Ahh, it feels good when a deduction hits just right. As I thought in part one, the second part of this interview was indeed with the leading voice actresses from both series! That being said, it's not actually labeled as part two and is very short... which may be because they can't say too much without spoiling things (this is being written right before the Precure side airs), so I wonder if there will be a follow-up after both sides air?
In any case, the same rules apply. No reposting without our permission; please let us know if there are any issues with the TL, etc.

Q: Can you tell us your thoughts when you first heard of this collaboration?
Takayama: My initial thought was, "Wait, is someone going to transform? Is it going to be Ran-neechan? Jokes aside, I didn't think a crossover that transcends both TV stations and animation studios would ever happen. This is truly an event that'll make history. I'm so glad to work alongside Precure which has been beloved for so long. See, I was a Precure myself once. (Although it was a dark one.) I was really looking forward to seeing what kind of episode it'd be and how the two great detectives would interact.
Q: When you were doing the voice acting for Star Detective Precure was there anything in particular you kept in mind?
Takayama: No matter where or when the situation, characters remain the same, so there wasn't anything in particular I honed in on as far as voice acting. If there's anything I'd have to note, it'd be my microphone work. We recorded the episodes in their respective recording studios. Since it was my first time in that place, I wasn't familiar with the procedures, so I was slightly nervous. Doing the recording itself was fun, and we had lively chats during breaks.
Q: Could you provide a message to the viewers who are looking forward to the episodes?
Takayama: Thank you for all of your support. I'm sure everyone was just as surprised as we were to hear about this crossover. Just how will both of these great detectives appear and exist in each other's respective 'verses? It goes without saying that the deduction scenes will be incredible! Please enjoy this deductive collaboration between detectives as they traverse different words than usual.

Q: Can you tell us your thoughts when you first heard of this collaboration?
Senga: Truthfully, ever since I knew the title of this series would be Star Detective Precure, I've thought it would be amazing if we could somehow be involved with Detective Conan in some way someday! So when the producer told me about this crossover, I couldn't help but let out a loud cheer! And then when I learned I'd be in Detective Conan as Cure Answer, I was thrilled and honored to be working alongside well-known and admired senior voice talent.
Q: When you were doing the voice acting for Detective Conan was there anything in particular you kept in mind?
Senga: Precure appearing in the world of Detective Conan is an exciting development, but I tried to portray Cure Answer in a way that melds seamlessly into the setting of Detective Conan while retaining the quirks that make her unique. So it's Cure Answer, but she's a little different than usual? Perhaps you might see a side of her that's different than usual!
Q: Could you provide a message to the viewers who are looking forward to the episodes?
Detective Conan and Star Detective Precure are both series that represent the best of their respective worlds as well as the best of each other's, so I hope fans will check out both series. Bear witness to the miraculous moment where two master detectives from different worlds work together on a once-in-a-lifetime deduction!

It's been a year since I met Tada, the producer of Precure, and they revealed, "The next Precure will be a detective," and thinking back to it warms my heart even now. There's no precedent for a collaboration between two series that are not only on different channels but different animation studios as well as original publishing studios. It looked to be an impossible ask, but I was convinced that the resulting product would be really fun, and I kept that thought forefront during the process. I'll leave the difficult background work to realize this crossover to your imagination (laughs). By the way, there's a message to the Precure after the "Next Conan hint" segment, so stay tuned until the very end, and you'll see a truly miraculous collaboration!

I asked Mr. Yoshida last year, "Please let us do a collaboration with Detective Conan next year!" And I'm truly overjoyed that this collaboration has actually happened. There were tons of hurdles to get this far, and even if it didn't work out, I wanted to be sure I put everything I could into my efforts. That being said, I was only able to realize great crossover after meeting the staff of Detective Conan and keeping in mind that the most important thing is that the fans enjoy the shows. I've watched Detective Conan as it aired on TV for 30 years and loved it. So I'm personally filled with a sense of gratitude. The crossover is filled with surprises and fun moments...it's shocking at first, hilarious as it goes on...this is our crossover with Detective Conan!
