Michihiko Suwa is the producer of the TV anime and movie series Detective Conan (Meitantei Conan), also known as Case Closed based on the manga by Gosho Aoyama. In part one of MANGA.TOKYO’s interview with Suwa, we learn about the beginnings of the anime as well as how the anime staff are careful not to slip up when adapting Aoyama’s manga.

青山先生直撃インタビュー

2017年11月30日青山剛昌先生宅にて。
+
'''— Could you tell us how the plan for the anime adaptation of Detective Conan developed?'''
  
−
サンデー３・４合併号にて「あの方」の正体がついに判明。週刊誌での漫画連載は一旦お休みしつつ、映画第22弾のコンテ確認作業を進めている青山剛昌先生に現在の心境などを直撃した。
+
The first chapter of the original manga Detective Conan series, also known as Case Closed, was published in 1994 in Shonen Sunday. I guess it was a countermeasure against the rival manga magazine which had started a detective manga series The Kindaichi Case Files in 1992. I had a close connection with the editorial staff in Shonen Sunday, so I heard about a new detective manga before its publication. When I read the first chapter, I was instantly captured by its clever tricks. I kept reading it for 10 weeks and made up my mind to make an anime adaptation.
  
−
今日はですね、「あの方」がついに指摘されたと言うことで、みんなが知りたいことをズバリ伺いさせて頂こうかなと思います。<br>青山　はいはい（笑）
+
Protagonist Shinichi Kudo was a 17-year-old detective but ends up having the body of a first-grade child because of a drug he was forced to swallow. I thought this setting was ‘a big lie’, and that was why it would nicely fit for anime. While discussing the anime adaptation plan, I convinced the editorial staff that I would respect the original which had an unrealistic setting, but otherwise was serious and a realistic mystery-solving story.
  
−
ダメな質問は上手くボカして頂けてればと。ちなみに同日にこないだ撮影させて頂いた動画（「サンデーうえぶり」上にてアプリ限定公開）も解禁します。<br>青山　へー、そうなんだ（笑）はいはい。
+
At the time, Yomiuri Telecasting was airing the anime series Magic Knight Rayearth at 7:30 on Monday evening, but I wasn’t sure which TV block Detective Conan would be scheduled into. Although we didn’t know exactly when it would start airing, we began developing the plan aiming to air in January or February 1995.
  
−
まずは、その動画でも伺ったのですが、青山さんの今の心境としてはいかがでしょうか。<br>青山　いやぁまぁ…いつか言わなきゃなぁと。ちょっと急ぎすぎるかなとは思ったけど、まぁいいかなぁと…結構ファンの間でも、アナグラムのヒント（90巻FILE 2）あたりから「＃＃じゃね」と言われていたし、これまでも年賀状で「＃＃ですか？」と聞いてくれる人がいてね。当たってるって返事書いちゃって良い？って、担当編集に聞いたんだけど「いや、それはちょっと…」と止められていてね（笑）あ、これインタビューにちゃんと書いといてね（笑）年賀状は他にも、早い段階で「領域外の妹」のこととか当ててる人がいて、その人たちには「当たってるよ、でも言わないでね（笑）」って書いたけど、＃＃に関しては全スルー。
+
We asked TMS Entertainment, then called Tokyo Movie Shinsha, to take care of the anime production, because they had brilliant staff members. They created Magic Knight Rayearth and I appreciated their effort to create such great visuals. We also made an offer to Kenji Kodama for the director’s role. We had worked together on City Hunter before, so I told him it wasn’t an action but a mystery anime. He replied that he actually preferred mystery to action, and rather enjoyed creating mystery episodes more than the action ones while directing the Lupin III series. For the script, we wanted someone who was specialized in live-action dramas, so we invited Kanji Kashiwabara, who had been working on scripts for many detective dramas. He pulled some strings and Kazunari Kouchi, Junichi Miyashita, and Yuichi Higurashi joined us. We also asked script writers for anime to join our production team. For music, we asked Katsuo Ono, who was responsible for the music in a popular detective drama series called Taiyo ni Hoero, because we wanted the music of the anime to be comparable to suspense dramas for adults. Our idea was to create new mystery anime which is different from the others, and could be enjoyed by both children and adults.
  
−
ボスが「＃＃＃＃」って、決められたのはいつ頃ですか？<br>青山　いやぁもう…ちゃんと決めたのは３０巻だね。出てくるの30巻だから。ボス出してとかなきゃ（笑）思いまして…
+
'''— What do you pay attention to when creating the anime?'''
  
−
ネットではまさに、「あの方」についていろんな予想が立てられましたが。<br>青山　ほうほう。
+
We have some rules, like using the word ‘body’ instead of ‘corpse’, and have blood look ‘black’ not ‘red’. That’s because we wanted the anime to be a mystery-solving story from the first place. We avoid showing scenes of a knife stabbing somebody or a bullet hitting victims, as long as they aren’t related to the tricks of a mystery. It airs in the evening in Japan, so there might be viewers who are in the middle of their dinner. We take extra care not to offend anyone, especially people who aren’t anime fans. We used to use ‘murder case’ in its titles quite a lot at the beginning, but stopped using it two or three years later, because we want to show not the crime itself, but how Conan solves a mystery after the crime happens. Our priority lies in showing the genius mystery-solving skills of Shinichi Kudo under the name of Conan Edogawa.
  
−
優作じゃないの、とか、光彦じゃないの、とか。<br>青山　えー、いやー（笑い）全然違いますよ、ぶぶぶって（笑）でもさすがに当ててくる人が増えてきたからね。
+
While I believe Detective Conan is a superb mystery, the manga author Gosho Aoyama thinks of it as a comedy drama that focuses on its characters with an element of romantic comedy between Shinichi and Ran Mouri. I think that’s the strength of Detective Conan. It stands out from many other mystery stories. Furthermore, although we don’t know what type of characters will be popular, as everybody has their own tastes, our viewers can find their favorite among the varieties of characters in the anime. Aoyama creates many characters who have their individual charms, and we put them in the mystery solving stories. That’s why Detective Conan is different from any other mystery anime.
  
−
担当編集も、30巻頃では、別に聞かされていなかったと思うんですが。<br>青山　えー、その時、誰かな、担当。
+
'''— Is there anything you didn’t expect because the series has become such a long-runner?'''
  
−
4代目くらいですね。ちなみに、「あの方」という言葉が最初に出てきたのは24巻でジンが「あの方直々の命令だ…」というシーンです、その時から「組織にはボスがいる」と決められていたんですか？<br>青山　ぶっちゃけ1巻から決めてたよ（笑）でも実はボスが（ピー）は、この24巻からかなぁ…。でもホンとは（ピー）なんだけどね（笑）
+
In the anime’s timeline, it has been less than a year since the roller coaster murder case. Many incidents have happened in Beika Town during that time. Only about 250 days have passed in the anime world, but we’ve made about 880 episodes. The town must be in a mess, since, mathematically speaking, there are three to four incidents happening in a day. [laugh] We must welcome the situation because a long-running series means the anime has dedicated fans. Aoyama once said that there has been only one Christmas and one Valentine’s Day in the anime. That demonstrates things in the anime are in safe hands. We’ve seen Conan’s birthday, but not Ran’s yet. I presume he already has his plan for her birthday, so we won’t imply anything about hers in the anime. We don’t want to change anything about its setting.
  
−
こないだ録らせて頂いた動画でも、＃＃にはまだ秘密があるとおっしゃってましたが。<br>青山　めっちゃありますね（笑）だって（ピー）はボスの（ピー）だから（ピーピー）されて（ピー）なわけじゃん。このへん全部、「ピー」だね（笑）
+
At the beginning of the series, we didn’t have smartphones therefore the characters were using flip phones. We didn’t expect such technological advancements at that time. Conan likes new things, so he tries them without hesitation. If he had been in possession of a smartphone 20 years ago, some mysteries might been solved easily with it. Perhaps we are living in a difficult time for mystery stories.
  
−
ですね（笑）<br>青山　それはそれで面白いかもね（笑）おお、すげーこと言ってるって（笑）
+
In the manga, Conan and Ai Haibara make a remark about something which is seemingly unrelated at the end of each case. Later, it turns out to be something really significant in another episode. Aoyama’s use of such foreshadowing is increasing recently, so the current director, Yashuichiro Yamamoto, is careful about not to miss any minor details in the manga.
  
−
これからもいろいろなるんだーって、思えますからね。ちなみに、＃＃と決められてからは、作中にヒントを出されたと思うんですが。やっぱり最初は「七つの子」ですか？<br>青山　そうですね、まぁ、「七つの子」はカラスだしね…
+
In short, there is a main storyline in the manga, which is like a big river flowing throughout the story, and the anime original parts we create are like floating leaves on the river. We know we shouldn’t obstruct the flow. Detective Conan has the major plot of Conan pursuing the Black Organization. Only Aoyama can deal with the plot, therefore we take extra care to include every single detail in the anime, as it might be related to the plot. I think we’ve done a good job in this regard so far.
  
−
あと、組織の正式名称と深い関わりが…と、インタビューでお答えになっていた…という情報を見たことがあり…　出典が定かではないですが（汗）<br>青山　なんだって？そんなの有ったっけ… 組織の名前？そんなこと言ったかな…
+
'''— Detective Conan is showing overseas now.'''
  
−
組織の名前って、決まってるんですか？<br>青山　うん（ピーピー）が（ピー）なんですよ。
+
We are extremely glad about that. It has been doing well, especially in Asia and South-East Asia where it’s nearing the No.1 place in anime genre. It used to be shown in the US under the title of Case Closed, but it struggled because we are not allowed to show someone getting shot in anime there. They are showing lots of violence in live-action drama, though. We have fans in some parts of Europe.
  
−
素敵な…<br>青山　うん、そう、でもボスの名前…？それはあまり関係ないかな。
+
I hope people abroad can directly know what Japanese anime want to deliver by watching anime. For that reason, I’m pleased anime can overcome boundaries and rules between countries. I’d love more people to watch this anime.
  
−
ちなみに、ネットでは、「やはり阿笠博士では」とか「FBIのジェイムズ・ブラックでは」といろいろな説が流れていましたが…<br>青山　めっちゃ違いますね（笑）
+
'''— Have you heard comments from fans abroad?'''
  
−
阿笠は青山さんが、以前に正式に否定されていて、それだと物語が美しくないと…<br>青山　美しくないというか、面白くないというか…それだといままでの博士のいい話が全部ダメになっちゃうじゃん。でもほら、ベルモットと対決するところで「いかん新一くん！」って言ってビートルで駆けつけたじゃん（笑）あれでボスじゃないってオレとしては描いたつもりだったんだけど…
+
I’ve found many comments in English and other languages on Twitter. I’m delighted to know there are people who are watching Detective Conan abroad. Recently, more voice actors have traveled overseas to attend anime events. When Rikiya Koyama, who plays Kogoro Mouri, went to Taiwan, many people gathered to meet him. I like that fans abroad have fun with the characters of the anime. I’m glad that they enjoy the stories of the Detective Boys, love stories in the police force, and the romantic comedy between Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama, despite the fact that they have different cultures. They’ll say things like “I like Heiji”, “I like Kid.” I’d like the fans abroad to enjoy what their favorite characters do, and hope to hear what they think of the anime more in future.
  
−
たしかに。<br>青山　なのにみんな、まだまだ「ボスじゃね」って言ってたからね（笑）
+
'''— It’s a pity that Conan can’t go abroad because he doesn’t have his passport.'''
  
−
あとは、＃＃は作中では死んだはず、となっていますが…<br>青山　あー、そうね、それは言えませんね（笑）それはのちのち…
+
He can’t use an antidote casually, can he? I’ll follow how Aoyama deals with it. [laugh]
  
−
ですよね、聞いた限りでは、この先も大変壮大なお話ですから…<br>青山　まぁ、ボスの名前があきらかになっても、まだまだ「コナン」は謎が多いってことですよ（笑）
+
'''— What is an interesting point about the anime adaptation of Detective Conan'''
  
−
「あの方」指摘直後
+
At the end of the 18th theatrical movie Detective Conan: Dimensional Sniper, Subaru Okiya reveals his true identity as Shuichi Akai. Anime can use voice to express identity, but manga can’t. Even Aoyama admitted the power of anime. Readers keep reading the original manga because it’s brilliant, however we create anime with images and sound. I’m proud of what we’ve done to bring 2-dimensional manga to 3-dimensional anime with movement and sound in an effective way. I think the original manga is a first-class sponge cake and what we do is to decorate it with cream and fruit. Just like decoration makes the sponge cake tastier, anime enhances the source material to make it more attractive to a wider audience. Obviously, the original manga has an astonishing amount of circulation, however anime has the power to attract even elderly people who happen to be in front of TV with its sound and visuals. For that sense, I feel the anime series appeals to a much wider audience.
  
−
青山さんは、毎回担当者に伏線を説明をするのが大変とおっしゃいます…<br>青山　うん（笑）何か思い出したけど、ハッキリ言ったのは、9代目担当の時かも知れないな（笑）黒幕までは、それまではうすらぼんやり担当に伝えて「とにかくオレに任せとけよ」って思ってたような。担当が聞いて感動してて、「凄い良く出来てますね！」って言ってたから（笑）それを覚えてる。
+
'''— You said that anime-original stories are like leaves floating on a river. What do you think about their own charms?'''
  
−
今回のお話では、ラムの正体や動きにも注目です。今回、安室さんに連絡してますし、それも大きな情報なので…<br>青山　ですね（笑）急展開だよね。
+
Creating anime-original stories (stories that are not based on chapters of the manga) means a declaration of war against Aoyama for me. My goal for creating original stories is to hear him say “I enjoyed watching it.” I begin making a story by imagining what will happen if Conan and Ran travel together, or get involved in an incident while walking around the town with the Detective Boys. Then, I consider how I use characters effectively and build a story.
  
−
ちなみに、青山さんの近況としましては…<br>青山　「艦これ」イベント「甲」でクリアしました（笑）今回はいままでで一番大変だった（笑）
+
I must say that we have partly contributed the 22-year history of the anime series, because, although between 60-75% of the anime series is based on the original manga, the rest is anime-original. I become ecstatic when Aoyama says he enjoyed the anime-original stories.
  
−
お気持ちとしては…<br>青山　そりゃ嬉しいよ（笑）「矢矧」も出たし！これでコンプリート！
+
'''— Now, could you answer some questions from overseas? I have 6 questions here selected from more than 100 questions we’ve received.
  
−
おめでとうございます！<br>青山　もうこのインタビュー早く終わらせて「矢矧」育てたい（笑）やっぱりセリフがいいんですよ、矢矧。大破したときにさ…「私を沈めたいなら、魚雷５，６本くらい撃ち込まないと、駄目よ」…って、みんな、持ってた人たちはこれ聞いてたんだなと、かっこいい！
+
Karylle Enchinares Famero asks: What are some of your favorite murder tricks that you’ve encountered while producing the series?'''
  
−
2年…3年ぐらい欲しがってらっしゃいましたよね。<br>青山　いやもっと長いだと思うけどな…ずーっと「矢矧」だけ出なかった。建造で出るんですけど、１００回以上チャンレンジしたけど出なかったからね。今回のイベント（2017年秋）で、ドロップしてビックリした。E-3…E-3の前半のボスかな…？
+
First of all, I like the trick from the episode The Sunfish Murder (File 56: Script by Kazunari Kouchi). It was an episode from one of the early seasons and I was thinking so hard with the director to come up with good tricks. Of course I still ponder over new tricks and sometimes they even see the light of day. The Man Who Was Killed Four Times (File 175: Script by Nobuo Ohgizawa) is another favorite of mine. It’s a story about a tough victim who is killed by multiple perpetrators, but each time he comes alive again. Therefore, it’s very difficult for Conan to get to the bottom of the case as the plot is quite complicated. Fortunately, we had a talented script writer who can wrap up the story within twenty-odd minutes. I really like The Entrance to the Maze: The Anger of Colossus (File 208: script by Chiaki Hashiba), especially the trick of the murder that happened during a ropeway ride through a tunnel.
  
−
で、「艦これ」やりながらいまは「ツムツム」もなさってますが…<br>青山　あーそう！「ツムツム」夢中です。オレのお気に入りのツムは「ピターパン」です（笑）強いから（笑い）
+
'''Ruffa Marielle Aquino asks; What are the most memorable things you did for the series and is there any advice you can give to students like me who want to pursue the same path of animation production?'''
  
−
ちなみにいま「ツムツム」では何万点くらい出されてますか。<br>青山　300万点いかなくらいだね、いまのところそれが限界です（笑）
+
During the opening song ‘Koi wa thrill, shock, suspense’ (File 205 – 230: sang by Rina Aiuchi), Conan performs a ‘Para Para Dance’ which was on-trend at the time. He wasn’t allowed to smile while dancing, as it was a rule of the dance. I was worried how an opening without smiling would be received by viewers, but decided to follow the rule and let him dance the proper way. Masahito Yoshioka , a program director from TMS Entertainment, was doubtful at the beginning, but eventually made up his mind to create a proper dance routine which everyone can enjoy dancing. We asked a choreographer to teach us the moves, and we created Conan’s take on ‘Para Para Dance’.
  
−
あと、映画のコンテを例年通りか、それ以上にしっかりとご覧になっていますが…<br>青山　あーそう！がっつりやった！ちなみに次回の映画は、クライマックスでコナンくんが安室に「え！？」っていうことを聞くので、お見逃しなく（笑）安室ファンはみんな気になってることだろうからねぇ…それね、インタビューに書いてくれていいけど、高山さんにはもう言っちゃいました（笑）コナンくんのこういうセリフがあるよって（笑）「わかった」って言ってた（笑）
+
The 20th anniversary special episode Conan and Ebizou’s Kabuki Juhachiban Mystery (File 804-805) is another memorable one. Famous Kabuki actor Ichikawa Ebizou actually provided the voice of Ebizou in the anime. The script was written after his appearance was confirmed. I was impressed by Kashiwabara’s skillful script centering on Ebizou.
  
−
（笑）わかりました、ではファンの方へのメッセジーとしてはこれからも、漫画も映画も続いてくと言うことですよろしいでしょうか。<br>青山　そうですね、いまちょっと休んでますけど、充電を兼ねてますんで…
+
If I may advise students who want to get into the anime industry, make sure that you keep your eyes open, find something that interests you, and learn deeply. I think communication skills are vital for our job, and in order to communicate better, you need knowledge. Read newspapers and magazines regularly to know current affairs. What is important is to make the person who you are talking to understand what you are interested in. You must know what you are talking about. In other words, you must speak with deep-rooted knowledge. It’s like anchoring a ship, so you don’t waver from your assertions.
  
−
体調も万全になってからと言うことで…<br>青山　そうだね、今後はちょっと作画中の3時間睡眠はやめるかも（笑）なんで、ペースは遅くなっちゃうかもだけど、これならいけるかもとういうのがつかめたらはじめますんで、それまで待って下さい（笑）
+
You must prepare to be able to explain clearly what sort of anime it is you want to make, what your favorite works in the past are, and why you like them. For me, they are Columbo, the late Osamu Tezuka (a creator known as the ‘God of Manga’ and was a pioneer of anime and manga as we know it), and Oretachi no Tabi (a Japanese coming-of-age drama aired in 1975). They made me what I am.
  
−
あと、今回、青山さんが「本当の原稿」を描いているところを動画で録らせて頂きましたが…ダミーではなく本物の原稿を描かれるのは珍しいと思いますが…<br>青山　あー！そうだね、NHKの番組で、カラーの原稿を描いたときは、本物だったけど漫画の原稿が初めてかもな。
+
I watched Columbo when I was a junior high school student. I remember I felt excited when I watched the episode ‘Any Old Port in a Storm’ which takes place in a winery, even though I had never drunk alcohol at the time. It was as if I were watching adult lives through a window. I want to provide such excitement to viewers. Although that doesn’t actually have anything related to the Conan episodes with tricks related to wine, though. [laugh] I just want to tell you that finding interest in small things in the area you love will lead you to being a mystery fan.
  
−
丸ペンを使われましたけど…<br>青山 あー！そう！タッチの部分は丸ペン。あれはピグマだと出ないから…オレは元々Gペンや丸ペンを使ってたから、ミリペンを使っても強弱のついた線が描けるけど、いきなり最初からミリペンだと強弱のない、つるんとした絵になっちゃうんで、これから漫画家を目指す新人さんはホンとはGペンや丸ペンで絵を描き慣れといた方がいいよと、書いといてね（笑い）
+
'''Sana Hayama asks: What made you want to produce the series? Maybe you loved reading books which involved criminal action and mystery and tried to solve them? I’m sure this could be a reason for such an amazing and lively series!'''
  
−
はい（笑い）というわけで…大変貴重なインタビューをありがとうございました。あとなんか、青山さん的に近況の言い残しはありますか？<br>青山　あ、「ドラクエ１１」で、ボスを倒して最初のエンデイングまで見た。（現在、裏ボスを倒すべくレベル上げ中）
+
When I watched the movie Murder on the Orient Express in 1974, I hadn’t actually read Agatha Christie’s novel at the time. However, I personally believe I was the one who solved the mystery first in the theater. A movie remake will be released soon, and I can’t wait watching it.
  
−
そういえば漫画では「3月のライオン」を再度読破されて、ドラマだと「刑事ゆがみ」にハマってらっしゃいますね。<br>青山　アニメだと「宝石の国」だな、あれいい！面白い！スタッフの中にオレと同じ大学のサークルでアニメ作ってたやつがいるし（笑）（泉津井陽一（センツイヨウイチ）さん）あのアニメ、声優さんもいい！主人公が「響け！ユーフォニアム」の黄前ちゃんなんだよね〜（黒沢ともよさん）
+
'''Mark Gabriel Acribal asks: What are some of the challenges or struggles you had to overcome before becoming a producer?'''
  
−
いまはそのへんにハマってらっしゃるととういうことで…ありがとうございました！<br>青山　はいはい（笑）
+
I was an assistant director for a midnight variety show called 11PM for two and a half years, and I struggled to death. It would have been almost classified as ‘power harassment’ (Japanese term describing psychological abuse and bullying at work) if it had happened today. [laugh] However, I learned what it takes during that time. The experience of confronting the difficulties, which was actually not as heroic as it sounds, made me what I am today. I always wanted to create something, but I didn’t know how difficult creating processes were.

Mr. Aoyama Direct Interview
+
Making a decision on everything about the footage is hard work but fun. The format of Detective Conan is made by the accumulations of my experiences. From the first episode, it has an epilogue, an ending, and a bit of a bonus scene. I’m confident in the format which director Kodama, producer Yoshioka and I devised together. We’ve been using this format for the TV series for all these years, and almost the same one for the movies.
  
−
November 30th, 2017, Mr. Aoyama Gosho House.
+
'''Ieng Wong asks: Were you a big fan of Conan before producing it?'''
  
−
In the [Shonen] Sunday Combined Issue #3-4, the identity of “That Person” has been finally established. I directly asked Mr. Aoyama Gosho about his mental state as he temporarily takes breaks from serializing the manga in the weekly magazine and he works on checking the storyboards from the 22nd movie.
+
As I said earlier, I knew about the manga before its serialization, and kept my eye on it. When I read the first chapter, I was so impressed by its tricks and depiction of situations. I was surprised how much it can do from the first episode.
  
−
Interviewer: Today “That person” was finally identified so I was thinking of asking you about things that everyone wants to know.<br>Aoyama: Yes, yes (laughs)
+
I also liked The Kindaichi Case Files which had started running in a different magazine before Detective Conan. Luckily, I got an offer to produce The Kindaichi Case Files after I started Detective Conan. I feel exceptionally fortunate to be in charge of the two great detective anime series.
  
−
Interviewer: If you could please blur the bad questions… By the way… On the same day, that video that I recorded will be made public (“Sunday Webry” App Limited Publishing).<br>Aoyama: Huh, is that so? (laughs) Yes, yes.
+
'''Ryan Kun asks: What are your favorite detective movies and who are your favorite male and female characters in Detective Conan?'''
  
−
Interviewer: First things first… We also asked in the video, but can we assume that is your mental state, Mr. Aoyama?<br>Aoyama: Oh, well… I did think that I’d have to say it at some point. I did think that I was rushing a bit too much but that it wasn’t a bad idea… A lot of fans said “It’s ##” since they the anagram hint (Volume 90, File 2) and others asked me “Is it ##?” in the New Year’s Postcards. I tried asking the editor in charge “Can I answer telling them they met the mark?” but they stopped me saying “No, that’s a bit [too revealing]…” (laughs) Ah, make sure to write this on the interview (laughs) There were also other persons who guessed the identity of the “sister outside the domain” at a very early stage in the New Year’s Postcards and I answered them “You’ve met the mark but keep it a secret (laughs)” but I ignore all questions about ##.  
+
I still watch many detective movies. Strictly speaking, it’s not a detective movie but I like Around the World in Eighty Days (premiered in 1957). It was based on the novel of the same name written by Jules Verne, and depicts a man who takes a bet to travel around the world in 80 days. He is disappointed in himself as he misses the deadline just one day. However, it turns out he actually won the bet, because he gained one day when he had crossed the International Date Line. I love such dramatic comeback wins. It’s a great bonus for viewers who are amazed by the trick at the last minute. I want to deliver such amazement to our viewers.
  
−
Interviewer: When did you decide that “####” was the Boss?<br>Aoyama: Oh, well… I properly decided that in Volume 30. Since it appears on Volume 30. They have to appear as the “Boss” (laughs) Or so I thought…
+
My favorite character is always Kogoro Mouri. When the anime started airing, I was 37, the same age as Kogoro. He had a lovely high schooler daughter at that time, but I didn’t, though. [laugh] Although he has become crazier recently, he’s always lovable and no one can dislike him. I simply admire his personality.
  
−
Interviewer: There’s a lot of conjectures on the net about “That Person”.<br>Aoyama: I see, I see

Among the female characters, I like Sonoko Suzuki. She was only meant to appear once according to the initial plan, but became a regular character because of the superb voice acting of Naoko Matsui who portrays her. She became a fixture of the anime, so much so that the character setting of Momiji Ohoka from the movie Crimson Love Letter was ‘Sonoko in the West’. Sonoko is incredible because she is such a down-to-earth person despite being a daughter of an extremely wealthy family.

Interview: “Is it Yuusaku?”, “Is it Mitsuhiko?”, amongst others. <br>Aoyama: Eehh!? Nooo (laughs) They’re totally wrong. Beep (laughs) But there’s more people who’ve met the mark: it’s to be expected
+
Thank you very much for sending me questions. It is much appreciated. I wish I could understand English more, so I could read all your questions and comments myself.
  
−
Interviewer: I thought that the editor in charge at the time of Volume 30 would’ve been specially told, though…<br>Aoyama: Eeh? Who was the editor in charge back then…?
+
'''— What’s your next goal?
 +
'''
 +
Detective Conan has become a household name in Japan, and I’m quite satisfied with that. I’d like to crack the world market with Detective Conan. I can’t understand why only anime can’t show murder scenes in English-speaking countries, whereas other forms of mystery can. However, I feel optimistic because there are not so many murder scenes in the anime.
  
−
Interviewer: It was the 4th one. By the way, the first time that the word “That Person” appeared was in the scene of Volume 24 when he says “It’s a direct order from That Person”. You’d already decided then that “The Organization has a Boss”?”<br>Aoyama: To be frank, I’d decided that ever since Volume 1 (laughs) But, actually the Boss being (beep) was from Volume 24, I think… But, in truth, it’s (beep) (laughs)
+
For successful international market penetration, I must find why Japanese anime has become so popular and acclaimed worldwide. I also have to find a way to make foreign viewers understand the dramaturgy of the anime, otherwise they can’t remember every character.
  
−
Interviewer: In the video you allowed me to record a while ago, you did say that ## has some secret to them, but…<br>Aoyama: They have tons of them (laughs) Because (beep) is the Boss’ (beep) so they were (beep beep) and they’re (beep). Put “beep” on all of this part (laughs)
+
My ambition is to sail through the world with Detective Conan and make it a flagship anime on the globe.
  
−
Interviewer: Obviously (laughs)<br>Aoyama: That’s pretty fun (laughs). Oh, he’s saying some spectacular! (laughs)
+
'''— Could you give a comment for the fans?'''
  
−
Interviewer: I do think that there’ll be a lot of those from now on, yes. By the way, ever since you decided it’d be ##, I think you’ve made some hints appear in the manga. Is “Seven Children” the first of them, like I thought?<br>Aoayama: True… Well, “Seven Children” is about crows, so…
+
It has been 24 years since the manga started, and 22 years since the anime’s first airing. One day, Detective Conan will reach its conclusion. We don’t know when and how it ends, however until that day I’ll create the anime with all my heart. I hope you enjoy the anime both based on the original manga and the anime originals, as well as the movies. We’ll keep working our hardest to meet your expectations. Please continue to watch and follow Detective Conan.
  
−
Interviewer: Also, that it’s deeply related to the Organization’s official name… Or so you answered in an interview… I’ve seen such information… But the source isn’t clear (sweats)<br>Aoyama: What did you say? Was there such a thing…? The Organizations’ name? Did I say that..?
+
— Thank you very much.
 +

−
Interviewer: Have you decided on the Organization’s name?<br>Aoyama: Yes (beep-beep) is (beep), see.

青山先生直撃インタビュー
  
−
Interviewer: Fantastic…<br>Aoyama: Yes, true, but the boss’ name…? I think it’s not too related…
+
2017年11月30日青山剛昌先生宅にて。
  
−
Interview: By the way, there’s several theories flowing in the net like “Maybe it’s indeed the Professor?” or “James Black from the FBI?”…<br>Aoyama: They’re totally wrong (laughs)
+
サンデー３・４合併号にて「あの方」の正体がついに判明。週刊誌での漫画連載は一旦お休みしつつ、映画第22弾のコンテ確認作業を進めている青山剛昌先生に現在の心境などを直撃した。
  
−
Interviewer: You officially denied Agasa before, but some say that then the story isn’t beautiful…<br>Aoyama: That’s it’s not beautiful, that it’s not interesting… Were it to be case, all the good episodes the Professor had would have been in vain. But, see… When [Conan] faced Vermouth, he said “No good, Shinichi-kun!” and rushed there with his Beetle (laughs). My intention when I drew that is that he wasn’t the Boss, but…
+
今日はですね、「あの方」がついに指摘されたと言うことで、みんなが知りたいことをズバリ伺いさせて頂こうかなと思います。<br>青山　はいはい（笑）
  
−
Interviewer: True.<br>Aoyama: But despite that they all kept saying “He’s the Boss”, so… (laughs)
+
ダメな質問は上手くボカして頂けてればと。ちなみに同日にこないだ撮影させて頂いた動画（「サンデーうえぶり」上にてアプリ限定公開）も解禁します。<br>青山　へー、そうなんだ（笑）はいはい。
  
−
Interviewer: Also, ## is supposed to be dead in the manga, but…<br>Aoayama: Ah, true… I can’t talk about that (laughs) In due time…
+
まずは、その動画でも伺ったのですが、青山さんの今の心境としてはいかがでしょうか。<br>青山　いやぁまぁ…いつか言わなきゃなぁと。ちょっと急ぎすぎるかなとは思ったけど、まぁいいかなぁと…結構ファンの間でも、アナグラムのヒント（90巻FILE 2）あたりから「＃＃じゃね」と言われていたし、これまでも年賀状で「＃＃ですか？」と聞いてくれる人がいてね。当たってるって返事書いちゃって良い？って、担当編集に聞いたんだけど「いや、それはちょっと…」と止められていてね（笑）あ、これインタビューにちゃんと書いといてね（笑）年賀状は他にも、早い段階で「領域外の妹」のこととか当ててる人がいて、その人たちには「当たってるよ、でも言わないでね（笑）」って書いたけど、＃＃に関しては全スルー。
  
−
Interviewer: Obviously. From what you’ve told me, from now it’ll be a very grand story, so…<br>Aoyama: Well, even if the Boss’ name has become clear, there’s still a lot of mysteries in “Conan” (laughs)
+
ボスが「＃＃＃＃」って、決められたのはいつ頃ですか？<br>青山　いやぁもう…ちゃんと決めたのは３０巻だね。出てくるの30巻だから。ボス出してとかなきゃ（笑）思いまして…
  
−
Page 2 header: After pointing “That Person”
+
ネットではまさに、「あの方」についていろんな予想が立てられましたが。<br>青山　ほうほう。
  
−
Interviewer: You say that it’s a lot of trouble to explain the foreshadowing to each editor in charge when they change…<br>Aoyama: Yes (laughs) I remember something, though… I clearly told one of them, I think the 9th one, for all I know (laughs) I dimly told him up to the mastermind and he seemingly thought “Just leave it up to me”. The editor in charge heard it, got emotional and said “it’s a wonderful work!” (laughs) That much I remember.
+
優作じゃないの、とか、光彦じゃないの、とか。<br>青山　えー、いやー（笑い）全然違いますよ、ぶぶぶって（笑）でもさすがに当ててくる人が増えてきたからね。
  
−
Interviewer: Rum’s identity and movements are also a point to focus upon in this episode. They’ve contacted Amuro-san and it’s very big info, so…<br>Aoyama: Indeed (laughs) It’s a sudden development
+
担当編集も、30巻頃では、別に聞かされていなかったと思うんですが。<br>青山　えー、その時、誰かな、担当。
  
−
Interviewer: By the way, what about your recent status…?<br>Aoyama: I cleared the “Kan Colle” even with “Kou (Shell)” (laughs) It was the hardest insofar (laughs)
+
4代目くらいですね。ちなみに、「あの方」という言葉が最初に出てきたのは24巻でジンが「あの方直々の命令だ…」というシーンです、その時から「組織にはボスがいる」と決められていたんですか？<br>青山　ぶっちゃけ1巻から決めてたよ（笑）でも実はボスが（ピー）は、この24巻からかなぁ…。でもホンとは（ピー）なんだけどね（笑）
  
−
Interviewer: What about your feelings…?<br>Aoyama: I’m glad, of course (laughs) “Yahagi” also appeared! Now I’ve completed it!
+
こないだ録らせて頂いた動画でも、＃＃にはまだ秘密があるとおっしゃってましたが。<br>青山　めっちゃありますね（笑）だって（ピー）はボスの（ピー）だから（ピーピー）されて（ピー）なわけじゃん。このへん全部、「ピー」だね（笑）
  
−
Interviewer: Congratulations!<br>Aoyama: I want to finish this interview already and raise “Yahagi” (laughs) Yahagi’s lines are very good, indeed. When she gets seriously damaged… “If you want to sink me you’ll need to shoot 5-6 torpedoes at me, else you won’t be able to”… To think that all people who had her could hear to these… Cool!
+
ですね（笑）<br>青山　それはそれで面白いかもね（笑）おお、すげーこと言ってるって（笑）
  
−
Interviewer: You said that you’d wished to get her since 2-3 years ago.<br>Aoyama: No, I think it’s been longer… “Yahagi” never popped out. She pops out by construction but even though I did over 100 challenges she didn’t pop out. I was surprised that she was a “drop” in this event (Autumn 2017). E-3… Was is it the Boss of the E-3 first half…?
+
これからもいろいろなるんだーって、思えますからね。ちなみに、＃＃と決められてからは、作中にヒントを出されたと思うんですが。やっぱり最初は「七つの子」ですか？<br>青山　そうですね、まぁ、「七つの子」はカラスだしね…
  
−
Interviewer: And you’re also playing “Tsum Tsum” alongside “Kan Colle”…<br>Aoyama: Ah, true! I’m crazy about “Tsum Tsum”. My favorite “Tsum” is “Peter Pan” (laughs) He’s strong (laughs)
+
あと、組織の正式名称と深い関わりが…と、インタビューでお答えになっていた…という情報を見たことがあり…　出典が定かではないですが（汗）<br>青山　なんだって？そんなの有ったっけ… 組織の名前？そんなこと言ったかな…
  
−
Interviewer: By the way, how many 10000s of points do you have in “Tsum Tsum”?<br>Aoyama: I think it’s below 3,000,000 points. That’s my current limit (laughs)
+
組織の名前って、決まってるんですか？<br>青山　うん（ピーピー）が（ピー）なんですよ。
  
−
Interviewer: Also, I can see that the movie storyboards look like the usual ones but greater, even…<br>Aoyama: Ah, yes! I did them with all my might! By the way, in the next movie’s climax… Conan-kun is told something by Amuro that makes him reply “Huh!?” so don’t miss it (laughs) Amuro fans must be curious about that… You can write that in the interview, but I already told Takayama-san about it (laughs) That’s there this line by Conan, that is (laughs) And she said “Gotcha” (laughs)
+
素敵な…<br>青山　うん、そう、でもボスの名前…？それはあまり関係ないかな。
  
−
Interviewer: (laughs) Understood. Then should I say that your message towards the fan is that the manga and movies will still go on?<br>Aoyama: Indeed, I’m resting a bit now but I’m also recharging energies so…
+
ちなみに、ネットでは、「やはり阿笠博士では」とか「FBIのジェイムズ・ブラックでは」といろいろな説が流れていましたが…<br>青山　めっちゃ違いますね（笑）
  
−
Interviewer: This should be better said when one’s at top condition…<br>Aoyama: True. I might stop having 3-hour sleep during work (laughs). So the pace might slow down but until I begin to get a grip of “this works”: please wait until then (laughs)
+
阿笠は青山さんが、以前に正式に否定されていて、それだと物語が美しくないと…<br>青山　美しくないというか、面白くないというか…それだといままでの博士のいい話が全部ダメになっちゃうじゃん。でもほら、ベルモットと対決するところで「いかん新一くん！」って言ってビートルで駆けつけたじゃん（笑）あれでボスじゃないってオレとしては描いたつもりだったんだけど…
  
−
Interviewer: Also, Mr. Aoyama, you allowed me to record you while drawing the “true manuscript” but… I think it’s unusual for you to draw a true manuscript and not a dummy…<br>Aoyama: Ah! True, when I drew a color manuscript for the NHK program it was a true manuscript but I guess it’s the first time I do that with a manga manuscript.
+
たしかに。<br>青山　なのにみんな、まだまだ「ボスじゃね」って言ってたからね（笑）
  
−
Interviewer: You used a mapping pen, though…<br>Aoyama: Ah! True! The touch section is a mapping pen. Pigmas don’t achieve that… I originally used G Pens and mapping pens, so even if I used a millipen I can draw lines with strength, yet… If I suddenly use a millipen from the start, it becomes smooth pictures without strength, so write that any newbies aiming to become mangaka should get used to drawing with G Pens or mapping pens (laughs)
+
あとは、＃＃は作中では死んだはず、となっていますが…<br>青山　あー、そうね、それは言えませんね（笑）それはのちのち…
  
−
Interviewer: Yes (laughs) And so… Thank you very much for this very important interview. Is there something else you want to say about your recent status, Mr. Aoyama?<br>Aoyama: Ah, I beat the boss in “Dragon Quest 11” and saw the first ending (now I’m leveling up to face the secret boss)
+
ですよね、聞いた限りでは、この先も大変壮大なお話ですから…<br>青山　まぁ、ボスの名前があきらかになっても、まだまだ「コナン」は謎が多いってことですよ（笑）
  
−
Interviewer: Speaking of which… You finished re-reading the manga “The March Lion” and you’re into the drama series “Policeman Yugami”, right?<br>Aoyama: As for anime, I like “Jewels Kingdom”, it’s good! It’s fun! Amongst the staff there’s a guy from the same college circle as me that made anime (laughs) (Mr. Sentsui Youichi) The anime and voice actors are good! The main protagonist is Oumae-chan from “Sound! Euphonium” (Ms. Kurosawa Tomoyo)
+
「あの方」指摘直後
  
−
Interviewer: So that’s what you’re into lately, then… Thank you very much!<br>Aoyama: Yes, yes (laughs)
+
青山さんは、毎回担当者に伏線を説明をするのが大変とおっしゃいます…<br>青山　うん（笑）何か思い出したけど、ハッキリ言ったのは、9代目担当の時かも知れないな（笑）黒幕までは、それまではうすらぼんやり担当に伝えて「とにかくオレに任せとけよ」って思ってたような。担当が聞いて感動してて、「凄い良く出来てますね！」って言ってたから（笑）それを覚えてる。

===Interview with Detective Conan Producer Michihiko Suwa===
+
今回のお話では、ラムの正体や動きにも注目です。今回、安室さんに連絡してますし、それも大きな情報なので…<br>青山　ですね（笑）急展開だよね。

'''Source:''' https://manga.tokyo/interview/interview-with-detective-conan-producer-michihiko-suwa-part-1/<br>
 
−
Michihiko Suwa is the producer of the TV anime and movie series Detective Conan (Meitantei Conan), also known as Case Closed based on the manga by Gosho Aoyama. In part one of MANGA.TOKYO’s interview with Suwa, we learn about the beginnings of the anime as well as how the anime staff are careful not to slip up when adapting Aoyama’s manga.
 
  
−
'''— Could you tell us how the plan for the anime adaptation of Detective Conan developed?'''
+
ちなみに、青山さんの近況としましては…<br>青山　「艦これ」イベント「甲」でクリアしました（笑）今回はいままでで一番大変だった（笑）
  
−
The first chapter of the original manga Detective Conan series, also known as Case Closed, was published in 1994 in Shonen Sunday. I guess it was a countermeasure against the rival manga magazine which had started a detective manga series The Kindaichi Case Files in 1992. I had a close connection with the editorial staff in Shonen Sunday, so I heard about a new detective manga before its publication. When I read the first chapter, I was instantly captured by its clever tricks. I kept reading it for 10 weeks and made up my mind to make an anime adaptation.
+
お気持ちとしては…<br>青山　そりゃ嬉しいよ（笑）「矢矧」も出たし！これでコンプリート！
  
−
Protagonist Shinichi Kudo was a 17-year-old detective but ends up having the body of a first-grade child because of a drug he was forced to swallow. I thought this setting was ‘a big lie’, and that was why it would nicely fit for anime. While discussing the anime adaptation plan, I convinced the editorial staff that I would respect the original which had an unrealistic setting, but otherwise was serious and a realistic mystery-solving story.
+
おめでとうございます！<br>青山　もうこのインタビュー早く終わらせて「矢矧」育てたい（笑）やっぱりセリフがいいんですよ、矢矧。大破したときにさ…「私を沈めたいなら、魚雷５，６本くらい撃ち込まないと、駄目よ」…って、みんな、持ってた人たちはこれ聞いてたんだなと、かっこいい！
  
−
At the time, Yomiuri Telecasting was airing the anime series Magic Knight Rayearth at 7:30 on Monday evening, but I wasn’t sure which TV block Detective Conan would be scheduled into. Although we didn’t know exactly when it would start airing, we began developing the plan aiming to air in January or February 1995.
+
2年…3年ぐらい欲しがってらっしゃいましたよね。<br>青山　いやもっと長いだと思うけどな…ずーっと「矢矧」だけ出なかった。建造で出るんですけど、１００回以上チャンレンジしたけど出なかったからね。今回のイベント（2017年秋）で、ドロップしてビックリした。E-3…E-3の前半のボスかな…？
  
−
We asked TMS Entertainment, then called Tokyo Movie Shinsha, to take care of the anime production, because they had brilliant staff members. They created Magic Knight Rayearth and I appreciated their effort to create such great visuals. We also made an offer to Kenji Kodama for the director’s role. We had worked together on City Hunter before, so I told him it wasn’t an action but a mystery anime. He replied that he actually preferred mystery to action, and rather enjoyed creating mystery episodes more than the action ones while directing the Lupin III series. For the script, we wanted someone who was specialized in live-action dramas, so we invited Kanji Kashiwabara, who had been working on scripts for many detective dramas. He pulled some strings and Kazunari Kouchi, Junichi Miyashita, and Yuichi Higurashi joined us. We also asked script writers for anime to join our production team. For music, we asked Katsuo Ono, who was responsible for the music in a popular detective drama series called Taiyo ni Hoero, because we wanted the music of the anime to be comparable to suspense dramas for adults. Our idea was to create new mystery anime which is different from the others, and could be enjoyed by both children and adults.
+
で、「艦これ」やりながらいまは「ツムツム」もなさってますが…<br>青山　あーそう！「ツムツム」夢中です。オレのお気に入りのツムは「ピターパン」です（笑）強いから（笑い）
  
−
'''— What do you pay attention to when creating the anime?'''
+
ちなみにいま「ツムツム」では何万点くらい出されてますか。<br>青山　300万点いかなくらいだね、いまのところそれが限界です（笑）
  
−
We have some rules, like using the word ‘body’ instead of ‘corpse’, and have blood look ‘black’ not ‘red’. That’s because we wanted the anime to be a mystery-solving story from the first place. We avoid showing scenes of a knife stabbing somebody or a bullet hitting victims, as long as they aren’t related to the tricks of a mystery. It airs in the evening in Japan, so there might be viewers who are in the middle of their dinner. We take extra care not to offend anyone, especially people who aren’t anime fans. We used to use ‘murder case’ in its titles quite a lot at the beginning, but stopped using it two or three years later, because we want to show not the crime itself, but how Conan solves a mystery after the crime happens. Our priority lies in showing the genius mystery-solving skills of Shinichi Kudo under the name of Conan Edogawa.
+
あと、映画のコンテを例年通りか、それ以上にしっかりとご覧になっていますが…<br>青山　あーそう！がっつりやった！ちなみに次回の映画は、クライマックスでコナンくんが安室に「え！？」っていうことを聞くので、お見逃しなく（笑）安室ファンはみんな気になってることだろうからねぇ…それね、インタビューに書いてくれていいけど、高山さんにはもう言っちゃいました（笑）コナンくんのこういうセリフがあるよって（笑）「わかった」って言ってた（笑）
  
−
While I believe Detective Conan is a superb mystery, the manga author Gosho Aoyama thinks of it as a comedy drama that focuses on its characters with an element of romantic comedy between Shinichi and Ran Mouri. I think that’s the strength of Detective Conan. It stands out from many other mystery stories. Furthermore, although we don’t know what type of characters will be popular, as everybody has their own tastes, our viewers can find their favorite among the varieties of characters in the anime. Aoyama creates many characters who have their individual charms, and we put them in the mystery solving stories. That’s why Detective Conan is different from any other mystery anime.
+
（笑）わかりました、ではファンの方へのメッセジーとしてはこれからも、漫画も映画も続いてくと言うことですよろしいでしょうか。<br>青山　そうですね、いまちょっと休んでますけど、充電を兼ねてますんで…
  
−
'''— Is there anything you didn’t expect because the series has become such a long-runner?'''
+
体調も万全になってからと言うことで…<br>青山　そうだね、今後はちょっと作画中の3時間睡眠はやめるかも（笑）なんで、ペースは遅くなっちゃうかもだけど、これならいけるかもとういうのがつかめたらはじめますんで、それまで待って下さい（笑）
  
−
In the anime’s timeline, it has been less than a year since the roller coaster murder case. Many incidents have happened in Beika Town during that time. Only about 250 days have passed in the anime world, but we’ve made about 880 episodes. The town must be in a mess, since, mathematically speaking, there are three to four incidents happening in a day. [laugh] We must welcome the situation because a long-running series means the anime has dedicated fans. Aoyama once said that there has been only one Christmas and one Valentine’s Day in the anime. That demonstrates things in the anime are in safe hands. We’ve seen Conan’s birthday, but not Ran’s yet. I presume he already has his plan for her birthday, so we won’t imply anything about hers in the anime. We don’t want to change anything about its setting.
+
あと、今回、青山さんが「本当の原稿」を描いているところを動画で録らせて頂きましたが…ダミーではなく本物の原稿を描かれるのは珍しいと思いますが…<br>青山　あー！そうだね、NHKの番組で、カラーの原稿を描いたときは、本物だったけど漫画の原稿が初めてかもな。
  
−
At the beginning of the series, we didn’t have smartphones therefore the characters were using flip phones. We didn’t expect such technological advancements at that time. Conan likes new things, so he tries them without hesitation. If he had been in possession of a smartphone 20 years ago, some mysteries might been solved easily with it. Perhaps we are living in a difficult time for mystery stories.
+
丸ペンを使われましたけど…<br>青山 あー！そう！タッチの部分は丸ペン。あれはピグマだと出ないから…オレは元々Gペンや丸ペンを使ってたから、ミリペンを使っても強弱のついた線が描けるけど、いきなり最初からミリペンだと強弱のない、つるんとした絵になっちゃうんで、これから漫画家を目指す新人さんはホンとはGペンや丸ペンで絵を描き慣れといた方がいいよと、書いといてね（笑い）
  
−
In the manga, Conan and Ai Haibara make a remark about something which is seemingly unrelated at the end of each case. Later, it turns out to be something really significant in another episode. Aoyama’s use of such foreshadowing is increasing recently, so the current director, Yashuichiro Yamamoto, is careful about not to miss any minor details in the manga.
+
はい（笑い）というわけで…大変貴重なインタビューをありがとうございました。あとなんか、青山さん的に近況の言い残しはありますか？<br>青山　あ、「ドラクエ１１」で、ボスを倒して最初のエンデイングまで見た。（現在、裏ボスを倒すべくレベル上げ中）

In short, there is a main storyline in the manga, which is like a big river flowing throughout the story, and the anime original parts we create are like floating leaves on the river. We know we shouldn’t obstruct the flow. Detective Conan has the major plot of Conan pursuing the Black Organization. Only Aoyama can deal with the plot, therefore we take extra care to include every single detail in the anime, as it might be related to the plot. I think we’ve done a good job in this regard so far.
+
そういえば漫画では「3月のライオン」を再度読破されて、ドラマだと「刑事ゆがみ」にハマってらっしゃいますね。<br>青山　アニメだと「宝石の国」だな、あれいい！面白い！スタッフの中にオレと同じ大学のサークルでアニメ作ってたやつがいるし（笑）（泉津井陽一（センツイヨウイチ）さん）あのアニメ、声優さんもいい！主人公が「響け！ユーフォニアム」の黄前ちゃんなんだよね〜（黒沢ともよさん）

We are extremely glad about that. It has been doing well, especially in Asia and South-East Asia where it’s nearing the No.1 place in anime genre. It used to be shown in the US under the title of Case Closed, but it struggled because we are not allowed to show someone getting shot in anime there. They are showing lots of violence in live-action drama, though. We have fans in some parts of Europe.

Mr. Aoyama Direct Interview
  
−
I hope people abroad can directly know what Japanese anime want to deliver by watching anime. For that reason, I’m pleased anime can overcome boundaries and rules between countries. I’d love more people to watch this anime.
+
November 30th, 2017, Mr. Aoyama Gosho House.
  
−
'''— Have you heard comments from fans abroad?'''
+
In the [Shonen] Sunday Combined Issue #3-4, the identity of “That Person” has been finally established. I directly asked Mr. Aoyama Gosho about his mental state as he temporarily takes breaks from serializing the manga in the weekly magazine and he works on checking the storyboards from the 22nd movie.
  
−
I’ve found many comments in English and other languages on Twitter. I’m delighted to know there are people who are watching Detective Conan abroad. Recently, more voice actors have traveled overseas to attend anime events. When Rikiya Koyama, who plays Kogoro Mouri, went to Taiwan, many people gathered to meet him. I like that fans abroad have fun with the characters of the anime. I’m glad that they enjoy the stories of the Detective Boys, love stories in the police force, and the romantic comedy between Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama, despite the fact that they have different cultures. They’ll say things like “I like Heiji”, “I like Kid.” I’d like the fans abroad to enjoy what their favorite characters do, and hope to hear what they think of the anime more in future.
+
Interviewer: Today “That person” was finally identified so I was thinking of asking you about things that everyone wants to know.<br>Aoyama: Yes, yes (laughs)
  
−
'''— It’s a pity that Conan can’t go abroad because he doesn’t have his passport.'''
+
Interviewer: If you could please blur the bad questions… By the way… On the same day, that video that I recorded will be made public (“Sunday Webry” App Limited Publishing).<br>Aoyama: Huh, is that so? (laughs) Yes, yes.
  
−
He can’t use an antidote casually, can he? I’ll follow how Aoyama deals with it. [laugh]
+
Interviewer: First things first… We also asked in the video, but can we assume that is your mental state, Mr. Aoyama?<br>Aoyama: Oh, well… I did think that I’d have to say it at some point. I did think that I was rushing a bit too much but that it wasn’t a bad idea… A lot of fans said “It’s ##” since they the anagram hint (Volume 90, File 2) and others asked me “Is it ##?” in the New Year’s Postcards. I tried asking the editor in charge “Can I answer telling them they met the mark?” but they stopped me saying “No, that’s a bit [too revealing]…” (laughs) Ah, make sure to write this on the interview (laughs) There were also other persons who guessed the identity of the “sister outside the domain” at a very early stage in the New Year’s Postcards and I answered them “You’ve met the mark but keep it a secret (laughs)” but I ignore all questions about ##.

'''— What is an interesting point about the anime adaptation of Detective Conan'''
+
Interviewer: When did you decide that “####” was the Boss?<br>Aoyama: Oh, well… I properly decided that in Volume 30. Since it appears on Volume 30. They have to appear as the “Boss” (laughs) Or so I thought…
  
−
At the end of the 18th theatrical movie Detective Conan: Dimensional Sniper, Subaru Okiya reveals his true identity as Shuichi Akai. Anime can use voice to express identity, but manga can’t. Even Aoyama admitted the power of anime. Readers keep reading the original manga because it’s brilliant, however we create anime with images and sound. I’m proud of what we’ve done to bring 2-dimensional manga to 3-dimensional anime with movement and sound in an effective way. I think the original manga is a first-class sponge cake and what we do is to decorate it with cream and fruit. Just like decoration makes the sponge cake tastier, anime enhances the source material to make it more attractive to a wider audience. Obviously, the original manga has an astonishing amount of circulation, however anime has the power to attract even elderly people who happen to be in front of TV with its sound and visuals. For that sense, I feel the anime series appeals to a much wider audience.
+
Interviewer: There’s a lot of conjectures on the net about “That Person”.<br>Aoyama: I see, I see
  
−
'''— You said that anime-original stories are like leaves floating on a river. What do you think about their own charms?'''
+
Interview: “Is it Yuusaku?”, “Is it Mitsuhiko?”, amongst others. <br>Aoyama: Eehh!? Nooo (laughs) They’re totally wrong. Beep (laughs) But there’s more people who’ve met the mark: it’s to be expected
  
−
Creating anime-original stories (stories that are not based on chapters of the manga) means a declaration of war against Aoyama for me. My goal for creating original stories is to hear him say “I enjoyed watching it.” I begin making a story by imagining what will happen if Conan and Ran travel together, or get involved in an incident while walking around the town with the Detective Boys. Then, I consider how I use characters effectively and build a story.
+
Interviewer: I thought that the editor in charge at the time of Volume 30 would’ve been specially told, though…<br>Aoyama: Eeh? Who was the editor in charge back then…?
  
−
I must say that we have partly contributed the 22-year history of the anime series, because, although between 60-75% of the anime series is based on the original manga, the rest is anime-original. I become ecstatic when Aoyama says he enjoyed the anime-original stories.
+
Interviewer: It was the 4th one. By the way, the first time that the word “That Person” appeared was in the scene of Volume 24 when he says “It’s a direct order from That Person”. You’d already decided then that “The Organization has a Boss”?”<br>Aoyama: To be frank, I’d decided that ever since Volume 1 (laughs) But, actually the Boss being (beep) was from Volume 24, I think… But, in truth, it’s (beep) (laughs)
  
−
'''— Now, could you answer some questions from overseas? I have 6 questions here selected from more than 100 questions we’ve received.
+
Interviewer: In the video you allowed me to record a while ago, you did say that ## has some secret to them, but…<br>Aoyama: They have tons of them (laughs) Because (beep) is the Boss’ (beep) so they were (beep beep) and they’re (beep). Put “beep” on all of this part (laughs)
  
−
Karylle Enchinares Famero asks: What are some of your favorite murder tricks that you’ve encountered while producing the series?'''
+
Interviewer: Obviously (laughs)<br>Aoyama: That’s pretty fun (laughs). Oh, he’s saying some spectacular! (laughs)
  
−
First of all, I like the trick from the episode The Sunfish Murder (File 56: Script by Kazunari Kouchi). It was an episode from one of the early seasons and I was thinking so hard with the director to come up with good tricks. Of course I still ponder over new tricks and sometimes they even see the light of day. The Man Who Was Killed Four Times (File 175: Script by Nobuo Ohgizawa) is another favorite of mine. It’s a story about a tough victim who is killed by multiple perpetrators, but each time he comes alive again. Therefore, it’s very difficult for Conan to get to the bottom of the case as the plot is quite complicated. Fortunately, we had a talented script writer who can wrap up the story within twenty-odd minutes. I really like The Entrance to the Maze: The Anger of Colossus (File 208: script by Chiaki Hashiba), especially the trick of the murder that happened during a ropeway ride through a tunnel.
+
Interviewer: I do think that there’ll be a lot of those from now on, yes. By the way, ever since you decided it’d be ##, I think you’ve made some hints appear in the manga. Is “Seven Children” the first of them, like I thought?<br>Aoayama: True… Well, “Seven Children” is about crows, so…
  
−
'''Ruffa Marielle Aquino asks; What are the most memorable things you did for the series and is there any advice you can give to students like me who want to pursue the same path of animation production?'''
+
Interviewer: Also, that it’s deeply related to the Organization’s official name… Or so you answered in an interview… I’ve seen such information… But the source isn’t clear (sweats)<br>Aoyama: What did you say? Was there such a thing…? The Organizations’ name? Did I say that..?
  
−
During the opening song ‘Koi wa thrill, shock, suspense’ (File 205 – 230: sang by Rina Aiuchi), Conan performs a ‘Para Para Dance’ which was on-trend at the time. He wasn’t allowed to smile while dancing, as it was a rule of the dance. I was worried how an opening without smiling would be received by viewers, but decided to follow the rule and let him dance the proper way. Masahito Yoshioka , a program director from TMS Entertainment, was doubtful at the beginning, but eventually made up his mind to create a proper dance routine which everyone can enjoy dancing. We asked a choreographer to teach us the moves, and we created Conan’s take on ‘Para Para Dance’.
+
Interviewer: Have you decided on the Organization’s name?<br>Aoyama: Yes (beep-beep) is (beep), see.  
  
−
The 20th anniversary special episode Conan and Ebizou’s Kabuki Juhachiban Mystery (File 804-805) is another memorable one. Famous Kabuki actor Ichikawa Ebizou actually provided the voice of Ebizou in the anime. The script was written after his appearance was confirmed. I was impressed by Kashiwabara’s skillful script centering on Ebizou.
+
Interviewer: Fantastic…<br>Aoyama: Yes, true, but the boss’ name…? I think it’s not too related…
  
−
If I may advise students who want to get into the anime industry, make sure that you keep your eyes open, find something that interests you, and learn deeply. I think communication skills are vital for our job, and in order to communicate better, you need knowledge. Read newspapers and magazines regularly to know current affairs. What is important is to make the person who you are talking to understand what you are interested in. You must know what you are talking about. In other words, you must speak with deep-rooted knowledge. It’s like anchoring a ship, so you don’t waver from your assertions.
+
Interview: By the way, there’s several theories flowing in the net like “Maybe it’s indeed the Professor?” or “James Black from the FBI?”…<br>Aoyama: They’re totally wrong (laughs)
  
−
You must prepare to be able to explain clearly what sort of anime it is you want to make, what your favorite works in the past are, and why you like them. For me, they are Columbo, the late Osamu Tezuka (a creator known as the ‘God of Manga’ and was a pioneer of anime and manga as we know it), and Oretachi no Tabi (a Japanese coming-of-age drama aired in 1975). They made me what I am.
+
Interviewer: You officially denied Agasa before, but some say that then the story isn’t beautiful…<br>Aoyama: That’s it’s not beautiful, that it’s not interesting… Were it to be case, all the good episodes the Professor had would have been in vain. But, see… When [Conan] faced Vermouth, he said “No good, Shinichi-kun!” and rushed there with his Beetle (laughs). My intention when I drew that is that he wasn’t the Boss, but…
  
−
I watched Columbo when I was a junior high school student. I remember I felt excited when I watched the episode ‘Any Old Port in a Storm’ which takes place in a winery, even though I had never drunk alcohol at the time. It was as if I were watching adult lives through a window. I want to provide such excitement to viewers. Although that doesn’t actually have anything related to the Conan episodes with tricks related to wine, though. [laugh] I just want to tell you that finding interest in small things in the area you love will lead you to being a mystery fan.
+
Interviewer: True.<br>Aoyama: But despite that they all kept saying “He’s the Boss”, so… (laughs)
  
−
'''Sana Hayama asks: What made you want to produce the series? Maybe you loved reading books which involved criminal action and mystery and tried to solve them? I’m sure this could be a reason for such an amazing and lively series!'''
+
Interviewer: Also, ## is supposed to be dead in the manga, but…<br>Aoayama: Ah, true… I can’t talk about that (laughs) In due time…
  
−
When I watched the movie Murder on the Orient Express in 1974, I hadn’t actually read Agatha Christie’s novel at the time. However, I personally believe I was the one who solved the mystery first in the theater. A movie remake will be released soon, and I can’t wait watching it.
+
Interviewer: Obviously. From what you’ve told me, from now it’ll be a very grand story, so…<br>Aoyama: Well, even if the Boss’ name has become clear, there’s still a lot of mysteries in “Conan” (laughs)
  
−
'''Mark Gabriel Acribal asks: What are some of the challenges or struggles you had to overcome before becoming a producer?'''
+
Page 2 header: After pointing “That Person”
  
−
I was an assistant director for a midnight variety show called 11PM for two and a half years, and I struggled to death. It would have been almost classified as ‘power harassment’ (Japanese term describing psychological abuse and bullying at work) if it had happened today. [laugh] However, I learned what it takes during that time. The experience of confronting the difficulties, which was actually not as heroic as it sounds, made me what I am today. I always wanted to create something, but I didn’t know how difficult creating processes were.
+
Interviewer: You say that it’s a lot of trouble to explain the foreshadowing to each editor in charge when they change…<br>Aoyama: Yes (laughs) I remember something, though… I clearly told one of them, I think the 9th one, for all I know (laughs) I dimly told him up to the mastermind and he seemingly thought “Just leave it up to me”. The editor in charge heard it, got emotional and said “it’s a wonderful work!” (laughs) That much I remember.
  
−
Making a decision on everything about the footage is hard work but fun. The format of Detective Conan is made by the accumulations of my experiences. From the first episode, it has an epilogue, an ending, and a bit of a bonus scene. I’m confident in the format which director Kodama, producer Yoshioka and I devised together. We’ve been using this format for the TV series for all these years, and almost the same one for the movies.
+
Interviewer: Rum’s identity and movements are also a point to focus upon in this episode. They’ve contacted Amuro-san and it’s very big info, so…<br>Aoyama: Indeed (laughs) It’s a sudden development
  
−
'''Ieng Wong asks: Were you a big fan of Conan before producing it?'''
+
Interviewer: By the way, what about your recent status…?<br>Aoyama: I cleared the “Kan Colle” even with “Kou (Shell)” (laughs) It was the hardest insofar (laughs)
  
−
As I said earlier, I knew about the manga before its serialization, and kept my eye on it. When I read the first chapter, I was so impressed by its tricks and depiction of situations. I was surprised how much it can do from the first episode.
+
Interviewer: What about your feelings…?<br>Aoyama: I’m glad, of course (laughs) “Yahagi” also appeared! Now I’ve completed it!
  
−
I also liked The Kindaichi Case Files which had started running in a different magazine before Detective Conan. Luckily, I got an offer to produce The Kindaichi Case Files after I started Detective Conan. I feel exceptionally fortunate to be in charge of the two great detective anime series.
+
Interviewer: Congratulations!<br>Aoyama: I want to finish this interview already and raise “Yahagi” (laughs) Yahagi’s lines are very good, indeed. When she gets seriously damaged… “If you want to sink me you’ll need to shoot 5-6 torpedoes at me, else you won’t be able to”… To think that all people who had her could hear to these… Cool!
  
−
'''Ryan Kun asks: What are your favorite detective movies and who are your favorite male and female characters in Detective Conan?'''
+
Interviewer: You said that you’d wished to get her since 2-3 years ago.<br>Aoyama: No, I think it’s been longer… “Yahagi” never popped out. She pops out by construction but even though I did over 100 challenges she didn’t pop out. I was surprised that she was a “drop” in this event (Autumn 2017). E-3… Was is it the Boss of the E-3 first half…?
  
−
I still watch many detective movies. Strictly speaking, it’s not a detective movie but I like Around the World in Eighty Days (premiered in 1957). It was based on the novel of the same name written by Jules Verne, and depicts a man who takes a bet to travel around the world in 80 days. He is disappointed in himself as he misses the deadline just one day. However, it turns out he actually won the bet, because he gained one day when he had crossed the International Date Line. I love such dramatic comeback wins. It’s a great bonus for viewers who are amazed by the trick at the last minute. I want to deliver such amazement to our viewers.
+
Interviewer: And you’re also playing “Tsum Tsum” alongside “Kan Colle”…<br>Aoyama: Ah, true! I’m crazy about “Tsum Tsum”. My favorite “Tsum” is “Peter Pan” (laughs) He’s strong (laughs)
  
−
My favorite character is always Kogoro Mouri. When the anime started airing, I was 37, the same age as Kogoro. He had a lovely high schooler daughter at that time, but I didn’t, though. [laugh] Although he has become crazier recently, he’s always lovable and no one can dislike him. I simply admire his personality.
+
Interviewer: By the way, how many 10000s of points do you have in “Tsum Tsum”?<br>Aoyama: I think it’s below 3,000,000 points. That’s my current limit (laughs)
  
−
Among the female characters, I like Sonoko Suzuki. She was only meant to appear once according to the initial plan, but became a regular character because of the superb voice acting of Naoko Matsui who portrays her. She became a fixture of the anime, so much so that the character setting of Momiji Ohoka from the movie Crimson Love Letter was ‘Sonoko in the West’. Sonoko is incredible because she is such a down-to-earth person despite being a daughter of an extremely wealthy family.
+
Interviewer: Also, I can see that the movie storyboards look like the usual ones but greater, even…<br>Aoyama: Ah, yes! I did them with all my might! By the way, in the next movie’s climax… Conan-kun is told something by Amuro that makes him reply “Huh!?” so don’t miss it (laughs) Amuro fans must be curious about that… You can write that in the interview, but I already told Takayama-san about it (laughs) That’s there this line by Conan, that is (laughs) And she said “Gotcha” (laughs)
  
−
Thank you very much for sending me questions. It is much appreciated. I wish I could understand English more, so I could read all your questions and comments myself.
+
Interviewer: (laughs) Understood. Then should I say that your message towards the fan is that the manga and movies will still go on?<br>Aoyama: Indeed, I’m resting a bit now but I’m also recharging energies so…
  
−
'''— What’s your next goal?
+
Interviewer: This should be better said when one’s at top condition…<br>Aoyama: True. I might stop having 3-hour sleep during work (laughs). So the pace might slow down but until I begin to get a grip of “this works”: please wait until then (laughs)
−
'''
 
−
Detective Conan has become a household name in Japan, and I’m quite satisfied with that. I’d like to crack the world market with Detective Conan. I can’t understand why only anime can’t show murder scenes in English-speaking countries, whereas other forms of mystery can. However, I feel optimistic because there are not so many murder scenes in the anime.
 
  
−
For successful international market penetration, I must find why Japanese anime has become so popular and acclaimed worldwide. I also have to find a way to make foreign viewers understand the dramaturgy of the anime, otherwise they can’t remember every character.
+
Interviewer: Also, Mr. Aoyama, you allowed me to record you while drawing the “true manuscript” but… I think it’s unusual for you to draw a true manuscript and not a dummy…<br>Aoyama: Ah! True, when I drew a color manuscript for the NHK program it was a true manuscript but I guess it’s the first time I do that with a manga manuscript.  
  
−
My ambition is to sail through the world with Detective Conan and make it a flagship anime on the globe.
+
Interviewer: You used a mapping pen, though…<br>Aoyama: Ah! True! The touch section is a mapping pen. Pigmas don’t achieve that… I originally used G Pens and mapping pens, so even if I used a millipen I can draw lines with strength, yet… If I suddenly use a millipen from the start, it becomes smooth pictures without strength, so write that any newbies aiming to become mangaka should get used to drawing with G Pens or mapping pens (laughs)
  
−
'''— Could you give a comment for the fans?'''
+
Interviewer: Yes (laughs) And so… Thank you very much for this very important interview. Is there something else you want to say about your recent status, Mr. Aoyama?<br>Aoyama: Ah, I beat the boss in “Dragon Quest 11” and saw the first ending (now I’m leveling up to face the secret boss)
  
−
It has been 24 years since the manga started, and 22 years since the anime’s first airing. One day, Detective Conan will reach its conclusion. We don’t know when and how it ends, however until that day I’ll create the anime with all my heart. I hope you enjoy the anime both based on the original manga and the anime originals, as well as the movies. We’ll keep working our hardest to meet your expectations. Please continue to watch and follow Detective Conan.
+
Interviewer: Speaking of which… You finished re-reading the manga “The March Lion” and you’re into the drama series “Policeman Yugami”, right?<br>Aoyama: As for anime, I like “Jewels Kingdom”, it’s good! It’s fun! Amongst the staff there’s a guy from the same college circle as me that made anime (laughs) (Mr. Sentsui Youichi) The anime and voice actors are good! The main protagonist is Oumae-chan from “Sound! Euphonium” (Ms. Kurosawa Tomoyo)
  
−
— Thank you very much.
+
Interviewer: So that’s what you’re into lately, then… Thank you very much!<br>Aoyama: Yes, yes (laughs)

First, the symbols of Nagoya City, Nagoya TV Tower, and Oasis 21 which also appeared in the end of the previous work [The Fist of Blue Sapphire]. The night view here is very beautiful, but I couldn't go up on that day, so I only watched the lights from below. Be careful as it's very slippery on rainy days!

Next, an Instagrammable monument near Nagoya Castle. Everyone was drawn to the reds in it so I took a commemorative photo here. And Nagoya Port, one of the largest trading ports in Japan. It's a port that spans across five municipalities and has many leisure facilities.
 +
 +
We, the location team, also boarded a yacht and traveled around the port. I think people already know that Shukichi Haneda who appears this time is based on Hideyoshi Toyotomi. Nagoya is very closely linked to Hideyoshi Toyotomi and at the annual Nagoya Festival, a parade is held to honor the three heroes, Nobunaga Oda, Hideyoshi Toyotomi and Ieyasu Tokugawa.
 +
 +
In Nakamura Ward, Nagoya City, the birthplace of Hideyoshi Toyotomi, there is a street named Taiko-dori. There is also an exit named Taiko-dori  Exit at Nagoya Station. Hideyoshi Toyotomi's name is closely linked here.
 +
 +
While feeling this connection, I continued with my location hunting and tasted some delicious Nagoya foods. This place is amazing, so I would be happy if fans will make a trip to Nagoya after the movie release! I hope you can look forward to how Nagoya will appear in this work."

'''Question 1: This is your 2nd time in charge of directing a Detective Conan movie, after the "The Fist of Blue Sapphire" in 2019, is there any changes in your environment and feelings? And, how did you approach with this movies?'''  
 +
 +
"There is no particular change in the environment. In production, I have seniors who have been working with me for many years who I respect, and many friends, who know my good and bad points, so it's a very reassuring environment for me. And, because of the trust I have for them, I depend on them in various areas.
 +
 +
As for my feelings, when I started the actual production, I face various obstacles and there are times when I feel troubled. When that happens, instead of worrying alone, I tried to consult others and get advice. Surprisingly, many ideas leading to breakthrough surfaced during those conversations. Well, it was probably worst for those who have been dealing with me though. (laughs).
 +
 +
As for my approach, there are characters who are introduced for the first time in the movie. So, I tried to figure out their relationship with Conan's main characters in the original before starting on the production.
 +
 +
The Akai family has many mysterious parts not mentioned even in the original, so I had the production team organize and made a character relationship chart for me."
 +
 +
'''Question 2: Can you tell us what do you think after reading the script?'''
 +
 
 +
"Ever since my scenario meeting with Mr. Sakurai, the Script Writer, I was impressed with his wide knowledge in various fields, regardless of genre like chemistry, bullet trains, shogi. I feel I must be more aware of more information in various areas from now on.
 +
 +
The content of the script drives home the theme very clearly. I tried to translate Mr. Sakurai's thoughts into the movie and I hope we are able to communicate that to our audience who watch the movie.  
 +
 +
'''Question 3: This work focuses on Akai Family, and there are many original movie characters, is there any particular character you want us to take note of? And, what is the reasons?'''
 +
 
 +
"It would be Mary. I think the mother has a strong character. Shuichi Akai, Shukichi Haneda, Masumi Sera...everyone has different personalities and strong characters. However, each of them has a strong core that I feel is the gift inherited from Mary's teachings.

"What I found the most interesting was the difference between Conan's and the FBI's sense of justice. I wanted to express this different in thinking properly.

=== Interview of Screenplay, Takeharu Sakurai ===
 +
 
 +
'''Question 1: Mr. Sakurai, this will be your 5th time in charge of the script for a Detective Conan movie. When writing for the first Detective Conan's Private Eyes' Requiem (2013) and this movie, has there been any change in your feeling or approach to Conan?'''
 +
 +
"Whenever I write a script for Detective Conan movies, I would decide the Regular character who would be guest characters and the theme with the producer. Then I would write the story while getting Aoyoma-sensei and the Director to fix it. I would also add the parts desired by Aoyama-sensei. There is no change in this flow, but on Private Eyes' Requiem, I recklessly took on the challenge without knowing the difficulties. Now, with my knowledge of the difficulties, it feels more like a test of my abilities. In other words, it changed from "Challenge" to "Trial". I think this is a change that will jappen if you continue with any work."
 +
 +
'''Question 2:  You wrote both popular characters, Toru Amuro into the previous movie and Suichi Akai in this one. Do you have any particular feelings when comparing these two characters? Also, was there anything you put extra care of when writing Shuichi Akai in this work? Or anything you enjoyed?'''
 +
 +
"I think the similarity between Amuro and Akai is there "Loneliness". Amuro has a loneliness that stems from having no home to return to and Akai has a loneliness that stems from not being able to retun home.
 +
 +
Amuro's loneliness with something to depend on as opposed to Akai's loneliness that rejects dependency. Amuora has the strength to embrace the loneliness alone and Akai has the strength to accompany a lonely person.
 +
 +
I feel that when I write these two characters.
 +
 +
When I write Shuichi Akai, I take note of Subaru Okiya. Although those two are basically the same person, they have different personalities. However, there are times when despite being Okiya, his personality is almost all Akai.
 +
 +
It was difficult to adjust that what percentage of Akai is Okiya in each scene with Aoyama-sensei and the production team. However, Akai is much more difficult.
 +
 +
Conan, Haibara, Sera, Mary, Shukichi, James, Jody, and Camel, everyone has different perception about Akai. The information that Akai gave or hid from each of them are all different.
 +
 +
I had to check with Aoyama-sensia and the production team to find out what is allowed in which scene. We have to proceed like a puzzle. There are some things the characters already know about, but the readers do not yet.
 +
 +
And things that will be revealed by the time the movie is released. It is as if you are playing with a puzzle with astronomical number of pieces. It was both painful and fun at the same time.
 +
 +
'''Question 3: This movie focuses on Akai Family, and there are many original movie characters, is there any particular character to take note of? And, what is the reason?'''
 +
 +
"The whole Akai Family are important characters here. If I have to mention one, then it is Mary. The more I hear from Aoyama-sensei about her, the burden she bears is out of this world. If you take a closer look at the movie, you will find new information about her."
 +
 +
'''Question 4: What do you look forward to when your script is visualized?'''
 +
 +
"It's fun and scary to read the dubbing script. The dubbing script is a script written by someone based on my screenplay. Thus, in this media, things like "Did the lines I wrote become such as line?" "Did the scene that I wrote become like this?", will impact me the first.
 +
 +
My second impact will come at the preview. Dubbing script is a process that won't be found in live-action dramas and movies, I was surprised when though I wrote this script with almost the same number of pages as last time, but this dubbing script has almost double the number of pages than the last!"
 +
 +
'''Question 5: Please tell us the highlights of this movie for you. Finally, do you have any message to the audience?'''
 +
 +
"I think there are many highlights in the events, characters and action scenes in the movie. As a screenwriter, I would be happy if you could understand the theme a little more. I think there have been many dramas with "past sins" creating "present sins".
 +
 +
However, there is also "past justice" that can create "present sins" as well. What will people do in that situation? It would be good to show Conan's and Akai's "harmony" and "difference". I wrote with this in mind.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
=== Interview of Image Board, Ioundraw ===
 +
 
 +
'''Question 1: It will be the third time to be in charge of image boards for Detective Conan Movies, so they are pretty much defined. What do you think is your position this time?'''
 +
 +
"It's strange, there are moments when I still don't believe that I'm involved in Conan. It's a well-known manga that I've been reading since I was a child. The fact that I'm in charge of creating images for this on the big screen is so overwhelming that I feel that it's not even real.
 +
 +
However, I feel that the response to the role given to me steadily increases as I work more on it. I love the characters, but I pack my own ideas without breaking the world's view of this work.
 +
 +
If my images are useful to the staff, then there is nothing more fulfilling to me. Drawing image boards for Detective Conan Movies is like the facing my childhood. I try to draw with fresh eyes with a feeling of nostalgia while making sure to do work I can be proud of."
 +
 +
'''Question 2: What kind of image you envisioned from the screenplay for the image boards?''' 
 +
 +
"I was reading the screenplay while talking with Director Nagaoka and the production team, and I decided to have stylish look this time. Looking at previous movie series as a whole, the scale of the event in this movie is one of the largest and the suspense and action that comes with it are also very thrilling.
 +
 +
I consciously added a strong contrast in the light and scene construction in order to bring out the roller-coaster-like dramatic twists and turns.
 +
 +
It will also link nicely to the Akai Family that appears in this work. Akai Family is shrouded in mystery and shadows. It is the shadows that bring out their appeal. Light and shadow, justice and evil, I painstakingly tried to convey the tension between both sides through my images.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
=== Interview of Production Team, Full of Highlights From Each Section As Well ===
 +
 
 +
'''Question 1: In the production of this work, The Scarlet Bullet, can you tell us what did you struggle with, what you were particular about, and what was rewarding for you?'''
 +
 
 +
"This time, the stage is set between Tokyo and Nagoya. As a result, there are many buildings again just like the previous work. So, I was worried even before it started. It is always difficult with many buildings (laugh). Moreover, unlike Singapore, this time there are fictional places like linear train stations of Shibahama Station and Shin-Nagoya Station. It is very difficult yet interesting to make these fictional places seem real to blend in with real locations. The diector told me that Akai does not match a bright blue sky so I deliberately toned down the day-time sky for this work." ''said Kouki Fukushima, Art Director.''
 +
 +
"Connecting with the title of "scarlet", there is always red color on someone in those four days. If I only stick to the character's image color, it will be too one-sided. So, I decided on this by considering the connection between the story and the character so that the clothes in the last scene look cool or cute." ''said Fusako Nakao, Color Design.''
 +
 +
"The compositing section in an animation production combines all the image materials. it involves elevating the work by interpreting and composing the materials created by various creators such as drawing, background, CG, etc. However, similar to cooking, great ingredients do not always result in delicious food, so this can improve or destroy the final work. This is the pain and reward of our section. In The Scarlet Bullet, the themes are vacuum superconducting maglev, sports festival so we aimed to create images that conveys speed and dynamism." ''said Jin Nishiyama, Director of Photography.''
 +
 +
"The story this time has the major elements related to the story prepared in 3DCG. THe work of creating and incorporating them in each cut is difficult, but it is rewarding to imagine how they are used and the audience reactions to them. In particular, the director placed a lot of emphasis on the vacuum superconducting maglev, and it was created with him proposing various ideas for the designs and textures. I would like to show everyone the vaccum superconducting maglev as soon as possible!" ''said Hiroki Matsukura, the CG Director.'' 
 +
 +
"In this work, there are various vehicles such as vacuum superconducting maglev, bullet train, automobiles, motorcycles, etc. 3DCG is used in many vehicles and we tried to express various colors and textures according to the situation. Aslo, because vehicles need to interact with characters and the background, we tested them to make sure their look are integrated properly. In some cases, we had to replace the full scene with 3DCG. Creating images that matches Director Nagaoka's vision and requests is both a challenge and rewarding." ''said Hiromitsu Koiwa, the CG Director.''
 +
 
 +
'''Question 2: What is the highlight of this work?'''
 +
 
 +
"I think it will be hard to notice, but we made many detailed touches so I hope you can enjoy the world of Conan." ''said Kouki Fukushima, Art Director.''
 +
 +
"Other than the Akai Family, I think you can understand the relationship and thoughts of each characters. I try to adjust the colours so that the characters look good in the scene, I hope you enjoy it while paying attention to such details." ''said  Fusako Nakao, Color Design.''
 +
 +
"An animation movie is an art form born from a collaboration with many cast and staff, so the attention to detail from every section is condensed. The detailed attention of each section is concentrated. Other than enjoying the actions of Conan and the Akai Family, I hope you can also enjoy the atmosphere, speed and thrill created by our efforts, which might not be obvious at first glance." ''said Jin Nishiyama, Director of Photography.''
 +
 +
"If I write too much, I will spoil the movie. So, I will express it with an image. The highlight of this movie is the tension in a closed environment like The Bullet Train Movie (1875) by Director Junya Sato and the interaction in the vacuum superconducting maglev. The 3DCG team prepared images that add tension as much as possible as the story develops with the characters trying to solve the case with their all." ''said Hiroki Matsukura, CG Director.''
 +
 +
"I think the main highlight should be Conan drawing closer to the mystery and the Akai Family, and the key stage of the vacuum superconducting maglev and global sports festivel. I think the content of the movie as a whole has many highlights, such as bold action scenes. Also, 3DCG is used in unexpected places such as characters and background. So, if you pay attention to that area, you may be able to enjoy it from a different perspective." ''said Hiromitsu Koiwa, CG Director.''

'''Summary:'''
 +
In commemoration of the release of Volume 100, Tokyo FM's [世界はまんがで出来ている] conducted a 2-part special featuring Detective Conan's Editor-In Charge, Gosho Aoyama, Arai Takahiro, and Kanba Mayuko. The following is a compilation by Kemo of the Twitter Thread by the Host of the Radio Show which includes a few questions they thought might be of interest to the readers/listeners. Please note that this is not an exhaustive version of the Airing.
 +
 +
'''Highlights:'''
  
 +
# Aoyama often watches dramas and romantic comedies! He likes the Japanese Series "Unnatural."
 +
# Gosho Aoyama views Conan as a Murder and love-comedy series 
 +
# Gosho is amazed at the popularity of Amuro
 +
# When the Editor In-Charge, Matsumoto, was asked if he knew the ending of the series, he responded by saying "Yes, I know..."
 +
# Aoyama-sensei's favorite song is the orchestral version of "1001 Violins" by Blue Hearts
 +
# Hanzawa's Mangaka, Kanba Mayuko, finds Agasa Suspicious
 +
# Arai Takahiro finds it amazing that the world of the Detective Conan is so stylized, which allows people to talk about lots of small things.
 +
# Gosho spends many hours with his editors trying to come up with creative tricks, he says it's hard to pick the best one everytime, and that meetings with the editors can last at least 12 hours at a time.
 +
# When Asked If he likes the "Childhood friendship" elements and/or has any personal memories of some of his own, Gosho responded saying he doesn't have any personal memories but likes "Childhood friendships" because he can always conveniently dig them up and use them later on.
 +
# Aoyama has been playing a lot of "KanColle" recently
 +
# Aoyama's Monday morning's (8am - 9am) is usually spent on updating AC Hints.
 +
# Aoyama usually sleeps at 6/7 am and wakes up at 1pm
 +
# Aoyama: ''"When I was working on "Magic Kaito" and "Detective George's Mini-Mini Big Strategy" at the same time, I was so busy that I skipped a drawing. The first thing the editor, Mr. Hori, said to me was, "You've become terrible at drawing," and then he said, "If you cut corners, your readers will find out...they'll leave you..." It was heartbreaking. It was heartbreaking."''
 +
# When the Editor In-Charge was asked "Do you have a plan for the final episode of Detective Conan?", he answered "According to Aoyama-sensei, 'Of course! I can't say when I'll announce it, but...'"
