Producer Comments
Mr. Takeshi Yoshida (Yomiuri TV / Producer of "Detective Conan")
"Next year's Precure will be detectives."
It has been a year since I met Producer Tada. Thinking back to that day warms my heart. This is a collaboration between two works with different TV stations, production companies, and original publishers. Rather than the lack of precedent or the seemingly insurmountable hurdles, I first felt a strong conviction that "this is going to be interesting." I will leave the tough adjustments that followed to your imagination (lol). By the way, we included a message for Precure after the Next Conan's Hint, so please don't miss it until the very end. I'll show you a miraculous collaboration!
Ms. Kanako Tada (ABC Animation / Producer of "Star Detective Precure!")
"Please let us collaborate with 'Detective Conan' next year!"
It was one year ago when I barged into Producer Yoshida's office. I am truly delighted that we could make it happen in this way now. I knew there would be various hurdles. Even if it didn't work out, I was determined to give it my all and go for broke! However, after meeting the staff of "Detective Conan" and holding onto the thought that "making it enjoyable for the viewers is what matters most," we were able to reach this unprecedented collaboration.
Having watched "Detective Conan" live on terrestrial TV since I was an elementary school student, and seeing it loved for such a long period of 30 years, I am personally deeply moved and filled with gratitude. It is a collaboration filled with surprises and fun. Shocking at first, delightful inside, it's the Great Detective Collaboration!
