Hello, this is Aoyama!
Aoyama Gosho
Congratulations and thank you for reaching 100 million movie viewers!
Coincidentally, the “Million Dollar” in the title of this year’s movie is roughly 100 million yen, so maybe that’s how it was destined to be… Huh? Is it more than 100 million yen because the yen is weak? Don’t say such stupid things (laughs)
Thank you everyone for your continued support.
Minami Takayama
Over 100 million people? The sudden good news made me freeze for a moment. It feels like we’ve received proof that this is a truly national anime, and I’m really, really moved.
The Conan family continues to run, supported by everyone’s love for Conan. Next year, the year after that, and beyond… we will do our best and put all our love into delivering works that you will want to watch over and over again and be immersed in this world forever. We hope that you will continue to play catch-up with us in the future with the love of Conan.
The 100 million audience figure is approaching the population of Japan, and is a feat worthy of being called a national work. The “Doraemon” and “Godzilla” series also crossed this 100 Million Attendence. It’s a record, but breaking through with the 27th work is the fastest record ever!
Producer Toho
Attendance exceeded 100 million people! Congratulations!
Producers Hideho Kondo, Takeshi Shioguchi, and Yuhei Okada
Even when I watch the memorial movie, I can feel the love for the history and the works that have been accumulated so far.
Detective Conan, which we have loved and watched since we were children, is very moving to be able to work on the theater production as an adult as a member of the staff.
We will continue to work hard to make movies that everyone from children to adults can enjoy!
