| + | <u>★館長あいさつ</u><br/> | ||
| + | アニメ映画の『長靴をはいた猫/ペロの大冒険』（’69年/宮崎駿原画）を、幼稚園生の時大画面で観て、ただひたすら〝スゴイな～〟って感動しまくった。以来、映画が大好きになって。今でも、だ～い好きっ！！ジャンルは問わず、なんでも観るよ。ただ、ここ数年は、仕事が忙しくて、映画館はおろかビデオ店へも行けずじまい。誰かオレ専用の映画館でも作ってくれ～！！ | ||
| + | </br> | ||
| + | </br> | ||
| + | '''<u>プログラム１・映画で解明！！オレの漫画に潜む謎</u>'''<br/> | ||
| + | ジャンルは問わないんだけど、オレが好きになる作品って、'''キャラクターに〝ひねり〟が加えられているものが多い'''んだ。これって、オレの漫画に通じてる部分でもあるんだけど・・・・・・だから、と言うか、やっぱり、と言うか、'''映画からインスピレーションみたいなもの受けて、完成した漫画、けっこうあるんだよね'''。<br/> | ||
| + | 例えば、40周年記念で今回描き上げた『まじっく快斗』は、大学生の頃に観た『マジック・ボーイ』（’82年/G・オニール主演）から始まってるって言ってもいいね。主人公は、16歳の天才マジシャンで、カッコいいなぁ・・・・・・って思ってて。映画の中の男のコはね、誰の力も借りずに、ひとりで悪い奴をやっつけて行くんだけど、それもまたカッコ良くてさ。〝こいつを怪盗にしたらどーだろう〟って思いを巡らせてたら、〝快斗〟の誕生となった訳。 | ||

| − | + | '''Judging from the characters that are appearing in your work, which one is your favourite?'''<br>If I have to chose from girls, it’s Ran. And Conan’s mother, Yukiko. Yukiko was modelled after Fujiko Mine, and, to be honest, I borrowed her hair style. | |
| − | + | '''That’s why her chest is so big.'''<br>Hahaha. Her chest is big, yeah, and she also can disguise herself. She also rides Harley and wears leather jackets. The whole disguising technique came from Lupin the Third. | |
| − | + | '''Do you have any favourite actresses?'''<br>Right… Some time ago it was Kikuchi Momoko. Now… Hirosue :) And Yūka, I guess. | |

I didn’t have, but at the elementary school I was taken camping to the mountains, it was a lesson, so I had to, I was the last and I lost… And came to girls’ group. When we met, I left the cave with them.<br>There was a girl I liked in there :) | |

We kind of made a long way around, and returned. We thought everyone would be angry at us, so everyone started crying before we reached the meeting point. I called it fake tears :) | |

| − | + | '''Readers should also love not just Shinichi, but also Ran, and I want them to support them both! Right?'''<br>Yeah. It was like that at the beginning, see? It’s because you understand it’s mutual feeling, right? It’s not like when characters pretend to hate each other and then, at vol. 8 or something you just [oh, so they loved each other?]. You know it from the very beginning. But since he turned small, it’s a bit hard for them. | |
| − | + | '''It’s even sadder because of that, I think everyone will support them. Every character is, so to speak, slow.'''<br>Ah, yeah-yeah. Seiyuu Hayashibara Megumi-san said that too! [Kind of too slow] :) I believe she thought [It’s because they think about themself]. | |
| − | + | '''That’s a really irritating feeling, but I bet readers find it amazing.'''<br>Yes-yes. So I’ll probably make them more irritated :) | |
| − | + | '''A lot of people say [We want Conan-kun and Ai-chan to have something]'''<br>Yes-yes. A-a… Impossible, just impossible :) | |
| − | + | '''Impossible after all? Which one Ai-chan prefer - Kudo-kun or Edogawa-kun?'''<br>Smaller one, I think? Conan. Hayashibara-san also said that [big one is nice, but give me a smaller one] :) | |
| − | + | '''Speaking about adults, Satou-keiji and Takagi-keiji are also leading? They have a lot of fans. Saying things like [Please let them marry!]'''<br>Hahaha. So they want them to marry… Wonder what should I do… | |
| − | + | '''Don’t you think it’s time? Their relationships developed a lot… (TN: COUGH 2004 year COUGH)'''<br>Right-right (big laughter) I look forward to drawing it. Comparing to Shinichi and the others, Satou and Takagi didn’t have much obstacles. | |
| − | + | '''If only there wasn’t Shiratori-keibu.'''<br>Aa. Shiratori :) Right-right. | |
| − | |||
| − | ''' | + | '''Ah, that tailing at Tropical Marine Land was so funny. All their hearing errors…'''<br>[Heroin]’s became [hirouen (reception)] and blood’s [kekkon (stain)] - [kekkon (marriage)], that? To be honest, I really liked drawing it. |
| − | '' | + | '''And Satou-keiji is really popular, right? Everyone but Megure-keibu and Chiba-keibu love her!'''<br>Right. She’s great :) When a woman takes a job full of male workers, of course she’ll be popular. |
| − | + | '''Is Satou-san the only one woman in the first division of Criminal Investigation Bureau?'''<br>Right… I never drew it, but I guess there are others? If they are there, I bet they are quite pitiable. Hahaha. | |
| − | + | '''Sensei, you said earlier [I see Kogoro-san as Jinnai Takanori], if you were to make a live action, what would you do? There are a lot of fans who are against life action, you see…'''<br>I would like to see Matuda Yuusaku as Shinichi’s dad. I really like him. I would’ve wrote Takizawa-kun as Kudo Shinichi, but even if I’ll say saw, fangirls will go like [no waay~ not Takki!], you see :) | |
| − | |||
| − | + | '''In the survey, we thought there would be more Heiji-playing candidates, but, surprisingly, there weren’t.'''<br>Weren’t? Not much dark-skinned, you see. | |
| − | + | '''When sensei just started to draw the very first chapter of [Meitantei Conan], did he expected a lot of fangirls?'''<br>Yeah… But I didn’t expect that many. The love comedy aspect wasn’t really strong. When I look through fan letters, all male fans are around middle school, and everyone older are all female fans. Looks like I’m popular among housewives :)<br>Especially a lot of cases where a mother watches it with her child and becomes interested herself. When I go to cinemas, there a lot of women of mother-like age. I don’t think children and mothers number is equal.<br>:) [When I started reading it, I was a high school student, but now I am a mother] - fan letters like this came to me. That’s going pretty wild. | |
| − | + | '''What criminal left the most big impression on you, sensei? Like, even if they committed a crime, you really liked them.'''<br>Of course Tsukishima Island’s Asou Seiji. But he died. A criminal who can’t kill people easily. That’s the impression left of him. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | '''Did you decide to kill him in the end of the story right from the beginning?'''<br>Yes. That has been decided. And there was a foreigner… what’s his name, Harold. At the Karakuri Spider Mansion. I pitied him too… | |
| − | |||
| − | + | '''[SHINE] that was read as [die]?'''<br>Yes, that was pitiful too. After I drew that, I thought that he really is pitiful… :) If it wasn’t for that, I would’ve probably made him commit suicide, murdering someone just for that… Assistant also asked me [why? why did you drew that?] | |
| − | |||
| − | + | '''Your assistants can say such things?'''<br>They can. If something’s boring, they’ll say it’s boring. And they can say something like [That was kind of great that time]. | |

| − | + | '''Kaito Kid is a guest from another manga, but he’s becoming famous. Sensei, what do you think about it?'''<br>When I was about to enter Kaito Kid, I thought [Should I make that egoistic thing?] :) Matsumoto Reiji-sensei makes that a lot, don’t you think? In 999, Harlock and Queen Emeralds appear, for example. I liked that feeling. I always wait eagerly for the pain plot, but when a guest appears, I think it’s nice.<br>Recently, when Kaito Kid appeared, when I read internet, Magic Kaito fans went nuts. [He won’t lose to Conan!], a lot of comments like that :) That became kind of fuss. But, different from [Magic Kaito], I drew only Kaito Kid himself. Not Kuroba Kaito. And I don’t show what Kid thinks, only Conan’s POV. And Kid uses really pompous phrases…. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | '''Really pompous. He’s a good rival to Shinichi-kun.'''<br>Yeah… He really became kind of pretentious. :) My main character. It’s hard to think of his lines. | |
| − | + | '''Have you taken some cool lines from books or films?'''<br>No… They just come to me, while I’m relaxing. | |
| − | + | '''To be honest, in readers survey the most popular opinion is [we want complete profiles for characters]. Like, a lot want to know Heiji’s birthdate.'''<br>Heeh. When Heiji born, huh… I want to know it myself, but he acts like a Leo. | |
| − | + | '''Yes, and him being dark-skinned… That’s an August kind of thing. You’re planning to reveal it eventually?'''<br>Hm. I really want to think of birthdays. I did Agasa-hakase’s birthday. That took me 10 years :) 53 years… When I started drawing it, I thought [That’s quite a grandpa], but when I think about it right now, he’s not that old. Maybe I should’ve made him 63? Fail~ | |
| − | + | '''Everyone call him [jii-san], and he looks like a ojiisan.'''<br>Yep. I failed :) | |
| − | + | '''He looks like a professor from Ocha no Mizu.'''<br>Right. It even looks like I’ve stolen Ocha no Mizu’s professor :) | |
| − | '' | + | '''Speaking of birthdays and blood types, people really [want to know about their loved one]. Especially blood types, Ran said [My blood type is the same as this child’s], and everyone got curious.'''<br>If I’ll say it, I think girls with other blood type would be sad. Just think of it as anyone you like. That’s why I probably won’t reveal it. |
| − | + | '''What is Sharon Vineyard’s age? Chris is 29, so being her mother… Have you thought about it?'''<br>Hee. Hehehe. | |
| − | '' | + | '''Gin knows her age? We’re worried :) At least relatively?'''<br>Hehehe. Right. That’s pretty much a core question. |
| − | + | '''A lot of people want to know how it’ll end. I won’t ask about that, so I’ll make another question. Shinichi lived alone 3 years, right? How did he managed his housework?'''<br>He made his meals my himself, sometimes Ran made it for him, professor too. I don’t think he’s skilled at cooking. | |
| − | |||
| − | '' | + | '''When he was back, he had only a toast for breakfast, so I guess he didn’t cook anything?'''<br>Hahaha. Yeah, that’s true. |
| − | |||
| − | + | '''Ran standed in line for Fusae Campbell’s branded goods, so what did she buy in the end? Because it is Ran-chan, maybe it was a purse?'''<br>What did she buy hmm… Well, let’s think she did buy a purse. When I’ll draw her purse next time, I’ll tell assistant [here, ass some leaf pattern]. And readers would be like [a-a, so that is what she bought]. Hahaha. | |

| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | '''It doesn’t look like she bought a big bag. Ran doesn’t have that much of allowance.'''<br>Aa, right. Right. That was not expensive. Nice good with reasonable price. | |
| − | + | '''You really need to draw after making a big research. At that sphere there are a lot of things you can’t draw without understanding technical details, I guess it’s hard to research?'''<br>That’s more of [please ask about…] and searching in internet kind of thing. When I drew a story about fishing, I became really knowledgeable in fishing sphere. And when I drew the story about bears, I learned a lot of details of bear behaviour.<br>I also know a lot about dogs.<br>'''That’s interesting :)'''<br>Like, about dog breeds. But I’m starting to forget by now. | |
| − | + | '''You have a lot of animals appearing. Sensei, do you like animals?'''<br>Hmm… I guess? Haibara loves animals. I had a dog when I was a child, and was really sad when it died…<br>I can’t get another one because I think it’ll die someday too. I bought a robot dog once… | |
| − | + | '''But you lost interest in it?'''<br>Yep. I gave it to a friend :) Robot dogs really grow. By stages. At first it starts walking around the house slowly… So when I thought [it’ll start to walk soon], it tried to stand but couldn’t. That was a bit revolting. It was too much ‘real’. I was scared. | |
| − | + | '''A lot of places appear in series. When you want to draw it, do you go there to gather material?'''<br>The story that’s going on right now is in Okinawa, but I never been there. Camera people made photos of Naha airport for me. | |
| − | + | '''I see. You can’t go, right? Having no time…'''<br>I went to NY. There’s [author takes a break in order to gather materials] message a lot, but that time it was not a non appearance because I missed deadline, I actually went to gather material :) Other than NY, just being in Tokyo is boring, so Conan and others travel a lot. | |
| − | + | '''Would you be happy if another prefectural police officer appears?'''<br>?! Yes. Totally. I thought about it a lot. Gunma, Shizuoka, Kanagawa… And Saitama’s Yokomizo-keiji stopped appearing. To be honest, police officers don’t actually transfer. At the beginning, I made him being transferred a lot to whole of different places, and had him said [you too have come here!], but then I was told that [there’s no thing as job transfer in police] | |
| − | + | '''You were scolded by a police-related person?'''<br>Not exactly, I have a fan who’s really fluent in police relations. ''[In WEB Sunday’s next preview there was [Takagi-keiji is going to transfer to Tottori?] written, so I thought [there’s no transferring!], went to inquire about to Joint Security Investigation Center, and there is actually, so good job, Aoyama-sensei!]''<br>That was close~ :) | |
| − | + | '''How much people are inside the BO?'''<br>Aa… I guess a lot. | |
| − | + | '''A lot of people want to know who is [Anokata]. They wrote an e-mail/text message in Japanese, is they Japanese?'''<br>Well… I wonder. Everyone see even smallest details, huh. | |
| − | + | '''If you’ll come up with it, will Gin’s or someone else’s nationality be shown?'''<br>Heh, Gin’s concept name was [Kurosawa Jin] :) Hahaha | |
| − | + | '''Ehhhhh! Gin has a name?! Then Vodka’s is [Uokka Saburou]? That name was in registry book!'''<br>Aa~ I drew a registry book! You can’t see it, but there’s [Kurosawa Jin] written next to Uokka Saburou. Really! Hahaha. :) | |
| − | + | '''It can’t be that they came up with their code names because of that puns! I think :)<br>Before vol. 42 people thought that Akai Shuichi is suspicious. And because of that everyone went [eeeeh?!]'''<br>He’s a good man. Hahaha :) He is a little gloomy. But this has a reason. Hehehe. :) | |
| − | + | '''We was like [He’s too suspicious!] Because of his cold eyes.'''<br>He was the only one character of mine whom I added a slant line to the eyes :) I usually do that only to dead people. I really like this character. His voice is Ikeda Shuichi-san after all. | |
| − | + | '''There is a rumour that sensei requested this seiyuu-san by himself.'''<br>Right-right. When NY special was out, I said [he’s cool. too cool]. That was great. | |
| − | + | '''What was Araide-sensei doing in America?'''<br>Hm. He was a doctor, right? I don’t know. Maybe something different? You see, when everyone saw that Araide-sensei was Vermouth, Araide-sensei’s fans became really sad about it. | |
| − | + | '''I thought he won’t appear again, I’m really happy he returned.'''<br>He’s back~! I think he is pretty interesting character. | |
| − | + | '''He’s a tender person and everyone understand it.'''<br>Araide-sensei is going to have a bad time after all of that… kind of. | |
| − | + | '''Eehhh?! Why? I don’t want to hear it, to be honest :)'''<br>Because of the place Vermouth lived in. Maybe she left a lot of stuff, don’t you think? It would be bad if he’ll find some. | |
| − | + | '''Conan-kun wears Shinichi’s old clothes, and Ai-chan buys her by herself?'''<br>Ha~ Yes. Hakase can’t buy it after all. | |
| − | + | '''She is really like a small adult. Her clothes feels like one onee-san would wear.'''<br>Right-right. Haibara reads magazines like CanCam. Such magazines are brought to me too. Sometime ago I went to buy by myself, but people in store made strange faced. Because I was buying a lot of women magazines. Thus I stopped buying it by myself. | |
| − | + | '''You draw their clothes by looking at such magazines?'''<br>I took one I like and that look easy to draw. If there’re swimsuits, I look through fashionable swimsuits. Usually when it becomes an anime episode, a year passed and by the time it comes on screens, that clothes are not fashionable. I managed to catch a moment when ganguros were trending. Hahaha :)<br>At the time anime episode was out they nearly stopped trending at all. When I drew the case, they were really popular and by the anime episode time only village girls were doing that. | |
| − | + | '''Time difference is harsh for fashion.'''<br>It is. That’s why I didn’t draw things like loose socks. I didn’t draw it because I thought they’ll go out of fashion, but. Until this very day (2004) they are remaining. [What. I should’ve drawn them]. | |
| − | + | '''Are there towns that became models for Beika and Haido?'''<br>Names come out from Baker street and Hyde park but I wonder where town structure came~ | |
| − | + | '''PAPCO surroundings really look like Shibuya Park’s PARCO, is it somewhere in Shibuya?'''<br>Hmm… I never thought of it :) That’s random. I drew the atmosphere of the place I live in. Like, when I lived at Kita Senju, I drew surroundings having it in mind. A place that’s just of some distance from the city centre. | |
| − | + | '''But it has a lot of stuff. An amusement park, a cinema, a shopping centre… '''<br>It grew bigger, huh. | |
| − | + | '''You had to have that in town :) Beika-city has only 5 town blocks?'''<br>Maybe? You ask even about this… :) You see, at the case with a series of arson I had to say which town block had it. I was asked [How about making it in 5 block?] So I did.<br>In a previous book I was asked to draw a map, but I can’t. It doesn’t come together. | |
| − | + | '''Like… You draw that street, you draw another street… And those two are connected?-feeling?'''<br>They don’t. Tohto tower is Tokyo tower. It’s like a mix of fiction and reality. | |
| − | + | '''That would be the least question. What is the future place you want to make a case in? Is there a place you want to go to?'''<br>That’s of course London. Although I heard the food there is really bad. I need to make cool incident in London. | |
| − | + | '''Then please go there to gather material. But speaking of London, that’s a place where Holmes lived, maybe that’ll become a place for [final battle]?'''<br>Hahaha :) Noo. London would be served for love comedy. Ran and Shinichi’s. Love comedy’s final battle. | |
| − | + | '''Love comedy’s final battle! What will be there? I really want to read it! I’ll be waiting!''' | |
| − | + | '''EXTRA:'''<br> | |
| + | '''I want to ask about Ayumi-chan’s house and family!'''<br>At first, Mitsuhiko was the one who looked like 'a young master’, but in the movie [The Last Wizard of the Century] Kid stopped by at Ayumi-chan’s place. That’s why I quickly made Ayumi-chan living in multi-stored condominium . | ||
| + | I never even dreamt about it. And then I suddenly realized that Ayumi-chan is the richest! I think it’s because Ayumi-chan’s father is a pilot. Like Himitsu no Akko-chan’s father, who is a captain, you see. | ||

| − | + | Hello, it’s Aoyama Gosho. Speaking about a book that’ll have Conan VS Kid battles, I was unsure, whether would people actually buy it, but at least people who are reading it right now have bought it. Thank you. | |
| − | + | When Kid first appeared, I drew him thinking of him like special guest for one time, I never thought he’ll appear enough to compile a book, what a shock :) At first I only wanted Conan to have a strong rival. Hattori Heiji is his deduction rival and detective pal. But I wanted a rival that was an arch nemesis to detectives, natural enemy, to appear. Then how about an elusive daredevil thief, like Arsen Lupin and Lupin III? I was their fan since the very childhood. So, I thought a lot about a rival, who’s smart as Conan and can oppose him…. | |
| − | + | Wait a second! I knew someone who is exactly fit for this… And he’s right next to me! :) | |
| − | + | I was unsure about a main character from my other work appearing, so I went to consult with that time Shounen Sunday’s Editor in Chief. He readily said me that it’s okay. So I happily created a showdown between Conan and Kaito Kid.<br>They even have a beginning, in [Magic Kaito]’s [Black Star chapter] Shinichi appears, which of course wasn’t an original thought :) Of course right now I think a lot about Conan and Kid connections. | |
| − | + | But the reason of Shinichi’s appearance in [Magic Kaito] is that I wanted to draw him acting in his Shinichi form, it doesn’t have any deep meaning. Kid/Kaito’s rivals are Nakamori-keibu and Hakuba-kun. Shinichi is, so called, special guest. | |
| − | + | So you can expect to read Shinichi’s important activity before he became Conan in this book. And I’ll comment it for [Magic Kaito] fans, Nakamori-keibu wasn’t assigned to police HQ at that time, that was back in time where he worked at Minato Police Station.<br>I think that Conan and Kid relation as ‘the one who chases’ and 'the one who runs’ will continue in [Meitantei Conan]. Well, I don’t know who’ll win in the end though :)<br>I will draw it with great pleasure, so please wait for it!! | |

| − | + | 日本テレビ系の人気アニメ「名探偵コナン」（月曜後７・３０）が、今年で放送開始から１０周年を迎えた。９日には、これを記念して２時間半のスペシャル「ブラックインパクト！組織の手が届く瞬間」（後７・００）を放送する。原作者の青山剛昌（ごうしょう）に、１０周年の感想などを聞いた。(福田淳) | |
| − | + | 高校生探偵の工藤新一が、「黒の組織」の開発した毒薬を飲まされ、体が縮んで子供の姿になってしまう。彼は「江戸川コナン」と名乗り、変わらぬ頭脳で難事件を解決していく——。 | |
| − | + | 原作の漫画は、１９９４年１月に週刊少年サンデー（小学館）で連載が始まった。すぐに人気を集め、９６年１月からアニメ化された。放送回数は昨年末までに４２４話、平均視聴率は１６・７％（ビデオリサーチ調べ、関東地区）を記録している。 | |
| − | + | 青山は、「スタート時は、こんなに続くとは全く思っていなかった。もって３か月かな、と」。「『コナンと同じ年だったのに、新一に追いつきました』というファンレターも来ますが、自分ではあまりに忙しくて、そんなに年がたった感覚がないんです」と感慨深げに話す。 | |
| − | + | 主人公が小さくなるという発想は、赤川次郎の「三毛猫ホームズ」から。「一つだけ大きなうそをついているが、それ以外のトリックや謎解きはリアリティーを追求している」という。「全然子供向けと思わずに描いています。平気で『絞殺』なんて出てくる。だから、親が読んで夢中になることもあるんでしょう」 | |
| − | + | テレビアニメには、今ではあまり関与していないが、年１回の映画版には脚本や絵コンテなどにとことん口を出す。「本当はアニメが好きで、アニメーターになりたかった」と言うだけあって、自ら原画も描く。「やはり自分が考えたシーンやいいせりふの部分は、自分でやりたくなるんです」。映画第１０作の「探偵たちの鎮魂歌」は、４月１５日から公開予定だ。 | |
| − | + | コナン役の声優・高山みなみと、昨年５月に結婚した。「家に帰って仕事のことを忘れたい時でもコナンの声がするんですよ」と苦笑いしつつも、「たまに『こういう時ってコナンはどういう感じでしゃべる？』と聞いて、やってもらうこともあります」と明るい笑顔で語った。 | |
| − | + | アニメ化を企画した読売テレビの諏訪道彦チーフプロデューサーも、「ストーリーもののアニメで１０年も続いているのは珍しい存在。今でも新番組という感覚で作っている」と話している。 | |
| − | + | 2006年1月6日 読売新聞 Online | |
| − | + | 上戸彩が、「名探偵コナン」１０周年のスペシャル・サポーターを務めることが決まった。９日の放送から１０週にわたってクイズを出題するほか、ＣＭでコナンと共演したり、情報番組でＰＲしたり、様々な形で番組を応援していく。 | |
| − | + | 小さいころからコナンの大ファンだという上戸は、「父と毎週見ていた思い出深いアニメ。小学生だった私が見ても楽しかったし、大人も楽しめる。すごく分かりやすい反面、事件は難しくて、犯人捜しは大抵当たりません。劇中でコナンと共演してみたいですね」と語った。</div> | |

| − | + | ''I want to thank every reader and viewer who reads the manga or watches the anime'', stated the original artist, Gosho Aoyama. | |
| − | + | NTV's popular anime, ''Detective Conan'' (Monday, 7:30 to 8:00), celebrates this year its 10th broadcast anniversary, by broadcasting this Monday a two-hour special called ''Black Impact! The Moment the Organization Reaches Out'' (starting 7:00 PM). The original work's author, Gosho Aoyama, gave us his feelings on this anniversary (article by Jun Fukuda). | |
| − | + | Shinichi Kudo was a high-school detective until a mysterious criminal organization made him drink a poison which shrank his body to the state of a child. He now calls himself Conan Edogawa and solves any kind of cases thanks to his mind. | |
| + | The original work began on January 1994 in the Shonen Sunday magazine (from Shogakukan). It became an instant hit, and was animated in 1996. 424 episodes have been broadcasted to this day, and the average rating is of 16.7% (in the Kanto area). | ||
| − | + | Aoyama told us: ''At the beginning, I thought I wouldn't draw the manga for a long time. I thought it would last three months, give or take. A few years ago, a fan told me in a fan-letter that he had thought Conan would become Shinichi before the end of the year. But I told myself that the story wouldn't have any meaning if I did something that quick.'' | |
| − | + | The idea of a little hero comes from ''Mikeneko Holmes no Suiri'', created by Jiro Akagawa. ''He lives in a big lie, he must understand murder tricks, and he in a quest for the truth'', he told us. ''I don't draw for kids. There are scenes where people strangle other people with cold blood. That's why older people like the series.'' | |
| − | + | While he is not involved in drawing the anime, he has written and drawn some scenes of the annual movies. ''Actually, I've always enjoyed animes, so I wanted to become an anime artist.'', he told us, even though he already draws the manga. ''I've written and drawn one scene of the movie, because I wanted to do it.'' | |
| + | The movie ''The Private Eyes' Requiem'', the tenth movie of the franchise, will be released on the 15th of April. | ||
| − | + | He got married with Conan's voice actress, Minami Takayam, in May. ''When I go home after my work is finished, I want to forget my job, but I still hear Conan's voice in my house.'', he told us, a grin on his lips. | |
| + | ''Sometimes, people tell me ''Conan says what I feel'', and it's sometimes the same for me !'', he also told us with a smile. | ||
| − | + | The director of Yomiuri TV, Michihiko Suwa, stated that he hadn't thought that the anime would have lasted so long, since 10-year old animes are very rare. | |

| + | "Detective Conan" celebrates its 10 years on NTV | ||
| − | + | An anime that creates a "good intellectual stimulation" | |
| − | + | The voice actors of the series have never changed since the beginning of the anime: "Conan is like their home", told us the artist, Aoyama. | |
| − | + | The popular anime of Nihon Television, "Detective Conan", celebrates its 10th anniversary in January this year. The ratings are on an average of 10% among teenagers, and the tenth movie will be released in April. The sales for the 51 first volumes have reached 100 million units, and the series still goes on. "I thought an anime wouldn't go well with a deduction-themed manga. But the anime is still being made thanks to the team's hard work," told us Gosho Aoyama. | |
| − | + | Shinichi Kudo was a high-school detective until a mysterious criminal organization made him drink a poison which shrank his body to the state of a child. He now calls himself Conan Edogawa, and lives at his childhood friend's house, in order to solve all kinds of cases, while waiting for the Black Organization to make a move. | |
| − | + | An anime adaptation began to air on television one year after the first chapter's release in Shogakukan's 'Shonen Sunday'. "The murders are drawn, and people die frequently. So I first thought "It's impossible, are they really going to do an anime?"," Aoyama told us. | |
| − | + | When he was in college, the author wanted to become an anime artist. That's why Aoyama works together with the movie production team for the Detective Conan movies. He is very involved in everything related to the Conan anime. | |
| − | + | ''I was already drawing the manga, so when the anime team began the creation process of the anime, I told them "I'll also do my best". It became one of my main motivations. Even better, I found ideas for the manga while talking to the anime production team." | |
| − | + | A 10-year Special episode was realeased on the 9th of January. It's a battle between the Black Organization and Conan, where both of them have to attack and defend themselves. Since the episodes are released, the gap between the anime and the original work has been shortened. Are the final confrontation and the end of the series near? | |
| − | + | ''Everything we talk about during our meetings is kept secret. Actually, the boss's name has already appeared in the manga. Try and find it." | |
| − | + | The veteran voice actor of the clumsy detective Kogoro Mori, Akira Kamiya-san, gave a certain charm to the anime thanks to his vocal performances. | |
| + | "Her voice is exactly what I had in mind," Aoyama-san told us when speaking of Conan's voice actor, Minami Takayama-san, a woman. He's married with her since last year. | ||
| − | + | ''After I create a case, I like to ask myself "How would Conan say that?", or "Is it good like that?". Moreover, I always have Conan at home. When I go home after my work is finished, I want to forget my job, but I still hear Conan's voice... in my house." | |

| + | Wie viele Bände soll Detektiv Conan insgesamt haben? | ||
| − | + | Es steht noch nicht fest, wie viele Bände es insgesamt werden. | |
| − | + | Steht schon fest, wie die Serie enden wird? | |
| − | + | Die letzte Szene hat Gosho Aoyama schon im Kopf, aber er wird sie natürlich noch nicht verraten. | |
| − | + | Wird es ein Happy End geben? | |
| − | + | Auch das verrät Gosho Aoyama noch nicht. | |
| − | + | Wann hat Heiji Geburtstag? | |
| − | + | Das steht noch gar nicht fest, er dürfte aber im Juli oder August geboren sein. | |
| − | + | Wird Conan im Lauf der Serie auch mal älter, wird er beispielsweise in die zweite Klasse versetzt? | |
| − | + | Nein, Conan wird nicht älter werden. Außer vielleicht am Schluss, aber wie gesagt, der ist noch geheim. | |
| − | + | In einem der Kinofilme legt sich Sonoko eine andere Frisur zu(siehe Film 5). Wird sie diese Frisur auch in Manga bekommen? | |
| − | + | Die Filme und die Manga sind völlig getrennt. Im Manga wird Sonoko also ihre alte Frisur behalten. | |
| − | + | Will Gosho Aoyama nicht den letzten Band schon schreiben und in einem Safe einschließen? | |
| − | + | Nein, das wird er nicht machen. | |
| − | + | Hat das Gegenmittel für das Schrumpfgift etwas mit Nekrose zu tun? | |
| − | + | Das ist noch unklar. | |
| − | + | Werden weitere Kinder die Detective Boys verstärken? | |
| − | + | Zur Zeit sind keine weiteren Mitglieder vorgesehen. | |
| − | + | Stehen den japanischen Fans in der nächsten Zeit größere Überraschungen ins Haus? | |
| − | + | Ja, es wird einige Überraschungen geben. Dabei wird der Name Haibara eine Rolle spielen. | |
| − | Gosho Aoyama | + | Möchte Gosho Aoyama Kinder haben? |
| − | + | Im Moment ist kein Nachwuchs geplant. | |
| − | + | Wie gefällt es Gosho Aoyama in Deutschland? Wird Conan vielleicht mal einen Fall in Deutschland lösen? | |
| − | + | Gosho Aoyama findet Deutschland sehr schön, insbesondere die Würste haben es ihm angetan. Ein Fall für Conan im Ausland wird es allerdings wohl nicht geben, denn woher sollte der kleine Detektiv einen Reisepass bekommen? | |
| − | + | Aber in einem der Filme hat Conan einen Fall in London(siehe Film 6) gelöst? | |
| − | + | Er war ja nicht wirklich in London. Aber vielleicht besorgt er sich einen gefälschten Pass... An dieser Stelle wirft Steffen Hautog ein, wie gut er es findet, dass die Fans für die Kinofilme extra nach Japan fahren, denn in Deutschland sind die Filme ja noch nicht veröffentlicht worden. | |
| − | + | Woher nimmt Gosho Aoyama die Ideen für Conans Fälle? | |
| − | + | Diese Frage bekommt er oft gestellt. Seine Inspiration findet er oft im Alltag, beispielsweise bei einer Toilette: Wenn der Deckel aufgeklappt ist, hat zuletzt ein Mann die Toilette benutzt. Ist der Deckel unten, war es eine Frau. Solche Kleinigkeiten können in die Fälle einfließen. | |
| − | + | In den Manga finden sich oft kleine Extra-Comics. Sind das reine Gags, oder nutzen seine Assistenten das schon mal, um ihren | |
| − | + | Chef etwas zu ägern? | |
| − | + | Das sind reine Gag-Strips. | |
| − | + | Kann sich Gosho Aoyama einen Cameo-Auftritt in Conan vorstellen? | |
| − | + | Nein, er wird nicht selbst in Conan auftreten. | |
| − | + | Welches Ergebnis tippt Gosho Aoyama für das WM-Fußballspiel Japan gegen Kroatien? | |
| − | + | Er wünscht sich ein 2:0 für Japan. Aber die Kroaten sind sehr stark, deshalb wird die japanische Mannschaft es schwer haben. | |
| − | + | Gosho Aoyama betreibt aktiv Sport, beispielsweise Kendo. Spielt er auch Fußball? | |
| − | + | Beim Fußball ist er nur Zuschauer. Seine Lieblingsmannschaft ist übrigens Juventus Turin. | |
| − | + | Wie groß ist Conan? | |
| − | + | Gosho Aoyama zeigt mit der Hand auf etwa 1,30 Meter. Steffen Hautog wirft die Begriffe ABC-Schützengröße und Dreikäsehoch ein. | |
| − | + | Warum sind alle Mitglieder der Schwarzen Organisation nach alkoholischen Getränken benannt? | |
| − | + | Weil das cool ist. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Wieso hat Gosho Aoyama einen Detektiv in den Körper eines Grundschulkindes gesteckt? | |
| − | + | Die Serie ist für Kinder gedacht, deshalb sollte auch die Hauptperson ein Kind sein. | |
| − | + | Warum sind fast alle Charaktere in Conan blauäugig, obwohl in Japan nur wenige Menschen blaue Augen haben? | |
| − | + | Blau ist bunter. | |
| − | + | Möchte Gosho Aoyama Kaito Kid fortsetzen? | |
| − | + | Er möchte schon, allerdings hat er im Moment nicht die Zeit dazu. Also wird sich der Meisterdieb erst mal auf gelegentliche Auftritte bei Conan beschränken. In Japan ist gerade ein Band erschienen, in dem die Entstehung von Kids Namen erzählt wird. | |
| − | + | Wird Conan erfahren, wer hinter Kid steckt? Wird Kid gefasst, von Conan oder von der Polizei? | |
| − | + | Das steht noch nicht fest. | |
| − | + | Wird Yusaku Kudo wieder einmal einen Auftritt haben? | |
| − | + | Gosho Aoyama zeichnet gerade an einer Geschichte, die vor etwa zehn Jahren spielt. Dort wird auch Conans Vater vorkommen. | |
| − | + | Als Gosho Aoyama mit Conan begonnen hat, hat er da mit diesem überwältigenden Erfolg gerechnet? Nein, mit einem so großen Erfolg hat er nicht gerechnet. Er hätte eher geschätzt, dass die Serie vielleicht drei Monate im japanischen Magazin laufen würde. | |
| − | + | Unterrichtet Gosho Aoyama in Japan Nachwuchszeichner? | |
| − | + | Nein, er unterrichtet nicht. | |
| − | + | Welchen Teil der Arbeit an Conan erledigt Gosho Aoyama selbst, welchen Teil seine Assistenten? | |
| − | + | Gosho Aoyama selbst zeichnet die Figuren, seine Assistenten kümmern sich um die Hintergründe, malen größere Flächen aus. | |
| − | + | Wird Sonoko mal einen festen Freund haben? | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Sie hat schon einen festen Freund, und mit dem wird sie auch zusammenbleiben. | |
| − | + | Wird es weitere Verwicklungen zwischen Kaito Kid und Conan geben? | |
| − | + | Nein, sonst würde die Geschichte zu schwer zu verstehen. | |
| − | + | Warum trägt Makoto Kyogoku immer ein Pflaster? | |
| − | + | Weil es cool ist. | |
| − | + | Warum gibt es in Conan so viele Paare, die aus einer Sandkastenliebe hervorgegangen sind? | |
| − | + | Eine Sandkastenliebe ist ein einfaches Motiv, das jeder nachvollziehen kann, deshalb wird es oft verwendet. | |
| − | + | Wieviel Stunden in der Woche arbeitet Gosho Aoyama, und was macht er in seiner Freizeit? | |
| − | + | Gosho Aoyama behauptet, dass er drei Stunden pro Tag schläft. In seiner Freizeit spielt er Computerspiele, schaut Fernsehen und Filme, liest gerne | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Kriminalromane und schaut natürlich auch Fußball. | |
| − | + | Wie schafft es Kogoro, von einer Sekunde auf die nächste nüchtern zu werden? | |
| − | + | Das ist Gosho Aoyama noch gar nicht aufgefallen. | |
| − | + | In einem Film wird die Trennung von Kogoro und seiner Frau gezeigt(siehe Film 2), wird das auch im Manga vorkommen? | |
| − | + | Gosho Aoyama zeichnet gerade an einer Episode, in der die beiden noch zusammen sind. | |
| − | + | Wie heißt Professor Agasas erste Liebe mit Vornamen? | |
| − | + | Sie heißt Fusae. | |
| − | + | Warum ist Ran so gewalttätig? | |
| − | + | Das müsste man Ran selbst fragen. | |
| − | + | Wer ist Gosho Aoyamas Lieblingscharakter aus Conan? | |
| − | + | Der kleine Meisterdetektiv selbst. | |
| − | + | Warum hasst Shuichi Gin so sehr? | |
| − | + | Das wird bald im Manga klar werden. | |
| − | + | Hat Gosho Aoyama vor, nach Conan eine neue Serie zu starten? | |
| − | + | Eine neue Serie ist bisher nicht geplant. | |
| − | + | Wie alt ist Gosho Aoyama? | |
| − | + | Er wird am 21. Juni 43 Jahre alt. | |
| − | + | Wie lang wurde schon insgesamt an Conan gearbeitet? | |
| − | + | Da muss Gosho Aoyama seinen mitgereisten Redakteur fragen. Die Arbeit an Conan läuft seit 1993. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Wer ist der Boss der Schwarzen Organisation? | |
| − | + | Das steht bereits fest, und der Oberboss wird auch noch enttarnt werden. | |
| − | + | Welche Musikrichtung hört Gosho Aoyama gerne? | |
| − | + | Er hört eigentlich kaum Musik, bevorzugt keine bestimmte Richtung. | |
| − | + | Hat Gosho Aoyama noch Vorbilder unter den anderen Mangaka? | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Ja, beispielsweise ist der berühmte Filmregisseur Kurosawa eines seiner Vorbilder. | |
| − | + | In welchem Alter hat er seinen ersten Manga veröffentlicht? | |
| − | + | Auch hier muss der Redakteur aushelfen, Gosho Aoyama war damals etwa 24 Jahre alt. | |
| − | + | Wann hat sich Gosho Aoyama seinen ersten Manga gekauft? Als er im Kindergarten war, hat er sich einen Manga gekauft, den hier aber bestimmt niemand kennt. Sein Vater hat ihm übrigens "Peter Pan" geschenkt. | |
| − | + | Hat Gosho Aoyama Kontakt zu anderen Mangaka? | |
| − | + | Er besucht Partys, auf denen er seine Kollegen trifft. | |
| − | + | Würde er Deutschland nochmal besuchen, auch ohne dass die japanische Nationalmannschaft hier spielt? | |
| − | + | Gosho Aoyama ist von den deutschen Würsten so begeistert, dass er gerne wiederkommt. | |
| − | + | Welche Manga liest Gosho Aoyama? | |
| − | + | Er ist beispielsweise ein Fan von Vagabond. | |
| − | + | Welche Krimi-Autoren sind die größte Inspirationsquelle für Gosho Aoyama? | |
| − | + | Er ist ein großer Fan von Arthur Conan Doyle und Sherlock Holmes. | |
| − | + | In welchem Alter hat Gosho Aoyama mit dem Manga-Zeichnen angefangen? | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Bereits im Altern von etwa drei Jahren hat er gezeichnet, das war aber noch eher Gekrakel. | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | Im Internet geht das Gerücht um, Gosho Aoyama plane eine zweimonatige Pause. Stimmt das? | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | Nein, das stimmt nicht. Wenn jemand ihm so einen langen Urlaub anbieten würde, würde er ihn gerne nehmen, aber das tut leider niemand. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Interessiert sich Gosho Aoyama auch für europäische und US-Comics? | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Ja, zu seinen Favoriten gehören unter anderem Superman und Batman, aber auch die Arbeiten von Moebius. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Wie viele Menschen arbeiten an dem Manga? | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Gosho Aoyama arbeitet mit sechs Assistenten zusammen. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Würde Gosho Aoyama auch Leserbriefe aus Deutschland, geschrieben auf Japanisch, lesen und beantworten? Lesen würde er sie, aber anstelle einer individuellen Antwort gibt es eher eine Neujahrskarte. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Inwieweit ist Conan autobiographisch? | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Es gibt immer wieder Ereignisse aus Gosho Aoyamas Alltag, die sich im Manga wiederfinden. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Kann Gosho Aoyama sich einen Tag für Conan ohne Mord vorstellen? | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Eine solche Geschichte würde er gerne einmal schreiben. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Gibt es in Japan tatsächlich so viele Morde wie in Conan? | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Nein, Gott sei dank nicht. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Es heißt, die japanische Polizei habe einmal Conan in einer Anti-Drogen-Kampagne verwendet, stimmt das? Das stimmt. Die Kampagne richtete sich an Kinder. Viele Kinder schauen gerne Conan an und bekommen dann die Botschaft mit.</div> | |

| − | + | This interview was given on 22nd July 2006 during a press conference at "Comic-Salon" in Erlangen (Germany).<br>[TN: Actually, the interview was given on 17th June 2006.At this time, volume 54 was published in Japan, while there were 44 volumes obtainable in Germany. So the events in Japan were 10 volumes ahead in comparison to the German ones.Part of this interview was published in the German version of volume 50, but only a few of the questions/answers. I guess the other questions just weren't written down there for some reason, but were asked and answered during that convention.]<br> | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Q: How many volumes is Detective Conan going to have?<br>A: The amount of volumes is not certain yet.<br> | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Q: Does Gosho Aoyama already know, how the series is going to end?<br>A: He does already know what the last scene is going to be, but of course he won't reveal it yet. <br> | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Q: Will there be a happy end? <br>A: He won't reveal it, either.<br> | |
| − | |||
| − | |||

| − | Q: | + | Q: During one of the movies Sonoko got a different hairstyle (see movie 5). Is she also going to get this hairstyle in the manga version?<br>A: The movies and the manga version are completely separated from each other. So Sonoko will keep her old hairstyle in the manga version.<br> |

| − | Q: | + | Q: Does Gosho Aoyama plan to have children in the future?<br>A: For now, he does not.<br> |
| − | Q: | + | Q: How does Gosho Aoyama like Germany? Is Conan going to solve some case in Germany sometime?<br>A: Gosho Aoyama really thinks Germany is very beautiful. He especially likes the sausages.<br>There probably won't be a case for Conan in a foreign country since he wouldn't been able to get a passport.<br> |
| − | Q: | + | Q: But in one of the movies Conan has solved a case in London already (see movie 6).<br>A: He wasn't really in London. But maybe he will get a faked passport... (At that time Steffen Hautog interjects how nice it is that the German fans are traveling to Japan just to see the Conan movies as the movies weren't published yet in Germany at that time.)<br> |
| + | |||
| + | Q: Where do the ideas for the cases come from?<br>A: He has to answer this question a lot of times. He gets his inspiration from everyday life, for example from a toilet: <br> | ||
| + | If the lid is up, a man has used the toilet. If it's down, it was a woman. Such details can become part of the cases.<br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Q: In the manga version there often are little extra comics.<br>[TN: Not sure what they are referring to, here] Are they just little jokes or are the assistants using them to annoy their boss?<br>A: They are just little jokes.<br> | ||

| − | Q: | + | Q: Why did Gosho Aoyama put a detective in the body of an elementary school pupil?<br>A: Since the series primary audience are children, the protagonist should also be a child.<br> |
| − | Q: | + | Q: Why are almost all characters in the series blue-eyed, while blue-eyed people aren't very common in Japan in reality?<br>A: Blue is more colorful.<br> |
| − | Q: | + | Q: Does Gosho Aoyama want to continue Kaito Kid?<br>A: He wants to, but he has no time to do so at the moment. So the master thief is only going to appear occasionally <br> |
| + | in Detective Conan for now. In Japan a volume recently was published, which tells the story of the origin of Kid's name.<br> | ||
| − | Q: | + | Q: Is Conan going to find out who's Kid? Is Kid going to be captured, by Conan or police?<br>A: It's not certain for now.<br> |

| − | + | ―アニメ「名探偵コナン」が10周年を迎えましたが、振り返ってどうですか？<br> | |
| − | + | 「長いなぁと思いますけど、僕にとってはあっという間でしたね」 | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | ―スタート当時と違いはありますか？<br> | |
| − | + | 「（コナンの）等身が伸びていますね（笑）。やっぱり最初はかわいく３頭身くらいに描いていたんです。だんだん4等身に近くなってきましたね。実際の子供はもっと等身が長いですから」 | |
| − | + | ―アニメで印象に残るエピソードは？<br> | |
| + | 「『ピアノソナタ『月光』殺人事件』。漫画だと音は聴こえないじゃないですか。やっぱりアニメだと音が聴こえるのでいいなぁって感じですね。あとは佐藤刑事と高木刑事の爆弾事件のスペシャルとか…」 | ||
| − | + | ―アニメ化したいという話がきた時のお気持ちは？<br> | |
| + | 「コナンは推理モノですから、やっぱり会話劇になるじゃないですか。アニメーションっていうのは動いて、楽しいものじゃないと受けないというのがありまして、多分アニメ化されても受けないなと思いましたね。すぐ終わるなと思っていました（笑）」 | ||
| − | + | ―10年続くとは思っていなかった？<br> | |
| + | 「思っていなかったです。びっくりですね」 | ||
| + | ―コナンを描く上で大切にしていることは？<br> | ||
| + | 「アニメ化になる時、コナンを少年探偵団の（江戸川乱歩の作品の）小林少年ではなく、明智小五郎にしてくれとスタッフの皆さんに言ったんです。事件を全て上から見ている人物にしてくれと言いました」 | ||
| − | + | ―実際にアニメを見た感想は？<br> | |
| + | 「コナン君の声はウチの嫁さん（高山みなみ）なんですけど、アニメ化になったら『やってね』って言っていましたし、声はもうバッチリイメージは合っていますね（笑）」 | ||
| − | + | ―コナンを描く上で難しい点は？<br> | |
| + | 「難しいのは死体を描く時。あまりエグイとまずいですし、あまりちゃちいとまたそれはそれでつまらないですし、その辺のバランスが難しいですね。あまり子供向けにしちゃうと子供はやっぱり頭が良いですからね。本当に大人向けにいろいろな事を描いています」 | ||
| − | + | ―アニメの放送が原作に追いつく怖さは？<br> | |
| + | 「僕はないですね。アニメのスタッフにオリジナルを入れて頂けるので全く気にせず描いています」 | ||
| − | + | ―そのアニメオリジナルの作品を見た印象は？<br> | |
| − | + | 「漫画だと、コナン君は僕が知っている事とか、調べた事とか、誰かから聞いた事しか喋らないので、『ふぅ～ん』と思うんですけど、オリジナルは僕が知らない事を喋るので、『ほ～ぅ、お前結構頭が良いなぁ』『すごいなぁ、こんな事知っているんだ』って（笑）。そういうのはありますね」 | |
| − | + | ―アニメを考えながら原作を描くことは？<br> | |
| + | 「します、します。アクションのところですね。蘭の空手のシーンとか。アニメで動いた方がおもしろいですからね。サッカーを蹴るシーンとか。ほとんどアクションがありませんから」 | ||
| − | + | ―コナンが長い間、ファンに支持されている理由は？<br> | |
| + | 「そうですね、正直よくわかんないですけど、やっぱりみんなミステリーが好きっていうことと、あとはラブコメが好きなのかなぁと思います。小さくなっちゃって好きだと言えない男の子がいて…、みたいなのが受けているのかなぁ」 | ||
| − | + | ―先生にとってコナンとは？<br> | |
| + | 「日々の苦しみでもあり、楽しみでもある。楽しいですよ、描いていて。でも大変なんです（笑）」 | ||
| − | + | ―10年振り返って、どんな事が大変でしたか？<br> | |
| − | + | 「う～ん、やっぱりセリフが多いですから、話を作るのに時間がかかっちゃいますね。皆さん、読んでいて長いなと感じると思いますけど、あれは全部書いていますから（笑）。そこが大変ですよ。字ばっかりで埋め尽くされるページもありますからね」 | |
| − | + | ―他の作品と描く時間は違いますか？<br> | |
| − | < | + | 「大分違いますね。『YAIBA』の頃はうまくすると4日、5日で終わっていたんですよ。コナンは１週間か１週間ちょい過ぎますから。週刊なのに（笑）。やっぱり頭使っちゃって…」 |
| − | + | ―今後何年くらい続けたいという目標は？<br> | |
| − | + | 「もう10年という感じですから、考えていないですよ。オチは考えていますけど。オチを考えていないと伏線を張れませんからね」 | |

| − | + | ―来年４月公開の映画10弾「名探偵コナン・探偵たちの鎮魂歌」とこれまでの9作品の違いは？<br> | |
| + | 「違いですか…。そうですね、探偵がいっぱい出てきますね。（たくさんの探偵が描かれたポスターを見て）えっ、この人出てくるのっていうのもありますけど、結構出てきますね。１番は僕のもう１つの作品『まじっく快斗』の主人公の黒羽快斗とライバルというか、白馬探君が出てきます。平次とコナンと白馬君、スーパー高校生探偵3人が一緒になって活躍しますから」 | ||
| − | + | ―映画のストーリーは？<br> | |
| + | 「時間制限の中でいかに事件を解決して、いかに犯行を止めるか。人質がいっぱいとられて…。あまり言えないなぁ（笑）」 | ||
| − | + | ―最後に視聴者へメッセージを？<br> | |
| + | 「今回は映画10弾ということで10年の間に出てきた名探偵たちをほぼ全員出しました。ですから、コナンの集大成じゃないですけど、10年目のスペシャル版という事でお楽しみ下さい」</div> | ||

| − | + | Q: The animated version of “Detective Conan” is welcoming it’s 10 years anniversary. Looking back on these ten years, How do you feel?<br>Gosho: Even though that is a long time, to me… it feels like a blink of an eye. | |
| − | + | Q: Are there any differences between now and then?<br>Gosho: (Conan) grew taller. *laugh* In the beginning, I was drawing him at the cute size of three head sizes. Now I’m slowly drawing him at 4 head size, because kids in real life are taller now. | |
| − | + | Q: What’s your favorite moment in the anime?<br>Gosho: “The moonlight sonata case”. In the manga, there was no sound so it felt better with music in the anime. Other ones, are like the bomb case of Sato-san. | |
| − | + | Q: How’d you feel when they decided to make an anime?<br>Gosho: Conan is based on logical deduction, so I thought it was better to make it into a play. As an anime, if there’s no action, if it can’t make people happy, it wouldn’t be accepted. At the time I felt even if Conan was made into an anime, it won’t be accepted so… I thought it would be over very soon *laugh* | |
| − | + | Q: You never expected that it would last ten years?<br>Gosho: Never… I’m surprised myself. | |
| − | + | Q: What’s the most important thing to take note of when drawing Conan?<br>Gosho: When it was made into an anime, I told the artist not to draw Conan like the edogawa detective group’s Rin-san but draw him like Kogorou, a person who looks like he’s overseeing the whole case. | |
| − | + | Q: What do you feel when looking at the anime?<br>Gosho: Conan’s voice is my wife’s voice, but in the anime she’ll say “yatte ne” in a voice more fitting of her beautiful attitude *laugh* | |
| − | + | Q: What’s hardest to draw in Conan?<br>Gosho: The corpse, if you draw it too scary, too ugly, or too rough… people won’t find it interesting. It’s very hard to find the balance in this area… but still fit for kids to watch because kids are really smart these days. In truth, I’ve drawn a lot of content that’s just more fitting for adults. | |
| − | + | Q: Were you ever worried about the possibility that the anime might be more popular then the original work?<br>Gosho: I never worried about that before, I don’t mind the anime originals that the anime staff came up with. | |
| − | + | Q: What do you think of the anime original?<br>Gosho: Conan in the Manga says only stuff that I know, stuff that I researched, and stuff that I heard and sources like that. Anime Original is different, I’ve got no idea of the plotline. Sometimes I’ll let out a “Ho~o, you’re so smart!” or “Wow, you even know things like that” remarks. | |
| − | + | Q: Did you even think about drawing the anime and the manga at the same time?<br>Gosho: Of course, of course, especially when I’m drawing action scenes like Ran’s karate because if you see it in anime, it is very interesting. Like Conan’s kicking scenes. There wasn’t any sort of continuous action in the manga. | |
| − | + | Q: The reason Conan is so loved by fans over this long period of time?<br>Gosho: Yeah, to tell you the truth. I’m not really clear on it. I guess it’s because everybody likes to see detective shows and drama shows. The man who was shrunk and can not confess his love, everyone seems able to embrace this. | |
| − | + | Q: What does Conan mean to you?<br>Gosho: Painful days and happy days. I’m very happy when I’m drawing Conan, but at the same time… it is very tiresome *laugh* | |
| − | + | Q: What is the most tired period within these ten years?<br>Gosho: Well, because there are so many lines… it took a long time to produce it. If anybody feels that the lines are too long, that’s because I wrote it that long. *laugh* This is a really tiresome work. I have a few pages full of lines in tiny letters. | |
| − | + | Q: Compared to your other work, is the production time the same?<br>Gosho: It’s completely different. When I was drawing Yaiba, if I’m lucky, I can be done in 4 to 5 days. Conan needs at least 1 week or a bit more then 1 week. For a weekly published manga… I killed quite a bit of my brain cells. | |
| − | + | Q: How many more years do you set as your goal?<br>Gosho: Because I’ve been drawing it for 10 years, I haven’t thought of the future. Although I have already thought of the ending, because I can’t lay the clues if I don’t have the ending. | |
| − | + | Q: The 10th movie that’s going to premiere in April.. what’s the difference between it and the 9th film?<br>Gosho: It’s different, to say… there’s going to be a lot more detectives this time. (Did you see that poster with all the detectives) Yeah, even though this guy came out before, this time, he’s coming out at the same time. The other point worth mentioning is my other project “Magic Kaito”. The showdown between Kaitou and his nemesis Hakuba. Heiji, Conan and Hakuba. The joint appearance of the 3 high school detectives at the same time. | |
| − | + | Q: The story of the movie?<br>Gosho: Within limited time, can the case be solved? Can the criminal be captured? The criminal will have a lot of hostages… It’s not good if I say anymore *laugh* | |
| − | + | Q: Finally, do you have anything to say to the audience?<br>Gosho: This time it’s the 10th movie, so all the detectives who’ve shown up within these ten years should appear. So even though I can’t say fancy, it’s the 10 year special. Please look forward to it! | |

| − | + | '''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:''' 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! | ||

| + | "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> | ||

| + | 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. | |

| − | + | 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。 | |

| − | + | 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. Every time I return home, he asks for a sign]<br>I’m thinking about the last arc, but the fans won’t forgive me if I’ll end it now.<br>[I won’t betray your expectations]<br>His obedient son, Conan, will continue. | |
| − | + | Media mix spreading in the world.<br>According to publications investigation carried by Research Institute for Publications (Tokyo, Shinjuku), manga (tankoban) market extends via media mix, such as anime serialization, and had maintained a 250 billion yen scale among the severe publishing world (253.3 bln yen in 2006)<br>One of the leaders, [Meitantei Conan] became an anime series on NTV 11 years ago. In 15 days [Autumn’s Mystery Special] would be broadcasted in 6 episodes. 11th movie, [Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure] will be out in April and 12th movie’s production had been decided.<br> | |

| − | + | '''First, please tell the details on how the serializations began.'''<br> | |
| − | {{font color| | + | {{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| | + | {{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| | + | {{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| | + | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: You were already drawing Magic Kaito at the time, though, right?<br> |
| − | {{font color| | + | {{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| | + | {{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| | + | {{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| | + | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: And then you do it at a weekly pace, so it's too unreasonable.<br> |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: | + | {{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| | + | {{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| | + | {{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}}: | + | {{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}}: | + | {{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}}: But | + | {{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}}: | + | {{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}}: | + | {{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}}: | + | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: We don't use realistic names, do we?<br> |
| − | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: | + | {{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}}: | + | {{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| | + | {{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| | + | {{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| | + | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: I drew material about trains, but I never went . . .<br> |
| − | {{font color| | + | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: But traveling with the editor is dull, isn't it?<br> |
| − | {{font color| | + | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: That happens!<br> |
| − | {{font color| | + | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: What did we do at Kindaichi's time?<br> |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: | + | {{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| | + | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: (laughs)<br> |
| − | |||
| − | + | '''Snowy places appear often in Kindaichi. What is the reason?'''<br> | |
| − | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: | + | {{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| | + | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: At the time? (laughs)<br> |
| − | {{font color| | + | {{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| | + | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: No, not at all!<br> |
| − | {{font color| | + | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: (laughs)<br> |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | '''What do you think is the appeal of mystery manga?'''<br> | |

| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | <br> | ||
| − | + | {{font color|darkorange|Sato}}: In the end, if there is a mystery, one must solve it.<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|blue|Aoyama}}: | ||
| − | |||
| − | |||

| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: | ||
| − | |||
| − | + | {{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|red| | ||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | <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| | + | {{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| | + | {{font color|red|Amagi}}: If Aoyama-sensei does it, we can work hard, too.<br> |
| − | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: | + | |
| − | + | {{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。 | |
| − | + | 青山：ありがとうございます。僕も頑張ります！</div> | |

| − | + | {{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|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. In this case, the voice actor is more or less decided (laughs).<br> | |

| + | '''Published in:''' Masters of Manga | ||
| + | <spoiler> | ||
| + | '''Text submitted by:''' Chekhov<br> | ||
| − | + | 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. | |

| − | + | 青山剛昌インタビュー<br> | |
| + | 四半世紀に亘り、少年漫画を描き続けてきた青山剛昌。’８６年の漫画家デビューから「マジック快斗」、「YAIBA」、そして「名探偵コナン」の今とこれからを語る。<br> | ||
| + | １９６３年、鳥取県生まれ。’８６年、「ちょっとまってて」でデビュー。「YAIBA」,「名探偵コナン」はそれぞれ小学館漫画賞の？？部門と少年部門を受賞。<br> | ||
| − | + | Q：先生は小さな頃、どんな少年だったのでしょうか？<br> | |
| + | A：少年探偵団みたいに友達と探偵遊びをよくしました。僕はコナンというより、光彦タイプ。調達や場所探しをするポジションで、実家の自動車整備工場の廃車置場を秘密基地にしていました。 | ||
| − | + | Q：その頃から漫画は好きでしたか？<br> | |
| + | A：そうですね。ニャロメの絵ばかり描いてました。初めて買った漫画は、大好きなちばてつや先生の「おれは鉄平」(should be 鉄兵, seems that the magazine has a misprint)。鉄平が好きで剣道部に入りましたね。でも、親が「漫画なんて読んでも、ロクな人間にならない」という考えの厳しい人で、中学高校時代はこっそり隠れて読んでました。 | ||
| − | + | Q：漫画家への道を歩み始めたのは？<br> | |
| + | A：親に反対されていたので、高校の頃には漫画家の夢は諦めかけていました。そのかわり、絵の先生になろうと思って日大芸術学部に入学したんです。するとそこには、田舎の高校にはなかった漫研が（笑）。そこのOBに漫画家の阿部ゆたかさん（「くまちゃんのクリスマス」、「名探偵コナン特別編」ほか）がいたんです。阿部さんの仕事場にアシスタントに行って、「お前本格的に漫画描いてみないか？」と言われたのがきっかけです。 | ||
| − | + | Q：ちなみに大学の専攻は？<br> | |
| + | A：美術学科の絵描コースです。「コナン」の巻末の名探偵図鑑はタッチが違うでしょ？今でも描けるんですよ。当時は絵を描くバイトもしていました。フジテレビの「ポンキッキ」の背景や、東京ディズニーランドの、”カリブの海賊”の背景も描きました。海賊が町を荒らしているバックのレンガ。命縄をつけられて、一枚の写真を渡されてこのとうりに描けって。給料も良かったのでがんばりました（笑）。その絵はもうないですけど。教職も取りましたよ。地元の高校に、美術の教育実習に行って。親も僕は先生になると思っていたので、突然、漫画家になると言ったら案の定反対されましたね。親父からは「わしの友達には、今にも動き出しそうなカニを描けるやつがいる。でもそいつは全然食えてない。それでもお前は漫画家になるのか？」って（笑）。でも、「もう大人だから勝手にやる」と宣言して、出版社に作品を持ち込んでみたんです。 | ||
| − | + | Q：最初は週刊少年マガジンに持ち込まれたんですよね。<br> | |
| + | A：はい、マガジンでは「さりげなくルパン」（「マジック快斗」の原型）で佳作を獲りました。でも、後にマガジンの編集長になった野内さんに「君の絵はマガジンに向いていない」と言われ、今度は週刊少年サンデーへ。そこで描いた投稿3作目の「ちょっとまってて」（SFラブコメ）が、’86年の小学館新人コミック大賞の入選を受賞。デビューへこぎ着けました。 | ||
| − | + | Q：翌年には初連載作「まじっく快斗」がスタート。順調ですね。<br> | |
| − | + | A：大学の同級生や後輩にアシスタントをしてもらっているんですが、初めて原稿料をいただいたときにみんなで寿司屋に行ってお祝いしました。自分をプロとして実感できたのは単行本の1巻が出たとき。うれしくっておまけ漫画をつけたりして、めちゃめちゃ？りました。そんな初連載作が今も続いていますからね（笑）。もうライフワークです。また夏ごろに新作を描きますよ。快斗の母・怪盗淑女（ファントム・レディ）の話・・・になる予定。でも、最初は編集さんにけちょんけちょんに言われたんです。トリックやラブコメの部分が大人や女の子にはウケるけど、少年にはウケないと。「ニャロー！」と思って描いたのが、「YAIBA」。でも、今度は少年にしかウケなかった（笑）。 | |
| − | + | Q：「YAIBA」の思い出を是非。<br> | |
| − | + | A：当時は初めての週刊連載でなりふり構わずやってましたからね。無我夢中ですよ。刀の雷神剣の中にいろんな玉を入れて強くなっていくというのは、RPGのアイテムを集めて強くなるイメージで描いていたので、そこがウケてもらえて良かったです。でも、逆に子供っぽくしすぎちゃって失敗したとも思いますね。終盤のヤマタノオロチ編は気に入ってます。うまく描けたなと思うんですが、オロチ編はアニメになっていない（笑）。今のクオリティでアニメ化してほしいですね。 | |

| − | + | Q：「YAIBA」の次はついに「名探偵コナン」ですが、どんな雰囲気をイメージして作られたんでしょうか？<br> | |
| − | + | A：「三毛猫ホームズ」です。猫がわかるわけないのに、証拠品に触ったりして事件が解決していく。コナンも一緒。子供がわかるわけないのに、「あれれ～？」とか言って。コナンは三毛猫ホームズが喋っているイメージです。 | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | Q：最初はどのくらい続く予定で？<br> | |
| + | A：こんなに長い連載になるとは思ってなかったですよ。最初の1巻で終わるかなと。コナンっていう名前も、編集長からアニメの「未来少年コナン」（宮崎駿監督作品）があるから、「名探偵ドイル」にしろって言われたんですが、「『未来少年』を超えてやるから！」って通しました。なのに新連載の告知記事のタイトルが「探偵少年コナン」になってて、いやいや、それはまずいだろうと（笑）。でも、10年くらい前にジブリの方に「今、コナンと言えば命探偵のほうですよね」と言われまして、「やった！」と思いましたね。 | ||
| − | + | Q：「コナン」の好きなエピソードベスト5を教えてください。<br> | |
| + | A：一番は「揺れる警視庁1200万人の人質」（本記事＃28）です。読者人気も一番ですね。あとはなんだろう？アニメで2時間半スペシャルだった「黒の組織と真っ向勝負満月の夜の二元ミステリー」（本記事＃35）かな。平次が初登場する「外交官殺人事件」（本記事＃10）は、新一の「そいつはちがうな・・・」って言う見開きのシーンが、演出的にうまくいったかなと思います。「真実はいつも・・・たった一つしかねーんだからな・・・」って台詞もお気に入り。アニメの台詞で「真実はいつもひとつ！」ってあるじゃないですか。あれはアニメの脚本者が書いたんですが、僕が書いたのと同時期だったんです。偶然一緒で驚きました。「なぞめいた乗客」（本記事＃24）も好きかな。コナンの「逃げるなよ灰原・・・自分の運命から・・・逃げるんじゃねーぞ・・・」って台詞が印象に残ってます。新一は台詞に気を使いますね。あと、最初の「ホームズの黙示録」（本記事＃50）。コナンの憧れの地でしたから力が入りました。現場取材もして。 | ||
| − | + | Q：’03年のインタビューでは、次はロンドン編と仰られていましたね。<br> | |
| − | + | A：そうか、だいぶ時間かかったね。描いてみてやっぱり英語に苦労しました。ウィンブルドンを舞台するのは最初から決めていて、ミネルバ・グラスはテニス選手のシュテフィ・グラスがモデルです。コナンが観客席からグラスに「ボクが助けてあげるよ！！」って言うシーンがありますが、あれは’96年のウィンブルドンのエピソードを基にしてます。グラフと伊達公子準決勝、流れを変えるためだかでファンが「シュテフィ！僕と結婚して！」って言ったんです。それに、グラフは「お金いくら持ってるの？」ってジョークで返したんですよ（笑）。 | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | Q：ロンドン取材はいかがでしたか？<br> | |
| − | + | A：作中に登場する場所は取材に行って撮ったところばかりです。コナンが新一に戻った電話ボックスも、ビッグ・ベンの橋を渡った先にあります。”恐怖の谷”と漫画で描いた排水溝もちゃんとありますよ。泊まったホテルもそのまま。行けなかったところはグーグルマップで調べました。あ、じゃあ取材しなくても描けたかも？（笑） | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | Q：エピソードのラスト（72巻収録6月発売予定）には新一と蘭の念願のシーンがありましたね。<br> | |
| + | A：あれは反撃？が大きかったですね。恋愛に苦手なホームズに絡めようと思ったり、「厄介な難事件」ってう台詞も前から決めていて。計算通りです。 | ||
| − | + | Q：ラブコメと組織の戦い、それぞれのエピソードを描くタイミングには、ルールや周期があるのでしょうか？<br> | |
| + | A：そろそろかなって言う勘ですね（笑）。ファンレターが結構影響あるかもしれない。「新一と蘭の子供時代が読みたいです！」、「そろそろ組織編描いてください！」とか。組織は読者からの期待も高いです。ただ、普通のフィールドとちがって、ハードボイルドに描かなければならないのでなかなか大変。でもハードボイルドは好きです。 | ||
| − | + | Q：描いて楽しいキャラは？<br> | |
| − | + | A：灰原かな。初登場時から人気もありますね。自分が思ったとおりのことをやってくれて、言いたいことを代弁してくれるキャラです。公式HPの”コナン通信社”で僕のコメントを灰原に言わせてるのも、そんな理由です。 | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Q：読者人気の高いキャラは？<br> | |
| + | A：今は最近登場した世良真純。どうやらぶっちぎりらしいです。名前もまあ、わかる人にはわかっちゃうんだけどね。こんなに「ガンダム」でいいのかなって（笑）。ある大物キャラの妹のかも・・・（笑）。アニメの声優さんも今から楽しみです。 | ||
| − | + | Q：高木刑事と佐藤刑事の恋愛も、今後の動向が気になります。<br> | |
| + | A：高木と佐藤は結婚式も描く予定です。本当は去年の映画のときに怪盗キッドと絡めて結婚しきしてやろうと思ってたんですが、映画でやっちゃうと、原作でできなくなるのでとめました。 | ||
| − | + | Q：「コナン」は学年読の漫画・アニメ・映画・実写ドラマと、メディアミックスも幅広く展開されています。どんな形でプロデュースを？<br> | |
| − | + | A：主に映画の脚本と原画に携わっています。ほかのメディアはだいたいお任せにしてますね。 | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Q：最新映画「名探偵コナン沈黙の15分（クォーター）」には、どう関わられたんでしょうか？<br> | |
| + | A：15という数字をテーマにしたことに関しては、映画15周年ということで僕とスタッフの総意です。舞台の雪山は僕から提案しました。雪崩に埋まって、助かるまでのリミットが15分だったのでちょうどいいかなと。 | ||
| − | + | Q：今作の見どころは？<br> | |
| + | A：最初のトンネルのスケボーシーンですね。あれかっこよかったでしょ？あと、僕が原画を描いた「言葉は刃物。使い方を間違えると、凶器になる。」ってコナンが言うシーン。原作でも一回使った台詞で気に入ってます。雪崩に飲み込まれるシーンの、コナンと蘭がすれ違うときに現れる新一の願も僕が原画を担当しました。 | ||
| − | + | Q：歴代の映画版で先生のオススメは？<br> | |
| − | + | A：5作目の「天国へのカウントダウン」ですね。いろんなことがうまく歯み合った自信作です。僕の弟もこれが一番好きだといっていました。弟は医者でアニメオタクなんですよ（笑）。よく相談に乗ってもらっています。死亡推定時期とか、死亡要因とかね。まさに生きる医学書、超便利！声優にも詳しいので、「灰原役の声優さんは林原さんがいいぞ！」って電話が来たり。「あれじゃ人気にあぐらかいてる」なんてダメだしされたりもします（笑）。 | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Q：「コナン」は連載開始から17年、既刊71巻の長編となりましたが、長期連載を続けるコツはありますか？<br> | |
| − | + | A：ないですね。逆に、新しい事件を描くときはいつもこれが最後という気持ちでかかります。でも進んでるうちに次の話が始まるという。 | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Q：長期連載で辛いと感じたことは？<br> | |
| − | + | A：昔書いた伏線を忘れてしまうところ（笑）。ベルモットの伏線を明かした時はすごく大変でした（本記事＃35）。あれもこれも入れなきゃみたいな感じで。前に複線をすべてメモした紙をアニメのスタッフに渡したんだけど、返してほしい（笑）。それを見れば、”あの方”の正体がわかるかも？ | |
| − | + | Q：’08年の本誌インタビューで、次の山場はバーボンと仰っていましたね。<br> | |
| − | + | A：バーボン編はまだ続きますよ。それとは別の山場に世良と灰原の対決を考えてあります。これは見事ですよ。どちらも”オオカミ”ですからね（笑）。 | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Q：楽しみです！内容は決まっていると仰っていた最後回はいつごろに？<br> | |
| − | + | A：それはわからないですね。でも「こち亀」の巻数は越えないと思います（笑）。台詞はもう決まってます。ラストはハッピーエンドですよ。だって僕の作品なんだからね。 | |
| − | + | Q：20年以上週刊連載をされていますが、1週間どんなサイクルで描かれていらっしゃるのでしょうか？<br> | |
| + | A：ネームに2日半～3日、画に4日～4日半くらい。1週間使い切ってる（笑）。トリック考える時間ないですよ。だから、どんどんずれていっちゃって。たまに休載させていただいてるんですが、全然休んでいないんです。だって、原作に加え映画の打ち合わせして原画も描いてるんだもん（笑）。だから、締め切りギリギリになっても、誰も文句言わないんです。原稿落としたことは1回もないですよ。1回落とすと、ずっと落としちゃいそうで。 | ||
| − | + | Q：休暇が取れたらやりたいことは？<br> | |
| − | + | A：ねる。ひたすら寝る。ちょっと起きて、映画見て、また寝る（笑）。それが夢の生活ですね。あとはホテル住まいをしてみたいなぁ・・・。 | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Q：ご実家に帰られることは？<br> | |
| − | + | A：毎年正月だけ帰ってます。色紙を持って、サインしてくれってファンがきてくれるから。さらに、親が1年間溜めたサイン色紙を持ってきます（笑）。コピーしたやつを200枚と普通の色紙が20枚くらい。でもまあ、田舎に帰ると何もないから、絵が描きたくなってきます。 | |
| − | + | Q：やはりお仕事がお好きなんですね。<br> | |
| − | + | A：そうなのかな？そういえば観るドラマも刑事者とかばかりですね。最近はテレビの新番組を全部録画して、ミステリーや刑事もの以外は全部削除しています。下書き中に流しています。会話劇なら、作業中でも内容がわかりますからね。最近では「SPEC」を観ました。超能力者が出てくるのに、ちゃんとミステリーを成立させている。終盤で、当麻（戸田恵梨香）が一（神木隆之介）との頭脳戦に勝って「あたしの勝ちだ！」って言ったところがかっこよかった！戸田さんが10代だったら、実写「コナン」の蘭役をやってもらいたかったですね（笑）。 | |
| − | + | Q：今年の元旦には「泥棒」に鑑識役で出演されましたね。<br> | |
| − | + | A：水谷豊さんとも相談させていただいて、念願叶いました。すごくいい人で、右京さんそのものでした。 | |
| − | + | Q：ドラマの脚本などに興味は？<br> | |
| + | A：隠居したらやってもいいかも。でも、僕は絵を描かなくちゃだめっていわれるんじゃない？（笑） | ||
| − | + | Q：先生が漫画を描く上で大事なさっていることは？<br> | |
| − | + | A：男の子はかっこよく、女の子は可愛くですね。最近は蘭や世良などの女の子もかっこよくなってきちゃいましたけどね（笑）。 | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Q：今年で画業25周年を迎えられましたが、どんな四半世紀でしたか？<br> | |
| + | A：半分くらい「コナン」ですからね。人生返せって感じですよ（笑）。始めたときは29歳だったのに。あっという間でした。自分の中では4年くらいしか経っていない感覚です。 | ||
| − | + | Q：何歳まで現役でいたいですか？<br> | |
| + | A：まあできる限り。阿笠博士の年（53歳）までには隠居したいな、とも思いますけど、隠居したらまた漫画描きたくなるんじゃないかって。最初からずっと一緒にやってるアシスタントたちも年を取ってますから大変です。でもチャップリンみたいに「代表作は次回作」って言っときます！ | ||
| − | + | Q：次回作といえば、’08年の本誌インタビューで仰られていた「西遊記」はいかがでしょうか？<br> | |
| + | A：「西遊記」は描きたい！悟空のキャラデザインはできていて、読みきりをサンデーに乗せる予定はあったんですが、昔の中国の背景を描くのが大変だからもう無理かな。たぶん描かないから言いますけど、超面白いですよ（笑）。 | ||
| − | + | Q：描いてください！！では、読者に向けてメッセージをお願いします。<br> | |
| + | A：長い間、青山剛昌ワールドに付き合ってくれてありがとうございます。そしてこれからもよろしく。「さぁ、次の事件です」ってね（笑）。 | ||

| − | + | Aoyama Gosho Interview<br> | |
| − | + | Aoyama Gosho has continued drawing shounen manga for a quarter of a century. Debuted as a manga artist in '86, he will discuss Magic Kaito, YAIBA, Detective Conan, and future plans. | |
| − | + | Profile<br> | |
| + | Born in Tottori prefecture in 1963. Debuted in '86 with Wait a Minute. YAIBA and Detective Conan won Shougakukan Manga Award in Youth (I got this from the Chinese translation, I can't read the Japanese 'cause it's so fuzzy) and Shounen Divisions, respectively.<br> | ||
| − | |||
| − | + | Q: What kind of boy was sensei like during childhood?<br>A:Like the Detective Boys, I played detective with friends. I was more of a Mitsuhiko-type than a Conan-type. I was in a position to search provisions and places, with my family's car maintenance factory's scrap yard as the secret base. | |
| − | + | Q: Did you like manga from that time?<br>A: Yes. I kept drawing pictures of Nyarome. The first manga I bought was my favorite artist, Chiba Tetsuya sensei's I am Teppei. I entered the kendo club because I liked Teppei so much. But, my parents held harsh beliefs like “Those who read manga don't become a worthy human being,” so I read secretly during my middle and high school years. | |
| − | + | Q: When did you start walking down the path of a manga artist?<br>A: I was opposed by my parents, so I almost gave up my dream of becoming a manga artist during high school. Instead, I entered Nihon University College of Art to become an art teacher. There, manga research (?) existed, which didn't exist in my countryside high school (laughs). An alumni manga artist, Abu Yukata-san (Bear-chan's Christmas, Detective Conan Special Edition, etc.) was there. I went to be an assistant at Abu-san's work place, and he said, “Do you want to draw manga for real”? That's where it started. | |
| − | + | Q: Just wondering, what was your major at your university?<br>A: The Fine Arts Department's artist course. The touch in Conan's end-of-the-volume Illustrated Guide to Famous Detective is different, isn't it? I can still draw. I also used to draw for part time jobs. I drew the background for Fuji TV's Ponkikki, and for Tokyo Disneyland's Pirates of the Carribean*. I drew on the brick wall behind the town that the pirates are vandalizing (I think . . . I'm not completely sure). I was put on a life line, and they gave me a picture and told me to draw just like it. The pay was good, so I did my best (laughs). That picture doesn't exist anymore, though. I also took up a teaching job. At my hometown's high school, I even went to art education training. My parents thought I was going to become a teacher, so when I suddenly said I was going to be a manga artist, they stubbornly opposed me like I expected. My old man said, “I had a friend who can draw a crab that looks like it's about to start moving. But that person can't eat, at all. Do you still want to be a manga artist?” (laughs) Still, [he? I?] declared “[I'm? You're?] an adult already, do whatever [I? you?] like,” and I brought in a work to a publisher.<br> | |
| + | [T/N: I know the timeline doesn't make sense, but I typed in カリブの海賊 into Google and that's what I got. :\ ] | ||
| − | + | Q: You first submitted to Weekly Shonen Magazine, right?<br>A: Yes, I performed well with Nonchalantly Lupin (Magic Kaito's prototype) at Magazine. However, Nouchi-san, who later became Magazine's head editor, told me, “Your art doesn't suit Magazine,” so I headed for Weekly Shonen Sunday next. There, I won Shougakukan Newcomer Comic Award with my third contributed work Wait a Minute (SF love comedy) in '86. I finally managed to debut. | |
| − | + | Q: Magic Kaito, your first serial work, started the following year. Things are going favorably.<br>A: Though my university classmates and lowerclassmen were assisting me, when contribution fees were paid for the first time, we all went to a sushi restaurant to celebrate. I felt like a pro when the first volume came out. I was so happy, I added extra manga. That first serial work still continues, even now (laughs). It's a life work now. I'm going to put out a new work in the summer. It'll be about Kaito's mother, Phantom Lady . . . or it's planned to be. Although, editor[s] really complained to me at first. The parts about tricks and love comedy is popular with adults and girls, but not with boys, [they/he/she] said. With Yaiba, I thought “you” while drawing it. But this time, only boys liked it (laughs). | |
| − | + | Q: Please, tell us memories of YAIBA.<br>A: At the time, it was the first weekly series so I did stuff without care. I was completely absorbed in it. The idea of putting in jewels into the sword Raijinken (Sword of Thunder God) to make it stronger came from RPG, with the image of collecting items to become stronger – I'm glad that part was received well. Although, I think I failed because the work became too childish, in contrast [to Magic Kaito]. I like the final stage, the Yamatanoorochi (a Japanese mythical monster with eight heads and eight tails) arc. I thought I drew well, but the arc hasn't been animated (laughs). I wish that it will be animated, with current quality. | |
| − | + | Q: After YAIBA is finally Detective Conan, what atmosphere did you imagine to make it?<br>A: Calico Cat Holmes. Though a cat shouldn't understand, it touches around evidence and such and the case gets solved. Same thing with Conan. Though a child shouldn't understand, he says things like “arere~?” I imagine Conan to be Calico Cat Holmes talking. | |
| − | + | Q: How long did you plan on continuing it at first?<br>A: I never thought the serialization would be so long. I thought it would end with the first volume. The head editor said that since there is the anime, Future Boy Conan (directed by Miyazaki Hayao), I should change the title to “Detective Doyle,” but I persuaded him/her by saying, “I'll surpass Future Boy Conan!” But the new serialization notification article listed the title as “Detective Boy Conan”, and I thought, that's not good (laughs). However, about ten years ago, a person from Studio Ghibli told me, “Conan means the detective now, doesn't it?” and I thought, “Yes!” | |
| − | + | Q: Tell me your Top 5 episodes.<br>A: #1 would be “Shaken Police Headquarters: 12 Million Hostages” (FILE 369-373). What else? I guess “Head to Head with the Black Organization: Full Moon Night's Dual Mystery” (FILE 429-434), which ran as a two-and-a-half-hour special in the anime. Ïn “The Case of the Murdered Diplomat” (FILE 92-96), where Heiji first makes an appearance, I liked Shinichi's eye-opening scene, where he said, “That's not right . . .” - I thought it went well, performance-wise. I also like the line, “There is . . . only one truth . . . don't you see?” In the anime, they say, “One truth remains!”, right? The anime's writer came up with this line, but I also came up with this line at the same time. I was surprised by the coincidence. “The Mysterious Passenger” (FILE 287-289) is a favorite, too. Conan's “Don't run away, Haibara . . . Don't run away . . . from your own destiny . . .” remains impressed in my memory. Shinichi picks his lines carefully, doesn't he? I'd also like to add “Following Holmes” (FILE 743-752). Since it was Conan's admired place, I put in some effort. I did some site research for it, too. | |
| − | + | Q: You said that the next arc would be the London arc in the '03 interview, didn't you?<br>A: Wow, some time has passed since then, hasn't it? I tried drawing it, and I definitely struggled with the English. I decided from the beginning to feature Wimbledon, and I modeled Minerva Glass with the tennis player, Steffi Graf. The scene where conan says “I'll help you out!!” to Glass from the audience is based on an episode in Wimbledon in '96. During the semifinal between Graf and Date Kimiko, a fan said “Steffi, will you marry me?”, maybe to change the flow [of the game]. Then, Graf replied jokingly, “How much money do you have?” (laughs) | |
| − | + | Q: How was the research in London?<br>A: The places that show up in the manga mostly consist of places I took pictures of during the research. The telephone box where Conan turned back to Shinichi really was at the end of crossing the Big Ben bridge. The gutter with “Valley of Fear” written across the top in the manga exists, too. I drew the hotel I stayed at as it was. For places I couldn't go, I investigated with Google Map. Maybe I could have drawn without the site research? (laughs) | |
| − | + | Q: The end of that arc (Volume 72 planned to be sold in June) contained the much-awaited-for scene between Shinichi and Ran, didn't it?<br>A: The reaction was huge for that scene. I thought about tying in the fact that Holmes is weak in romance, and the “A bothersome, difficult case” line was decided before. Things went as planned. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Q: Is there a rule or a cycle behind deciding the timing for love-comedy and Black Organization episodes?<br>A: I decide when I feel it's time (laughs). Maybe fan letters have a pretty significant influence. I get stuff like “I want to read about Shinichi and Ran's childhood!” or “Please draw the BO arc soon!” The readers expectations for the BO arc is high. It's just, unlike normal fields, I have to draw hard core so it's quite a lot of work. But I like hard core things. | |

| − | + | Q: Which character is fun to draw?<br>A: Haibara, perhaps. She's popular since her appearance, isn't she? She does exactly what I want her to do, and I can say what I want to say though her. This is pretty much the reason why I have Haibara say my comments at the official homepage, Conan News Agency. | |
| − | + | Q: Which character is popular among the readers?<br>A: Sera Masumi, the new character. It seems that she's winning by an landslide. The name seems to be understood by people who understands. Is it good to have so much Gundam? (laughs) Maybe she's the sister of a major character . . . (laughs). I'm excited to see who the voice actor will be. | |
| − | + | Q: I also wonder about the direction of Detective Takagi and Detective Satou's romance.<br>A: I plan on drawing Takagi and Satou's marriage ceremony. The thing is, during last year's movie, I thought about getting them married with a Kid plot involved, but if it's done in a movie, then I can't do it in the manga, so I decided against the idea. | |
| − | + | Q: Conan has expanded broadly into student-read manga, anime, movies, live action drama, and media franchise. How do you produce them?<br>A: I'm mainly involved in the movie script and the original pictures. I entrust the other media in others. | |
| − | + | Q: How were you involved in the newest movie, Detective Conan: Quarter of Silence?<br>A: About making the number '15' the theme, this was a consensus among the staff and myself to celebrate the 15th year of films. Having the stage be set on a snowy mountain was my idea. I thought that getting buried in an avalanche with a rescue time limit of 15 minutes would be just right. | |
| − | + | Q: What are the scenes to watch for in this film?<br>A: The skateboard in a tunnel scene at the beginning. Wasn't it cool? Also, the scene where Conan says, “Words are knives. When used wrong, they become weapons.” (I drew the original picture for this). I also used this line in the manga once, I like it. I also was in charge of the original picture of the scene where Shinichi's prayer(?) appears when Conan and Ran miss each other in the avalanche. | |
| − | + | Q: What is your recommended film so far?<br>A: The fifth film, Countdown to Heaven. Many things fit just right in that work, I'm proud of it. My little brother says he also likes this film the best. My little brother is a medical doctor who's also an anime otaku (laughs). I often consults with him. About the estimated time of death, the cause of death and such. A living medical book, super convenient! He's also knows about voice actors very well, so he calls and says things like, “Hayashibara-san would be great as Haibara's voice actor!” He also points out my faults, like “You're getting conceited with popularity” (laughs). | |
| − | + | Q: Conan has become a long series that has continued for 17 years since the beginning of serialization, with 71 volumes published – any tips on continuing a long serialization?<br>A: No tips. On the contrary, when I draw a new case, I always draw with the feeling that this will be the last. Though when advancing forward the next story begins. | |
| − | + | Q: What felt tough from the long serialization?<br>A: When I forget about the foreshadows I wrote a long time ago (laughs). It was a lot of work when I clarified Vermouth's foreshadows. I felt like I needed to include everything. I noted down all the foreshadows on a paper before and I handed it to the anime staff – I wish they'd return it (laughs). Maybe anokata's identity will be understood if the paper is seen? | |
| − | + | Q: In the '08 interview with this magazine, you said that the next arc will be about Bourbon.<br>A: The Bourbon arc is still continuing. Aside from that arc, I've thought about a confrontation between Sera and Haibara. This will be spectacular. Both of them are “wolves,” after all (laughs). | |
| − | + | Q: I'm excited to see it! When do you think you can write the last episode that you said you decided the contents of?<br>A: I don't know. But I don't think I'll exceed KochiKame in volume number (laughs). I've already decided the lines. The ending will be a happy one. This is my work, after all. | |
| − | + | Q: You've done weekly serializations for 20 years, what does the one week cycle look like?<br>A: Two and a half to three days on the pre-manuscript, four to four and a half days on the drawing. The week is used up (laughs). I don't have the time to think of tricks. That's why things keep getting off. They let me take a break from time to time, but I don't rest at all. Because, on top of the manga, I have to make arrangements with the movie staff to draw the original pictures (laughs). That's why, when I turn in things at the last minute, no one complains. I've never failed to turn in my work, not once. I feel like I'll stop turning in work if I fail once. | |
| − | + | Q: What do you want to do if you managed to take a break?<br>A: Sleep. Do nothing but sleep. Wake up a little, watch a movie, sleep again ( laughs). That would be my ideal life. Hotel living sounds nice, too . . . | |
| − | + | Q: Do you return home?<br>A: Just on New Years every year. Since there are fans who bring shikishi's (in Japan, fans get signatures on papers called shikishi) and ask for signatures. On top of that, my parents save up one year's worth of shikishi's (laughs). Two hundred of them are copies, about twenty are the normal shikishi's. Still, when I return to the country nothing happens, so I start wanting to draw pictures. | |
| − | + | Q: As I thought, you like to work, don't you?<br>A: You think? Now that I think about it, the dramas that I watch are all about police detectives. These days, all the new shows are recorded, and shows that aren't mysteries or about police detectives are eliminated. I play them when drafting. With dramas, you can understand the contents even while working. Recently, I've watched SPEC. Even though ESP people appear, the mystery is set up properly. In the last episode, I thought that when Touma (Toda Erika) said “I won!” (when she won the intellect battle against Ninomae (Kamiki Ryuunosuke)), she was really cool. If Toda-san was in her teens, I would have liked her to play Ran in the live action Conan drama (laughs). | |
| − | + | Q: You've played the role of a police crime lab staff in Thief during this year's New Years.<br>A: I was also kindly allowed to consult with Mizutani Yutaka-san, my wish came true. He was a truly good person, he was just like Ukyou-san! | |
| − | + | Q: Do you have an interest in scripts for dramas?<br>A: After I retire, maybe. But I think I'll be told that I should draw instead (laughs). | |
| − | + | Q: When sensei draws manga, what do you value?<br>A: To draw cool boys and cute girls. Though Ran and Sera and such girls are becoming cooler these days (laughs). | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | Q: This year marks the 25th anniversary of your job; how would you describe this past quarter century?<br>A: Half of it was Conan. I feel like I want to demand my life back (laughs). I was 29 when I started. Time passed by, really fast. I feel like it's only been four years. | |
| − | |||
| − | < | ||
| − | |||
| − | + | Q: Until what age do you want to stay active?<br>A: As long as I can. I want to retire when I reach Agasa's age (53), I think, but once I retire I think I'll start wanting to draw manga again. The assistants who've been with me since the beginning are aging, too – there's a lot of trouble. But, just like Chaplin, I'll keep saying “My best work is my next work”! | |
| − | + | Q: Speaking of your next work, what about the Journey to the West that you mentioned in your interview with this mazagine in '08?<br>A: I want to draw Journey to the West! I've finished the character design for Goku, and there was a plan to publish a one-shot on Sunday, but drawing ancient Chinese backgrounds is quite troublesome so maybe not. I'll say this since I don't think I'll keep drawing, but it's quite interesting (laughs). | |
| − | + | Q: Please do draw! Finally, please leave a message for the readers.<br>A: Thank you kindly for putting up with Aoyama Gosho's world for a long time. And I hope we'll get along in the future. “Let's get to the next case!” (laughs) | |

| − | + | Anyways, here's what [I found] through searching | |
| − | + | There was a Q&A session with the attendants, | |
| + | and [Gosho] answered, "Professor Agasa isn't the BO boss" | ||
| − | + | Why 'バーロー (bah-loh)'? (Note: You usually say 'baka', but Gosho likes to say 'bah-loh') | |
| + | Because Touch and other works by Adachi Mitsuru said 'bah-loh' | ||
| − | + | Talks about how popular Sera Masumi is during lecture | |
| − | + | Was enjoying あの日見た花の名前を僕達はまだ知らない。( https://www.anohana.jp/ ) (We still don't know the name of the flower we saw that day) | |
| + | Enjoyed the last episode then came to lecture | ||
| + | [He] looks forward to watching 花咲くいろは ( https://www.hanasakuiroha.jp/ ) (Blossoming Iroha) ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iroha ) | ||
| − | + | --------------- | |
| − | + | Hmm, you're right, I need better sources - *googles, since apparently that's what the 2chan guy did to get all this info* | |
| + | It seems true that Gosho really did give a lecture at his former university (Nihon University College of Art) (Original link redirects to homepage: http://www.art.nihon-u.ac.jp/ ), according to the university's website. This page talks about the Nichigei Award for Excellence, which Gosho apparently received this year - the website mentions that the award ceremony was moved from March 11th to April 8th due to the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, so the ceremony happened this year. This website also mentions that the university plans on having the two winners (one of whom is Gosho) give a lecture later. (授賞式は、3月11日の東日本大震災から間もない4月8日、芸術学部新入生歓迎式プログラムとして江古田キャンパスの大ホールで行われ、ご出席いただいた林真理子氏からは、壇上から受賞の喜びとともに励ましの言葉が述べられました。また、仕事の都合で残念ながら欠席された青山剛昌氏は、ビデオで心あたたまるメッセージを届けてくださいました。お二人には後日、学内で講演を行っていただく予定です。) | ||
| − | + | Then this fan website ( https://www.koware.net/cgi/conan_jyouhou/scheduler.cgi?mode=view&no=796 ) says that the lecture commemorating the Nichigei Award for Excellence is held on June 24th 2011 from 2pm at Nihon University College of Art Ekoda Hall. Apparently only university students could attend. (学部所属の学生さんのみ参加可能 ... 2011/06/24の14時から、日本大学芸術学部の江古田大ホールで日藝賞記念講演会として、青山先生の講演が行われます。) | |

| − | + | One more evidence for the lecture! The university's blog (Original link redirects to 404: http://blog.ocn.ne.jp/close.html ) mentions that Gosho's lecture is on June 24th 2011. Here's the poster from that blog: | |

| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | Okay, the fact that the lecture happened on June 24th 2011 at Gosho's alma mater seems legit . . . BRB googling more. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | EDIT: Also, you have to admit that, while 2chan may not be 100% accurate, they do turn out to be mostly right most of the times. ^^; I mean, I learned about OtonaFami from there, and I always go to the 2chan Shonen Sunday Spoilers board to check for the latest spoilers on the latest Conan file, which has turned out to be pretty accurate so far. I'm also impressed that the lecture turned out to be true, as well. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | EDIT2: Found one evidence for claim that "Gosho said Agasa isn't BO boss" via Twitter! This 青木敬士 (Aoki Keishi) person is, according to his profile, the Associate Professor at Nihon University of Art, Literary Arts(Creative Writing), and apparently organized the lecture that Gosho gave on June 24th (this tweet says that, since he is organizing the lecture, his classes are cancelled for those days) ( https://twitter.com/AOKI_KC/status/84051732849639426 ). He also lent his pen to Aoyama when Aoyama was signing signatures, and he got excited and jokingly tweeted that maybe he should take care not to wipe off Gosho's fingerprints (lol).

<spoiler> | <spoiler> | ||
| − | ''' | + | '''Translated by :''' Cocoa moth / Cocoa (from German)<br> |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | Volume 1 | |
| − | < | ||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | Hello, it's me, Aoyama.<br>In the course of the republication of Magic Kaito I take the liberty to show my memories of this time straightforwardly. (grin) | |
| − | + | The Revived Phantom Thief<br>The memorable first chapter! Actually I became a Mangaka because I wanted to write about a high school phantom (grin) and so I drew it under great tension! Well and back then I was short of money which is the reason why his hatband around his tophat isn't shaded with screen tone... | |
| − | + | The Police Are Everywhere<br>The original title „Keikan ga ippai” referred to a movie... „Taiyou ga ippai”, a movie with Alain Delon („Purple Noon”). Detective Doron is an allusion, too, because „Delon” is written as „Doron” in Japan. (grin) By the way! The words „When you bend them, they...” Kaito announces the light-emitting diode were literally written on the package of one of those things I purchased on a public festival as a kid. (grin) Appearantly they're actually known as „glow stick”. | |
| − | + | The Clockwork Heart<br>A science-fiction-thriller! A rarity for Kaito (grin). I recall that I perceived it as really exhausting to draw all the parts of the robot and that I had no computer, so that I had to write Kaito's farewell letter by hand (Haha!). By the way! In the panel the robot says „I'm Kuroba Kaito... Haha!!” Kaito's pupils look kinda strange (?). There I mimicked Akemi Matsunae of which I was a big fan back then. (grin) | |
| − | + | Kaitou Kid's Busy Day Off<br>Back then, the 3D movie „Captain EO” starring Michael Jackson was being played in cinemas and has been satirized in this chapter, although I never thought 3D movies could have been revived because of „Avatar”... (grin) By the way! When I read the closing scene today I think that the phrase „But, ice cream... still tastes great!” is my most embarrassing quote ever (grin). | |
| − | + | The Pirate Ship Unsurfaced<br>A sea adventure with Kaito? This is a rarity, too! (grin) I can't remember at all why I wanted to draw this story, but maybe I wanted a confrontation between a thief from the mainland and a thief of the seas...? (Ha!) Well, and so Kaito brought his costume of Kaitou Kid even to this place...?! (grin) | |
| − | |||
| − | + | The Scarlet Temptress<br>There she is! Mistress Akako! To be honest, she, as practitioner of black magic, is the reason who drove me into the corner the most during Kaitos appearances in Conan. Well, you just have to accept these works as parallel universes. (grin) By the way, Kaito Kuroba is written on the handkerchief, this probably was a prank done by his mom (Chikage)... (grin) | |
| − | + | Aoyama Kid ♥ | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Volume 2 | |
| − | + | Stay Away From Him<br>Although it's more of a romantic tale than a thief story I really like this one ♥ Especially the panel with „Well, excuse me for being an idiot...“ is a real gem, because of how often I had to redraw it! (laughs) Additionally, Superman and Top Gun appear... which is according to my taste! It's also revealed in this story that Aoko is flat-chested. (laughs) | |
| − | + | Japan's Most Irresponsible Prime Minister<br>A story I used one of my then-favourite actors Hitoshi Ueki, who has passed away in the meantime, as model! I also dared to use the Japanese prime minister - this was probably really audacious... And then characters appear who look like the past leaders of the USSR and the USA, Gorbachev and Reagan... (sweating). By the way, did anyone notice the „Akako balloon“ in the night sky? (laughs) | |
| − | + | I Am the Master!<br>This story was purely written because I felt like it! Anyway, I really wanted to draw how Kaitou Kid makes a balls to the wall ride down the facade of a building... (laughs). I would be nice if they one day made an Anime out of it ♫ Oh well, even if Cleopatra's Vanity case should really exist, two thousand years later one probably couldn't use it anymore... (laughs) | |
| − | + | Would You Grow Up<br>If I remember correctly, the hang-glider associated with Kaitou Kid lifted the first time in this story. Well, one could also say that Kaitou Kid could have fled from the get-go with it, instead of stretching a rope to the Tokyo Tower first (laughs). I'd really like to bring the motorized roller skates again. | |
| − | + | The Boy Who Bet on the Ball<br>It has also been really daring to take real professional baseball player as a model... (laughs). I think the story was created after I talked with my editor in charge about how thrilling it would be if Kaitou Kid appeared on a pole in Tokyo Dome. Well, the Yomiuri Giants are working together with Conan in several ways anyway, so I hope they can turn a blind eye to this... (fierce laughter) | |
| − | + | Ghost Game<br>If I remember correctly, I was frantically busy because I had to draw „Tantei George no Minimini Daisa-kusen“ („Detective George's Mini-Mini Big Strategy“) three weeks in a row for the Sunday magazine, so I finished this chapter in a very short time... (laughs). Directly afterwards my series „Yaiba“ started, because of which „Magic Kaito“ had to pause for a while. Hard to believe that the series is continued until today...! (laughs) | |
| − | + | Hustler vs. Magician<br>Originally this was the true second chapter of „Magic Kaito“! But... it was rejected! Since my debut in „Sunday“ there was never a story before or after it that was rejected. It's real luck that it made it into this volume! (laughs) | |
| − | + | Omake<br>„Magic Kaito“ was the first Manga I was allowed to publish as a Mangaka, which could be the reason I drew this story with zest and high motivation... Oh well, this probably was my youthful enthusiasm... (laughs) | |
| − | + | Aoyama Kid ♥ | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Volume 3 | |
| − | + | Star Wars<br>The first „Magic Kaito“ story I drew in the Heisei era (since 1989 -editor's note). There are several stories in which someone tries to gain profit from using a false Kid, but this is the shining first one! At the crime scene Kid announced a lot of Kid fans have assembled and shout "Kid! Kid!". Pretty clever idea, huh? Because this has developed to a classical element until today. | |
| − | + | The Great Detective Appears!!<br>Entrance of Saguru Hakuba! No, not only that, the chief inspector also shows his face...! Perhaps the junior was just worried because the top policeman never appears at the crime scene? (grin) | |
| + | By the way, Kid is so bad at ice skating because I'm so lousy in it myself. | ||
| − | + | Kaitou Under Scrutiny<br>The skirt of Aoko's school uniform is so long and Kid's television is so big! From this you can tell the time! (Haha!) Apropos, the newspaper appearing on the last page is called „Oshima Daily Paper“ in the original version. Most of the newspapers shown in „Magic Kaito“ were named after my then editors. I beg your pardon. (grin) | |
| − | < | + | |
| − | < | + | Akako's Delivery Service<br>Kaitou Kids measurements, 1.74 m (~ 5'9") and 58 kg (~ 128 lbs), naturally are my measurements from back then! The same goes for his blood type! (grin) Back then I thought it's really cool that it's possible to figure out skin colour and age of a person just by a single hair, but today, with DNA analysis you can figure out the whole identity of the person the hair belongs to. The progress of science is frightening... (Haha!) |
| + | |||
| + | (Extra Chapter) Yaiba vs. Kaito!<br>I was told to draw a short, self-contained story and this dream sequence is the result. Back when I was a kid I already loved collaborations like „Mazinger Z vs. Devilman“, so I wanted to draw something like this. This is also the reason Kaitou Kid appears in Conan... (grin) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Blue Birthday<br>The first time the gem Kaitou is after is the name origin for the title! Because this was the first „Magic Kaito“ after a very long time I debuted Kaitou Kid's arch-enemy and I can remember how much this motivated me... but it's also a story about a nightly firework in the midst of the city which must have made a lot of trouble in the surroundings... (grin) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Green Dream<br>Oh well, this story is nothing special, but to be honest, it's this story which grew dear to my heart. (grin) What should I say about it? The rhythm is felicitous. This story was the first time I drew Kid's „signature“ we've grown so accustomed to. You can also tell from the name of one of the persons appearing that I really loved „Furuhata Ninzaburō“ back then - a japanese police detective drama. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Aoyama Kid ♥ | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Volume 4 | ||
| + | |||
| + | Hello, it's me, Aoyama.<br>Since Magic Kaito is being republished I allow myself to show my memories about the past without further delay. (grin) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Crystal Mother<br>This is the Kaito-train story I always wanted to draw! Including some allusions to "Lupin III" or "Sherlock Holmes" it became a story during which I could live it up... (grin) Snake, who got severely hurt in the tunnel returns in the following chapter completely unharmed. That's what I call "tough“! (Ha, ha!) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Red Tear<br>Back when this story was published the first time, the thre first pages were in color! In fact, this created a mystery: „The gem on page 1 is blue, but the one on the cover page is red... Why oh why?“ Great that we can revive this mystery in all its glory! (grin) By the way, the closing scene in which all the photos containing the fondest memories are projected against the wall is an homage to the closing scene of the movie „Cinema Paradiso“. ♪ I used this highlight again in „Detective Conan – The Last Wizard of the Century“. (grin) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Black Star<br>The first confrontation with the one and only Shinichi Kudo! In this story, Kaito says: „The inspector couldn't catch him even if he used a satellite system!“ But really, it's kind of surprising that he hasn't caught him before, isn't it?! (grin) Shinichi is firing a pistol? Akako wants to use magic to get rid of Shinichi? Little Kaito is flirting with Aoko? What a crazy story! (grin) Well, the scene in which Akako uses her magic powers was cut from TV syndication, but it was restored for the DVD, so everyone who wants to watch it, can do so now. ♥ Oh yeah, the title „Black Star“! I believe there are some readers who ask themselves why this gemstone served as the namesake of the story even though it's just mentioned in passing at the end. That's because Kaitou Kid himself is the "Black Star" after all ★ – hence the title! ♪ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Golden Eye<br>The first duel of the phantoms! (... maybe.) Catherine Zeta-Jones was the model for the character Ruby Jones. ♥ Well, they don't look very much alike... (Ha, ha!) In this story it's made clear that Kaito was born in June and Aoko in September! Exactly... Kaitou Kid may be a thief, but he is also a magician, so it really delighted me to slip in the name of the grandiose real-life magician Harry Houdini. (grin) There are a lot of tricky moments that show how much Detective Conan "poisoned" this story... (Ha, ha!) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Dark Knights<br>The mask Nightmare is wearing is based on one I bought during a vacation in Spain, because I really liked it. It now hangs at the wall of my living room. (Ha, ha!) Again, in this story is a lot to analyze and moreover, it ends in a thought-provoking, grim mood, which isn't very typical for „Magic Kaito“. On the other hand, this isn't bad either, isn't it? Superintendent Chaki, an old acquaintance from Detective Conan, had his origin in this story. Further on, Hakuba's nanny „Baaya“ has her very first appearance in here! Actually, it's said that there is another nanny for him who has a more docile personality, but that's a different story altogether... (He, he...) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Phantom Lady (Preannouncement)<br>This story revolves around how the original Kaitou Kid obtained a wonderfully beautiful jewel for the first time. ♥ It will be the first in Volume 5... I wonder when it will be released? (grin) | ||

| − | + | 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> | |

| − | + | ⇒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) | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | <br> | ||
| − | + | 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. | |

| + | ミステリーをお願いできませんか」 | ||
| − | + | 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 | |
| − | + | 「それは言えない。でも、今までにフルネームで登場している人です」 | |

| + | 劇場版「名探偵コナン」シリーズ、17作目となる最新作『名探偵コナン 絶海の探偵(プライベート・アイ)』。本作では海上自衛隊の全面協力の下、迫力の映像が実現した。スペシャルゲストとして出演したのは学生時代からコナン読者という柴咲コウ。ミステリアスな女性自衛官・藤井七海をクールに演じた。約7年ぶりの声優挑戦とは思えない堂々とした演技に原作者の青山剛昌も「かっこいい！」と太鼓判を押すほど。今回が初対面の二人だが、そこはコナンがつなぐ縁。読者ならではのコナンへの思い、作家ならではのこだわりを語った。 | ||
| − | + | ■お互いは初対面。でもコナンとは20年近くの付き合い！ | |
| − | + | Q：初対面だそうですが、お互いの印象はどうですか。 | |
| − | + | 青山剛昌（以下、青山）：よくテレビで見ているんですよ、「ガリレオ」とか。そのまんまですね。 | |
| − | + | 柴咲コウ（以下、柴咲）：わたしは単行本を買っているのですが、そこに青山先生の似顔絵が描いてありますよね？ | |
| − | + | 青山：いつも、殺されているやつですね。 | |
| − | + | 柴咲：そうそう！ 血が流れている（笑）。似ています。さすがです。 | |
| − | + | Q：柴咲さんが最初にコナンを読んだのはいつごろですか。 | |
| − | + | 柴咲：うろ覚えなのですが、少年サンデーで読んでいました。確かわたしが中学生くらいのときに連載が始まったと思います。もしかしたら、第1話か、その次くらいから読んでいるんじゃないかな。 | |
| − | + | 青山：おお、すごい！ 子どもの頃読んでいた人が、今はお父さんになって、子どもと一緒に観ているという人も多いんですよ。 | |
| − | + | Q：柴咲さんにとって、コナンの魅力とは？ | |
| − | + | 柴咲：完全に読者としての感想でいいですか（笑）。まず、絵がすごく入っていきやすいんです。特徴があって、一目見て覚えやすい。でも、解く謎は一級。テレビドラマで時間をかけて扱うような難事件だったりするから、いつの間にか世界に引き込まれてしまうんです。 | |
| − | + | 青山：べた褒めですね。ありがとうございます。 | |
| + | |||
| + | ■コナン史上最もハードな内容に子どもが付いてこられない!? | ||
| − | + | Q：今回は憧れのコナンの世界に海上自衛官・藤井七海として登場しますね。 | |
| − | + | 柴咲：読者って多少、わがままな部分があるじゃないですか。自分の都合のいいように解釈したり（苦笑）。今回はスペシャルゲストという形で、この映画だけのキャラクターで参加できたので、自分としてはラッキーだったと思います。 | |
| − | + | 青山：藤井七海のキャラクターデザインも僕がやっているんですよ。柴咲さんが演じられると聞く前に描いたのですが、「美人にしてほしい」という要求があったので、眉毛をひょひょひょいと、目は軍人っぽくきりっとさせました。 | |
| − | + | 柴咲：眉毛、かわいいですよね！ 軍人役と聞いてきちんと演じられるのか、ちょっと心配だったのですが、緊張感をずっと持ち続けていたので、そこを膨らませていけば何とかなるかなと思っていました。それから、わたしが声を入れたときには、もうほとんどの人の声が入っていたので、とても参考になりましたね。何もない状態で入れるのはすごく大変なんじゃないかと思いますが、コナン君の声ももう入っていましたから。 | |
| − | + | 青山：うまかったですよ。違和感がなかった！ | |
| − | + | 柴咲：でも、やり直ししたんですよ。歌も歌っているせいか、せりふにメロディーというか、ふに落ちるイントネーションがあるんです。それに合ったときは後から聞いても大丈夫なんですけど、時々「これでいいのかなぁ？」と何となくメロディーが合っていないような気がするものはどこか違和感や気持ち悪さが残って、やり直すことがありました。 | |
| − | + | 青山：そういうときには自分から「録（と）り直した方がいいんじゃないですか」って言うの？ すごいなぁ。僕はそれでOKなら「じゃ、いいね？」って言っちゃうなぁ（笑）。 | |
| − | + | 柴咲：もともと声にコンプレックスがあったせいかもしれません。歌を歌い始めてから、少しずつ緩和されていったんです。けれど声だけとなると、はっきりと出るじゃないですか。それを後から聞くのも試練でしたね。 | |
| − | + | 青山：声優さんにはいないような声だったから、何かいいなと思っていました。かっこよかったです。 | |
| − | + | Q：その藤井七海の活躍をはじめ、今作はこれまでの劇場版より、よりハードでダイナミックな印象を受けました。 | |
| − | + | 青山：今回、イージス艦を舞台にやるって決まったときから、脚本家の櫻井武晴さんに「リアルにしてください」と注文を出していたんです。だから、かなり大人向けになっていますね。あんまり子ども向けにしてしまうと僕的にも面白くないですから。ただそうはいっても、今回はもしかすると、途中から子どもが付いてこられないんじゃないかなと心配になるところもありました。でも劇中ではコナン君がわかりやすく、「何を探せばいい」とか、「何を考えればいい」と教えてくれるので、子どもも十分に楽しめる内容になっていると思います。 | |
| − | + | 柴咲：わたしも「うわ、難しい」と思いながら、やっていました。 | |
| − | + | ■衝撃!! コナンの秘密のルールを発表!! | |
| − | + | Q：先生の中で、コナンを描く上でのルールはありますか。 | |
| − | + | 青山：「コナンは泣かない」っていうのが一つのルールなんです。 | |
| − | + | 柴咲：今回、泣いていますよね？ | |

| − | + | 青山：名前は絶対、普通にしています。でないと恥ずかしいから。「ボールシューター」とか恥ずかしくないですか。「キック力増強シューズ」だと恥ずかしくないし、そのまんまだから、わかりやすい。めったに出しませんけどね。一番、最後に出したのがベルトかな？ あれ以降、出ていないです。急に変なものを付けて出てくるとおかしいから、コナン君がいつも身に着けているものでないとダメ。だけど、ほとんど使っちゃって、あとはランドセルくらいしか残っていないんです。 | |

| − | + | 青山：僕も原画とか描くんですけど、自分の絵が劇中に出ると恥ずかしいと思ってしまう感覚と一緒なのかな？ アニメーターの人と自分の線が違うので気になるんです。今回はそうでもなかったですが。どう？ 気にならなかった？ | |

| − | + | ||
| − | + | 青山から「めったに描かない」という怪盗キッドと灰原哀、そしてコナンというレアな組み合わせのイラスト入りサイン色紙をプレゼントされ、手放しで喜んでいた柴咲。お世辞ではなく、本当にコナンが大好きのようだ。「額に入れて、絶対、部屋に飾ります」とうっとり。おまけに「アニメ版の声の出演もしてみたい。どんな脇役でもいい。クレジットもなくていいですから」と終始、興奮冷めやらぬ様子だった。</div> | |

| + | This is an interview of Aoyama Gosho (creator of Detective Conan) and Shibasaki Kou (Actress, singer, and voice actress of a character in the new Detective Conan Movie) which was posted by Cinema Today. | ||
| − | + | With this film involving entire cooperation of the Maritime Self-Defense Forces things get really intense. There is a special guest performance this time by Shibasaki Kou who has read Conan since she was a student. As a mysterious female member of the defense force, Fuji Nanami is played as a cool character. Her magnificent performance which made it seem easy even after having not been a voice actress for about 7 years, was given the stamp of approval and said to be "very cool" by the original author Aoyama Gosho. The two of them are just meeting for the first time now, but have a connection through Conan. We talked about thoughts towards Conan distinctive of a reader, and the scrutinizing of particular points which is distinctive to an author.<br> | |
| − | + | <br> | |
| + | [[File:Gosho Shibasaki interview2.jpg|thumb]] | ||
| + | ■ A First Time Meeting, but an Association for Nearly 20 Years! | ||
| − | + | '''Q''': This seems to be your first time meeting but what are your impressions of one an other?<br> | |
| − | + | {{font color|blue|Aoyama Gosho (hereafter referred to as Aoyama)}}: I've seen her on TV, on things like "Galileo" and such.<br> | |
| − | + | {{font color|red|Shibasaki Kou (hereafter referred to as Shibasaki)}}: Well, I bought one of the special volumes of the manga, which has a portrait of Mr. Aoyama doesn't it?<br> | |
| − | + | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: The one where I'm always being killed right?<br> | |
| + | {{font color|red|Shibasaki}}: Right! There's like blood pouring out or something (laughs). Anyway, it really looks like you. It's just as I expected.<br> | ||
| − | + | '''Q''': Around what time did you first start to read Conan, Ms. Shibasaki?<br> | |
| + | {{font color|red|Shibasaki}}: It's a vague memory, but I read it in Shonen Sunday. I think when it started getting serialized I had to have been in middle school. I think I started reading from the first story, or maybe the second one.<br> | ||
| + | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Oh wow! There's actually some people who watched it as a kid, and they have now become fathers and they watch it together with their kid.<br> | ||
| − | + | '''Q''': As for Ms. Shibasaki, what would you say the charm of Conan is?<br> | |
| + | {{font color|red|Shibasaki}}: Is it okay if I give my impressions completely as a fan (laughs). First of all, the pictures are very easy to get into and to follow. It's very characteristic and recognizable at a glance. But the mysteries to be solved are first-class. It deals with difficult cases that take time just as a TV drama would, so before you know it you're pulled into the world.<br> | ||
| + | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Such high praise. Thank you very much.<br> | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | [[File:Gosho Shibasaki interview3.jpg|thumb]] | ||
| + | ■Can kids really follow the extremely difficult historical subject matter of Conan!? | ||
| + | '''Q''': This time in the world of Conan, you appear as the Maritime Self-Defense Force's Fuji Nanami right?<br> | ||
| + | {{font color|red|Shibasaki}}: As a fan, there's a somewhat selfish part to it isn't there? I interpreted it as it was convenient for me (wry smile) As the special guest this time, I got to participate as a character that only appears in this movie, so I thought I was lucky.<br> | ||
| + | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: I also did the character design for Fuji Nanami. I drew it before I knew that Shibasaki would be playing the role, but they told me "we want her to be beautiful" and so I gave her thin eyebrows and sharp eyes like a soldier.<br> | ||
| + | {{font color|red|Shibasaki}}: Her eyebrows are cute aren't they! When I heard that her position was military personnel I worried a little about whether I could play the role properly, but I maintained a feeling of tension the whole time so I thought if I could expand on that then I could make it through somehow. And also, when I was recording, most of the other people had already recorded their lines so I could really use them as reference. I thought it would be difficult if it were a situation where no other voices had been recorded yet, but even Conan's voice was already added, so...<br> | ||
| + | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: It was very well done. Nothing felt out of place!<br> | ||
| + | {{font color|red|Shibasaki}}: But we did a lot of redoing. Like the way the song was sung, or matching the lines going with the melody, or getting a satisfactory intonation. So when you hear it after that's done it's okay, but sometimes you'd think "is this really good like this" when there was a feeling that it just didn't match up with the melody, and it would leave a feeling that it was just out of place and strange and so we would have to redo it.<br> | ||
| + | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: So at those times you'd say something like "could we record that again?" That's amazing. As for me, if it were ok as it was I'd just be like "alright, it's good like this right?" (laughs)<br> | ||
| + | {{font color|red|Shibasaki}}: By nature, I'm probably a little self-conscious about my voice. I felt some relief little by little. But when it's just my voice, I worry about if it came out clearly. So we would test out listening to it afterwards.<br> | ||
| + | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: You've got a voice unlike other voice actresses so I thought it was very nice. Very cool.<br> | ||
| − | + | ''''Q''': In this movie, Fuji Nanami's role left a very hard and dynamic impression different from the other movie versions of Conan so far.<br> | |
| − | + | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: For this movie, from the time that the setting was decided to be the Aegis ship, I requested to the scriptwriter "Sakurai Takeharu" that they try to make it very realistic. So it became very much directed towards adults. Because even for me too, when it's more directed toward kids I don't find it as interesting. Having said that, midway through I started to worry about whether or not kids could also enjoy this movie, whether they could be brought along to see it. But in the movie Conan explains in a way that's easy to understand what you should look for or what you should think about, and so I think that it's contents can be enjoyable for children as well.<br> | |
| − | + | {{font color|red|Shibasaki}}: I was also thinking "man, this is difficult" as I was working on it.<br> | |
| + | <br> | ||
| + | [[File:Gosho Shibasaki interview4.jpg|thumb]] | ||
| + | ■What a Shock!! The announcement of the secret rule of Conan!! | ||
| − | + | '''Q''': As for Mr. Aoyama, do you have any rules for when you're drawing Conan?<br> | |
| + | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: There's one rule I have which is "Conan must never cry."<br> | ||
| + | {{font color|red|Shibasaki}}: Does he cry this time?<br> | ||
| + | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Well, I'm not saying he cries.... But, there are people who are planning on seeing the movie so I have to keep it a secret (laughs).<br> | ||
| − | + | '''Q''': You played an active role in the Detective gadget that will appear this time too. Can you tell us anything about that?<br> | |
| + | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: I kept the names absolutely simple. Because if I didn't then it would be embarrassing. Something like "Ball Shooter" isn't embarrassing is it. "Kick-Power Reinforcing Shoes" isn't an embarrassing name, and also it's easy to understand. But those rarely get used. The most recent thing to get used was the belt wasn't it? But it won't get used from here on out. If something strange suddenly shows up then it would be weird, so it always has to be something that Conan can wear. But we've already used so many things, there's not much left besides and backpack.<br> | ||
| + | {{font color|red|Shibasaki}}: What about his hair?<br> | ||
| + | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: Well, he's not Kitaro (laughs).<br>[T/L: Kitaro is a famous character from a comic called "Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro" created by Mizuki Shigeru. Kitaro is a ghost who has many gadgets at his disposal, some of which being his hair which can be used for various things.]<br> | ||
| + | '''Q''': Lastly, could you tell us a scene that you really liked?<br> | ||
| + | {{font color|red|Shibasaki}}: Well, I've only been able to seen it once, but when I did see it obviously I could here my voice in it so naturally that got my focus. If I were to watch it again I think there's a scene with Conan that would really move me. The sound in the movie is very strong and I thought it was amazing. For example, the scene where the Aegis ship is going to attack was really amazing.<br> | ||
| + | {{font color|blue|Aoyama}}: I also drew some key-frames, and it's embarrassing to see them appear in the movie, which I think is like what you were saying right? The animators' style and mine are different so it's easily noticed. It wasn't so much that way this time, but... how was it? You couldn't you notice could you?<br> | ||
| + | {{font color|red|Shibasaki}}: No, quite the opposite... it was really cool!<br> | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | [[File:Gosho Shibasaki interview5.jpg|thumb]] | ||
| + | Aoyama gave a signed and colored illustration of the rare combination of Conan, Haibara Ai, and (the seldom drawn) Phantom Thief Kid, as a present to the extremely happy Shibasaki. She seems to not have just been giving him a complement, but to truly love Conan. She said ecstatically "I'm going to definitely frame it and hang it in my room!" What's more, from the start and still now she excitedly said "I want to try doing a voice in the animation. Any small role is okay, and you don't have to pay me." | ||

| + | <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> | ||
| + | ─ 今同は先生ご自身に各キャラクターの輝いたシーンやエピソードを選んでいただきたいと思います。 | ||
| + | 青山：頑張ります。こういう企画とか、いつも取材が終わったあといろいろ思い出して「あのシーンも良かったな」って後悔するタイプなんですけど（笑）。 | ||
| − | + | ─（笑）ではコナンからお願いします。 | |
| − | |||
| − | + | 青山：『謎めいた乗客』のワンシーンです。コナンが「逃げるなよ灰原・・・自分の運命から逃げるんじゃねーぞ・・・」っていう台詞。構図と相まって自分の中でも「これは決まったな」と思いました。 | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | あと最近だと『ホームズの黙示録」の蘭への告白シーン。これは新一のベストになるのかな？イギリス取材に行った際、告白は絶対ビッグベンの前でと決めました。やっぱり絵になるでしょ？時計の時刻も僕が実際に写真を撮った時刻と同じ。 | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | あとは『空飛ぶ密室工藤新一最初の事件』の中の一ページは迫力が出ましたね。過去編に切り替わる演出が上手くいきました。実は、蘭の乗っている飛行機が。”バード航空”から、ルナ航空〃に切り替わってるコマがあるんでよ。注意深く見ていれば変わったことに気付けるようになってるんです。 | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | ほかにも、『殺人犯、工藤新一・新一の正体に蘭の涙』で、蘭にだけ聞こえるように「下がってろよ」というシーンとか、ただの指紋の説明なのに、「人間が生まれながらにして天より授かった・・・終生不変のエンブレム・・・」っていう台詞とかね。いや、指紋だろって（笑） | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | ─ 次は蘭が輝いたシーン、行ってみましょう！ | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| + | 青山：『スキーロッジ殺人事件』かな。読者人気も高いですね。蘭は優しすぎるので、これ以降、かわいそうになっちゃって探偵役はやらせていません（笑）。 | ||
| − | + | あとは『バレンタインの真実』の「強かったらよかったのにね・・・」というところも、女の子らしい一面が出せたかな。『猿と熊手のトリ物帖も、おみくじを信じて空手を封印する女の子らしさと、その後に胴回し回転蹴りを放つ強い蘭のどちらも描けて良かった。 | |
| − | |||
| + | ─ コナンのライバルのひとり、怪盗キッドはどうでしょう？ | ||
| − | + | 青山：『集められた名探偵 工藤新一VS怪盗キッド』。まさか小五郎に変装しているとは思わなかったでしょ？おっちゃんがヘリから飛び出すところまで、読者をうまく騙せたかなと思います。 | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | あと「怪盗キッドの驚異空中歩行』もカッコよく描けた。「海のブルーと空のブルー」という表現が出てくるんですが、それがまさにコナンと怪盗キッドの違いを表しているんです。快斗は明るい空のブルー。コナンはちょっと暗い、深みのある海のブルー。言いかたを変えるとスケベとむっつリスケベ（笑）。似てるんだけど、少し違う。 | |
| − | + | ─ 『まじっく快斗』の怪盗キッドとコナンに登場する怪盗キッドは少し性格が違ってみえます。 | |
| − | + | 青山：コナンに登場するキッドにはほとんどモノローグを入れてないんですよ。内面描写がない分、クールに見えるだけで、実は頭の中で「あ、やべー」とか思ってるはず（笑）。「怪盗キッドの瞬間移動魔術『テレポーテーションマジック」』で出てくる。”サーストンの3原則”は、アメリカの名マジシャンの名前を冠した実在する法則で、ネタ的にも本当は『まじっく快斗』でやりたかった話ですね。 | |
| − | + | ちなみにアニメでキッドの父の盗一の声は池田秀一さんが担当されているんですが、これは以前「まじっく快斗』のアニメ化の話があった時、僕が『機動戦士ガンダム』のシャアがすこく好きで、盗一役はぜひシャアの声優で有名な池田秀一さんでと思っていたのがきっかけです。 | |
| + | そのあとコナンで池田さんが赤井秀一役になった後、アニメ『工藤新一少年の冒険』で盗一役もお願いしたんです。最初は池田さんも「なんで俺？」と仰ってましたが、説明すると納得して引き受けてくださいました。夢が叶いましたね（笑） | ||
| − | + | ─ ところで、赤井と言えば78巻で注目の展開に・・・。 | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | 青山：詳しくは秘密です（笑）。赤井が撃たれる『赤と黒のクラッシュ』『嫌疑/潔白/決死/殉職』は、ホームズがモリアーティ教授と戦ってライヘンバッハの滝から落ちる「最後の事件』をモチーフにしてます。赤井が落ちるのも”来葉峠（ライハ峠）”ってね。 | |
| − | + | ─ それでは西の名探偵・平次はいかがでしょうか？ | |
| − | + | 青山：『ホームズ・フリーク殺人事件』です。奥の平次と手前のコナンとで、コナンで初めて一ページぶち抜いたカットです。この時の下書きをアシスタントが保管していて、後で高く売れるかもって話したことあるんですよ（笑）。平次と和葉の絡みでは『そして人魚はいなくなった』もいいね。和葉の決意が凄い。 | |
| − | + | ─ 以前、弊誌のインタビューで、描いていて楽しいキャラは灰原と仰っていましたね。 | |
| − | + | 青山：はい。『競技場無差別脅迫事件』の「時の流れに人は逆らえないもの・・・」とか『1年B組大作戦！』の「方言は言葉に付けたアクセサリー」とか、灰原はとにかく台詞が好きで、僕の思ってることとかを代弁させやすい。 | |
| − | + | でも一番は『黒の組織との再会』で、「眼鏡をとったあなたはスーパーマンってわけ？」っていうシーンな。僕はスーパーマンが大好きで、この台詞を言えて良かったなあって。あと「まるで井戸からはい上がったコーデリアね・・・」とかもね。このシーンは灰原の名前の元となった女探偵コーデリア・グレイの『女には向かない職業』という小説で、彼女が煙突を上るエピソードがあって、そのオマージュになってます。 | |
| − | + | ─ 先生が一番描きやすいキャラは？ | |
| − | + | 青山：描きやすいのは小五郎かな。これまでの僕の漫画でいなかったタイプですが、僕自身小五郎に似ている部分があるから。おっちゃんですしね。それに実際にコナンみたいな奴ばっかりだと、なんかムカつくだろうし（笑）。他のキャラだったら不謹慎に感じることも、小五郎が言うと、「小五郎だし、まあいいか」ってなって憎めないでしょ。かっこつけだけど、優しいところもあるし、たまに冴えてる時もあるし。『小五郎の同窓会殺人事件』とか、まさに小五郎の見せ場。まあ、毎回眠らされて「コイツ、大丈夫か？」って心配になりますけどね（笑）。 | |
| − | + | ─ 本当によく寝る大人ですよね（笑）。そのほかのキャラクターのベストシーンについて教えてください。 | |
| − | + | 少年探偵団で言えば、光彦と灰原がちょっぴりいい感じですよね。『きのこと熊と探偵団』の「最高のレスキュー隊員よ！」ていうシーンが好きです。 | |
| − | + | あと気になるのは、高木&美和子の刑事コンビ。最近でも「命を賭けた恋愛中継『中継開始/絶体絶命/現場突入』で見せつけてくれましたけど、あれは『CSI：科学捜査班』を見ていて思い付いたんです。『CSI』では映像の受信がPCでしたが、やっぱり現代だとタブレット端末のほうが面白いだろうなと。 | |
| − | + | ─ インスパイアされるのはやっぱり刑事ドラマなどが多いのでしょうか？ | |
| − | + | 青山：ドラマや映画、小説などなんでも。人から聞いた話も多いです。例えば『泡と湯気と煙』で使った塩でビールを泡立たせるネタは、打ち合わせの際に編集から聞いて実験しながら考えました。 | |
| + | 僕が一番気に入っているエピソードの『揺れる警視庁1000万人の人質』（36-37巻収録）は、爆弾モノをやろうと決めてから、リチャード・ハリスの『ジャガーノート』（74年）をはじめ、いろいろな爆弾モノ映画を10本以上観ました。その中で見つけた水銀スイッチの仕掛けに触発されて、振動させたり傾けたら即爆発する水銀レバーのエピソードに繋げたんです。あの事件は話としても上手くまとまっていて、読者人気も一番ですね。 | ||
| − | + | ─ 最後に先生が一番好きなキャラクターを教えてください！ | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | 青山：コナン・ドイルは記者の質問に「（登場人物は）全て自分の性格の一部です」と答えたらしいですが、僕もここはドイルに習います。みんな大好きで選べないですから。全て僕の一部なんです。 | |
| − | + | ─ 青山先生は、今回の劇場版ではどのように関わられたのでしょうか？ | |
| − | |||
| − | + | 青山：例年通りトリックや事件など全体的にアイデアを出しましたね。今回は、僕が大好きな『相棒』の櫻井さんが脚本を担当して下さって、念願だったコナンとのコラボが叶いました。脚本など何度もやり取りしたんですけど、櫻井さんはとても仕事が速い人。やっとチェックが終わって脚本を返したら、ひと息つく間もなくすぐに修稿が上がってきて「え？嘘でしょ？」みたいな（笑）。 | |
| − | |||
| − | + | ─ イージス艦も櫻井さんの発案だったのでしょうか？ | |
| − | |||
| − | + | 青山：そうです。最初は驚きましたけど、「やるからにはリアルにしたいね」と話し合って、実際に取材にも同行しました。ですから、劇中で描写されている艦内の様子はかなり実物に近いですよ。取材時に、艦全体がものすこく整頓されて綺麗なことに驚いたら、艦長日く「清潔であることが規律に繋がる」と。「さすがー！」と思っていたのですが、後で別のクルーに聞いたら「先生が来ると言うので、念入りに掃除したんです。大変でしたよ」だって（笑）。残念だったのは、取材の日に海軍力レーが食べられなかったこと。曜日感覚を保つため、カレーは金曜日と決まっているみたいです。 | |
| − | |||
| − | + | ─ 先生から見た今回の映画の見どころは？ | |
| − | |||
| − | + | 青山：やっぱり今回はイージス艦の描写ですね。訓練風景とか、レーダーやモニ一夕ーとかお父さんと子供で見に行ったらどっちもワクワクするんじゃないかな（笑）。あとは終盤にかけての怒涛の展開と、蘭のピンチ。今回のキーアイテムとして”電波時計”が出てくるんですけど、スクリーンに登場したらちょっと注目してみて下さい。そうそう、僕が食べられなかった海軍力レーも登場しますので、お楽しみに（笑）。</div> | |

| + | </div> | ||
| + | '''Translated by:''' Fujiwara, Zenthisoror, Wakarimashita and Cocoa (Heiji, Kaitou, Yaiba, and Drawing Conan sections from German)<br> | ||
| − | + | '''Character Sections''' | |
| − | + | Conan<br> | |
| + | Hairstyle: Took 1 minute, got Yaiba's hair and made it smoother. Added Mahoutsukai Sally's little brother Kabu's apostrophe. The way he drew the back of the hair came from Adachi Maru's main character of Nijiiro Tougarashi (Rainbow Chilli Peppers) Shichimi... | ||
| − | + | Fashion: Essentially, 753 wear, i.e. when you're little at ages 7. 5 and 3, when these formal photos get taken, Gosho's 753 photos have him in bow tie and shorts. :P He tries to keep gadgets to what Conan can wear...but he's run out of ideas of late... | |
| − | + | Glasses: Gosho likes Superman. And when Clark Kent was hiding his identity, he wore glasses. So when he wrote Ai and Conan's conversation in vol 24, it was like a long held in secret was getting out. | |
| − | + | Speaking Habits: Rough but kinda cool, inspired maybe by Joe from Tomorrow's Joe Barooo, and other habits might have aspects of Touch in them as well. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Ran<br> | |
| + | Ran's concept: "Saying Ran's perfect is probably saying too much, but she's someone you'd want to have on your side. She's can fight and is a diligent student and can cook really well. And she's always waiting for Shinichi. Her only weakness is her fear of ghosts. I wanted to draw a girl that is strong in many ways, as I had never done so before." | ||
| − | + | ||
| + | Kogoro<br> | ||
| + | Gosho thought that a mystery type story would end pretty quickly so he originally designed Mouri like a thinner version of Nakamori. But then he was told that they were too similar, so he changed his hairstyle and his moustache... When both Nakamori and Mouri appeared in the same case there was a lot of thought over which one ought to be taller. On that front, Mouri is supposed to be taller. He made him a detective instead of a police officer because he thought that was easier to manage, He knows about policemen and he knows about cases. It makes things a lot easier... Oh sorry, I meant, the reason for the backstory about why he switched from an officer to a detective...it makes being a private detective easier for Mouri. Also, his face is familiar to a lot of the officers. | ||
| − | + | ||
| − | < | + | Haibara<br> |
| − | + | Haibara's concept: Gosho had planned to introduce ex-BO member Haibara from the start, even though her introduction was later than planned. As for her character, he wanted a tsundere character who's the opposite of Ran. Even though Haibara doesn't have much deer. But that's how he likes her. (laughs) | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | Detective Boys<br> | |
| + | Zenthisoror: The original concept of the three Detective Boys was to enable Haibara to hide amongst them! Basically, they provided the hiding place for Haibara. Gosho wanted a fat one, a thin and snarky one, and a cute little girl. They're obviously inspired from Doraemon but the personalities of all three are very different from their Doraemon counterparts. Especially because Conan's very different from Nobita-kun (hahaha, you could say that again) You could say that the three DB kids together are all Nobita-kun, all shouting, "Help us, Conan!" Genta's family run a bar/pub. Mitsuhiko's parents are both teachers. Mitsuhiko's sister is also a teacher. Ayumi's family he's not so sure...they live in a flat modelled on the one Gosho used to live in...so probably not the average salaryman... | ||
| − | + | ||
| − | + | Kaitou Kid<br> | |
| − | + | Phantom thief and master of disguise. Nobody knows his real identity - but he is a high school student just like Shinichi Kudo and goes by the name of Kaito Kuroba!<br> | |
| + | Comment! I needed a nemesis for my detective! | ||
| − | + | Design: He looks pretty cool of course, because he originally is the protagonist of another Manga series. But for every reader who doesn't know Magic Kaito, his guest appearances in Detective Conan could feel a little bit disconcerting. I for one have the biggest fun while drawing him! | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Concept: I wanted to have a powerful antagonist for Conan, someone like the Fiend with Twenty Faces from the works of Edogawa Rampo. And suddenly it occured to me that I drew such a character some years ago! From that time on it was decided that he would have guest appearances. Naturally I talked at length about it with my editor back then... who voiced his misgivings. So I tried to make Kaitou Kid's first appearances not too over the top. | |

| − | + | Heiji<br> | |
| − | + | His father is the superintendent of Osaka. He is a high school detective. And he is so good, that even Conan/Shinichi respects him!<br> | |
| − | + | Comment! The Anime just needed a rival... | |
| − | + | The highschool detective of the west: He hails from Osaka and so he has a dialect - which is because a complete opposite just makes a rival all the more interesting! But the whole thing also has the background, that the leading editor from back then came from Osaka, so that I completely trusted him during the final approvals of Heiji's lines. Additionally, his dark complexion is also a strong contrast to Conan's/Shinichi's appearance. | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | Concept: At first I created a storyline which was designated for the start of the Anime series and should have introduced Ai Haibara, but this wasn't to be. And suddenly it was said that the Anime series needed a rival, so I created Heiji Hattori. It was evident to me that a rival would also have to be a highschool detective and one with a very contrary personality to Shinichi. | |

| − | + | Okiya<br> | |
| − | + | Hairstyle is Char Aznable from Gundam crossed with Chiaki from Nodame Cantabile, which Gosho was really into at that time. It's the part of Chiaki's hairstyle where it's sticking up all over the place from how he sleeps that he added to Okiya. His identity: Is a SECRET. People might have already figured it out, but he'll leave it to our imaginations (some of the page has been cut off) | |

| − | + | Sera<br> | |
| + | In the detective koushien case, the female detective despite being the culprit ended up being so popular that there was a demand for this character but it was impossible since she was the culprit so Aoyama created... Sera. | ||
| − | + | ||
| + | Gin<br> | ||
| + | Gin's about the hat and the hair. There wasn't much deep thought behind his design. Just that he had some kind of high leadership position in the Organisation, but as Conan continued and looked as though it would get longer his character development got more complicated. 'The Aesthetics of a Killer' He drives a Porsche 356 A and carries a Beretta M 1934, so he's very particular about his tastes. But being particular makes a character cooler? (ahaha) | ||
| − | + | ||
| + | Vodka<br> | ||
| + | And Vodka is Gin's Watson...and what his eyes are like, Gosho will leave to the readers' imagination... | ||
| − | + | ||
| + | Chianti<br> | ||
| + | Concept: A character who wouldn't go around sucking up to Gin. He [Gosho] thought the swallowtail butterfly tattoo was cool. He [Gosho] thought a lot about her development and some one liners, like 'When my butterfly flaps its wings, people die'. But snipers keep both eyes open to shoot, so that one liner went down the drain. Her speech habits are supposed to make her seem a bit sexual. | ||
| − | + | ||
| + | Korn<br> | ||
| + | Concept: Silent, unsophisticated, and a bit of a wierdo...he's got skills though. Things are more fun with characters like these, aren't they? He's designed so that he looks like nobody else in the Organisation. He's got skills as a sniper though! The only person better than him at sniping, including Chianti, is Akai. If he's alive (hahaha) He hates Vermouth. For letting Calvados, a fellow sniper, die. It's not like there was anything particularly special about the relationship between Calvados and Korn. It's probably just that as one sniper looking out for another sniper, he can't forgive her... Fundamentally all members of the organisation with code names are supposed to be at the same level, so Korn's supposed to be at the same rank as Gin. It just happened this time that when they chanced to form a team Gin came out as the most leader-like of all them. | ||
| − | + | ||
| + | Vermouth<br> | ||
| + | She's the bad side of Fujiko Mine, the good side being Yukiko. Yukiko has Fujiko's hair-style. Both Vermouth and Yukiko have this middle hair-line too. Both hard to draw. It was difficult during the Train Arc because they both had a lot of panels given to them. But it was fun and the result was a success. Leaving aside their standing inside the BO, Vermouth used to like Gin in the past, I'd say. She also had a profound relationship with Gin... However, since Gin isn't the type to fall in love with another person, all this came from Vermouth's side. | ||
| − | |||
| − | + | Amuro<br> | |
| + | A character who's neither Akai, neither Okiya. First character with dark skin and blond hair. A long time ago there was the character Jewell (?) in Yaiba though. The cutting and adjusting of the frames was difficult because of the white hair but digital drawing makes it easier. | ||
| − | |||
| − | + | Extra! Kurogane Yaiba<br> | |
| + | Towards countless adventures together with his Thunder sword: Yaiba, the hero of the eponymous precursor series to Detective Conan!<br> | ||
| + | Comment! A shared appearance with Conan? At least his mother did herself the honor of showing up! | ||
| − | + | Here you can see Yaiba, who Gosho drew for the first time after ten years on the occasion of this special booklet!<br>I haven't drawn him for a long time.<br>Somehow, I think he looks way to smart on this picture! | |
| − | + | Concept: I used Teppei from Ore wa Teppei by Tetsuya Chiba as a model. I loved this Manga back when I was a kid! Teppei was also the reason why I started with Kendo. So Yaiba was kinda conceptualized as a Teppei with Thunder sword. On the other hand, it's fair to say that Teppei is way smarther than Yaiba! | |
| − | + | Similarities with Conan: He never gives up and he doesn't cry. But that's just how heroes have to be! Especially in front of the Detective Boys Conan acts like Teppei, just like Yaiba. But when Conan turns into Shinichi he is more like Joe Yabuki from Ashita no Joe. | |
| − | + | How about a shared appearance with Conan?: A shared appearance together with Conan? At least Yaiba's mother did herself the honor of showing up. Heiji's mother Shizuka got the second place in a Kendo tournament back at middle school - and the first place was taken by Michiko Tsubaki (maiden name), mother of Yaiba! Her face is the same as that of Moroha, the little sister of Yaiba. Whether Yaiba is also to be found somewhere? Probably not. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | '''Special Interview''' | |
| + | |||
| + | 1: Did Heiji make Conan drink Paikaru knowing what it would do to him!?<br>A: It was all a happy coincidence and the rest is internet conspiracy theory... | ||
| − | + | 2: A message came to Sera from her brother about whether she had met the wizard yet...was that from 'Shuu-nii'?<br>A: But Sera-chan said that 'Shuu-nii was dead' didn't she? In which case (smile)... | |
| − | + | 3: Sera seems to have met Conan before, but was that when Conan was Conan or Conan was Shinichi?<br>A: I can't give too many details, but Ran has met her too... | |
| − | + | 4: (Translated by Conan#1) Why did Conan tell Miyano Akemi his true identity? Any reason?<br>A: Because Conan thinks that person is going to die anyway.<br>Q: What if Akemi is taken to the hospital and brought back to life in a miracle!!!A: (smile) | |
| − | + | 5: The APTX4869 - it can shrink people as a side effect, so what's it actually supposed to do? Tell us!<br>A: Er...sorry, I can't say... | |
| − | + | 6: Apart from Conan and Haibara, are there any others who took the poison and ended up shrinking?<br>A: Who knows...maybe another one will turn up some time... (laughter) | |
| − | + | 7: In order to complete the silver bullet, why did Haibara have to separate from her parents?<br>A: I'm afraid I can't answer that either...But that will be answered eventually! So bear that in mind... | |
| − | + | 8: Will Itakura's software become important at some point in the future?<br>A: Well, I took the trouble of introducing it to the plot, so it must become important at some point... | |
| − | + | 9: Also, any hint as to what sort of thing it was...<br>A: Ahahahaha! Just remember it! Please keep it in mind!! | |
| − | + | 10: Gin and Vodka wear suits even in the summer...is there some secret as to how they manage to get by!? Normal people would find it too hot to cope...<br>A: Because wouldn't Gin in just his shirt be a bit funny? Yeah...these characters are among the ones that are a bit difficult to write in the summer...Gin, Vodka, Chianti and Korn all wear a lot of layers... Drawing them becomes a bit of a drag... Fundamentally, all men in black are a bit of a drag to draw! Vermouth, I just want to say, "Please no more!" (laughs) | |
| − | + | 11: In Akemi's mail to Akai Shuuichi that went 'If we could both get out of the Organisation...' what was in the PS?<br>A: That's an important point! I'll be bringing that up in the story later! | |
| − | + | 12: One last thing...could you tell us the identity of the Boss of the BO?<br>A: Wahahahaha! Alright, I'll let you in on the secret...It's actually... | |
| − | + | Interviewer: Whaaaaat!!! Answering these rather harsh questions in such a playful manner within his busy schedule, that was Aoyama Gosho!<br>(Note: Gosho did not actually say the name to the interviewer. This is a joke) | |
| − | + | Thank you very much!! | |
| − | |||
| − | + | '''A Lesson in Drawing Conan'''<br> | |
| + | Gosho Aoyama tells it all!<br> | ||
| + | Concept pages of the last case about Kaitou Kid, inlcuding comments by the master himself!<br> | ||
| + | How is Detective Conan made? On the next pages we will show you some concept art for the episode featuring Kaitou Kid from volume 82, together with some eye-opening commentary by Gosho Aoyama!<br> | ||
| − | + | I drew Makoto over the whole height of the page, because he had to look really cool. I don't really know who the people behind Inspector Nakamori are supposed to be, so I just wrote "Policemen". And because it was hard to tell the gem and the air gun projectiles apart, I provided them with some notes, too. | |
| − | + | Here you can see the finished manuscript!<br> | |
| + | On the concept art there was only a simple circle, but on the finished page the gem shines in all its splendor! Makoto's gas mask is also pretty detailed on the finalized page. | ||
| − | + | On the rough page it is hard to see that Ran and Conan are brushing their teeth, so there is an appropriate note. But you can recognize Ran pretty easily by her pointy hairdo, even on very rough concepts. And Conan is always easily recognizable by his text! And of course by his glasses and the crown. | |
| + | Even on the concept pages, the facial expressions are highly convincing! | ||
| − | + | Here you can see the finished manuscript!<br> | |
| + | The tooth brushing scene was pretty loose in the concept stage, but got a lot of details in the finalized manuscript. And the perspective from which the detective agency is seen has also changed - so its shown to its best advantage. | ||
| − | + | The concept pages are always accompanied by a character overview, which serves as a reference!<br> | |
| + | Every character is seen in a specific perspective. When Gosho Aoyama has decided about the looks of the respective characters he proceeds with the creation of the manuscripts! | ||
| − | + | Here I used almost the same dialogue from a few pages before with other characters. Because this is a key scene, I kept the panel composition from the concept page in the finished manuscript.<br> | |
| + | Conan: Looks like Kid stole the show from me in this story! | ||
| − | + | The finished manuscript!<br> | |
| + | Just like Gosho mentioned in his commentary, the panel composition often doesn't change from concept to manuscript stage. | ||
| − | + | A character overview of the Suzuki family. <br> | |
| − | + | An overview of every appearing character serves as a guideline during the production of a manuscript. This time, Sonoko's family gains center stage.<br> | |
| − | + | Thanks a lot for the exciting insights, Gosho Aoyama! | |

| + | 2009年のテレビ初共演から4年。大いなる歴史を超えた“天下無敵の大泥棒・ルパン三世”VS“頭脳明晰の名探偵コナン”対決がスクリーンでふたたび実現！ そんな同作の公開直前、ルパン三世ファンとコナンファンに向けて、モンキー・パンチ先生＆青山剛昌先生の原作者同士の貴重な動画対談が実現！ 世代、性別を超えてすべてのファンに贈る熱いメッセージとは☆ 友情出演の“キング”三浦知良、今作で声優に初挑戦した内野聖陽＆夏菜のインタビューも！ | ||
| − | + | 両作者が『ルパコナ』を語り合う!! | |
| − | + | ――テレビスペシャルから5年、ルパンとコナンの対決が映画になると聞いてどう思いましたか？<br> | |
| + | 【モンキー・パンチ】 前作の評判も良かったし、映画もできるなって感じはしていましたね。映画でちゃんと対決できてよかったと思いました。<br> | ||
| + | 【青山】 僕も、たぶん映画になるなと思っていました。GWにコナン、冬にルパコナ、1年に2回も映画をやるとは思ってもみませんでしたけど（笑）。 | ||
| − | + | ――おふたりはいつからお知り合いなんですか？<br> | |
| + | 【青山】 あるパーティーでモンキー・パンチ先生にお目にかかったことがあって、そのとき、僕はサインをいただきました。きちんとお話したのは前回のテレビスペシャルで対談したときなので、5年ぶりです。 | ||
| − | + | ――モンキー・パンチ先生から見た『名探偵コナン』の魅力は？<br> | |
| + | 【モンキー・パンチ】 僕は少年漫画をあんまり読まないんだけど、『コナン』がうまいなぁと思ったのは、高校生が体だけ子どもになってしまうというキャラクター。このやり方は新鮮だなって思ったし、子どもをターゲットにする上で、うまいと思いました。ルパンもそれをやればよかったな（笑）。<br> | ||
| + | 【青山】 とても光栄です。 | ||
| − | + | ――青山先生から見た『ルパン三世』の魅力は？<br> | |
| + | 【青山】 『007』的に変装でき、変声器を使わずとも声色を使い分け、どんな鍵がかかっていてもぱっと開けて盗み出す鮮やかな手口……、もうスーパーマンですね。 | ||
| − | + | ――ルパン対コナンなんてありえない対決が実現すること自体、作品がひとり歩きして育っている感じがしませんか？<br> | |
| − | < | + | 【モンキー・パンチ】 僕は作品がひとり歩きしていくのもいいと思っています。漫画とアニメーションでは表現の仕方が違いますから、アニメのスタッフには自由に作ってくださいと言っています。ただ、キャラクターだけは変えないでくださいってことだけですね。後は自由に作っていただいたらいい。僕が漫画のルパンを描き始めたのは1967年。46年も前ですから、当時の感覚のままでやっていたらかなり古くなってしまいますので、才能ある若い監督さんに今の感覚でやってもらったほうがよりおもしろくなると思っています。これからも思う存分やってくれといいたいですね。<br> |
| − | + | 【青山】 僕は原作通りにやってくれといいたがる方（笑）。もうちょっと年をとったらモンキー・パンチ先生のように好きにやってと言うかもしれないですけど。アニメオリジナルを作ることもあるので、そのときは僕もキャラクターだけは崩さないで、と言っています。原作者というだけでなくアニメの原画をやったりしていますし、今回の『ルパコナ』では絵コンテも書きましたし……。実は、アニメーターになりたかったので、アニメにも携われてよかったと思っています。 | |
| − | <br> | + | ――お互い、この機会に聞いてみたいことってありますか？<Br> |
| + | 【モンキー・パンチ】 漫画家さんに聞きたいことはいっぱいあるんですけど……。ストーリーの作り方とか気になりますね。何をヒントに作っているのか、探偵もののなかで何を参考にしているか、聞いてみたいと思っていました。<Br> | ||
| + | 【青山】 ありとあらゆるものを参考にしています。刑事ドラマを観て、こういう切り口もありか？ とか。僕からの質問は、モンキー・パンチ先生のなかで峰不二子は何歳なんですか？<Br> | ||
| + | 【モンキー・パンチ】 僕の漫画では、キャラクターの年齢をはっきり書いていないんですよね。観る人が感じた通りでいいんじゃないかと思って。子どもから見れば不二子はずいぶん年上に見えるだろうし、若者が見れば25～26歳かもしれないし、見る人の感覚にまかせていますね。<br> | ||
| + | 【青山】 不二子ちゃんは僕自身の初恋の相手です。先生にとって不二子は恋人ですか？<br> | ||
| + | 【モンキー・パンチ】 恋人ではないですね。<br> | ||
| + | 【青山】 恋人じゃないのか……。<br> | ||
| + | 【モンキー・パンチ】 女性のことはいまだにわからないところがありますから……（笑）。悪いことをしても許せる女性もいれば、腹が立つ女性もいる。不二子の場合はすべてひっくるめているんですよね。物語によってはものすごく腹が立つキャラクターになっている場合もありますし。僕のなかでは、はっきりした不二子像はないんです。 | ||
| + | |||
| + | ――青山先生にとって『コナン』に登場する女性キャラは？<br> | ||
| + | 【青山】 好きなのは蘭ちゃんで、気になるのは灰原って感じかな（笑）。 | ||
| + | |||
| + | ――映画『ルパコナ』に期待していることは？<br> | ||
| + | 【モンキー・パンチ】 僕の『ルパン』の漫画は大人向けの作品でした。アニメ化でだいぶ対象年齢は下がったんですけど、それでも完全な子ども向けではない。それが、コナンくんが出てくることで、一気に年齢層が広がる感じがしますね。<br> | ||
| + | 【青山】 確かに、『コナン』は子どものファンもけっこう多いので、逆に大人のファンが多い『ルパン』と対決することで、子どもから大人まで、あらゆる層の方に観ていただけるんじゃないかと期待しています。<br> | ||
| + | 【モンキー・パンチ】 この映画をきっかけに『ルパン三世』『名探偵コナン』ともども、その素晴らしい魅力を再確認してもらいたいです。</div> | ||

| − | + | 前作の2009年の「ルパン三世vs名探偵コナン」以来の対談ですが、前作の評判や反響はいかがでしたか？ | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | 青山剛昌先生：「ゴジラ対ガメラ」という感じですよね。ありえない対決というか。とにかく、うちの親が喜んでいました。「え！ルパンと？あんたやったわね！」って（笑）一作目の出来がかなり良かったので、たぶん映画になっちゃうんじゃないかなと思っていましたけど（笑） | |
| − | + | モンキー・パンチ先生：話が来た時にどうやって対決させるのかなと興味はありましたね。さすがプロの脚本家だけあって、うまくまとめてるなという感じがしました。ただ勝負がなかなかつけにくいから脚本書く人は、書きにくかったんじゃないかな。 | |
| − | + | 青山剛昌先生：まぁこういうのって最終的には協力してって感じですよね。まあ今回は結構、対決しました。 | |
| − | + | モンキー・パンチ先生：いや今回のやつはストーリー見てもおもしろいですよ。ストーリー作る人もかなり苦労していると思います。いや、出だしから面白かった！ | |
| − | + | 今回、お二人からリクエストされたことはありましたか？ | |
| − | + | モンキー・パンチ先生：僕は基本的には全部おまかせですね。初めのプロットだけちょっと読んで、ああ今回はこういう話かとちょっとわかっちゃったらあとは完成品が楽しみなんですよ。 | |
| − | + | ファンの人たちと同じように公開された時にどんなのができたかなっていう楽しみがありますから。 あんまり深入りしないです。あとで喜んで見てるという感じです。 | |
| − | + | 青山剛昌先生：僕は逆にめちゃくちゃ関わりました。もう、監督にご迷惑かけたくらい。（笑）。いやルパンはこうじゃないだろうとか。原作のファンですしね。特に不二子ちゃんが好きなんで（笑） | |
| − | + | 今回、不二子ちゃんと灰原哀ちゃんの絡みが結構ありますが？ | |
| − | + | 青山剛昌先生：めちゃめちゃ口出ししました。 | |
| − | + | モンキー・パンチ先生：いや。おもしろかったですよ！なるほどね。かなり剛昌さんのこだわりも入ってるわけですね。 | |
| − | + | 青山剛昌先生：あのお風呂シーンは僕が自分でコンテをきったくらい（笑）こだわらせてもらいました。 | |
| − | + | モンキー・パンチ先生：僕はどっちかっていうと人が作ったものを見て楽しむ方ですから。自分で作ってる時は楽しみより苦しみの方が大きいですね。漫画を描いてるときは早く逃げ出したいという気持ちで書いていましたから。週刊だから書いても書いても次がきて、いつ終わるんだろうって。 | |
| − | + | 青山剛昌先生：今、俺それですよ！（笑） | |
| − | + | モンキー・パンチ先生：いや、若いからやった方がいいよ！僕はもう、ざるで水を汲んでる感じで、もういい 加減に終わりたいなと思ってた。でも後でアニメになったり映画になったりして、そっちを見る方が楽しいですね。監督さんの作り方によって違ったルパンで、違うルパンであってもルパン三世には変わりないので。今度の監督さんはこういう作り方なんだなと、今度のルパンはまた違った面白さがあるんだなと感じたり、楽しんでいますね。 | |
| − | + | 不二子も映画によって全然違いますよね？ | |
| + | モンキー・パンチ先生：僕はそれでいいと思ってるんですよ。もともと不二子はボンドガールが原型にあって、ボンドガールはシリーズごとに違うけど、ルパンは毎週あるから。毎週違うルパンガールは出せないので、どんな性格の女性が出てきてもどんなコスチュームの女性が出てきても、全部、不二子で統一しちゃえって感じでやりましたから、不思議な女性になっちゃいました。 | ||
| − | + | 青山剛昌先生：子供心に混乱しましたね。あれ？この不二子死んじゃったんじゃなかったっけ？とか。たまに「ふじみねこ」と呼んでいたり、ルパンの大学時代の同級生だったり、殺し屋だったり。ひょっとしてこれは名前だけなんだなって思って。 | |
| − | + | モンキー・パンチ先生：そう名前だけなんだよ。名前だけ統一しちゃって、女性はどう変わってもその名前でいっちゃおうって。それ以上の女性の名前が思いうかばなかったというか。毎週考えるのも面倒くさいしね（笑）名前だけは統一しちゃった。 | |
| − | + | 僕の場合、ルパン三世はどっちかというと続く話じゃないんですよ。一話完結なんですよね。次週に続く話だと、前の話を引きずって書かないといけないじゃないですか。前のこと忘れたときにえらいことになっちゃうので、（笑）この話はここで終わりにして、脈絡がなくてもいいんじゃないかという気持ちで連載をやっていたので、その週に初めてルパン三世を読んだ方でも話だけの面白さを感じてもらえればいいと思っていました。だから最初にアニメ化した人は、随分勇気がいるなと思いましたよ（笑）。 | |
| − | + | 工藤新一くんのお母さんのお名前は、旧姓が藤峰有希子で、不二子から取ったと。 | |
| + | 青山剛昌先生：そうそう。藤峰は峰不二子から取って、有希子は不二子の初代声優の二階堂有希子さんから取らせてもらいました。顔もほとんど同じ顔、描いてるし（笑）。 | ||
| − | + | モンキー・パンチ先生：それはありがたいな。初めて聞きました。 | |
| − | + | 青山剛昌先生：あと、実は、最初はコナンくんのお父さんの工藤勇作の声を山田康夫さんにやってほしかったんですよ。コナンくんの笑った時の口がルパンと一緒だったり、足首が細かったり共通点がありますから。 | |
| − | + | そういうところも前作や今作が、うまく融合した理由だったんですかね？ | |
| − | + | 青山剛昌先生：俺がただファンだっただけなんですけどね（笑）うまくマッチしましたよね。どちらも日本テレビ系列だったり、同じアニメ会社だったのがツイていましたね。 | |
| − | + | モンキー・パンチ先生：ラッキーだったね。ほんとに、ルパンとホームズを見てる感じだよね。 | |
| − | + | 映画館でコラボ作品というのはどのように期待されたり、どう見てほしいとかありますか？ | |
| − | + | モンキー・パンチ先生：僕、映画になる前から考えていたんだけど3Dにならないかなって。 | |
| − | + | 青山剛昌先生：じゃあTHE MOVIEの2は3Dで（笑） | |
| − | + | モンキー・パンチ先生：これシリーズになってほしいですね。 | |
| − | + | 青山剛昌先生：前回はルパンの世界にコナンがお邪魔したけど、今回はコナンの世界にルパンたちがやってきている。コナンはパスポートがないので、なかなか海外に行けないんですよ。（笑） | |
| − | + | お互いのファンがかなり楽しめますよね。 | |
| − | + | 青山剛昌先生：昔懐かしいセリフやテイストが出てくるので色々楽しめると思います。ルパンもコナンも知っている人ってなかなかいないので、最初と後半は口出しちゃいました（笑） | |
| − | + | モンキー・パンチ先生：僕も『DEAD OR ALIVE』で口出ししたのは、最初と終わりでした。 | |
| − | + | 青山剛昌先生：いや、オープニングは、原作の「ルパン三世」を見ているようで、めちゃくちゃカッコよかったんですよ。 | |
| − | + | モンキー・パンチ先生：ここまでやってもらえてうれしいです。ファンの人に見てもらいたい。 | |
| − | + | 青山剛昌先生：なかなか難しかったですよ。“両雄並び立たず”って言うじゃないですか（笑） | |
| − | + | 輸送機のシーンは先生もお好きな007シリーズを彷彿とさせましたね。 | |
| − | + | モンキー・パンチ先生：うまくやってるよね、すごくいいアイデア。ここまでアイデア作るのはすごい！僕は面倒くさくて、「もう任せるよ！」ってなってしまう。ご苦労様でした。（笑） | |
| + | 僕は出来上がったものを一ファンとしてしか観ないからそれが僕は一番楽しいです。シナリオもあまり読みません。読んじゃうと楽しみがなくなっちゃいますから。何もない頭で完成されたものを観た方がより楽しめます。作る人は大変でしょうけど（笑） | ||
| − | + | 青山剛昌先生：今回、不二子の3サイズが出ますよ！たぶん今まで出てなかったんじゃないかな。調べたら、全部ゾロ目で、理由がモンキー・パンチ先生が覚えやすいから。なるほど！（笑） | |

| − | + | モンキー・パンチ先生：あれはアニメを作る人の助けもありました。形を作るためにデータが必要だからって。じゃあ覚えやすいのでいこうかってことになったんです。 | |
| − | + | 青山剛昌先生：そういうのありますよね。コナンも青いジャケットを着ているのは、アニメの設定なんです。これいいなと思って、それから青のジャケット、赤い蝶ネクタイ、グレーのズボンにしました。 | |
| − | + | モンキー・パンチ先生：僕もアニメの人にずいぶん助けられてます。 | |

| + | '''Translation taken from:''' meitanteikonan blogspot | ||
| − | + | 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. |

| − | 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. | + | In the anime’s timeline, it has been less than a year since the roller coaster murder case.

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. | At the beginning of the series, we didn’t have smartphones therefore the characters were using flip phones.
