on Earth step-by-step. So he will choose gems he wasn't targeting in the past. These would be, among other things, diamonds, garnets and lapis lazuli. A diamond is very probable. He already targeted Europe's biggest diamond in the past, but...
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Assessment:''' The largest diamond in the world with a yellow or pink color could be Kid's next target!!
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''[[Saguru Hakuba]]:''' We would surely catch him if I was present! But I don't have any time!
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are countless gems in a lot of different colors, so there is no sure way to make a prognosis. More than two hundred gems in different colors are part of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_Pyramid_of_Hope Aurora collection] in New York alone that cause the building to sparkle. "Red Tear" is classified as a ruby, but actually, only red corundums as classified as rubies. "Red Tear" would actually be classified as a sapphire. A lot of gems which are part of the same type get different labels and because of this, no safe prediction can be made.

| |
| − | '''Kaito-kun's Gallery'''<br>
| |
| − | How well can a cat named Kaito disguise itself?
| |
| − | | |
| − | Image captions from upper right to bottom left:
| |
| − | * Together with my rival Conan...
| |
| − | * Congratulations for the release of volume 4!
| |
| − | * '''Kaito Kuroba:''' He can't compare to me!
| |
| − | * During summer you wear a kimono.
| |

| |
| − | * Of course I'm not scared of heights.
| |

| − | いや、私事で恐縮なのですが、私の描く「名探偵コナン」めがたらたらと連載10年を越え、コナンの宿敵である黒ずくめの組織のメンバーもかなりの人数を出しました。ジン、ウォッカ、テキーラ、シェリー、ベルモットetc..<br>
| |
| − | そう、こいつらの名前はお酒なのです。そして唯一残っている有名で、名前にしてクールなのは「ラム」のみ・・・<br>
| |
| − | しかしこの名は日本中の・・・いや、今や世界中のまんがファンの心に刻み込まれ、皆、悟っております・・・この名を名乗っていいキャラは誰であるべきかと・・・ なにより私自身が・・・

| |

| − | ラムは作者にとって思い入れの深いキャラ。いやそれだけでなく、世界のファンのためにも使えない。
| |
| − | | |
| − | でも、いずれ使っちゃうかもしれないとのことなので、その時は笑って許してあげましょう・・・
| |

| − | ラムはカクテルのベースなどに使われるアルコール度数の高い蒸留酒。今のところジン、ウオッカ、テキーラなどこの手のアルコールは全て男性に使われている。
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 一方で、女性に付けられるコードネームはシェリーやベルモット、キールなど、全てワインの一種かワインが含まれるカクテルである。
| |
| − | | |
| − | 法則どおりならラムは男性に付けられるべきだが、もし名探偵コナンで使われるのなら、これまで慎重に使用を保留してきた人気ヒロインの名前となるだけに、適当なキャラには使い難いのではないかと考えられる。
| |
| − | | |
| − | 法則を破りラムちゃんのような美少女メンバーに付けられるのか、ラムちゃんの名を汚さないようなイケメンにつけられるのか、組織の重要な役割を担うキャラに付けられるのか。今後の展開は楽しみである。

Gin, Vodka, Tequila, Sherry, Vermouth…<br>Right. Their names are all alcohol.

| − | 2007’s Autumn Interview [I started thinking about the last arc]<br>“When I started reading, I was just an elementary schooler but now I am university student" [I felt like ‘Ehh? Did so much time really passed?’ once again. So I should draw something that would make my fans happy.]<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | That’s 14th year (TN: 2007) after Detective Manga [Meitantei Conan] started publishing in Shogakukan’s [Shounen Sunday]. 120 mln. copies were sold and this month vol. 59 is out for sale.<br>Story follows high school detective, Kudo Shinichi, who had taken the name of Edogawa Conan after being turned into a child by some mysterious organization. He tries to catch the organization while solving different cases…<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | [Mysteries are interesting because you can draw them in different genres. If the criminal is a player, then it’s sports world, an actor - the world of theater, you see. Every time I’m drawing it with fresh emotions, because of a feeling I’m going to meet a new world. That’s hard but I don’t get bored]<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | It’s 11th year after TV anime started, and with live-action drama confirmed in December, this series are a good example of media mix.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | [There’s no pressure. Rather than pressure, I think of it as fun? Hehehe. Besides, I’m more of intuitive person. I’m lucky to draw by a hunch.]<br>The latest issue had the color theme. [The color is easy for understanding even for children. I usually include things that are familiar and known to everyone into the cases]<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Drawing murders without any doubts…<br>There are some negative effects about long-running series. Case are becoming to be more and more difficult with time. Meitantei Conan tries to keep the same tone since vol. 1.<br>[Don’t make it too professional. Using hard words and riddles is easy, but the reader won’t understand it]
| |
| − | | |
| − | One of the important things is to be considerate about crime.<br>[I’m not treating murders lightly, but in order not to disappoint my readers, I let it proceed without obstacles. I want them to read it eagerly.]<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Right now there are 624 files.<br>[If I can’t come up with a story no matter what, I have around 12 hours to arrange my thoughts. Although sometimes I can decide it in 4 hours… When I got stuck, I start thinking if I can implement elements of stories I already drawn, go for a lazy walk, watch DVDs. Try to change my mood]<br>

| − | The interview was carried out in Tokyo workplace. After look at the IC recorder that was on desk, he immediately takes it.<br>[So small. That’s incredible now]<br>That’s Aoyama for you. He can be amused by everything. He was born in Tottori, Daiei-machi (now called Hokuei). He used to explore mountains all the time when he was a kid. [That’s why it’s easy for me to draw expeditions. Conan’s actions are all my experience.]<br>

| − | After graduating from the university, he refused to become an art teacher his father wanted him to be, but [now he’s my best supporter.

| − | '''First, please tell the details on how the serializations began.'''<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Seimaru Amagi (the writer for Kindaichi)}}: At the time we started Kindaichi Case Files, genuine mystery manga using tricks were hopeless. When I started this job, there were a few themes that I wanted to do, and mystery manga was one of them. I thought of plans according to that.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Fumiya Sato (the illustrator for Kindaichi)}}: For me, after returning from a trip, there was a probe about Kindaichi from the editorial department. At the time, it didn't sell, so it was the time when I thought about things like “what should I do next?”<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Gosho Aoyama}}: Same feel for me. In my case, I was probed, “Since Kindaichi is popular, can do you do that kind of manga for Shonen Sunday?” At first, though, I had no interest at all. It would be a lot of trouble, you see.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: You were already drawing Magic Kaito at the time, though, right?<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: That's thief material, you see. For thief material, you only have to steal something so it's easy.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: By nature, children love mysteries, and we read mystery novels when we were small, too. For manga, I thought that I could do it if I stretched it long with mysteries.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: But when you actually do it, you understand why no one does it. Lines are long, and it's a lot of trouble.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: At the beginning of Kindaichi's serialization, I thought it would only last about a year.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: I, too, thought that it would only last about three months, since it's difficult to continue material-wise.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: And then you do it at a weekly pace, so it's too unreasonable.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: But Kindaichi served as quite a reference. I practically copied the part where the culprit is completely black.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Everyone: (Laughs wildly)<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: That's Sato-sensei's invention. In the original work, I only wrote, “make sure you cannot identify the person.”<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: They're merely black, that's all.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: But you can't tell who it is, and it feels eerie.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: There's a rule to it, isn't there? You draw the same body type for both men and women. Then, when the culprit is revealed, even if the body type changes no one makes a joke about it.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: In novels, you explain the evidence, culprit, etc. in the text, but in manga, you can deftly draw them somewhere in the panel to build your trick.<br> | |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: Mysteries are basically novels, so visual mysteries were untouched. When I realized that, I thought that I could do it for a long time. Meanwhile, I'll continue to give Sato-sensei trouble.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''Do you verify your tricks?'''<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: For the trick that locks the door from the outside with tape, I got the editor to go outside and test it. But for tricks involving sealed rooms, I must show all the room beforehand for the trick. That is quite difficult.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Drawing-wise, drawing apart the characters must be a lot of trouble.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: A lot of characters appear in Kindaichi at once – drawing apart seems like a lot of trouble.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: I don't put much effort into drawing apart anymore (laughs). When I draw, things like “I might draw this tear-inducing, good-things-saying character the same way I drew that mean lady” happen.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''What about the characters' names?'''<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: For me, I match with the theme of the work – for example, if the story was about the sky, I would give bird-related names. I get letters like “this time, [the names are based on] birds, right?” This is for self-satisfaction, though.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: We don't use realistic names, do we?<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: We try not to repeat the mood of the previous names. Characters that don't appear for long lasts only about three chapters, up to maybe 15 chapters, so in a sense the characters are built on the name. Give dubious names to dubious guys.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: I see.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: For forsaken heroins, we may use kanji's meaning “winter” or something that feels cold.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Characters are named well in Kindaichi. The names are quite scary. Names are truly important, aren't they?<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: You can convey a mood through the name's ideographs.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''Both Conan and Kindaichi take place at various locations. Do you go to places for reference?'''<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: When I drew the story about the sleeping car train Hokutosei, I actually rode it. When I took pictures, I had to get off in the middle, though.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: I drew material about trains, but I never went . . .<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: But traveling with the editor is dull, isn't it?<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: That happens!<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: What did we do at Kindaichi's time?<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: The staff went and took pictures. We never went to Hokkaido! Even Hajime went many times, though he's only a high school student.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: (laughs)<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''Snowy places appear often in Kindaichi. What is the reason?'''<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: Because it's easy to isolate people in winter.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: There was a trick that made footprints appear by sprinkling salt, wasn't there? I thought that it was good.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: It was simple and easy to understand, and it was beautiful, too, wasn't it? I like the phrase “sakura snow”, too. I had a lot of fun writing it at the time.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: At the time? (laughs)<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: We tried to change the taste a little for that, since we'd done this for a long time back then.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''Did you do location hunting at the time?'''<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: No, not at all!<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: (laughs)<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''What do you think is the appeal of mystery manga?'''<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: The number one appeal would be solving mysteries. That aspect is manga-esque now, isn't it?<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: In the end, if there is a mystery, one must solve it.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Love comedy is an element in Kindaichi and Conan.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''Characters like female high school student heroines and sexy women appear, don't they?'''<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: It's a promise.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Not much sexy girls appear in Conan, though beautiful women might float naked in a bathtub in Kindaichi.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: That's because we're at Shonen Magazine (laughs).<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: Shower scenes and such.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: The editorial department would stop it in Shonen Sunday (laughs).<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: Shonen Sunday doesn't do it much from the old days, do they?<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: Mystery mangas are logical and hard to understand, aren't they? So you include eye-catching panty shots to make the readers want to try reading, because you don't want to limit the audience.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: Those kind of pulls really does become the start sometimes in manga, doesn't it? Some readers start reading simply because cute girls appear in the manga.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: For me, I drew with the intention to include elements of love comedy in Conan from the beginning. The protagonist becoming small is truly a love comedy, you see. I thought that having a small boy and a girl that the boy's real self loves would be interesting.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: That sounds interesting, even if it wasn't a mystery manga.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Yes, that part by itself without deductions would be good, I think.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: The small boy might look inside a skirt really quick.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: That's only in Shonen Magazine!<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: That's true (laughs).<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''Then, what is especially troublesome doing a mystery manga?'''<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: Though the motive for the case is really important, in truth there aren't much variation, is there?<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: You use everything, and running out of ideas on interesting motives become imminent (laughs).<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: Since the readership is wide in manga, you have to hype up dramatically or else the readers may start feeling unsatisfied.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: The motive for the murder starts changing, too. In the old days, you use “my lover was killed . . .”, but recently it became “in truth the person wasn't even my lover!” - it becomes distorted like this.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: That's true, twists are essential.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: If you make it a simple revenge and the like, you get told that you've already done it before.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: I think “I did this, didn't I?”, even when I'm drawing myself.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: Yes, yes. I ran out of ideas for motives in the first 1~2 years. I've had difficulty ever since.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''Catch phrases are characteristic, too, aren't they?'''<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: They tighten the story, and I like how it gives the expectation that the tables will be turned from that point on. Thanks to “In the name of grandpa”, I feel that I've gained one chapter's worth.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: In Conan's case, he says “Edogawa Conan – a detective” from time to time, and that's it. Maybe I should make him say “In the name of ___”, at least once.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Everyone: (laughs)<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: Yes, let us exchange!<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: You'll make him say “Kindaichi Hajime – a detective”?<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: I like it!<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: But he's a high school student.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: Someone might joke, “He's not [officially] a detective, is he?”<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''As a result of the two works' influence, manga with a lot of text increased, didn't it?'''<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Maybe, perhaps.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: It became acceptable due to the hits, didn't it?<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: The readers nowadays can apparently understand better.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: For example, in the old days, the amount of text in this manga, which was also made into a film, was impossible. It's at the level that if you applied for the New Talent Award, you'll be told to cut down the text to a third.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: But readers came to accept this.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: Games exist, too – readers got accustomed to reading more text, didn't they?<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: But the one that created most of this is Kindaichi, isn't it?<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''Then, do you prohibit yourselves from doing anything in the manga?'''<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: That would be indiscriminate killings. I take care to include a motive, even if it looks indiscriminate.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: It'll be a different manga if we do a psycho killer.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: Indiscriminate killings and the like feel like you've run out of ideas, and there's the fear that they might interest those with cruel tendencies.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: That's true. It would be problematic if people sympathized with the culprit and attempted murder.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''Kindaichi focus on longer cases, and Conan focus on shorter cases, don't they?'''<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: About 14, 15 chapters.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: That's amazing. In Conan, one case is three chapters, six chapters at the longest. First, a person dies, then the mystery is presented, and finally the case gets solved. This is the golden pattern. Right now, I can't draw more than that. You two are doing well.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: That's because the plot is divided with Amagi-sensei.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: But sometimes you begin before you complete the plot.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Do you never contradict each other?<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: It does happen.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: For example, even though it's a wedding, the bridegroom is missing. [In another example,] I said that, since I'll put it in the pre-manuscript later, why don't you put a bag or something over the head, and there really was a bag over the head.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Does Sato-sensei never want to change the original work?<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: As you'd expect, I can't change the trick, but sometimes I change the emotional parts.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: On how to draw the characters, there are parts that I leave completely to you – with those parts, you have some degree of freedom, yes?<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Since I think [of ideas] on my own and draw on my own, sometimes I arbitrarily change arrangements with the editor. If you work with someone, I thought that that aspect seems troublesome.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: It's actually all right.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: Sometimes I add a gag ad lib. I've changed the flow in the end at times.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''Finally, do you have anything you want to say?'''<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: Can I start? Aoyama-sensei, please continue Conan until your death!<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: I do feel like dying from exhaustion (laughs).<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: If Aoyama-sensei does it, we can work hard, too.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: Yes, yes. In manga, if you don't have a rival in your genre, it's easier for your work to go to waste.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: It's an incentive for me, too.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: In truth, our fan bases are slightly different, so we can divide our habitats well.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: We're no [Yomiuri] Giants and Hanshin [Tigers], but let us work hard as rivals.<br>

| |
| − | アニメでルパン三世とコナンが夢の競演を実現させます。最初に聞いたときの感想は？<br>青：コナン側からいえば、今考えられる最大の強敵。かなりワクワクです。<br>モ：最初にお話を聞いたときは、はたして本当に実現できるのかと思いました。でも、できたら絶対に面白くなるはずだと思いました。<br>青：僕も実現できるのかなと思っていました（笑）。<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | 確かにすごい企画です。<br>モ：脚本家の方は大変だったでしょう。どういうストーリーになるのか、まったくわからない。<br>青：僕もそこそこは脚本をチェックしました。コナンが登場する部分はもちろんですけど、原作の「ルパン三世」が大好きで、「ルパンはこうじゃないだろう」って修正を入れてました（笑）。<br>不二子のシャワーシーンなど「ルパン三世」のお約束もありますし、いつもの「名探偵コナン」とは、少し違うかもしれません。<br>モ：それは楽しみです。<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | 両作品に登場する刑事同士が知り合いという設定もあります。<br>青：目暮警部と銭型警部は、どっちも警視庁ですから（笑）。<br>青：「名探偵コナン」で（アルセーヌ・ルパン生みの親である）モーリス・ルブランが、怪盗紳士を描いた作家として名前だけ出てきます。そのルブランが書いたルパンの孫と言うことは、ルパン三世は「名探偵コナン」の世界では架空の人物。それと対決するわけですから、本用に夢の対決です。カットになったけど、本当は“ルパンの孫”というセリフを、ぜひ入れたかったなあ。<br>モ：今回のアニメでは、コナンは少年、ルパンは青年。それをどう組み合わせるんだろうとは思いました。江戸川乱歩の小説でも、怪人二十面相と少年探偵団の対決はあったので、そういう感じで面白い対決だといいな。<br>青：コナンの場合、本人が少年探偵団であり、明智小五郎でもあります。コナン世界で一番切れる人物が小さい奴ですからね。その意味では、いい対決になっています。<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | ちなみに今回の見どころは？<br>青：コナンはルパン＆次元との絡みです。特に次元とコナンの絡みはオススメ。次元の手を見たコナンが「あなた、タダものじゃないですね」っていうシーンは、僕が付け足しました。その後に、次元らしいせりふを言うんですよ。<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | 青山先生にお伺いしますが、「ルパン三世」の魅力は？<br>青：子供のころから原作が大好きですが、やはり作品全体から感じるクールなカッコよさ。昔の「００７」ぽいところもありますね。<br>モ：それは、僕も意識して描いていました。<br>青：絵柄もかっこいいですよ。キャラクターの手足が細くて。実は、コナンが笑ったときの口元の感じは、モンキー・パンチ先生のマネ。かなり影響を受けました。<br>モ：それはありがとうございます。当時、連載していた雑誌の読者が少年ではなく青年層だったので、絵柄はそれを意識して、大人っぽく描いてました。<br>青：僕が「ルパン三世」にふれたのは小学３年生ぐらい。本屋さんで買ってきて家の本棚に並べていたら、エッチすぎるからと親に処分されて、後でまた買い直したこともあります（笑）。（編集部注 扉のページでモンキー・パンチ先生が持っているコミックは、青山先生が持参した私物）<br>

| − | 当時の小学生には、「ルパン三世」は刺激的すぎたんですね。<br>モ：実は「ルパン三世」を描いていた当時、本屋さんで幼稚園ぐらいの子が母親に「ルパン買って」と言うと、母親が「こういうのは読んじゃダメ」って（笑）。<br>青：いや、当時の僕は、ページをめくるたびにワクワクでした。<br>青：「名探偵コナン」を知っていると聞いて大感激です。実は聞いたいことがあります。モンキー・パンチというペンネームは、どうやって名付けたんですか？<br>モ：新人の頃に某編集部でつけられました。最初は変な名前だから断ろうと思った（笑）。当時、カタカナのペンネームは当たらないというジンクスがあって、当時の編集長が「そのジンクスをお前が破れ。一年だけやってイヤだったら好きな名前にしていい」と言われて。それがきっかけです。<br>青：ペンネームは、絵柄に会ってますし、最初は外国人かと思っていました。背景のハイコントラストな描き方はアメコミですよね。<br>モ：欧州の作家が好きで影響を受けて、そういうものが組み合わさってこうなりました。<br>青：「ルパン三世」の発想は、どこからですか？<br>モ：新雑誌が出るときに「表紙と巻頭をあげるから」と言われ、その場で浮かんだのが、「アルセーヌ・ルパン」。それで後先考えずにルパンものをやりたいと言って、その後で作り込みました。<br>青：僕は原作のクールなるパン三世が好きです。原作では、ルパン帝国の三代目でゴージャズだし、世界各地に手下がいて、アルセーヌ・ルパンぽいのが魅力でした。<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | モンキー・パンチ先生が考える「名探偵コナン」の魅力は？<br>モ：実は「ルパン三世」でも探偵者をやってみたいなと思っていて、僕が考える探偵ものはアガサ・クリスティーみたいな本格推理。そうなると最後のところで相当な文字数が必要になって、漫画的じゃない。だから、いい方法を見つけたらやろうと思っていました。それで初めて「名探偵コナン」を見て、なるほどこういうやり方があったのかと目からウロコが落ちました。あとは高校生でありながら小さい少年。これが子供達に受けていると思います。本当にやられたなという感じです。ルパン三世にも薬を飲ませて子供にすればよかった（笑）。<br>モ：今、「名探偵コナン」は、何年目ぐらいですか？<br>青：もう１５年ぐらいです。<br>モ：そんなに続けてられるのはすごいです。<br>青：いやいや、ネタ出しが大変で（笑）。今日も朝から何時間もネタ出ししてから来ました。<br>モ：僕は、いろいろなことを吸収していた時期に連載をしていて、ネタ出しの苦労はなかった。連載終盤は、頭にあるものを広げていく作業で大変だったけど。青：僕は、三話目ぐらいからネタ切れしてました（笑）。１巻分で終わるかなと思っていましたし、こんな文字数の多い漫画は誰も読まないと思っていました。<br><br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | お２人は、作品を描く上で気を付けていることはありますか？<br>モ：アニメ化されて声優さんの声にキャラクターが引っ張られることですね。山田康雄さんの声でアニメを見てたら、だんだん漫画のセリフも山田さんが言いそうなセリフになっていった。<br>青：そういう影響もあります。<br>モ：クールなるパンが「あらあらあら」ってなっちゃう。アニメのルパンに引っ張られないように苦労しました。<br>青：「名探偵コナン」では、小五郎の声が神谷明さんで、漫画のセリフで「お父さんのしゃがれ声で言われたくないわ」と言うセリフを使ったりしました。あと円谷光彦の声優さんの大谷育江さんの声がかわいいので、だんだんカワイイキャラになった。アニメが本物と思っている子供達もいて、ファンレターで「アニメと違う」と書かれると、こっちが本当なのにと思いつつ・・・<br>モ：アニメのルパン三世を見ながら僕の絵を見て、「これは違う」と子供達に言われたこのも（笑）。アニメになって、描き始めた頃の尖った部分は柔らかくなったり、絵柄や印象も子供を意識し始めて変わりました。最初の頃と最後の方では、作品の雰囲気がかなり違いますね。<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | 最後にファンのみなさんにメッセージをお願いします。<br>モ：僕も視聴者の一人として、ルパン三世と江戸川コナンの組み合わせの面白さは楽しみたい。それを楽しんでもらえれば、原作者としてもうれしいです。<br>青：実はコンテを全くチェックしていないのでオンエアがとても楽しみです。皆さんも是非ワクワクドキドキしながら観てください。</div>

| − | The dream confrontation between Lupin III and Conan in anime will be realized. What were your impressions when you first heard of this?<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: From Conan's side, [Lupin III is] the most powerful adversary currently imaginable. I'm highly excited.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Monkey Punch}}: When I first heard of the talk, I thought, is it possible to realize this? But I thought that, if it is, then it definitely must become interesting.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: I also wondered if it was possible (laughs).
| |
| − | | |
| − | That's true, it's a stunning project.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Monkey Punch}}: The scriptwriter must have gone through a lot of trouble. I have absolutely no idea what the story will be like.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: I, too, checked the script here and there. Of course [I went over] the parts where Conan appears, but since I love the original work for Lupin III, [I also] included revisions like “Lupin isn't like this” (laughs).<br>Since there is the Lupin III promise to include Fujiko's shower scene and so on, [this show] might be a little different from the usual Detective Conan.<br> | |
| − | {{font color|red|Monkey Punch}}: [I'm] excited for that.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It's also established that the police detectives appearing in both series are acquaintances.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Both Inspector Megure and Inspector Zenigata are from the Metropolitan Police Department, aren't they? (laughs)<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: In Detective Conan, Maurice Leblanc (creator of Arsene Lupin) appears as the name of the writer who wrote the gentleman thief. Since [Lupin III is] the grandchild of the Lupin written by that Leblanc, Lupin III is a fictitious person in Detective Conan's world. [Conan will] have a face-off with that [fictitious character], so this truly is a “dream” confrontation. Although this got cut, I really wanted to include the “Lupin's grandchild” line.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Monkey Punch}}: In this anime, Conan is a boy, and Lupin is a young man. I wondered how they'll put these together. In Edogawa Ranpo's novels, there was a face-off between the Kaijin Niju-Menso (Twenty-Faced Fiend) and Shounen Tanteidan (Boy Detective League) - I'd like it if that kind of feel is used.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: In Conan's case, the main character is both the Shounen Tanteidan and Akechi Kogoro. The small guy is the sharpest person in the Conan world. In that sense, the confrontation is a good one.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Also, what's worth watching this time?<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: For Conan, the entanglement with Lupin & Jigen. I especially recommend the entanglement between Jigen and Conan. I added the scene where Conan, who has looked at Jigen's hands, said “You're no ordinary man, are you?”
| |
| − | | |
| − | I would like to ask Aoyama-sensei – what is Lupin III's appeal?<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: I have loved the original work since childhood - [I would] definitely [say] the cool feel [you] can get from the entire work. It's also similar to 007 in the old days.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Monkey Punch}}: I have consciously tried to draw that way.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: The style is cool, too. The characters' limbs are thin. In truth, the atmosphere of Conan's mouth when he grins is in Monkey Punch-sensei's imitation. I received quite an influence.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Monkey Punch}}: Thank you kindly for that. At the time, serial magazines' readers were not boys but young adults, so with that in mind, I tried to draw with an adult-like style.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: I came across Lupin III around third grade. There was one time, when I bought it from the bookstore and lined it up on the bookshelf, my parents thought that it was too sensual so they confiscated it - I had to buy it again afterward (laughs). (Editorial notice: The comic Monkey Punch-sensei is holding on the front page is Aoyama-sensei's)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Lupin III was too stimulating for elementary school children back then, wasn't it?<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Monkey Punch}}: Actually, back when I was drawing Lupin III, a child who might be in kindergarten said “Buy Lupin!” to the mother at a bookstore, and the mother replied, “[You] can't read things like these!” (laughs)<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Back then, I felt excited from turning the page.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: I am deeply moved to hear that you know about Detective Conan. Actually, I have something I want to ask. How did you get the pen name, Monkey Punch?<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Monkey Punch}}: I got the name at a certain editorial department. I first wanted to decline [the name] since I thought it was strange (laughs). At the time, there was a jinx where pen names in katakana did't become successful, and the editor-in-chief at the time told me, “You break that jinx. If you don't like it after a year, you can pick your favorite name.” That was the start.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: The pen name suits your style, and I first thought that [the name] was a foreigner's. American comics have backgrounds with high contrast, right?<br>{{font color|red|Monkey Punch}}: I like European artists and received their influence – things like that combined together and here I am.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Where did Lupin III's idea come from?<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Monkey Punch}}: I was told that I'll get the cover and the opening page when the new magazine comes out, at right there I thought, Arsene Lupin. Then I said that I want to do something Lupin-related without reflection, and I started working.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: I prefer the cool Lupin III in the original work. In the original work, [Lupin III was] Lupin Empire's third generation and had minions all over the world; the similarity to Arsene Lupin was appealing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | What is Detective Conan's appeal according to Monkey Punch-sensei?<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Monkey Punch}}: I actually wanted to do mysteries in Lupin III; personally, when I think of detectives I think of Agatha-Christie-like, genuine deductions. In that case, the word count becomes considerable at the end and no longer manga-like. So I wanted to find a good way to do this. Then I watched Detective Conan for the first time, and my eyes were opened. A boy who's actually a high school student – I think that this is what appeals to children. I feel that [Aoyama Gosho] really did it. I should have made Lupin III swallow a pill and become a child, too (laughs).<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Monkey Punch}}: How long has Detective Conan continued so far?<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: About 15 years already.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Monkey Punch}}: It's amazing that you've continued for so long.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Oh no, coming up with ideas is a lot of trouble (laughs). I came here after spending hours from morning coming up with ideas today, for example.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Monkey Punch}}: For me, I serialized when I absorb several things, so I didn't struggle coming with ideas. Although, the ending involved expanding what was in the head and was a lot of trouble.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: For me, I ran out of ideas from the third chapter (laughs). I thought that the series would end by the first volume, and that no one would read manga with such high word count.
| |
| − | | |
| − | What do you two take care to do when drawing your work?<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Monkey Punch}}: I got influenced by the voice actors' voices for the characters after my work got animated. After I watch the anime with Yamada Yasuo-san's voice, the manga's lines become ones that Yamada-san might say.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: That's true.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Monkey Punch}}: The calm Lupin becomes the “Ara ara ara”-type. I struggled trying not to be influenced by the anime's Lupin.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: In Detective Conan, Kamiya Akira-san does Kogoro's voice, so lines like “I don't want to be told by dad's hoarse voice” were used. Also, since Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko's Ootani Ikue-san's voice is cute, Mitsuhiko gradually became a cute character. There are children who think that the anime is the original, too, and when I receive fan letters that say “[The manga is] different from the anime”, I can't help but think, the [manga] is the one that's original . . .<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Monkey Punch}}: Children, looking at my drawings while watching anime's Lupin III, told me that “This is different” (laughs). After becoming an anime, the sharper parts from the times I started drawing became softer, and I changed the style and atmosphere, keeping children in mind. The work's atmosphere is quite different when comparing the beginning and the end, isn't it?
| |
| − | | |
| − | For the end, please leave a message for all the fans.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Monkey Punch}}: As one of the viewers, I want to enjoy the interesting combination of Lupin III and Edogawa Conan. If you could enjoy that, I am happy as the original author.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Actually, I haven't checked the contents at all, so I am excited about the airing. Everyone please be sure to watch with excitement.

| − | 池田：先生とお会いするのは初めてなんですよね。『名探偵コナン』のアフレコの日に「今日、先生がいらっしゃるかもしれません」と言われた日は何度かあったんですけど、お忙しいようでなかなか実現しなかった。
| |
| − | | |
| − | 青山：すみませんでした。毎週の『少年サンデー』での連載があって、さらに劇場版などのコンテも毎回チエックしていますので、なかなか時間がとれなくて…。僕はアニメが大好きなので、本当なら毎回アフレコには行きたいくらいなんです。劇場版の『コナン』では自分で原画を描いているほどで、こんなにアニメ作品に直接関わっている原作者は珍しいかもしれないですね。
| |
| − | | |
| − | 池田：なるほど。その好きなアニメの中に『ガンダム』も含まれているわけですね。ところで、『ガンダム』はリアルタイムで見られていたんですか？
| |
| | | | |
| − | 青山：僕の住んでいた鳥取県では放送されてなくて、現地のアニメファンが署名して放送終了してから1年後に見ることができたんです。それで、夢中になって見ていましたね。僕は当時は中学生で、アムロと同世代でした。だから、年齢的に感情移入して見るのはアムロのいる連邦側だったんですが、でも、やっぱりなりたいのはシャアでした（笑）。あんなにカッコイイ敵役のキャラクターっていないですからね。例えば『宇宙戦艦ヤマト』のデスラーもカッコイイですが、デスラーになりたいとまでは思わなかったですから。そういう意味では、シャアは登場シーンから、セリフのカッコよさももちろんですが、池田さんのシブい声も衝撃的でしたし、大好きでした（笑）。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：ということは、高校生の頃に劇場版が公開されていて、内容的にも理解しながら、作品をすごく楽しんでいた世代なんですね。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 青山：そうですね。劇場版の『めぐりあい宇宙』が公開されたのが高校2年か3年の時でした。高校3年生の学祭では、シャアのコスチュームを作って、コスプレして街の中を練り歩いたんです（笑）。僕は、劇場版がまた好きなんですよね。第1作目、2作目も良かったんですが、3作目の『めぐりあい宇宙』では新作カットがたくさんあって、作画の美しさに心を奪われましたよ。もう、『ガンダム』は人生が変わるくらいの衝撃を受けたアニメでしたね。その影響で、アニメーターになりたいなって思っていたくらいですから。ところで、劇場版では、新たにアフレコをされたんですよね？
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：全部新しく録り直しましたね。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 青山：いや～、もう『めぐりあい宇宙』の冒頭がたまらなく好きでして。僕はシャアの副官のドレンも好きで、「大佐は宇宙がお似合いですな」という大人びたやり取りとか、本当にカッコイイなと。『コナン』でもアンドレ・キャメルという、ドレンをモデルにしたキャラを出していますから。シャアは、あの大人びたところがいいんですが、設定年齢は何歳でしたか？
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：20歳ですね。その年齢にしては、かなり大人びてますが（笑）。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 青山：20歳で「認めたくないものだな、自分自身の若さゆえのあやまちというものを…」ですからね。そんな台詞、20歳じゃ言えないですよ。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：実際にはそうそう言えないですよね。僕はテレビシリーズでシャアを演じた時は29歳だったんですが、演じるにあたって設定年齢は気にしなくていいと言われたんです。だから、全然気にしないで、やっていました。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 青山：やっぱり、シャアの魅力は台詞にあると思いますし、その台詞に池田さんの声がすこく合っていた。池田さんは洋画の吹き替えなんかもやられていますよね。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：やっています。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 青山：僕はシャアだけでなく、すっかり池田さんの声のファンになっていまして、池田さんが吹ぎ替えた洋画もいろいろ見ました。その結果、僕の漫画にも”赤井秀一”なんていう名前のキャラクターがいますが、本当に大好きなので思い切って出しちゃったんです（笑）。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：本当にそうだったんですね（笑）。ところで、どういう経緯で”赤井秀一”というキャラクターが生まれたんですか？『コナン』では、キャラクターの名称は、有名な探偵の名前をもじったりするのがお約束なのに、ガンダムが元ネタなのが不思議ですよね。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 青山：実は、探偵ネタが尽きたというのもありまして（笑）。お話の中で、主人公の江戸川コナンに味方をするFBI捜査官を出すことになったときに、イメージ先行でその敏腕捜査宮はシャアっぼくしたいなと思ったんです。だから、最初はシャアからとって”赤井”という名字だけ決まっていたんです。その後、下の名前をどうしようかと悩んだ結果、池田さんのお名前からいただいて秀一にしてしまいました（笑）。コナンの本名が新一なので、”新一”と”秀一”は、似た響きの名前だから本来なら採用しないんですが、今回だけはいいやと思って。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：いやあ、光栄ですね。そして、テレビ版では声もやらせてもらっているわけですから。すこい縁を感じます。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 青山：アニメ版の重要キャラクターのキャストは、プロデューサーから「誰かイメージはありますか？」と希望を聞かれるんですが、赤井の時には「そりゃ、池田さんでしょうー！」ってリクエストしたら、夢が叶ってしまいました。ちなみに、『コナン』に登場する怪盗キッドというキャラクターは、以前僕が描いていた『まじっく快斗』という漫画のキャラクターなんですが、その快斗のお父さんである黒羽盗一も、池田さんをイメージしていて、その役も池田さんに演じていただけているので、実は2つも夢が叶っているんですよね。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：あのキャラクターはそういうことだったんですか。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 青山：もうイメージどおりで、登場回は何度も見直してしまいました。赤井に関しては、しゃべり口調もシャアをイメージして書いているんですが、シャアのセリフがそのまま出てきたらシャアファンの方々に失礼かもしれないと思って、名台詞を書くのは我慢しています。ただ、コナンのことは「坊や」って呼ばせてますけど（笑）。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：さきほどのドレンの話じゃないですけど、本当にガンダムが好きで、リスペクトしているんですね。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 青山：それはもう本当に大好きですから（笑）。ちなみに、赤井が敵対する黒ずくめの組織に潜入していた時の偽名が”諸星大”で、恋人から名前を呼ばれるときに「大君＝ダイクン」となっていて、名字も諸星＝彗星ですから。そして、FBl捜査官仲間のジョディが「シュウ」と呼ぶのは、完全に「シャア」のオマージュですよね（笑）。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：まさかそこまでとは（笑）。全然気がつきませんでした。赤井秀一は劇中では死んでしまっているんですが、偶然にも青山先生との対談が決まった直後に、回想シーンでの登場があって久々に演じてきました。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 青山：そうなんですか。池田さんからすると、赤井というキャラクターは演じてみて、いかがですか？
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：名前が”赤井秀一”ですからね（笑）。やりやすくて大好きなキャラクターですよ。本当に全然悩まないで演じられますから。でも、気がつけば結構長いこと演じているキャラクターなんですよね。アニメ版に登場したのが確か2001年くらいからだから、かれこれもう10年近いつきあいになる。でも登場した話数は10話ちょっとくらいなのかな。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 青山：出るときはまとまって出演されていますよね。『コナン』の全体の物語の中でも重要なエピソードである、黒ずくめの組織（コナンを子供の姿に変えてしまった謎の組織）を相手に病院を舞台にして対決する話（コミックス版『名探偵コナン』57巻～59巻、テレビ版「赤と黒のクラッシュ」編）の時は出ずっぱりでしたからね。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：でも、まさかこんなに重要なキャラクターだったとは思いませんでしたよ。僕は自分が演じるキャラクターの過去を知っておきたいタイプではなくて、観ている人たちと一緒に、演じながら「そうだったのか！」って判っていくのが好きなんですよ。シャアの時もそうだった。だから、最初は僕も赤井がFBI捜査官であることは知らなかったですからね。話が進んでいってから、判ってくることが多くて驚ぎましたね。ところで、『コナン』にガンダムネタを持って来たことに対しては、コナンファンからの反応はどうだったんですか？
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 青山：赤井が本編に登場したのは、今から約10年くらい前になるんですが、当時は全然バレていない感じでしたね。「赤井はシャアですね」みたいなファンレターは全然来なかったし、特に批判もなかったです。でも、その後だんだん『コナン』の読者にも『ガンダム』が認知されるに従って、反応が出始めた感じです。そして、赤井が撃たれた時は、「ショックですー！」みたいなファンレターがたくさん来ましたよ。反響はかなり大きかったですね。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：僕も死ぬとは思っていなかったので「まさかー！」と驚きましたね。でも、あのキャラクターがあれで終わりとは思えないんですが……。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 青山：そのあたりは、ご想像にお任せします（笑）。あの事件自体、まだ解決していない感じですからね。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：じゃあ、生きていると信じて、本当の再登場を待ってます（笑）。それにしても、赤井が撃たれるまでのあの話は面白かったですね。衝撃のラストも含めて、長い物語の中に、いろんな伏線が散りばめられていて、僕自身もすこく楽しめました。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 青山：あの話はすこく考え抜いてやっていますからね。おかげで評判もかなり良かったです。でも、作画を含めて死ぬほど大変でした。黒い組織の話は、やっていて楽しいんですが、負担も大きいんですよね。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：『コナン』では、これからもガンダムネタが出たりはしそうですか？
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 青山：コナンの味方であるキャラクターの最高ランクにあたるのが赤井でしたから、黒ずくめの組織側にもガンダム系の名前のキャラが出せたら面白いですよね。例えば、「安室徹」とか（笑）。ガンダムと敵味方が逆なのがいい。そうなると、声は誰がやるか決まっていますが（笑）。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：そうですね、あの人しかいない（笑）。それにしても『コナン』もずいぶんと長い作品になりましたね。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 青山：連載開始から15年くらいですからね。僕の中じゃ、4年くらい前に始まったような感覚なんですけどね。少年サンデーの中でも1番の長期連載になってしまいましたから。そういう意昧では、ガンダムは30年ですから、本当に長いですよね。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：そうですね。でも、僕もガンダムをそんなに長い間やっている感じはしないですね。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 青山：でも、そのおかげでみんなが恥ずかしがらずに「ガンダム好きです」って言えるようになったんですよね。そして、その世代が今、社会を動かしているわけですから。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：関わった作品が認知されていくのは嬉しいですね。少年サンデーは50周年ですよね。僕にとっては、『少年サンデー』は思い出深い雑誌なんです。創刊されたとぎには、僕は子役としてこの業界に入っていたんですが、当時1日の小遣いが決まっていたんです。そこで、NHKの食堂で食べる昼飯を安いメニューにして、節約したお金で買って読んでいたことを覚えていますね。その少年漫画誌で最長連載されている漫画に、自分と関わりの深いキャラクターが出ていることは感慨深いです。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 青山：今日は、夢のような1日で、最初はすこく緊張しました（笑）。でも、池田さんは気さくで優しい方で、お話ししていてすこく楽しかったです。話しているうちに、30年前の記憶がどんどん蘇ってくるんですから、やっぱリガンダムはすこいですね。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：僕も、青山さんはいろんな推理トリックを考える方だから、もう少し難しい方だと思っていました。なんか、しかめっ面しているような、勝手なイメージがあったんです。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 青山：みなさん、僕に会われた方はそう言われますね。推理作家というと、松本清張さんなんかを思い浮かべるみたいで。でも、ただのガンダムオタクですから（笑）。
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 池田：僕は子役時代にドラマの『少年探偵団』（1960年～63年放送）に、少年探偵団のメンバーの一人として出演していたんですが、それが今は現代の少年探偵の代名詞である『名探偵コナン』に出させていただいているという偶然が面白いですね。『少年探偵団』という番組は、謎解きとかはそんなに難しい内容ではなくて、「推理」や「冒険」を、テレビを通して気軽に楽しめる内容だったんですよね。『ガンダム』のような作品もいいけど、「頭脳で事件を解決する」みたいなものに、今も昔も子供は刺激されるし、やっぱりなくてはならないものですよね。そういう意味では『コナン』は責重な作品だなと、改めて思いました。これからも、長く愛されるように続けていただけたらと思います。

| |
| − | {{font color|red|Ikeda (Voice actor for Akai Shuuichi)}}: By the way, under what circumstance did a character named "Akai Shuuichi" emerge? In Conan, the characters are always named after famous detectives. It's curious that Gundam is the basis of this name.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: There's also the possibility that (I) ran out of detective-based names (laughs). When it was decided that (we) would introduce an FBI agent who would side with the protagonist, Conan, I wanted to base the image of that astute investigator on Char. That's why (I) decided on just the last name to be "Akai (red)" at first. After that, when (I) pondered on what the first name should be, (I) decided it to be "Shuuichi" after you, Ikeda-san (laughs). Since Conan's real name is "Shinichi," and "Shinichi" and "Shuuichi" sound similar, (I) wouldn't normally pick (this name), but I thought that it would be okay, just this once.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Ikeda}}: What an honor! Since I get to voice the TV-version as well, I feel a quite a deep bond (to the character? to Gosho?).<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: For the anime's important character's, I get asked by P (I don't know what the heck P is), "Do you have an image (of who the voice actor should be) in mind?" For Akai, I requested (by replying), "Who else but Ikeda-san!" and the wish came true!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | (omitted)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Ikeda}}: Will there be more Gundam-based (ideas? characters?) in Conan?<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: If Conan's ally's highest ranking member is Akai, then it would be interesting if there were characters with Gundam-based names in the Black Organization as well. Like "Amuro Akira/Tooru" (徹 can be read both as Tooru or Akira) (laughs). For Gundam, the good guys and bad guys should be reversed.

| − | Gōshō Aoyama is one of the most successful shōnen manga artists of our time and its most successful work, Detective Conan (Case Closed in the US), serialized on Shōnen Sunday (Shōgakukan) since 1994 (68 paperbacks so far), has been one of the biggest hits of the 1900s and 2000s. Detective Conan, a detective story whose main character, little Conan Edogawa, is a teenager detective trapped in a body of a little kid, is still going on. Uber-busy Aoyama, who is required to draw twenty pages of manga every week, wasn’t able to meet me for a face to face interview, but even so he was so kind as to agree to answer to my questions via e-mail. Here I transcribe the interview in full.

| − | Please do not publish this interview on other blogs or publications without my permission. (Tough cookies Masters of Manga, if the originals go down, someone's gotta rehost for the good of the fandom)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 1: Why did you decide to become a mangaka? How did it all start?<br>A: It all happened because I wanted to give shape to stories that were only in my head in order to show them to everybody.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2: What other mangaka or artists had influence on you?<br>A: Tetsuya Chiba, Monkey Punch and Mitsuru Adachi.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 3: Do you usually read or watch detective stories? What kind of stories do you prefer?<br>A: I watch a lot of movies and TV series, so many I’m even unable to count them. Sherlock Holmes, Furuhata Ninzaburō, Columbo, and the novels of Hercule Poirot would be good examples of what I like.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 4: Outside Japan there are a lot of famous authors specializing in detective stories, such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle or Agatha Christie. I believe that the same can be said about Japan, where there are also many novelists specialized on the genre. But what about manga? Were there other manga stories before Detective Conan whose main character was a detective? If the answer is “no”, was Conan a pioneer of the genre?<br>A: If I’m not mistaken, Kindaichi Shōnen no jikenbo (The Case Files of Young Kindaichi) serialization began earlier than Conan’s.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 5: What was the driving force behind your decision to draw Detective Conan?<br>A: I wanted to write/draw a romantic comedy whose main character was a detective that has been made small again.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 6: Detective Conan is now a big hit and many other stories of the same kind have been appearing here and there on other manga magazines of other publishing houses. What do you think about this phenomenon?<br>A: I think that this is happening because there is a detective inside every person in the world. We all like mysteries, this is why.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 7: Detective Conan’s world has expanded hugely; it has been adapted to anime, movies, live action TV series and many more media. What do you think about this?<br>A: I think that I’m very happy and very lucky (laughs).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 8: Why did you decide to make Conan a child? Do you think that the series would have been equally successful had the main character been a teenager detective, as it was in the very beginning?<br>A: I think that precisely because I made him become a child again, I could gain the attention and faithful readership of a broader range of readers, from children to adults.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 9: Is it very hard to be in charge of the same series during years and years? Exactly how hard is it?<br>A: It’s so hard I cannot sleep for more than three hours a day (laughs).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 10: Have you already decided the end of Detective Conan?<br>A: Yes, I have. However, I don’t know when I’ll be able to draw it (laughs).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 11: Do you think all the cases of Detective Conan by yourself? Or does somebody help you with that?<br>A: I painfully think them all with my very limited brain with the help of my editor in charge (laughs).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 12: How many assistants do you have? Some of them went on to create new stories based on your characters and situations with the title of Detective Conan Special. What do you think about this? How do you feel having your characters and plots in others’ hands?<br>A: I have five assistants. About how I feel letting others take control of my plot and characters, I felt anxious at first, but later on I’ve discovered they really make me think: “Wow, this situation is not bad at all, why didn’t I come up with it before?” (laughs).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 13: Enough about Conan for now. Did you inspire yourself on the story of Musashi Miyamoto to create Yaiba?<br>A: Yes, of course. Some characters have been taken directly from that story (laughs).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 14: Yaiba, which is a kendo-themed story, is famous all over the world. What, in your opinion, is the key to that success?<br>A: I think that maybe the fact of setting a story in which the characters can put different “orbs” in their swords was the decisive factor, as it makes it feel like a videogame.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 15: You are one of the most prominent shōnen manga authors of our times. From that position, I’d really like to know your views on nowadays’ shōnen manga scene.<br>A: I’m so focused on my own work and circumstances that I’ve never really thought about it, sorry (laughs).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 16: Of all your works, which is your favorite and why?<br>A: Well, that would be Detective Conan. We have been together now for too long not to be friends, in fact (laughs).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 17: What kind of manga would you like to draw if you had the chance?<br>A: A story about Sun Wukong (Son Gokū).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 18: What do you think that your manga is popular in son many countries all over the world?<br>A: It’s a huge honor.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 19: Manga has finally become a worldwide phenomenon. What do you think about that?<br>A: I’m convinced that Japan, and Japanese people, should be proud of manga and anime. I really believe it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 20: Could we ask for a final comment from you to manga readers all over the world?<br>A: Conan is full to the brim with tricks and ciphers only Japanese can understand and, even so, many foreign readers keep faithful to his stories. I’m very grateful for that and I hope they continue to do so. Thank you very much, really.

| |
| − | Ｑ: いつ顷から、どういうきっかけでサッカーを好きになったか。<br>
| |
| − | ⇒好きになったのは“ドーハの悲剧”（1993年に开催された日本代表とイラク代表のサッカーの国际试合）の顷から。コナンが始まる前。日本中ががっかりした试合だったけど…顽张れって気持ちにもなった、あの顷からサッカーは好きですね。
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ｑ. ロベルト・バッジョ选手（イタリアの至宝と呼ばれた选手）が好きだと闻いたが、他に好きな选手は？<br>
| |
| − | ⇒确かにバッジョ选手は好き。他にはＣＳＫＡモスクワで活跃している本田圭佑选手もいい。喋りがかっこいいし、面白い。昔だとヒデ。コナンにもヒデがいるが、コナンの方のヒデ（赤木英雄）の方が先に出ている（笑）
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ｑ. 今回、剧场版シリーズとして“サッカー”を题材するに至って、先生のこだわりとは？<br>
| |
| − | ⇒やっぱり前回のワールドカップ南アフリカ大会での远藤选手のフリーキック、凄かった。远藤选手のあの时のフリーキックは凄いカーブで、弧を描きゴールネットに…これをコナンに蹴らせたい!!と思った。その思い入れは込められたかな(笑)。本田の无回転シュートもいいんだけど…今回の作品的に无回転だと无理かなと思って(何で无理かは剧场で确认してくださいね）。
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ｑ. コナンのリフティングについて。<br>
| |
| − | ⇒１巻ぐらいにしか出て来ないんだけど…コナンが推理するときに、リフティングをしてたら面白いなぁと思ったんだけど、リフティングのシーンを描くと、意外とコマをくっちゃうんだよね(笑)。だから１回しかやってない。だから今回はせっかくだし…コナンにリフティングを思う存分、やらせてみた（笑）。
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ｑ. 现役の选手の方々に声优を実际にして戴きましたが、どうでしたか？<br>
| |
| − | ⇒みなさん、顽张って戴いてよかった。カズさん(三浦知良选手)は、とても自然な感じだったし。
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ｑ. 作品中に出てくる东京スピリッツ、ビッグ大阪のユニフォームのデザインは、どこかのチームのユニフォームからインスピレーションはあったか？<br>
| |
| − | ⇒东京スピリッツはイタリア、セリエＡ“ユベントス”。昔、ロベルト・バッジョがいた、あのチーム。ビッグ大阪は特にないんだけど…あえて言うなら、昔の浦和レッズ、鹿岛アントラーズの襟部分などを参考にしたかな。
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ｑ. 今回の构想期间はどれくらい？<br>
| |
| − | ⇒大体２年前から始めた。それくらい始めないと间に合わない。
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ｑ. 作品を描く时、どうしているか？<br>
| |
| − | ⇒音楽がかかっていると集中できない、だから无音。たまに気分展开したい时に音楽をかけたり、気晴らしに映画を観たりしている。集中して考える时は绝対に音はない。逆に絵を描くときは、音楽をかける。昔は、大滝咏一さんとかブルーハーツ。ブルーハーツは“1000のバイオリン”という曲が大好き。がっかりすることがあると、この曲を聴く。大体オレの头の中って、この曲の歌词みたい。ブルーハーツはコナンの最初の主题歌だし。あとはアニメを流したりもする。例えば、“ちはやぶる”は超おもしろくてあれはいい。このアニメを流しながら、コナンの杀人シーンを描いたりした(笑)。
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ｑ. 今回のようにサッカーという要素の中に、事件・推理・爆破などの要素を入れて、１つの作品として完成させるのは大変だったと思うが、どうだったか？<br>
| |
| − | ⇒大変だった。漫画の原作でサッカースタジアムで犯人が狙撃して、コナンが阻止するというのをやってしまったので、狙撃はもうできないし(笑)。狙撃できないなら爆発しかないよね(笑)。
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ｑ. 打ち合わせは何度も重ねたんですよね？<br>
| |
| − | ⇒打ち合わせは大体仆の家でするんだけど、暗号をどうしようとみんなで悩んでいたとき、仕事场でトリックの一部を完成させて“これにしよう”と言って决めたり…。トリックは思い浮かんで决まるときは早い。作品を完成させる时は、まず“トリック”を完成させる、トリックが决まらないと全然话にならないので。今回の场合だと、サッカーに全体が引っ张られ过ぎるとよくないし。トリックをしっかり决め、そしてサッカーの要素などを加えて完成させた。
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ｑ. これまでの作品で、実在する人がモデルになっているキャラクターはいるか？<br>
| |
| − | ⇒高木刑事だけ実在ではないけれど、漫画家“よしまさこ”さんの作品で、です・ます调のキャラクターがいて、そのキャラの见た目でなく、中身を参考にさせてもらった。
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ｑ. 今回の作品を実际に観て、特に印象に残ったシーンや“细かいところだけど気づいてほしい”というシーンがあれば教えてください。<br>
| |
| − | ⇒お～っと思ったのは、スタジアムの电光掲示板が爆発して…あることが起きるじゃない?!あとコナンのサスペンダーが(あとは剧场で)。それとカズのシーンが良かった、全体的にアップテンポな进行の中で、ゆったりとしていて。
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ｑ. 剧场版コナンを一般の映画馆で観るか？<br>
| |
| − | ⇒耻ずかしくて一般の映画馆では観ない。でも『世纪末の魔术师』という作品で、怪盗キッドを出そうってオレが言ったんだけど、本当に作品に登场するのか？と思って、映画馆へ『世纪末の魔术师』の予告编だけを确认しに、ガメラか何かの作品を観に行きました(笑)。あの时の怪盗キッドはオレが描いた原画だったし、スクリーンサイズで観れて感动した。
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ｑ. 今回のコナンは冒头からハードアクションだったが、どんなアクション作品のイメージがあったのか。<br>
| |
| − | ⇒ダイ・ハードか２４かな。それと、“パニック・イン・スタジアム”というスタジアムの中が大騒ぎになる作品も少しイメージした。
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ｑ. 兰が新一に携帯电话で连络するシーンについて。<br>
| |
| − | ⇒原作では既にエクスペリアじゃなくてエクスペリカンというスマホを使っているし、灰原はプ●ダフォンだし、ベルモットはアイ●ォンだしね。
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ｑ. 兰など素敌な女の子たちが登场しているが、『名探侦コナン』という作品の中で特に好きな女の子は谁か？<br>
| |
| − | ⇒やっぱヒロインの兰かな。好きなのは兰、そして特别な女の子が灰原かな。こなん通信社の中で灰原の一言もオレが考えているんだけど、ほぼ灰原はオレの代弁者になっているね。あと兰は勇往迈进というか（新一のことを）待っていてくれるのは嬉しいというか…あと强いしね。ちなみに女の子が强いシーンを描くのって嬉しい。今、世良ちゃんも出ているけど、描くのが楽しい…目の下にクマがあるけど(笑)。
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ｑ. ジャイアンツが好きだと闻きました。剧场版の作品で、スポーツに関する题材としてどんなスポーツをやってみたいか。<br>
| |
| − | ⇒野球だね。でもジャイアンツに肩入れするのも…(笑)。やるなら世界的に有名なスポーツがいいと思う。スポーツ観戦するのが好き。基本、何でも観る。</div>

| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Since when and how did you come to like soccer?<br>A: I liked soccer since the Agony of Doha (the international soccer match between Japanese and Iraqi representative opened in 1993). This is before Conan started. Although this was a match that let down Japan, I also felt like cheering (Japan). I've liked soccer from that time, yes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: I heard that you like Roberto Baggio (footballer who was called Italy's treasure), but who else do you like?<br>A: Yes, I do like Baggio. As for other players, I also like Keisuke Honda, who is active in CSKA Moscow. His way of speaking is cool, and (his speaking? he?) is interesting. In old times, (my favorite was) Hide. Although there's another Hide in Conan, Conan's Hide (Hideo Akagi) appeared first (laughs).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: What is sensei's fixation when researching about soccer for this year's film series?<br>A: Endou's free kick in World Cup South Africa was amazing. Endou's free kick at that time had an amazing curve, drawing an arc toward the goal net . . . I thought, I want to make Conan kick this!!. Maybe this wish was included (laughs). Honda's knuckle shot was amazing, too . . . but I thought that knuckle shots would be impossible this time, product-wise (to understand why, please confirm at the movie theater).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: About Conan's (soccer ball) juggling . . .<br>A: This appeared only around the first volume . . . I thought that it would be interesting if Conan was juggling (a soccer ball) while deducing, but the juggling scenes, when drawn, eat up the panel, contrary to expectations (laughs). That's why I only did it once. That's why I had Conan juggle to his heart's content, given the opportunity (laughs).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: You had actual soccer players voice acting. How was it?<br>A: Everybody did their best for us, it was great. Kazu-san (Kazuyoshi Miura) was a natural, too.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Did you get inspiration from some team for your work's Tokyo Spirits' and Big Osaka's uniforms?<br>A: Tokyo Spirits' is from Italy's Serie A Juventus F.C.. The team Baggio was a part of a long time ago. There's no specific (inspiration) for Big Osaka . . . but if you insist, I may have consulted Urawa Red Diamonds', Kashima Antlers' collar.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: How lond was the planning process this time?<br>A: We started about two years ago. We can't finish on time if we don't start around there.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: When drawing your work, what do you do?<br>A: I can't focus when music is playing, so no music. I play music to improve my mood, or play movies to brighten my mood. When I'm thinking with focus, there is never any sound. In the old days, (I played) Eiichi Otaki, Blue Hearts, etc.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: It must have been a lot of work to include elements of soccer, incident, deduction, explotion and finish them as one product. How was it?<br>A: It was a lot of work. (I) already did (a case) in the manga where the culprit is sniping, and where Conan stops him, so (we) couldn't do sniping anymore (laughs). If sniping is out, you can only do explosions, right? (laughs)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Business meetings were held repeatedly, right?<br>A: Business meetings are usually done at (Not a Japanese name, not sure wtheck this is)'s house, but when everyone was pondering over the cipher, we'll complete one part of a trick at the workplace and decide while saying "Let's use this!" . . . For tricks, the time when thinking up and deciding is fast. To finish a work, first finish the trick. If the trick isn't decided, the story doesn't form. In this case, it's not good to pull apart soccer as a whole. (We) first firmly decided the trick, then added elements of soccer to finish.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: In your work so far, do you have character(s) who are modeled off of people in real life?<br>A: Only Detective Takagi isn't based off of a real-life person; he is based on a character who speaks politely in the manga artist Masako Yoshi's work. I consulted that character's insides, not (his/her) appearance.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Tell us about scenes that left you an impression or scenes that you want others to notice despite being insignificant when you watched this year's work.<br>A:(The scene that) made me think Wow! is when the stadium's electronic bulletin board explodes, and . . . something happens, right?! Then Conan's suspenders (go to the theater for more). And Kazu's scene was good, its pace was easy-going in the middle of an up-beat one.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Do you watch Conan's films in an average (or public, I think) theater?<br>A: I'm embarrassed to watch in an average theater. But in the work "The Last Wizard of the century", since I suggested making Kaito Kid appear and I thought, Will (he) really appear?, I went to a theater to just confirm "The Last Wizard of the Century"'s trailer while watching Gamera or whatever (laughs). Kaito Kid at that time was (based on) my storyboard, and I felt happy to see it on the big screen.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: This time's Conan is hard action from the beginning. What action work did you base it on?<br>A: Die Hard or 24, maybe. (My comment: Gosho has mentioned in the manga how he has watched 24 before. It's a US detective series, so you guys should be able to watch it, if you wanted to.) I also based it a little on the work Panic in Stadium (Note: the US title is Two-Minute Warning), where there's turmoil in a stadium.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: On the scene where Ran contacts Shinichi with a cell phone.<br>A: In the original work (Note: the manga), (Conan?) uses a smart phone called XPERIKAN (Note: this is what's on the manga to avoid copyright violations, probably - not a real phone), not Xperia. Haibara (uses) Prada phone, and Vermouth (uses) iPhone.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Charming girls like Ran appears (in your work). In the work called Detective Conan, which female character do you especially like?<br>A: I guess it would have to be the heroine, Ran. I like Ran, and the special girl would be Haibara. I think about Haibara's comments in the Conan News Agency, too; she's become my spokeswoman, hasn't she? Ran is full of courage, and she waits for Shinichi, which makes (Gosho?) happy . . . she's strong, too. By the way, I feel happy drawing scenes where girls are strong. Right now, Sera-chan is appearing, too, and it's fun to draw (her) . . . although, she has bags under her eyes (laughs).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: I hear that you like the Giants. What kind of sports do you want to do as the theme of a film, if the theme is sports-related?<br>A: It would be baseball. But supporting Giants might be . . . (laughs). If (I'm/we're/etc) going to do it, I think that it's good to (pick a) sport that's famous all over the world. I like to watch sport matches. Basically, I watch anything.

| |
| − | | |
| − | 漫画家生活８年目に入った平成５年、「週刊少年サンデー」編集部から新しい企画の依頼があった。
| |
| − | | |
| − | ドキリとした。「大変じゃないか、と。トリックを考えるのも設定も」
| |
| − | | |
| − | 昭和６１年、同誌掲載の「ちょっとまってて」でデビュー。平成５年に「ＹＡＩＢＡ（やいば）」で小学館漫画賞（児童部門）を受賞した期待の漫画家だった。ライバル誌では、高校生探偵が活躍する「金田一少年の事件簿」が人気を博し、少年漫画にミステリーのジャンルが確立されつつあった時期だ。
| |
| − | | |
| − | 構想を練っていると、子供のころ好きだった推理小説を思い出した。イギリスのコナン・ドイル「シャーロック・ホームズ」、フランスのモーリス・ルブラン「アルセーヌ・ルパン」、そして日本の江戸川乱歩「少年探偵団」…。小学校の図書館で借りて、ドキドキしながら全巻を夢中になって読んだ。
| |
| − | | |
| − | 特に、ドイルの短編「踊る人形」では、名探偵ホームズが黒い人形の暗号を解く姿にしびれた。
| |
| − | | |
| − | 「子供の落書きみたいな人形の絵を見たホームズは、これはアルファベットの『Ｎ』だと暗号を解く。これがすごくかっこいい。もし、この本を読んでいなかったら、たぶんコナンは描いていなかった」
| |
| − | 自身の小学校入学前後、映画館で長編アニメ「長靴をはいた猫」を見て、アニメーターになりたいと思ったという。漫画家を本気で目指したのは大学時代だ。
| |
| − | | |
| − | アニメ制作のために入った大学の漫画研究会で、漫画家の先輩、阿部ゆたかさんから「お前は、絵がうまいな。漫画家になってみないか」と誘われた。
| |
| − | | |
| − | ところが、実家で父親の大反対にあう。
| |
| − | | |
| − | 「俺はお前よりずっと絵がうまい友達を知っている。カニを描いたら今にも動き出しそうだ。しかし、そいつは貧乏で食うにも困っている。お前が絵で生きていけるわけがない！」
| |
| − | | |
| − | しかし、自信はあった。大学在学中にあみだした独自の画法だ。それまでの絵は、目が「タッチ」のあだち充さんで、つんとした鼻は「あしたのジョー」のちばてつやさん、口角が上がった口は「ルパン三世」のモンキーパンチさん－という有名漫画家の作品を生かした合体技。しかし、自身の絵に特徴をつけたいと、試行錯誤を続ける。発見したのが、交通標識のような独特の印象を持つ目の描き方だ。
| |
| − | | |
| − | 「これはいける！と思った。こんな描き方をする人は、他にいない。描きやすいし、一発で俺の絵と分かる」と直感した。
| |
| − | | |
| − | 一つのストーリーのために、トリックやヒント、犯人の動機、舞台設定などについて１２時間以上も細かく打ち合わせするのは、心底、作品とミステリーを愛しているからだろう。古今東西のミステリー小説、ドラマ、映画、実在の生活や友人、知人の職業、すべてを参考資料として活用する。
| |
| − | | |
| − | 「話を考えるのも好きだし、絵を描くのも好き。好きなことを仕事にするのは本当に楽しい」
| |
| − | | |
| − | 一方で、「もし連載開始がバブルの時代なら１８年も続かなかった」とも思う。その時代は次々と新しいものが求められた。バブル崩壊後の連載だからこそ「せっかく誕生した面白いものを長く続けないとやばいと思った」という。
| |
| − | | |
| − | 危機感は意図的に作り出す。毎年ゴールデンウイークに合わせて公開される映画では、常に「これが最後」と思い、全力投球する。
| |
| − | | |
| − | 人気に甘えず、常に緊張感を持って描き続けたことが、成功を引き寄せた。「いつかアニメの映画監督もしたい」。創作意欲はもちろん、旺盛なチャレンジ精神はまだまだ衰えない。
| |
| − | | |
| − | －－少年時代は？
| |
| − | | |
| − | 「コナンでいうと（少年探偵団の）光彦みたいにいろんなことを知っていて、知ったかぶりするタイプ。漫画もアニメも好きで、絵もよく描いていました」
| |
| − | | |
| − | －－今はどんな生活ですか？
| |
| − | | |
| − | 「朝の６時ごろまで仕事をして昼の１２時に起きます。コナン君を描いて１８年ですが、自分にとってはまだ５、６年しかたっていない感じ。『小１から読み始め、今は一児の母です』などと読者から報告を受けると、感慨深いですね」
| |
| − | | |
| − | －－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？
| |
| − | | |
| − | 「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」
| |
| − | | |
| − | －－コナンに登場する犯罪組織の黒幕は、男ですか、女ですか
| |

| − | An extra long interview that lasted over 2 hours with Detective Conan creator Aoyama Gosho (50). This time, he talks about the black orginization, how he creates tricks for cases, Kaito Kid...and he gives a full report on his future plans.
| |
| − | | |
| − | So... Please Enjoy! ^o^
| |
| − | | |
| − | I(Interviewer): So, It seems you have decided on the overall ending already right? Have you even planned the final scene?<br>A(Aoyama): On January 4 this year (2014) I went on a kind of talk show event held in my hometown in Tottori Prefecture, called "Let's Have a Chat with Aoyama Gosho Day!! 2014". And, there we had talked about the black organization, and the identity of their Boss. I had revealed that the Boss was someone that has already made an appearance and we already know their full name. So, it's a character we already know, and we also know their full name, but there has been some mistake that has gotten out there.It's been going around the internet...and it's wrong!!
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: That would be that it's Professor Agasa...<br>A: Right right. And it's even being said that it's the woman that Agasa liked, Fusae-chan ( Fusae Campbell Kinoshita), but that's wrong too. hahaha. Even personally, I think their story ended up beautifully. And it's been said many times that that story is just too nice, and that it just has to be her, but I don't think I want to have that be a major plot point.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: So, at the present moment, are there no other hints about the identity of "that person".<br>A: No, not for now. Just please look forward to it. (laughs)
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: So then, the black organization is full of mysteries. But, what sort of organization are they, and what is their goal? World Conquest?<br>A: Well, the world....or rather, they want control of lot's of money. They're moving stealthily in the shadows...sort of like (Al) Capone did right? Or, sort of like the image of the bad guys in 007 or something...sitting there stroking a cat. It's probably best not to say too much.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: Is there any standard procedure when you're drawing the black organization?<br>A: As for the members, like Gin or Vodka, their names must be some type of alcohol. But, I'm running low on different types. They're all distilled alcohols. And the girls, like Sherry and Vermouth, are named after sweet alcohols. (As for why) I just think it sounds cool.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: And as for Haibara Ai, did you intend from the start to have her on the side of the black organization, or did you always plan to have her develop in the way she has?<br>A: Yeah, even in volume 2 she had already made an appearance, though it was just a silhouette. And, because she's was a character sort of in between Conan and the organization, her name Haibara (灰原) came from Haiiro (灰色) meaning grey.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: The movie that came out at the end of last year "Lupin the 3rd VS Detective Conan THE MOVIE" (The second cross over movie) there's a scene where Haibara gets in the bath with Mine Fujiko. So, what direction is Haibara going from here on out?<br>A: Hahaha....Yeah, I don't know. I guess nature will have to take it's course (Laughs) The bathing scene was a little surprising. At first, my editor handed me the story board and was like "Aoyama-sensei, there's a scene here where Haibara gets in the bath with Fujiko!" And, I had read the script and didn't remember there being a scene like that in there. So, when I asked if we should have them cut it, he said that Monkey-sensei (Monkey Punch: the creator of Lupin the 3rd) requested there be a scene with Fujiko in the bath. So, I thought, if it's going to be in there I wanted it to be cool, so I added a bunch of lines, and there was a lot of content that got cut. There probably aren't any manga artists who are cutting things from animations. But I had originally wanted to be an animator.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Haibara's lines are my true intentions
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: The lines that Haibara says when she's merely muttering to herself are impressive and actually very poetic.<br>A: The only person thinking them up is me, so I struggle with it. She herself is an easy character to write, because the things she says, I could say in real life. The things I couldn't have Conan say inspire what Haibara says. And you could say that those things are my true intentions. If there were someone that killed a person to protect a bear, Haibara would look at them with an angry face and say "You can't take animal rights that far", but if it were Conan he would say some harsh words. Because they'll say some indiscreet line with a stern face, Haibara and Kogoro are valuable.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: Even if Kogoro is an idiot who's always joking around, he does have some cool moments doesn't he.<br>A: I created him with the image of just a generally bad detective. He has a habit of misreading things, but he's actually very important. When he should be cool, he isn't. He's very easy to write. I can easily write some perverted thing I'm thinking. I'm probably most like Kogoro.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: So it's safe to say that your true intentions/thoughts are hidden in Haibara and Kogoro's lines?<br>A: Yes, those two are very easy to write.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: How do you think up the tricks?<br>A: It's painful. Every time it's very difficult. But, there are times when my editor will also come to me with an idea. When we go into a meeting I'll ask "have you seen anything interesting recently? Have you read any novels? Is there anything we could use?" and if there's anything interesting, we'll use it. Of course, we'll end up changing everything about it though. And then we'll start asking various people things. My younger brother is a doctor so, I'll ask him about the time of death, rigor mortis, how much postmortem lividity appears etc. It's important to wring out the foundation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: Do you ever try out the tricks in real life?<br>A: For ones we can test, we test mostly all of them. A long time ago there was one where an answering machine was used as a tape recorder and then the tape was recovered. We had to actually test that. And just recently we tested if you could float a tomato on water using salt. We wanted to know how much salt would it take. And in order to get it to float, you have to put a ton of salt in the water. So, we didn't know what to do with that. But, at first, if you put just enough salt in there so that it's not quite floating, but it hasn't quite sunken either, and then you just barely sprinkle a tiny bit more in, it floats right to the top. And I thought that was really cool.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: If you test things too much you'd probably get hurt wouldn't you.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | I: There is a lot of variation in the stories, but do you ever reference cases that occurred in real life?<br>A: Actually I don't reference cases that have actually happened. That would probably be a little inconsiderate. But, actually a few weeks after I had drawn the Bus Jacking case, something similar to that had occurred in real life. I thought "Oh man, this is bad. Should I stop drawing Conan." Although, I could probably use cases from a long time ago. Like the "3 hundred million yen case" (He is referencing the largest heist in Japanese history. It occurred in 1968 in Tokyo, and has yet to be solved.) But I couldn't reference cases that are still ongoing or that have recently occurred. It might seem like I'm making fun of it, or making light of it, and that wouldn't be good.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: Of the tricks and the story, which do you think of first?<br>A: Without a doubt, the tricks. And then I write a story for the tricks. Because I start with the most difficult thing and go from there. The trick will take about a half a day, or about 6 hours. If it goes quickly, maybe 3 hours. But even in 1 day, there's stuff I can't get done. There are times when I'll only get to sleep about an hour and a half. So, I'll be like "I'm gonna sleep, so hang on a little while."
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: Of these past 20 years, what trick are you most satisfied with?<br>A: Hmm...What would that be? Maybe I should ask you that. But, the code with the sun and the moon (vol 12), the secret to that was originally from Sherlock Holmes in "The Adventure of the Dancing Men". That's one that you can figure out on your own. That's also the first Holmes story I read. I was really excited and very moved. I was a kid, so I couldn't read English, but I still thought it was really cool. Even if it said, this person is an "L", as a kid it still didn't click immediately and I would read it while referencing the dictionary.I was in about 2nd or 3rd grade. I thought "wow, Holmes is cool. I want to do that someday."
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: Where do you get the news and lingo related to the police and investigations?<br>A: I've asked the Tokyo Metropolitan Police. They'll tell me various things.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Kid is a sneaky character
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: Kid is also a very popular character. Could you tell us the details of his creation, and your future plans for him? Is he going to be involved with Conan and the black orginization?<br>A: Well, he's originally from my previous work called "Magic Kaito". I created that because I really liked Arsene Lupin and Lupin the 3rd. And recently he got involved a little with the black orginization during the Bell Tree Express case (the mystery train case from vol 78) but from here on out I don't think he will very much. Kaito Kid is a very sneaky character. He can disguise himself, and he can change his voice and stuff. It's better if he's an enemy. He's too sneaky to be an ally. There are a lot of female fans of his, but I don't plan on bringing him out too much.(wry smile)
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: There are creators who decide how much a character will make and appearance completely on their own.<br>A: Yeah, there are. Just freely doing whatever they want. When there's a movie, saying things like "No, don't have them say something like that" and then changing everything. Then they'll notice how it ends and really just change everything.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: The Conan anime is faithful to the original.<br>A: Yeah, that's because it's a very long story. If it wasn't faithful to it, it would become inconsistent. And at the beginning I asked them to please do just as the original does.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: When a movie comes out, I heard you are very involved.<br>A: I am. There's the feeling with a movie that you can do larger scale things that you couldn't do in a manga.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: I also heard that there was an idea to set something up that would link the "Lupin the 3rd VS Conan THE MOVIE" with the 18th Conan movie "The Sniper from another Dimension".<br>A: The setting is the "Tree" but we weren't allowed to use the name "Sky Tree" (The Tokyo Sky Tree is a tower recently built in Tokyo). They weren't sure about having people dying there. They were probably right about that. (wry smile)
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: I guess there aren't too many differences between making it a movie, or for TV, but the TV series is steadily becoming larger scale.<br>A: Just as long as they don't interfere with the original.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: Last year the Conan series was awarded the Fujimoto's "Special Series Award". There was an award recognizing the people who make it, and as one of the great anime which have crossed over to become movies.<br>A: Yeah, that's amazing isn't it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I: Even as a movie and anime, you're still pretty involved aren't you?<br>A: I feel I might as well get involved. At first I was just going to completely leave it up to them, but then I thought, well, I better not. And I ended up changing things on all the scripts. And I was wondering if that's really something a manga artist does. It was a lot of work. After I would finish the name (the term for the "story board" like stage of a manga) I would read scripts and check them. That's a lot of work.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q(Questioner): So, you originally wanted to be an animator, and in college you were part of a manga study group. Why did you change to wanting to become a manga artist?<br>A(Aoyama): That's because I like making stories. And, I also like manga. And, I couldn't just suddenly go from wanting to be an animator, to wanting to be a director. But, as a manga artist, I'm really effectively always working as a director. So, really, it's just because I wanted to write stories.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: But it seems your father was completely opposed to it right?<br>A: Not just my dad, but really my whole family was opposed to the idea. They told me I should probably stop, when I told them I would become a manga artist. They said "I knew an illustrator. He could draw a crab so life-like that it looked like it would jump off the page. But despite that, he died poor. Do you want to be like that?" But, from the time "Magic Kaito" came out their responses changed. I always go back to my hometown on New Year's and I'll draw pictures and sign autographs that people requested from my family, and one time, I was sitting in the living room drawing, and my old man came in, he asked me to draw (Nakamori) Aoko-chan, and I just thought "Yes, I won!"(Laughs)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: By the advice of your upperclassman in college, you decided to aim for your manga debut, but originally you took your manuscript to a different company? Is that right?<br>A: It was Kodansha's weekly published Shonen Magazine. When I drew the prototype for Magic Kaito, I got an honorable mention or something, and just when I was thinking I was gonna draw for that magazine, the editor changed and the new guy didn't seem to like my style. He said "If you want to continue, you'll need to change your drawing and writing style." I didn't really like the sound of that, and and editor at the time, who would later become editor-in-chief, told me that if I didn't think changing my style sounded good, then I should probably just go to a different magazine. So I went right on to Shonen Sunday and made my debut drawing non-serialized stories.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Did you ever think you would fail as a manga artist, or did you regret your decision?<br>A: I completely thought that. I didn't think it would be this busy! It's more difficult being a manga artist than becoming a manga artist. When you're new, you want to hurry and get a serialized story before you're forgotten so you spend every day drawing names (Rough story boards for manga), but once you actually get serialized, it's way busier. (Before you're serialized) It's beyond your imagination. "Detective Conan" is particularly busy. In the days I was drawing "YAIBA" it was way more peaceful. The pictures were difficult, because it was an action manga. If I hurried I could get the names done in about a day, and could get everything finished in about 5 or 6 days. Then, with my left over time I'd go play baseball. My assistant would be like "Let's go play ball!" And, I still had free time left over. If I tried to do that while making "Conan" it'd be too difficult...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Usually, your work week is 3 days for the name, and 4 days for the manuscript?<br>A: Yes. And my daily routine is usually, I go to sleep at about 10 am, and wake up at around 1 pm, that's when my assistants usually arrive. I'll usually write a sign that says something like "Wake me up when you get here -Aoyama-" So, my sleep time is about 3 hours. It's usually like that. I'll work and then at around midnight I'll usually get tiered and tell them I'm gonna go sleep for about 30 minutes. They'll wake me up, and we'll work through to morning. And that goes on and on for 20 years. (Laughs)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: What about your meals?<br>A: When I wake up, I'll always eat udon or soba or something. Then at about 7 pm I'll usually order something. I'm always ordering delivery. But in the middle of the night I'll go to a convenience store or something. A long time ago, sometimes my assistants would make something. Now that we're working off computers we're even more busy and my assistants don't have time to make any food either. Our dinner is from a convenience store! My favorite thing from there is oden. It's delicious and healthy.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: After 20 years of working, have your methods changed?<br>A: After about 3 hours of work, I'll take about a 30 to an hour and a half break. Maybe sleep for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes sleep, I'm rested enough.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Do you have any superstitions?<br>A: When I'm about to start work I'll spin my chair before I sit down. It's sort of become a habit.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Do you ever think "Based on that spin, it feels like today's gonna be a good day"?<br>A: No, not really. (laughs) It's just a stupid habit of mine.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: I heard that tendinitis is common among manga artists, but do you take any precautionary measures?<br>A: Well, it seemed like I was headed in the direction of developing it, so, probably over 10 years ago I switched to using milipens (type of pen). A long time ago I just used the regular G-pen, but that requires more pressure and my hands would hurt, but when I draw with milipens I could draw all the lines very easily. "YAIBA" was completely drawn by pen, but I guess "Conan" was only done with pen in the beginning. With the thick and thin lines in Conan, with a regular pen you could just do it with one stroke, but with a milipen, you have to go over it several times to get the right thickness. If you're a person who's never used a pen, then you won't know that amount of pressure that needs to be applied, so if you're just starting out as a manga artist, please use a pen.
| |
| − | An other thing that's changed is the about 3 or 4 years ago we switched to using computers for the drawing, and we don't have to apply tone by hand anymore.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: The Conan movie that is coming to theaters in April "The Sniper from a Different Dimension", it has some very pivotal and mysterious characters like Akai Shuichi and Okiya Subaru making their first appearances in a movie, and they seem to play a key role.<br>A: Well, I can't really say too much, but if you go see it, a "certain something" gets confirmed in the movie. It may be the first time a movie gets there before the manga on a main plot point. If you're a fan, you won't want to miss it. It's very cool.

| − | Q: In the manga, Akai presence has been gradually becoming felt.<br>A: It's a very scary and cool image. In the manga, various mysteries are going to be cleared up. Of course that is to be expected from a mystery series. (laughs) Like the waterfall that Holmes fell over with Professor Moriarty (Reichenbach), the place where Akai was shot was called Raiha Ridge. (Reichenbach in Japanese is ライヘンバッハ or Raihenbahha which if you take out the middle becomes "Raiha") And after Holmes fell into the falls, he was still alive right?
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: So that's a clue isn't it.<br>A: Yeah. Of course I'm a big Holmes fan. But Akai's name I took from from "Mobile Suit Gundam".
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: In the explanation of the key characters on the site for the movie, it is written that the FBI investigator James Black is a fan of Mine Fujiko. Was that decision influenced by the "Lupin VS Conan" movie?<br>A: That's sort of a fan service. It's sort of interesting when stuff like that is written. Black knows about various things. And those character explanations were also written by me. At first, only Akai's was long, so I made the others match his length, and added the bit about Fujiko.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Nowadays, the manga artists of the original work are becoming more and more involved with the theatrical version of the movies as well, but I've never heard of the original author even writing the character profiles on the movie's site.<br>A: Am I the most involved manga artist? I just added a few notes to what the advertising department wrote. There were several hints in the parts I wrote. I wrote several very fishy things.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Why is it that you are so involved?<br>A: I just like anime. I originally wanted to be an animator after all. I just ask if I can see any news before they release it. They let me get away with a lot.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Speaking of originally wanting to be an animator, what do you think about the anime series?<br>A: There are times when I think "thank you for taking it to such an extent," but there are also times when I think about how they went through such trouble to draw it, and it's ended up like this. When things are good I tell the editor over the phone "tell them they're doing a good job."
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: The anime has things that the manga doesn't like sound and movement. Have there been any other effects by the anime on the Conan world?<br>A: Yeah, in the "Moonlight Sonata Murder Case" (manga volume 7, anime episode 11) Beethoven's Sonata "Moonlight" is flowing through Moonshadow Island. You can't hear the music in the manga. When I was drawing it I could here it myself, but that can't be conveyed to the reader. But it can to the viewer with the anime. I thought that was really cool and exciting.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Do you ever take inspiration from other manga artists who have had long running series or manga that have been made into successful anime, or from voice actors?<br>A: Of course. I'm influenced strongly by the voice of the actors, definitely. I'll have an idea for the voice of a character in my head. Conan is voiced by Takayama Minami, and Mitsuhiko, at first I sort of was drawing him with more of a mischievous face, sort of like Suneo (a character from Doraemon), but Otani Ikue has a cute voice, so I started drawing him with a cuter face. And Conan always says "あれれ？(roughly, a cutesy kid way of saying "Oh? What's this?")". Originally he said that in the first volume but didn't really say it after that, but when Takayama said it in the anime, it was cute, and I started having him say it more. In the beginning, it was only my influence on the drawings, but the influence of others is good. I'm very glad, and I'd like to say thank you very much.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: You like sports too right? I heard you like the Giants, and soccer. So, what do you think about Japan in the World Cup this year?<br>A: It's great isn't it. I like Honda Keisuke who went to AC Milan. I was thinking "this guy is good" before he started really making a name for himself. He's got a big mouth doesn't he. He looks cool. He's a man of his word. He's number 10 for AC Milan....that's so cool. It seems like he's gonna do something really great. I hope he gives it his all.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Do you watch European Soccer?<br>A: I used to a long time ago. I really liked (former Italian player) Roberto Baggio. I liked Serie A. And I really liked Juventus because Baggio originally played with them. Their uniform was really cool too, with the black stripes. It actually influenced the uniform of the Tokyo Spirits in my manga. So, yeah, I like Juventus. Usually I'll take a vacation once every 4 years, and I'll go see the World Cup. I went to see in person the '98 France World Cup, with Japan vs Argentina. I'm gonna go with my editor this year too.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Conan's Super Kick Shoes have soccer influences as well don't they.<br>A: Conan began serialization in '94, and it was around that time that the J-league had just started ('93). So, I'm sorry for hopping on a fad like that.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: There are also Kendo and martial arts motifs aren't there.<br>A: That's because I was in the Kendo club at school.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Changing topics, about a news paper, you haven't designed one have you?<br>A: No, I haven't. But the Nikkan Sports News Paper printed a full page advertisement of the Bell Tree Express. I was so happy. I framed it and hung it in my room.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Sports newspapers themselves play important roles here and there don't they. With the Sumo wrestling record chart etc., I'm glad the contents in real life are different than the story. But anyway, lastly, could you give a message to your fans, especially the young people.<br>A: Thank you for supporting me these past 20 years. And thank you for your future support as well. If you're thinking "should I give up on becoming a manga artist? Is it too difficult?" No...I have fan letters saying "I think I want to be a manga artist.", but I just want to say, be prepared, and resolute.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: When you've ended Conan, are there any themes you'd like to try out?<br>A: Journey to the West! I really like it. And, I wanted to do something like that. But, well, too many years have gone by. If this were when I was drawing YAIBA, I could easily do it, but now it would be too hard.
| |
| − | I'd like to draw some kind of Science Fiction too. That'd be good. If I could have a break from Conan, I'd draw that. (laughs)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Lastly, could you give a few words to the readers of the Monthly Conan Newspaper, about the core of Conan.<br>A: The next movie is a production that couldn't be done as a manga. It could only be done as a movie, and it's very cool. It couldn't be done in the manga, and it has a lot of ties to the original story. This could only be done in anime. And, because this couldn't be done with manga, there's a ton of action packed cool stuff in it. Normally, the movie wouldn't go ahead of the original work and reveal something about the story. This is the first time. If people think "What? Is that all?" I don't know what I'll do. (Laughs) We can probably only do this with a movie. You'll probably think "Ah, I see." So, please look forward to it.

| |
| − | | |
| − | 今回はこれまでと違う試みがいくつかあると思いますが、初めてスナイパーが犯人として登場しますね。
| |
| − | | |
| − | ―青山剛昌先生（以下、青山）<br>
| |
| − | そうなんです。これまでは爆破シーンが多かったじゃないですか。だから今回はずっと登場させたかったスナイパーにしてみようと思ったんです。敵は自分が見えているのに自分は敵が見えない怖さ、スリルを出せると思いました。でもコナンは犯人追跡メガネを持っているから、ある意味彼もスナイパーみたいなものかもしれません（笑）
| |
| − | 子ども向けの映画ではりますが、ハードな部分もあって実はすごく大人向けなんです。
| |
| − | | |
| − | ―AA<br>
| |
| − | 世良真純、沖矢昴など原作の重要人物が劇場版に登場するのも初だとか。
| |
| − | | |
| − | ―青山 <br>
| |
| − | こんなにサービスしたのは初めてです。この劇場版を見ないと原作がわからないというわけでは無いですが、原作でまだ出していないネタも出して、ネタばらししている部分もあります。
| |
| − | | |
| − | ―AA <br>
| |
| − | 青山先生は劇場版に対してどう関わっていますか？
| |
| − | | |
| − | ―青山<br>
| |
| − | 1作目からすごく関わっていますよ、原作ファンにはやっぱり楽しんでもらいたいから。
| |
| − | 僕もモンキー・パンチ先生みたいに「僕は見るのが楽しみ」なんておまかせでもいいかな、なんて思うこともありますが、僕も関わるのをけっこう楽しんでいますので。
| |
| − | もちろん忙しさで大変な部分もありますが。
| |
| − | | |
| − | ―AA <br>
| |
| − | 年に一度のペースで劇場版を公開されていますが、青山先生にとって劇場版コナンはどんな存在でしょうか。
| |
| − | | |
| − | ―青山 <br>
| |
| − | 怪盗キッドが劇場版に登場したら原作にも登場させたりと、原作と劇場版で一緒に盛り上げられる……
| |
| − | そうですね、バイオリズムみたいなものです！ オリンピック選手がオリンピックに向けて技術や体調を整えるように、僕もそこに向かって盛り上げる。今回のように原作と同じネタで盛り上がるのは初めてです。
| |
| − | | |
| − | ―AA<br>
| |
| − | ゲストキャストとして参加している福士蒼汰さん（ケビン・ヨシノ役）、パトリック・ハーランさん（ジャック・ウォルツ役）はいかがでしたか。
| |
| − | | |
| − | ―青山<br>
| |
| − | 福士さんは声優初挑戦ということでしたが、クライマックスの演技がすごくうまくてびっくりしました。パックンの演技も言うことなしの良さだったと思います。
| |

| − | ―AA <br>
| |
| − | 試写を終えてみて、印象に残っているシーンは？
| |

| − | 原作連載20周年、劇場版も18作目ですが、アイデアはどこから得ていますか？
| |
| − | | |
| − | ―青山 <br>
| |
| − | 映画やドラマを見て研究しています。最近のお気に入りはドラマ『福家警部補の挨拶』で音楽がかっこよくて好きです。最近見た映画では『ローン・レンジャー』『96時間 リベンジ』。
| |
| − | 映画は基本的にミステリーが多くて、気になる台詞があったら巻き戻してメモをとったりしています、やっぱり同業他社みたいなもので気になってしまうんです。
| |

| |
| − | | |
| − | ―青山 <br>
| |
| − | 僕は裏設定をすごくたくさん考えるんです。「この人、実はこうだったんだよ」とたまに登場させると奥行きが出るのかもしれません。裏設定がたくさんあるのに死んでしまった人もいますが、そういうのを考えるのも楽しいです。
| |
| − | 女子高生探偵の世良ちゃんも色々な設定を作り込んでいて、今回の劇場版のとあるシーンにもコッソリそれを盛り込んでもらっています。それがどこかは劇場で是非観てください！（笑）

| − | Anime ! Anime ! (will be shortened as ''AA''): This time, even if there has been some attempts before, the criminal is a sniper, right ?<br>
| |
| − | Aoyama : That's right. Up until now, there were a lot of bombing cases, so I thought it would be great to have a movie with a sniper. In my mind, the idea that the criminal could see without being seen was thrilling. Well, since Conan has criminal-tracking glasses, he's a bit like a sniper himself (laughs) Even though the movie is suitable for kids, there are certain parts of the film that are more adult.
| |
| − | | |
| − | AA: It's also the first time important manga characters like Masumi Sera and Okiya Subaru make an appearance in the movies.<br>
| |
| − | Aoyama: It's the first time we've done so much. Even if there's nothing in this movie that hasn't been shown in the manga, there's still a scene that is a spoiler and that hasn't been drawn in the manga.
| |
| − | | |
| − | AA: How much were you involved in this movie ?<br>
| |
| − | Aoyama: I'm very involved, and it has been like this since the first movie. The fans of the manga want to have fun watching the movie after all. I like Monkey Punch's viewpoint, which is to let go and let the production team do their work alone, but I like being involved. Of course, it's difficult to be very involved because how busy we are.
| |
| − | | |
| − | AA: Conan movies are released annually, but what do you do with them [in the original work] ?<br>
| |
| − | Aoyama: Well, if, say, it's a Kaitou Kid movie, I'm going to make Kid appear in the manga as well, because it's exciting to have both. It's like a biorythm ! As Olympic athletes who train to prepare for the event, I do the same with the manga. It's the first time that the story of the movie is the same as the manga and it's exciting.
| |
| − | | |
| − | AA: How was it to have Sota Fukushi-san (as Kevin Yoshino) and Patrick Harlan (as Jack Waltz) in the movie?<br>
| |
| − | Aoyama: Fukushi-san was the first actor to be chosen, and his performance in the climax of the movie is very good. Patrick-kun's acting is great too.
| |
| − | | |
| − | AA: After having watched the movie, what scene left an impression on you ?<br>
| |
| − | Aoyama: The climax scene at the Bell Tree Tower. If you watch the movie, you'll find that scene thrilling for sure.
| |
| − | | |
| − | AA: The manga celebrates its 20th birthday, and this is the 18th movie. But where do all your ideas come from ?<br>
| |
| − | Aoyama: I study closely the movies and dramas I watch. My personal favorite recently is ''Inspector Fukuie's Greetings'', I like its music. I'm also watching ''Lone Ranger'' and ''96 Hours of Revenge'' these days. There're a lot of mysteries in these films, so I rewind them when there's an interesting line. The scripwriters are my peers in this industry.
| |
| − | | |
| − | AA: Amid the good guys and the villains, there are some profound characters with various backgrounds. Please tell us more about character-making.<br>
| |
| − | Aoyama: I think of the background of the characters a lot. When you think ''Oh, this person is actually different than I thought!'', it gives depth to the character. The victims have a backstory too, so it's fun to think it up. I also created an important background for the female high school detective Sera-chan, and I included a bit of it in the movie. Please go discover that in the cinemas ! (laughs)
| |
| − | | |
| − | AA: Not only do famous actors appear in the movie, but there's also Shibasaki Kou. There was also a collaboration with Lupin the Third. Is there a collaboration you would like to do in the future ?<br>
| |
| − | Aoyama: Doing a collaboration with Lupin the Third was a wish come true. I didn't think it would be done one day. We are preparing another collaboration in order to celebrate Conan's 20 year anniversary, it will be out this autumn. Some details are going to be made public, stay tuned!
| |
| − | | |
| − | AA : Finally, could you give a message to your fans ?<br>
| |
| − | Aoyama : The ending of the movie is very cool. You should read the Sunday after reading the movie. But no worries if you don't ! (laughs) There's going to be something very important in the Detective Conan chapter of the Shounen Sunday of the 23rd of April. ''Scarlet Showdown'' is going to be released, so watch it along with the movie !

| − | | |
| − | [T/N: So apparently a large chunk of this interview was never typed up AND this is only the cross talk with Takeru Satoh, not the "LONG INTERVIEW" from this issue of the magazine.]
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Takeru Satoh x Gosho Aoyama cross talk (partial interview)'''<br>
| |
| − | (Interviewer?): Going on for 20 years is exceptional, isn’t it? Is thinking of the trick the hardest part?<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: I think of the trick together with the chief editor during meetings. So, every time the editor changes, it’s a bother. I have to explain to him things all over again, like who the boss of the organization is, etc.<br> | |
| − | {{font color|red|Satoh}}: You’re nonchalantly talking about an amazing topic. That subject is sensitive… I’m purposefully not thinking much about it, because I want to be surprised at the reveal. But… when did you decide on who was the boss?<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Hmm… it was about here, I guess. (While picking up a volume of the manga that was there)<br>
| |
| − | (all present) Ooooohh!! That’s a big hint!
| |
| − | | |
| − | (Interviewer): This isn’t good. If you read that volume you’ll figure it out. I can’t write this.<br>
| |
| − | A point worthy of note in Conan is also the love-comedy, isn’t it?<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: The love-comedy scenes are a big hassle. It takes a long time to think up cool lines for those situations.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Satoh}}: I love Haibara. I really do. She’s a scientist and so cool.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Haibara, huh? Haibara is pretty popular.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Satoh}}: At the beginning, we didn’t know if she was a friend or an enemy. But in the end, there is the moment where she opens her heart. She caught my heart when she ate Ran’s rice porridge and cutely said “hot…!” (volume 41, “The Secret Hidden in the Restroom”). I’m certain that Haibara likes Conan. But, understanding their complicated situation, she doesn’t take action. That’s on my mind. I also like Hayashibara Megumi-san. She has a beautiful voice.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: When making a character, I think “if I draw/write her like this, she’ll be popular”, I can more or less anticipate it. But, just for Haibara, her popularity highly exceeded my expectations. I think Hayashibara-san’s voice is loud. Haibara Ai’s Ai comes from Irene Adler. The only one to have defeated Sherlock Holmes, “that woman”.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Satoh}}: Huh? Isn’t that important information!?<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Yes, it’s the first time I’ve revealed it. In the manga, it’s said that “Ai” comes from the “I” in “V.I. Warshawsky”, but the truth is that it comes from Irene. It’s my special present to you.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|red|Satoh}}: Awesome! Thank you very much!<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: [T/N: I don’t know what he’s saying exactly. Attempted translation: “If I were to spoil “that”, I thought it’d be good to make them link. That information is secret though. Rather… you’d find out that person’s real identity.” he says ano hito, not ano kata, so I’m not sure who he’s talking about…]
| |
| − | | |
| − | (Interviewer): Eh!? You just said something important without hesitation!?<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Right now, Sera is fun to write.<br>[T/N: yes he jumps from one topic to another randomly, these interviews are weird]
| |
| − | | |
| − | (Interviewer): She’s suspected of being Akai’s sister, and it seems like she’s related with Conan from the past, a mysterious person. She’ll probably influence future developments in a big way. The fans also think that Haneda Shūkichi is a key person.<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Well, he is… quite complex. He’ll appear from now on too. Soon, I’ll go collect data at the professional shogi players' championship series. Haneda’s “Hane” comes from Yoshiharu Habu [T/N: the kanji 羽 can be read both “Hane” and just “Ha”]. In the manga, things like “that person’s” real identity and even more will be revelead one after the other. [T/N:: again, “ano hito”, not “ano kata”, so I’m not sure he’s talking about the boss, that would be insane…] First, Amuro Tōru’s real name will be revealed. Then, why did he think of Haibara’s mother, Elena, will also be explained. [T/N: not sure about this phrase.] Two mothers will also be revealed as being sisters, etc.…… A lot of things are connected together. This is bad, I’m talking too much. Well, please look forward to the manga.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Please! Please, let me ask 2 more questions! What is the BO’s goal? Going by the APTX4869, I would think immortality…<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: That’s wrong. It’s true that you’d think that, isn’t it? You see, right now, something really big is happening within the organization.<br>
| |
| − | Eeeh, I’m super curious! Then, the question everyone wants answered. Who is Anokata? [T/N: used “ano kata” this time, not “hito”.] Agasa Hakase was being rumored for a long time, but you have officially denied it. Conan’s father, Kudō Yūsaku is also a very big contender…<br>
| |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Yūsaku is also wrong. Now I’ve decided. From now on, I will never accept questions about “Anokata”! [T/N: not “ano hito” this time.] I mean, it would be no fun if it was figured out. Readers, let’s continue our deduction battle!
