名探偵コナン 花冠 -flow in the wind-
I'm planning on getting Haibara theme nails done. I'm using these scenes/images as inspo. I'm excited to see how it turns out!
"In the studio, however, I depended on Minami Takayama, who plays Conan, for just about everything. She caught me up on anything I didn't understand or had missed in the story so far; thanks to her lectures, the recordings went smoothly. In the beginning, Ran Mouri and Kogorou Mouri didn't appear with Ai, so I spent my time as Ai with Conan and the Detective Boys for a while.
Then one day, I came into the studio to find that my usual seat was occupied by Wakana Yamazaki, who plays Ran. And she was talking to Minami like they were the best of friends! Wakana and I are good personal friends now, too, but…I wonder why I felt so defeated at the time. Ah, so that was never my seat to begin with… It's been hers for years…
Belatedly, I became painfully aware I had joined a series that had already been running for a long while, so I sat down silently in a chair far away, although I made sure it was within the pair's view (very immature, I know). But Kenichi Ogata, the voice actor for Professor Agasa, called out to me, "Ai-kun, I saved you a seat." He had already entered the studio and put his belongings on the chair next to him. And Ikue Otani, who plays Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, exclaimed, "Ms. Haibara, Ms. Haibara!" and sat down beside me, too, so I had the doctor on my right and Mitsuhiko on my left. This pleasantly warm seating arrangement continues to this very day."

"Having played Ai for so long, I am the most surprised by how she's transformed. At first, she was haunted by her past, trembling in the shadow of the Black Organization she once served and forever treading the line between life and death. But thanks to the earnest and unconditional love she feels from Conan, the professor, the Detective Boys, and her other friends, she's slowly begun to change. In recent years, she even worked with Kogorou to investigate Ryuusuke Higo; she's started expressing both her happiness and anger more freely; and where she used to simply pass on all sorts of things, now she's become a sort of guardian angel for the detectives.
At first, I was confused and even worried about Ai's transformation. How much emotion should I put into her voice? But maybe she didn't really change at all, and this is actually her true self? When it occurred to me that perhaps we're getting a glimpse of Shiho Miyano, the person she was before she got involved with any drugs or crime syndicates, then I was able to accept it.
What made me realize this was the movie Countdown to Heaven, which I both loved and hated. The idea occurred to me during the scene when Ai visits her late older sister Akemi Miyano's room and listens to her answering machine message.
When this movie was released in 2001, smartphones and photo attachments weren't nearly as common as they are now, so Ai's one and only tool for remembering her sister was that answering machine message. And since Ai took the drug to turn herself into a child and barely escaped from the organization with her life, of course she wasn't able to bring any physical mementos to remember her sister by, so the message that begins with "Hello, this is Miyano" must be truly dear to her heart.
All that's left is the recording of her voice.
"She just can't answer the phone right now."
“Maybe she'll call when she gets back."
Ai tells herself this imaginary story, knowing all too well that it isn't true, as she thinks of her lone sister."
