The latest film in the popular anime series "Detective Conan," based on the manga by Gosho Aoyama, "Detective Conan: Fallen Angel of the Highway," has launched a fan-participation promotional initiative called "Wind Project." The project is based on the latest film's main character, Kanagawa Prefectural Police Traffic Mobile Unit police officer Chihaya Hagiwara, and is said to be a "Limit Break Promotion," a limit-breaking promotional initiative that will create a Conan whirlwind.
An unusual statement was released by the production committee, revealing that the promotional concept is "fan! x FAN! = FUN!" This is the first time in the history of "Conan" that the promotional policy has been revealed to the public. It expresses the production committee's desire to work together with all "Conan" fans, including the cast and staff, more than ever before to promote "Detective Conan."
The fast-paced "Kaze no PV" was also released on YouTube. Chihaya's powerful line, "Let's go, boy!", signaled the start of the Kaze project.
As part of this project, an official LINE account for "Detective Conan" has been opened, and instead of holding a preview screening before the film's release, a fan meeting will be held at a location in Yokohama on April 4th. This will be the first outdoor fan meeting. In addition, various other projects will be planned, including a special collaboration with Yokohama City.
The film features a police motorcycle called "Angel" equipped with the latest technology and a mysterious, out-of-control "black motorcycle." Conan, Ran, Sonoko, and Kogoro head to Yokohama's Minato Mirai area, where the Kanagawa Motorcycle Festival, a motorcycle festival, is being held, with motorcycle enthusiast Sera Masumi. The mysterious, out-of-control "black motorcycle" appears, jumping over the car Conan and his friends are riding in. Chasing it is Hagiwara Chihaya, the "Goddess of Wind" of the Kanagawa Prefectural Police Traffic Mobile Unit. After a fierce car chase, Chihaya's motorcycle is completely destroyed, and she narrowly misses the target.
Later, when Conan and his friends arrive at the festival venue in Yokohama, they find that the latest technology-equipped police motorcycle, "Angel," is being unveiled. Meanwhile, information comes in that a runaway "black motorcycle" has appeared in Tokyo, this time escaping pursuit by the Metropolitan Police Department. The motive for the runaway motorcycle is unknown, but Chihaya notices that the body of the motorcycle closely resembles "Angel," and memories of his younger brother, Hagiwara Kenji, and his colleague, Matsuda Jinpei, come to mind. Release date: April 10th.
"Detective Conan" is a manga that depicts Conan Edogawa solving difficult cases one after another, and began serialization in "Weekly Shonen Sunday" (Shogakukan) in 1994.
