On April 19th, a stage greeting was held at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) to commemorate the release of the latest movie version of the popular anime " Detective Conan " based on the manga by Gosho Aoyama , " Detective Conan: One-Eyed Flashback," with Minami Takayama, who plays Edogawa Conan, Yamazaki Wakana, who plays Mouri Ran, and Koyama Rikiya, who plays Mouri Kogoro, among others. In the movie version, Kogoro Mouri's activities are depicted for the first time in about 20 years since "Detective Conan: Strategy Above the Depths" released in 2005, and Koyama appealed, "There won't be any more! So please watch it." "I always drool, but this time I'll shed a tear," he said, and it seems that you can enjoy Kogoro Mouri's activities unique to the movie version, and expressed his expectations for his activities 20 years later, saying, "In 2045!"
Regarding Kogoro Mori's performance, Takayama commented, "I realized he was a capable person. Of course I know that. I have to praise him this time. He was really wonderful." Yamazaki, who plays his daughter Ran, said, "I saw the movie and thought he was cool. I wish his mother could see him like this..." Koyama nodded and said, "I feel sorry for him."
Also taking to the stage to greet the audience were Takada Yuji, who plays Yamato Gan's assistant role, Ami Koshimizu, who plays Uehara Yui, Takayuki Yamada, who plays Otomo Takashi, and Mizuki Yamashita.
"One-Eyed Flashback" is set in the snowy mountains of Nagano Prefecture, and depicts the "sleeping memory" that connects two seemingly unrelated people, Kogoro, who is asleep, and Yamato Gansuke, a Nagano Prefectural Police officer. While Gansuke is chasing a "certain man" in the snowy mountains, a bullet grazes his left eye and he is caught in an avalanche. Ten months later, Gansuke miraculously survives and receives a report that a researcher at Nobeyama Observatory has been attacked by someone, and rushes to the scene, but as soon as the observatory's parabolic antenna starts moving, his one-eyed left eye suddenly begins to tingle. Kogoro and Conan have arranged to meet a former colleague from the Metropolitan Police Department who is investigating an avalanche accident, and on their way to the meeting place, a gunshot rings out. The film was released on April 18th, and on the first day of release, it made a rocket start, grossing 1.05 billion yen and attracting over 690,000 viewers.
