/cracks knuckles. Let's get to translating this one, too. Using
this link as reference alongside the original Japanese ones stated in the first post. Going to translate what's not in the first post ... I hope there aren't any overlaps.
Q1: What's the greatest change in your life since serialization started?
A: I grew older. (laughs)
Q2: Where in Beika City would Aoyama-sensei like to visit?
A: Shinichi's house, maybe.
Q3: For the Meitantei Zukan (the Detective Picture Book at the end of the volumes), your assistants are the one who choose them, right?
A: In general, the assistants are the ones who choose. By the way, all the Japanese authors who really exist have had permission obtained from them before they are featured. Likewise, we also seek permission from the Japanese actors who appear.
[T/N: Question translated by Startold, there wasn't an answer so I did it myself. Basically, what Gosho is trying to say is that even though there are alterations to their appearances/names especially for the actors, they still ask permission from them before including them in the series, which is actually a nice move on their part.]
Q4: Who's your favorite character in Sangokushi (Records of the Three Kingdoms)?
A: Probably Guan Yu. He's a good businessman, and is a strong fighter.
[T/N: They're either talking about the book, or the classic game series. Who knows.]
Q5: What is the secret to surviving as a manga artist?
A: Don't allow yourself to draw whatever you think of, and you need to incorporate clichés that everyone expects to see. In other words, 'balance.'
Q6: Any place you recommend visiting in London?
A: The Holmes Museum. For those who are there, please draw a picture of Conan-kun in places that weren't shown in the manga. 'Edogawa Conan was here!' (laughs)
[T/N: Partially translated before.]
Q7: What do you consider when creating a character?
A: Their personality is usually inspired by a character in dramas/movies, the people around me, aspects of myself, and so on.
Q8: Be straight about it, who is Aoyama-sensei's favorite female character in Detective Conan?
A: You don't mean an ideal marriage partner, right? In that case, Ran. If you mean a life partner, Yukiko ... (laughs)
Q9: Please tell me your top five characters and top five stories.
A: My favorite character is Conan (same goes for the other four). I liked the story with the bomb that featured Matsuda in Volume 36.
Q10: What do you like about Conan-kun?
A: He makes me money ... if I said that, he'll get mad at me. (laughs)
Q11: Please don't let Detective Conan end this year. I'm on an exchange programme overseas for a year, and not in Japan.
A: It's still a long way from the end!
Q12 to Q18: Translated. In Q16, he's definitely talking about Kancolle. Q18 is a bit different in Chinese, though, so I'll include it.
Q18: When drawing a murder scene, how does Aoyama-sensei feel?
A: "I'm going to have to kill someone again," that kind of feeling. My facial expression will probably scare someone.
Q19: How do you think up snobbish expressions/dialogue?
A: I think of situations that make people unhappy/uncomfortable, and naturally, those expressions will come.
Q20: What are your hopes for Japan's future?
A: Please be able to host the Olympics.
[T/N: Completely different from the first post, so I'm retranslating. At this point in time, it's likely the bid hasn't taken place yet.]
Q21: Translated
Q22: I want a Kyoto arc, not just in the movies, but also in the main series. The movie version will have Kyoto in spring and Ushiwakamaru as its theme. For the manga, Kyoto in autumn and Sakamoto Ryouma as its theme.
A: Kyoto's great. It'd be even better if I can gather information there. Kyoto's local cuisine and other stuff is great, too.
[T/N: Ushiwakamaru is the name of Minamoto no Yoshitsune when he was a child. Yoshitsune, as he's more popularly known, fought for the Minamoto family towards the end of the Heian era against the Taira. On the other hand, Sakamoto Ryouma was a prominent figure of the Bakumatsu.]
Q23 to Q29: Translated. Q28 has an error, though:
Q28: Is there a character that appeared in only one case, but gained unexpected popularity?
A: The liar from Detective Koshien, Koshimizu Natsuki.
[T/N: He's talking about the high school detective from File 562, who (in)directly led to Sera's creation.]
Q30: Please have a Kansai Detective Conan exhibition and a fanmeeting where we can meet Aoyama-sensei.
A: If it happens, certainly.
Q31 to Q38: Translated
Q39: In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, your favorite character is still Yuki the goat, right?
A: Wrong, it's actually a rabbit named Luna. I'm trying to keep Luna from moving out of my village now.
[T/N: In the NA version, Yuki is named Chevre, while Luna is named Ruby.]
Q40: [T/N: Translated, but he also adds that he uses his phone to surf the Internet.]
Q41 to Q43: translated
Q44: Have you ever joined the Health Marathon of the Watermelon and Yam?
A: No. I'm not good with marathons.
[T/N: Please click
this link to read more about the marathon.]
Q45 to Q48: Translated
Q49: What do I have to do to become someone as intelligent as Conan?
A: Please be diligent in your studies.
Q50: Is it tough being a mangaka?
A: It's very tough.
Q51: Which do you dislike more, going to karaoke with Conan, or going for a drive with Gin?
A: In this case ... going on a drive with Gin, because it's very dangerous.
[T/N: I forgot Conan was tone deaf. Does Gosho have something against music because in SDB 80+, he was going on about people being tone deaf. (Yeah, it could mean something other than tone deaf, but jeez. Everyone is tone deaf.)]
Q52: Does Aoyama-sensei like to eat rakkyou?
A: Yes. I eat them with curry. But compared to rakkyou, I like fukujindzuke more.
[T/N: Okay, they're talking about pickled vegetables here. Rakkyou is a type of Chinese scallion that's a Tottori specialty. Fukujindzuke is made out of different kinds of vegetables.]
Q53: Translated. Just wanted to leave a note that The Devotion of Suspect X is a part of the Detective Galileo series of novels by popular Japanese mystery writer, Higashino Keigo. The Galileo series (including that novel) has been adapted into a drama and movie series starring Fukuyama Masaharu.
Q54 and Q55: Translated
Q56: What's the theme of next year's movie?
A: It's not decided yet!
Q57: Won't Aoyama-sensei be the executive director of the 20th anniversary movie?
A: I won't be, even though I want to. I can't stop the serialization.
Q58: Are we not getting any more new FBI and CIA members?
A: Um ... how should I put it.
Q59 and Q60: Translated
Q61: Will Kaito Kid become a key player in the final arc?
A: Um ... what should I say. (laughs)
Q62: Translated, but Chinese version differs. So here we go again.
Q62: Do you have any plans for Uncle Shinichi and Aunty Ran to appear?
A: How should I say it. (laughs)
[T/N: The question is asking about Shinichi and Ran in their 30s, lol.]
Q63: When will you let Heiji properly confess to Kazuha?
A: Ahh. (laughs)
Q64: Tell me honestly, is Amuro a part of the Secret Police?
A: I'm surprised. Do you have ESP?!
[T/N: Different from the one in the first post, which should be Q65. But it shows that readers actually saw it coming.]
Q65: Translated as Q64 in the first post.
Q66 to Q79: Translated
Q80: Is Hattori Heiji-kun never going to appear in another BO case?
A: During the Halloween masquerade/costume party, he revealed his true identity in front of Vodka. That guy is really dangerous.
[T/N: Difference from the translation in the first post, because I think Gosho's talking about how Hattori revealed his identity in front of the other BO members. The last sentence, though, implies that Vodka's a dangerous person, and Hattori placed himself in danger.]
Q81: Why does Okiya Subaru not expose his neck?
A: Please read Shounen Sunday or the tankoubons.
Q82 and Q83: Translated
Q84: This is about Okiya. His glasses, and the way his eyes crinkle has changed many times over the course of the manga. Are there two or three people playing the role of Okiya?
A: No. Those change based on how I feel at the moment.
Q85: Please reveal more about Professor Agasa's house. If possible, Ai's room as well. Please tell us more about Ai's private life.
A: Eh, eh? Pervs. (laughs)
Q86: Translated
Q87: I wanna see Kyogoku vs Black Organization.
A: I want to read that, too. Kyogoku is pretty strong. In fact, his strength is ridiculous.
Q88: Translated
Q89: Were Heiji and Kazuha childhood friends because they lived near to each other?
A: They probably lived extremely near to each otehr.
Q90: Translated
Q91: At what age did Okino Yoko debut?
A: I think it was when she was young.
Q92: Will you draw more cases involving Hagiwara, Matsuda's colleague who was also killed in action?
A: I really want to. (laughs)
Q93: Translated
Q94: [T/N: Translated, but the Chinese version says Amuro-san and Date-san instead.]
Q95: Why does Kyogoku Makoto always have a bandaid on his face?
A: It's a part of his character. (laughs) The wound there won't heal.
Q96 to Q98: Translated
Q99: What is the real objective of the Black Organization?
A: Ehh? You're asking this?
Q100 to Q103: Translated
Q104: I can't imagine a scene where anyone from the Black Organization is arrested. It would be the best if Gin and Vermouth died in the end, wouldn't it? But I hope Amuro-san doesn't die.
A: Amuro ... I have no idea. What should I do. At any rate, please keep reading. Enjoy.
Q105: Translated
Q106: Please draw a shower scene involving Gin.
A: Ehh~~ (laughs) Please don't ask me to, you pervs.
Q107: I personally would like to have a great mind that works coolly like Conan's, and also a strong presence like Gin's that will heat up the story once I appear. The age Gin was at when he knew of the organization, and the reason behind his joining are things/stories that I would like to know. Please draw them.
A: Ah, right. I want to draw those.
Q108: In the finale, I think Conan will be fatally wounded by Gin.
A: (laughs) Eh? And that's the end?
Q109 and Q110: Translated
Q111: My friend says the Boss of the Black Organization is Conan.
A: Please say to your friend, "Are you an idiot!" Tell him he's wrong.
Q112: My mother says the Boss is Vermouth, but she can't explain why. Is she correct?
A: It's not Vermouth.
Q113: Translated
Q114: When Conan's identity is exposed, will he personally let Ran know?
A: How should I put it.
Q115: I want to read a case where Conan and Haibara are both adults.
A: There's a situation like that in the drama adaptation. Now that you mention it, I feel like drawing it too.
Q116 to Q120: Translated
Q121: Has the location where Conan and Ran met Sera been drawn before? Even for one moment.
A: It has never been drawn.
Q122: Translated
Q123: Won't it be interesting if Sera, who looks like a boy, appeared together with Eisuke, who looks like a girl?
A: I wonder what will happen.
Q124: Which do you not want to get in a fight with, Sera or Ran?
A: Both ... Well, Ran will have a panty flash moment, so it's not all bad; but if it were Sera's, it would be nothing but pain, so please give me a break.
Q125: Translated
Q126: [T/N: Translated, but the Chinese version's answer says, "I have no idea when I will draw that scene, but there may be some bright moments for her during the finale." Gosho already knows her ending, huh?]
Q127: I want to see a raburabu moment between Conan and Ai.
A: What should I do.
Q128: Please stop trying to kill Haibara.
A: Again, what should I do ... (laughs)
Q129: Even if it's just for once, please straighten Haibara's hair.
A: Why? If I did that, you won't be able to tell her apart.
Q130: Translated
Q131: Currently, what is Hondou Eisuke doing in America?
A: Isn't he working hard to get his green card so he can join the CIA?
Q132: Why don't you draw Ran's school swimsuit?
A: Just once is enough, I really want to draw it.
Q133: Please tell me a secret you'd never expect about Ran.
A: She likes Shinichi. You're not surprised, are you.
Q134: Please add more scenes with Ran in the shower/bath.
A: Perv.
Q135: Ran has gradually noticed Conan's identity, hasn't she?
A: How should I put it? Please continue reading and experiencing it.
[T/N: Different from first post's. It refers to Ran's realization, I think.]
Q136: Does the Mouri Detective Agency not allow pets? There could be a heartwarming story about Ran and a stray puppy ...
A: They already have Goro. Well, Taii is in Cafe Poirot, so maybe that's not such a good idea.
Q137: [T/N: Translated, but I just wanted to mention that the convenience store girl's name is Nanakawa Aya.]
Q138: Have you determined Shinichi and Ran's next meeting?
A: I definitely want to draw it in the future.
Q139: If I want to be someone as outlandishly strong as Ran, what should I do?
A: Please work hard at karate.
Q140: Can Conan find out what is Ran's favorite undergarment color?
A: He's a detective, he surely knows ♥
Q141: There hasn't been a kiss scene between Conan and Ran. Will there be an accidental kiss in the future:
A: It's already happened in a movie, right?
Q142 and Q143: Translated
Q144: Shinichi and Ran's wedding is going to be held at London's Holmes Museum, right?
A: Eh? You've already decided?
Q145: Who taught Ran how to cook? If that is the case, who did that person learn from?
A: Isn't she self-taught? Her mom is terrible at cooking.
Q146: Is there a city where you would like to have a case in?
A: Kawanakajima? I want to try drawing a murder case set there. I once thought of going there to gather relevant information.
Q147 and Q148: Translated
Q149: Will there be a story at a karate tournament that Kyogoku-san and Ran participated in?
A: I have thought about drawing a karate tournament.
Q150: Translated
/end.
