MIYANO: Kato has strong beliefs. He is a person who holds his ideals of justice very dear. He used to be the ace of the First Division but fell down all the way to the Modern Crime Headquarters. Because of that, he’s frustrated at the fact that he can’t do the things he wants to do. He’s a character who’s got a certain realism as part of the middle management (T/N: middle management people are not part of the top managers, they are their subordinates, but they are in charge of the actual workplace and have their own subordinates they are responsible for).

OONUKI: To someone like Daisuke who knows nothing of the everyday life of a normal person, Kato is someone who will make him grow more aware. I’m curious about how their relationship will evolve.

Q: As recording proceeds, what kind of opinion have you gained of this series?

MIYANO: Even if I’m the one saying this… our duo is pretty good, right?! (laughs) It feels really good! Daisuke and Kato’s personalities are opposites, but when we perform together, it feels just right.

OONUKI: Thank you. As for me, I really like the music in this series, it’s reaaaally cool! Music starts with such perfect timing that you unintentionally go “Wooh!”.

MIYANO: I totally get it!

OONUKI: Also the character design chosen by Sasaki-san is so cool. In the story, there is also a mystery that will be unveiled a bit at a time. The direction of Director Itou-san is also very stylish and exciting. And amongst it, there are parts that make you laugh, too. The balance is really nice, every recording session is fun!

MIYANO: At the end of every episode there is a receipt showing how much Daisuke’s investigations cost, and that’s exactly the type of entertainment the directing is going for.

Q: Miyano-san, Oonuki-san, the cast gathered in your group of voice actors is also quite amazing. Is there someone who left a strong impression on you when you were recording together?

MIYANO: Every character has a very strong individuality, so they all have a great presence, but I never thought in my life as a voice actor that I’d have the chance to record alongside Kamiya Akira-san (T/N: Cho-san’s voice actor, also Conan's Kogoro's VA and City Hunter's Saeba Ryou). I was so happy it felt like a dream. The weight and dignity of each of Kamiya-san’s words are just that great.

OONUKI:  I also wanted to talk about Kamiya-san. There are certain lines he said that are so very impressive they just remain with you. I was deeply moved by their power, the core of his voice.

MIYANO: He’s a very modest person and it was a precious experience to be able to be in the same workspace and witness the wonderful form of such a role model. Also, Shioya Kozo-san, who voices the chief, was also great. He made the chief sound kind but you also feel like he’s someone who is a lot wiser than everyone else (laughs). You will worry if this guy is okay, but at the same time, it feels like there is something hidden in his past… Even Cho-san, who at first glance sounds like an empathetic detective, the way he’s voiced by Kamiya makes it sounds like there is more to him after all. Each character has their own backstory, there is still a lot that hasn’t been revealed yet.

Q: I’m also curious about the AI butler that Daisuke has.

OONUKI: Through HEUSC, a terminal in the form of an earring, Daisuke can give out orders. Of course, payment of billions of yen, but speaking of technology, I’ve heard it’s also able to make gadgets a reality. I’m looking forward to all sorts of cutting edge gadgets that will appear from now on.

Q: At last, what are you two looking forward to, in regards to future developments?

MIYANO: I want to see more cooperation. This story is centered around Kato and Daisuke’s work partnership, but the scenes where they cooperate are still very few. I’m excited about future developments from now on.

OONUKI: When it comes to Daisuke, it seems like there is "something" concerning the Kambe family, so I’m looking forward to finding out what this mystery is.

MIYANO: (Once that secret comes to light) I want to see the moment in which the calm and collected Daisuke is shaken.

OONUKI: Oh, he will definitely get upset. (laughs)

MIYANO: So yeah, I am looking forward to recording for the second half of this season (T/N: he doesn't mean a second season or a second part, it's just that they still haven't dubbed half of the episodes).

Fun Fact: The old man yelling at Daisuke in EP1 is a cameo: he’s supposed to be Tsutsui-san (the author of The Millionaire Detective novel).

Translation of the front page (sooo much pandering, read till the end ahah)

One is unheard of, while the other is hot-blooded, one is an unconventional man and the other has a one-track mind, one is eccentric and the other is driven by common sense.

The brains who use freely infinite assets, and the brawn whose shoe soles grew thin because of constantly running around. Different in everything, the two detectives met on the crime scene. The two of them chase criminals in different ways. Where one of them gathers testimonies by bribery, the other is persistently on the lookout and gains information through his own efforts. A brand-new button-down shirt and a worn-out layered one.

One is the cool and collected Kambe Daisuke, who dashes forward with the classic car he just purchased. The other is the emphatic and hot-blooded Kato Haru, who rushes up to it with all of his strength.

The two butt heads, and have different opinions, each with their own way of dealing with things, they finally reach the truth. Their way of living, their acquired way of thinking, their chosen way of doing things, they’re different up until now.

But because they are so different, they fit together well.

The two of them, who may look too far-removed and yet they could be so close*, can face any case. When they establish an emotional bond and take each other’s hand, the door to the hidden truth will open quietly for sure.
