Detective Conan’s Shuichi Akai Design Humidifier Paper Helps Keep the Air Moist

16.April.2021 | ANIME&GAME / FASHION

The new Detective Conan: The Scarlet Bullet anime film will be released on April 16, 2021. In promotion of its release, Japanese fashion magazine CanCam is coupling its June issue, which releases on April 23, with a humidifying paper featuring the series character Shuichi Akai.

CanCam readers happen to be huge fans of Shuichi Akai, who is an FBI agent in the series. Using the paper humidifier is simple: all you need to do is put water into a cup and submerge it which will help keep the air in a room moist. And since it’s just paper and water, no electricity needs to be used, making it an eco-friendly product.

 

There are two designs, one of Shuichi Akai on his own and another with his family. The Shuichi design has hearts on it while the Akai family has flowers which makes it a great decoration around the house too.

 

 

Conan-lover and Japanese comedian Chika Tanabe to be featured

Japanese comedian Chika Tanabe, who is a member of the Japanese comedy trio BOLJUKU, will feature in the June issue of CanCam where she will talk about her love of the Detective Conan series. For her feature, she has dressed in Akai’s trademark hat and jacket and has curly hair to create a feminine Akai look. 

Her obsession with the series came about when a friend invited her to the movie theatre to see the anime film Detective Conan: Zero the Enforcer back in 2018. She said the experience made her life brighter. After watching the series’ previous film Detective Conan: The Fist of Blue Sapphire in 2019, she was inspired to visit Singapore where the film is set despite only earning a several thousand yen during her job as a performer at the time. She upped her shifts at her part-time job to earn more money, saying, “I worked hard for Conan on my poor savings!”

 

Speaking about her favourite character, Tanabe said: “I call myself a girl child. I really love Amuro [Toru], but when someone asks who’s my favourite, that’s the hardest question. Watching the latest film, I found myself saying that Akai is super cool too.”

  • Mobile Game Identity V Starts First Collaboration with Detective Conan

    06.November.2021 | ANIME&GAME

    Netease’s asymmetrical competitive mobile game Identity V has just started its first collaboration with ultra-popular anime and manga series Detective Conan! In the past, the game has already held crossover events with a number of popular franchises, such as Danganronpa, Persona, Edward Scissorhands, The Promised Neverland, and Death Note. Given that the game is all about solving a murder mystery, it makes sense that Conan would be the next best choice!

     

    Detective Conan is one of the most popular manga series of all time in Japan, with over 250 million copies in circulation as of 2021. The story follows Shinichi Kudo, a high school detective who sometimes works with the police to help solve cases. Attacked by members of the Black Organization crime syndicate, Shinichi is forced to ingest a potion that transforms him into a child! Adopting a pseudonym and keeping his true identity a secret, he continues to solve crimes and help bring peace to the people of Japan. 

     

    Identity V features gameplay for five players. One player, the hunter,  is tasked with eliminating the other four players, the survivors, before they complete their objectives. During this collaboration, each player character will be clad in Detective Conan costumes as they solve the mystery before it’s too late!

     

    Four rare skins will be available: a lawyer costume (Kogoro Mori), an air force costume (Ran Mori), a perfumer costume (Shiho Miyano), and an office outfit (Heiji Hattori). A collaborative gift pack is also available in the game’s store and will feature two more exclusive costumes–Shinichi Kudo and Conan Edogawa. The pack will also include doodles, mobile icons, and more digital goodies. 

     

    The game is free to play on iOS, Android, and PC, so be sure to grab it now!
