Intervista a Gosho Aoyama 2016

Q.蘭ちゃんはいまガラケーを使ってますがいつかスマホに変えたりすることってあるんですか？
A.おーぉーそう･･･そうなんですよ、難しいところなんで･･･まぁーうーん
あの2つ折りがなのがいま感じがいいんでー
なんだけどたぶんそのうち変えちゃんじゃねーかなと思うんすけど･･･すいません。
Q.85巻でバーボンとベルモットの会話でジンがネズミが入ってきてると問題視してるのは伏線なんでしょうか？
A.伏線ですね。えー伏線です、今回の映画もそんな感じの映画なんで
Q.えーと頼まれたんですけど･･･キールとバーボンとチェリーが組織モードの時に外国人の目になるのは混血？
A.あーいやなんかね、あのコナンもね結構驚いたりすると外国人の目になるんで･･･ちょっと怖い目とかにした時にあの目は描くのでそんなにたいした意味はないです。
すいません。
でも、(バーボ･･･)ハーフかもしれないよ。
(バーボ･･･)は、先生が何かを言いかけてハーフと言い直した部分です。
録音聞いてる限りだと、バーボに聞こえるんですが正直あいまいです。
ハーフを別の表現方法で言おうとしていたのかもしれませんね。
Q.今回･･今年の映画も純黒の悪夢でえっと、真っ黒な映画に何色の気持ちにと言ってたと思うんですけど、先生的には何色になったらしてやったりとおもいますか？
A.えー！それはちょっとヤベェな･･･
うーん、まぁやっぱりでもうーん観客が好きな色を選んで下さいってことですかね･･･ですね、ちょっと言いづらいです、すいません。
Q.88巻であのー佐藤さんがちょっとチャラい格好をしてるんですけれども、あのーそれが私服なのか･･･
Q.同じく高木渉ってやってるんですけど警察手帳が巡査長になっていて格下げされたんですか？
巡査部長のはずなんですけどサンデーでも巡査長であとマンガになってても巡査長になってるんで･･･
A.巡査部長の間違い。
ごめんなさい巡査部長です。
あのー佐藤の私服はたぶん由美に借りてんじゃないかな～？
因みに次の事件は、由美と佐藤が･･･あのーなんだ･･･新宿のアルタ前で歩いているシーンから始まります。
チュウ吉もでてきます。
Q. まだ、マンガで誰も気づいてないフェイクはありますか？
A.あー･･･えー･･･あるな。
誰も気づいてないですね～
もうすぐでてきますね～。
18巻ですね～。
Q.えーと安室さんとか赤井さんみたいにあのー公安とかFBIから黒の組織に潜伏してた人がいると思うんですけれども･･･
Q.逆にいま日本の警察とかFBIとかコナンのまわりに実は組織の人間が潜入してたりしますか？
A.あー痛いとこついてくんなー
Q.いまでも出て来てる人のなかにいたりこれからでてきたりします？
A.それは･･･ちょっと･･･ノーコメントです。
違う質問でいいよ。
Q.また、ちょっと言えないかもしれないんですけど･･･世良さんが匿ってる女の子って誰ですか？
A.それは言えないけど･･･マジか･･･
他にないの？
Q.また、言えないかもしれないんですけど･･･ベルモットは味方ですか？
A.えー言えねーよ。
マジかー。味方かー(困)
もうない？
Q.ベルモットと新一のお母さんは女優同士で知りありってなってたんですけど･･･凄い色々お互いのこと知ってそうで仲が良さそうなんですけど･･･
なんかどういう･･･どのくらいの仲なのかなって
A.まぁー女優仲間。
Q.色々しってるのかなって
A.そうでもない。
Q.先ほど話にあった、18巻の誰も知らない秘密についてヒント下さい。
A.それいっちゃう･･･なんで･･･誰も知らないっていうか･･･うーん。
えーこの人でてくるのっていう･･･名前をみたら『はーん』みたいな。
あーもう、いいじゃない。
あの読めばわかりますのでお楽しみに。
Q.これまでで、1番描くのが大変だったりする人、考えるのが大変だったキャラクターっていますか？
A.あーうーん。えーどうだろうな～赤井かジンだな。
なんかカッコ怖くしたらいいんでなんか難しいですね。
今回のコンテもかなり直しましたし･･･結構･･･うーん･･･なんか･･･まぁいいや。
あまりちょっとネタばらしになっちゃうんで。
司会者.直される時はなんか･･･なんか違うって？
A.うん。なんかね～チンピラみたいになったんですよ。
これはなんかジンっぽくしたりして。
Q.蘭姉ちゃんのあのヘアースタイルはどうなってるんですか？
A.あーごめん。あれでしょ～あーあれはやっぱりなんかなってんじゃないっすかね。
うーん。特徴ある髪型にしたかったんで･･･こういう記号というか･･･遠くすっごくちっちゃくても蘭とわかるようにする。モブの中にいても･･･これだと･･･そういう感じにしました。すいません。
アトムのトンガリとかと一緒ですね。

-Gosho likes Ran's current cellphone, but she (probably) will eventually change to a smartphone. He stated it is something 'difficult'
(Because that was the phone given by Shinichi i guess? :3)
-Bourbon and Vermouth's conversation in volume 85 about Gin's complains about the 'rats' in the org was foreshadowing about something.
- The interviewer asked if Bourbon, Kir, and Sherry are 'mix' because they make 'foreigner eyes' when they enter their 'Organization Mode', which Gosho answered that it just how he draw 'scary eyes', and have no special meanings.
But Bourbon might be a half.
Gosho tried to represent his 'half-ness' in a different way.
-The new movie has its whole 'dark atmosphere' with black as its 'main colour'. Gosho said if he were to pick a colour for the movie, it would be the colour that the audience like the most
-The 'flirty clothes' that Sato was wearing in volume 88 was probably borowed from Yumi.
The next case will be started with Sato and Yumi walking in front of an altar in Shinjuku. Chuukichi will also appear

Q: Ran's always using a Gallpagos phone: won't she switch to a smartphone at some point?
A: W-well... You're right. It's a complicated topic... Well... Hum... It feels a bit ankward that it doesn't close somewhat but...
Maybe I'll change it someday, or so I think from time to time... Sorry.
Q: Volume 85, when Bourbon and Vermouth are talking about how Gin suspects spies are getting in: is that foreshadowing?
A: Foreshadowing, huh. Well... Yes, it is. This year's movie will be more or less about that so...
Q: Well... Someone asked to me ask this but... Kir, Bourbon, Cherry (guess he meant to say Sherry), their eyes turn into foreigners when BO mode: are they mixed race?
A: Ah... No, nott really. When Conan gets surprised he also gets foreigner-like eyes so... I draw them like that when I want to portray scared eyes: there's no special meaning to them. Sorry.
But they maybe (some odd word: apparently Gosho can't come up with the word he wants to use) half, even.
(According to the person who wrote this it might be that he was trying to think of alternative word to "half", another way to tell mixed race characters apart)
Q: Now... This year's film "The Darknest Nightmare": what color feelings do you think we should give to this pitch black movie? What's the fitting color in your opinion?
A: Huh! That's a bit dangerous (in the sense that he has to avoid spoilers). Hum... Well, I guess each viewer should choose their own color... I think. It's a bit hard to say. Sorry.
Q: Volume 88. Sato's flashy outfit: are those plain clothes? In the same volume: Takagi Wataru is wearing flashy too but has his police notebook got downgraded to senior policeman, did you know?
He should be a police sergeant but both the Shonen Sunday chapter and the volume chapter read "senior policeman".
A: It got mistaken with police sergeant. Sorry, I meant, he IS a police sergeant.
And... Maybe Sato's plain clothes were borrowed frum Yumi?
Incidentally, the next case involves Yumi and Sato... Well... That's... It begins with a scene having the 2 of them walking in front of Shinjuku's Alta. (Fashion store in Tokyo)
Chuukichi also shows up.
Q: Is there a "fake" (a red herring) in the manga that no-one's noticed yet?
A: Ah... Huh... There is. No-one's noticed it yet. It'll soon be reffered to. In Volume 18 (speculated to be the APTX victim list and the "Haneda" name there)
Q: Eh... I think that there might be people like Amuro or Akai from the PSB or the FBI sneaking int the BO but...
Could there be the inverse, that BO are sneaking into Japanese police or FBI or in Conan's surroundings?
A: Ah... You bring up a painful topic... (Might be his way of saying: "I won't tell you")
Q: Could they be inside of characters who've already shown up or will show up in the future?
A: That's... welll... No comment. Please switch question topic.
Q: Also... Maybe you can't tell us but... Who's the girl that Sera's hiding?
A: I can't say that but... Really. Are there no other topics?
Q: Also... Maybe you can't tell us but... Is Vermouth an ally?
A: Huh? I can't say that. Really. An ally? (Looks troubled). Are you finished?
Q: Vermouth and Shinichi's mom knew other as fellow actresses but... Both know a lot about each other and seem to get along pretty well but...
How should I put it like...? How well do they get along?
A: Well... They're both actresses.
Q: I meant: how do they get along about how they know a lot about each other?
A: Not really.
Q: Please give us a hint regarding what you've said about that of Volume 18 no-one knows about!
A: You bring it up...? Why...? I'm saying no-one knows it... Hmmmm...
Well... You could say that someone might show up... When you see their name you'll go "Really?" or something like that...
Hmmm... Sheesh. Let's leave it at there. You'll enjoy it when you read it so look forward to it.
Q: Is there someone, some character that proved to be very hard to draw or think of?
A: Ah. Hmmm... Huh... Not sure... Akai or Gin, maybe. I wanted them to be cool and scary at the same time and it proved to be hard to.
The conté crayons I drew recently ago needed several redos.... It was rather... Hum... Somewhat... Let's leave it at there.
If I go I might end up spoilering something so.
(Gosho) President: I don't have much time to fix these... (President?) It's a bit wrong... (Gosho) What's a bit wrong?
Yeah. You see, it became like a hoodlum, even. Felt like behaving like Gin, even.
Q: What's with Ran's hairstyle?
A: Ah. Sorry. That must be it... T-that's, well, ended up like that, I guess. Hmmm... I wanted it to be a hairstyle with style so... I went with that symbol... Or, rather...
... Make it so that you can tell it's Ran even from a distance. Like when she's in the midst of a crowd... So that's why I made it like that. Sorry.
More like AstroBoy's angel head.
TL by Startold:
"Q: In volume 85, in the conversation between Amuro and Vermouth, we learn that Gin said that there are 'too many rats in the Organization'. Was this some kind of foreshadowing?
A: Yes, it was. And it will be the theme of this year's movie."
Gosho also said:
"An art book will come out this year."
"The SIS will be in this year's movie."

Q: Is there a "fake" (a red herring) in the manga that no-one's noticed yet?
A: Ah... Huh... There is. No-one's noticed it yet. It'll soon be reffered to. In Volume 18 (speculated to be the APTX victim list and the "Haneda" name there)
Q: Please give us a hint regarding what you've said about that of Volume 18 no-one knows about!
A: You bring it up...? Why...? I'm saying no-one knows it... Hmmmm...
Well... You could say that someone might show up... When you see their name you'll go "Really?" or something like that...
Hmmm... Sheesh. Let's leave it at there. You'll enjoy it when you read it so look forward to it.

Q: C'è un "red herring" (termine che indica falso indizio, falsa pista, depistaggio) nel manga di cui nessuno si è accorto?
A: C'è. Nessuno l'ha ancora notato. Presto vi sarà fatto riferimento. E' nel volume 18. (Nota non appartenente alla risposta di Gosho: potrebbe trattarsi del nome "Haneda", presente nell'elenco delle vittime dell'aptx)Q: Per favore, ci dia un indizio riguardante quel qualcosa che nessuno sa cui ha appena fatto riferimento, riguardo il Volume 18.
A: Perché sollevare la questione... Ho detto che nessuno lo sa.... Hmmm beh.... Potremmo dire che qualcuno apparirà (si mostrerà)... Qualcuno il quale, quando vedrete il suo nome, vi farà dire "Davvero?"... o qualcosa del genere...
Hummm... Lasciamo la questione così. Sarete contenti di leggerla/o (questa parte, questo caso), perciò aspettatelo con ansia.

"Highlights of the movie:
A confrontation with the Men in Black.
A showdown between Amuro and Akai
Boxing vs. Jeet Kune Do
A setting that will make you go "what, this place?!"

Dopo 22 anni di manga ci dice di "aspettare con ansia". No comment.
