Japan's national work "Detective Conan" has been serialized for more than 20 years, and in order to commemorate the longevity of the work, various official celebrations have been launched recently. Among them, the information about asking the original author Aoyama Gomasa about the work and the follow-up questions of the plot is naturally the most eye-catching. According to the latest publication of the sneaking away pictures, Aoyama Gomasa said that the final boss of the Men in Black organization is not Dr. Asa and Kudo Yusaku, and there are still many unannounced secrets waiting to be revealed in this work......

The following is a translation of excerpts from the publication:

Aoyama: "The happiest character I've drawn right now is Sera." ”

Q: Sera is suspected to be Shuichi Akai's younger sister, and she seems to have been inextricably linked to Conan in the past, so she is a figure full of mysteries. I'm afraid that in the future plot, she will also become the key to the development of the main line. On the other hand, in the 80 volumes of the single book, there is a shogi player with a talent for reasoning, Haneda Hideyoshi. At present, among Conan fans, there are also many people who think that he will become one of the main characters.

Aoyama: "Hideyoshi, but he's a very complicated person. I will continue to play in the future. This time, I went to a celebrity shogi tournament to learn about it. Haneda's 'feather' is taken from Hanyu Zenji (the best Japanese shogi player today). In the original work, in addition to 'that gentleman', there are many more explosive content that will be clarified in turn. First of all, you will know Toru Amuro's real name. And why does he have the figure of Gray Plains' mother Elena in his memories? The answer will be revealed in the future. And the two mother-level characters in the work are actually sisters...... In short, there are many people and events that are related to each other. Oh no, I'm talking too much. Hawkers,Please look forward to the serialization.。 ”

Q: Please wait a minute, please be sure to answer two more questions from us! What exactly is the purpose of the Men in Black Organization? The effect of APTX4869 has always been a matter of consideration for us, and from this point of view, it seems that simple immortality is also somewhat inexplicable......

Aoyama: "No. Indeed, everyone thinks so. And right now, something terrible is happening in the organization. ”

Q: Hey...... It's really a lot of concern! Well, what remains is the mystery that all readers care about very much. The identity of the boss of the Men in Black. Who is "that gentleman"? For a long time, there has been speculation about whether it could be Dr. Asasa, but Mr. Aoyama, you have officially denied it. In addition, Conan's father, Yusaku Kudo, is currently a strong candidate for the suspect......

Aoyama: "It's not a good saku. I've decided on the man who 'that gentleman' will be. And in the future, I will no longer accept questions about the identity of the boss of the Men in Black organization! After all, if it were announced now, it would be too boring, right? In the future, I would like to invite you to join me in a fierce battle of reasoning! ”

In addition to this sneaking away picture, interviews about Conan's character relationships have also been published in other publications. For example, the popular Japanese actor Takeshi Sato had a conversation with Aoyama Gomasa in a magazine. Some of the contents are as follows:

Sato: In addition to reasoning, the romantic comedy of "Conan" is also a highlight.

Aoyama: It's very difficult to write a romantic comedy story. In order to write great lines, I had to spend time thinking about it.

Sato: I'm a big fan of Ashbara. I really like it. Because she's a scientist and she's handsome.

Aoyama: Gray Plain~ Gray Plains is very popular.

Sato: Originally, it was a storage zài who didn't know if he was friend or foe. But finally at a certain moment, I opened my heart. When she ate the egg custard made by Xiaolan, she once said softly, "It's so hot......" (Volume 41 "The Secret Hidden in the Toilet") When I saw this scene, my heart was completely captured. I think Gray Plains definitely likes Conan. But because she knew something too complicated, it was impossible for her to take the initiative to make any statement. It's a place you can't relax. In addition, the anime version of Gray Hara is voiced by Ms. Megumi Hayashihara, and it is a really good voice.

Aoyama: As a manga artist, I have a lot of predictions when creating characters. For example, if you write it like this, the character will definitely win popularity, and so on. However, the popularity of Gray Plains is beyond my imagination. Among them, Ms. Hayashihara's voice has made a great contribution. Also, the mourning of Gray Plains is actually taken from "Erin Adler". This is also the only "woman" who has defeated Sherlock Holmes.

Sato: Huh, huh? Isn't that a very heavy message!?

Aoyama: That's right, today is the first time I've confirmed this news. Although in the story, Dr. Asa explains that it is "an 'I' from Detective V.I. Woshaski", it is actually taken from Erin. This is a special gift for Mr. Sato.

Sato: That's great! Thank you very much!

The "WUG" idol group will participate in the Chicago Comic-Con

In January 2014, director Hiroshi Yamamoto's latest work "WakeUpGirls! ended the broadcast of all 12 episodes as early as last month. However, although the work has been completed, the related project is still in full swing. On April 13, WakeUpGirls! The official website of the work was announced: The main creators of this work and the live-action idol group "WakeUpGirls!

The title of this comic con is "AnimeCentral", which is a large-scale anime festival centered on Chicago, USA. Focusing on Japanese anime and manga, the exhibition is the third largest in North America (AnimeExpo in Los Angeles and Azoba in Baltimore). It is also one of the largest comic conventions representing the central region of the United States. The exhibition is scheduled to be held at Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Chicago from May 16th ~ May 18th, 2014. And this time, WakeUpGirls! will appear as special guests. In addition to "WakeUpGirls!

Just like in Japan, the group's grassroots communication has been successfully introduced to overseas markets.

《WakeUpGirls！ is an original idol-themed animation work that was announced in January 2014 at the same time as the TV animation series and the feature-length theatrical version.

"All the members have new voice actors, so that the growth of the protagonists in the anime interacts with the growth of the voice actors, which can be said to break the dimensional barrier.

And these members, who are still very immature, will finally be able to present their performances to fans at a large-scale festival overseas. Tong Guò's overseas visit to wèn, "WakeUpGirls! and the 7 girls will be active in the future, which is also more worthy of our attention.

Inu Tong directed the Japanese drama "Goo is a Cat".

Inudo Isshin will adapt the 2008 live-action film "Goo Gu is a Cat" into a live-action Japanese drama that will air on WOWOW this fall. Rie Miyazawa plays the protagonist Asako Kojima. At the beginning, the supervisor of the live-action movie version was also Inudo Ichishin, and this Japanese drama version will rearrange and rewrite the plot on the basis of retaining the worldview of the original Oshima Bow manga.

"Coo is a Cat" tells the story of the protagonist's peaceful daily life with a ** cat named Coo. The original work is an autobiographical essay manga created by Yumiko Oshima. The live-action film version released in 2008 starred Kyoko Koizumi as the heroine, and was well received by the audience after its release. The script of the live-action Japanese drama version is written by Ryo Takada, and the story tells the story of the popular girl manga artist Asako Kojima who was hit hard by the sudden death of her cat, and not only could she not draw the manga, but she couldn't even eat. Later, under the editor-in-charge, she moved to another place. One day, she sees a homeless man with a sick kitten in Inokashira Park. After meeting a few times, Mako had the idea of curing the kitten, so she took the kitten to the ** hospital......

Rie Miyazawa has long wanted to work with Inudo to supervise it, she said, "I've seen the movie version of "Goo is a Cat". What a positive idea the director wants to reshoot things that were not filmed in the movie version in the Japanese drama version. Usually people want to shoot something new, but he deliberately rearranged the old work. I don't know how this will change, but I'm interested in that. Regarding the script, she said: "Every line can melt my heart, and there is no doubt about reading it." The script is very well written and has a lot of value for in-depth research. ”

On the other hand, Inudo Isshin, who is working with Rie Miyazawa for the first time, was full of praise after seeing her acting skills, saying, "I was surprised, moved, and looking forward to her performance, her performance was very thoughtful, sincere, and bold at the same time." After reading it, I will be deeply shocked. In addition, it is very beautiful, and I will probably never see such a beautiful picture in my life. In addition, Inudo Ichshin expressed his deep affection for her: "When the day's shooting is done, she will smile beautifully from the bottom of her heart. That's the smile that comes out of the moment people who take their work seriously are liberated from their work. Please, work with me one more time. Isn't it too early to say this? This work is not finished yet. ”

The live-action Japanese drama version of "Goo is a Cat" aired on WOWOW this fall.

An exhibition between Inoue and Gaudí will be launched this summer

Yuhiko Inoue, who has countless avid fans in Japan and around the world with his manga works such as "Slam Dunk" and "Drifter's Walk", is about to take on a new challenge in 2014. STARTING JULY 12, AN ART EXHIBITION TITLED "SPECIAL EXHIBITION GAUDI X YUHIKO INOUUE" WILL BE HELD AT THE MORI ARTSCENTER GALLERY IN ROPPONGI. As the title suggests, in addition to Inoue Yuhiko, the works of Antoni Gaudí, a Spaniard who was active in the construction industry in the 19th ~ early 20th centuries, will also be exhibited. Gaudí was a "Catalan Modernist" architect and one of the leading figures of Art Nouveau.

This exhibition is specially held to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Spain. The commemoration of the two countries began in 2013, and now the "collaboration" of representative artists from Japan and the West has added a lot of glory to the commemoration. Although these two masters are in different fields, the fact is that the collaboration has been going on since three years ago. Inoue had previously produced a work on the theme of Antoni Gaudí, "Yuhiko Inoue Meets Gaudí", which also made the July exhibition possible.

On April 9th, the opening press conference of the exhibition was held at the Spanish Embassy in Roppongi, Tokyo. Among those who met with the journalists on the day were the Spanish ambassador to Japan, Migue Ángel A. Navarro and other officials. The ambassador also sent his blessings to the exhibition and expressed his strong expectations for the exhibition.

Antoni Gaudí, who has passed away, will naturally not appear, so people's attention is focused on the other protagonist, Yuhiko Inoue. Inoue participated in the opening event in the form of a Skype livestream, while he himself was visiting Wèn in Barcelona, Spain. It can be said that Inoue traveled all the way to Spain to make the works of this exhibition. In the live broadcast screen, we can see that Gaudí's masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia, appears in Inoue's footage. In the picture, Inoue himself acts as a tour guide and introduces the scenery of the Sagrada Familia to the attendees through the window.

The exhibition is scheduled to feature more than 100 works of art and materials related to Gaudí, which were specially shipped from Spain. In addition, there are as many as 40 works by Yuhiko Inoue on the theme of Gaudí. It can be said that he has painted so many works specifically for this exhibition. In addition, the studio where he created his works is located in Gaudí's masterpiece Casa Mila. Surrounded by Gaudí's style, I believe that Inoue's activities will bring us countless surprises.

At the scene, Inoue was also asked about his impression of Gaudí. "What I have in common with him is that I'm never in a hurry to finish a work," he said. I relate to that. And he came all the way to Gaudí's hometown in the hope of relaxing his body and creating great works at the same time.

Previously, in addition to writing manga works, Inoue Yuhiko was often very active in related events and art exhibitions. In 2004, he used the blackboard of an abandoned school in Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture to create a work called "Yuhiko Inoue ...... 10 Days After That", which is also the aftermath of "Slam Dunk", so it has attracted much attention. In addition, since 2008, he has also held an art exhibition "Yuhiko Inoue's Last Manga Exhibition". The exhibition attracted many fans.

This time, as before, it was a serious challenge for Inoue Yuhiko. He will also draw pictures on the world's largest hand-wet Japanese paper, which is 10.6 meters wide × 3.3 meters long. So what kind of pattern does he draw on paper? The answer to the question will not be revealed until the official opening of the exhibition.

THE EXHIBITION WILL BE ON DISPLAY AT THE FOREST ARTSCENTER GALLERY UNTIL SEPTEMBER 7, AFTER WHICH IT IS PLANNED TO HOLD A TRAVELING EXHIBITION IN VARIOUS PLACES. Venues such as the 21st Century Museum of Art, the Nagasaki Prefectural Museum of Art, the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art, and the Sendai Media Center will be the organizers of the touring exhibition. In addition, a number of projects are being held in conjunction with the exhibition. The "Special Exhibition Gaudí X Yuhiko Inoue" will also become a major festival in the summer, leaving a perfect mark on the animation industry and even the art industry.
