Extra Q&A with Fujimaki and Takahashi
From the KuroSpo newsletter [Source]
Q. Truthfully speaking, how many times has Kagetora-san been to the cabaret clubs in Roppongi? Also, which other coach likes them too? (Ibaragi/Editor-in-Chief Asada)
A. Frequently, when he was younger. Only accompanying others, after he got married. Harasawa also goes quite often, but his chat up lines fall flat.
Q. Has Kiyoshi-sempai picked up any new hobbies to replace Hanafuda while he rehabs in the US? (Tokyo/Author H-bayashi S-wako)
A. MTG [Magic: The Gathering].
Q. How does Team Strky compare to the high school teams in terms of strength? And if the team members took part in a group date, who would be the most popular? (Tochigi/Deputy-Editor-in-Chief Shimada)
A. They’re all from national level powerhouse teams, so they’re on a similar level. We would have to have actual matches to find out exactly.
If they took part in a group date, the most popular would end up being Higuchi-kun by the process of elimination.
Q. Teikou basketball club went on a trip overseas, but do they go on school trips overseas too? Also, please tell me where the GoM’ high schools go for their school trips. (Yamagata/Satou)
A. No. If that were the case, I would be pissed off.
Seirin, Shuutoku -> Nara, Kyoto
Kaijou, Touou -> Okinawa
Rakuzan, Yousen -> Tokyo
It’s only a coincidence that two schools each go to the same place.
Q. Who from Seirin became the most popular after the Winter Cup victory? And did any of them manage to get a girlfriend like Tsucchi? (Kouchi/Shuuhei)
A. Kagami attracted the most attention because he stood out the most. They were all fussed over, but no one gained a girlfriend or anything. Furi’s situation is developing.
Q. What was Aomine’s reaction to Horikata Mai-chan getting married? (Akita/Fujiwara)
A. He put on a brave face and acted overly cheerful, throwing himself into practice as if to shake off something. Seeing him like that, Momoi thought to herself that things must be seriously bad.
Takahashi Ichirou (of ReplacePLUS)
Q. What is your favorite scene from Kuroko no Basuke? Also, what is your favorite episode from the novels? (Fukuoka/Soeda)
A. The double page spread from the first volume where Kuroko steals the ball from Kasamatsu. From the novels - “When the Kiseki change into yukata” of volume 3, and its extra episode, “Dai-chan’s Awakening”.
Q. Which KnB character are you the most jealous of? Please tell me why too. (Akita/Rokugou)
Kagami. It’s like he has it all.
Q. Has Fujimaki-sensei given you any advice about writing the spin-off? (Tokyo/Sakakibara)
I’m terribly sorry, but I’d like to keep that confidential. Not that there’s any significant reason or anything…
Q. Tell me what’s great about KnB. (Tokyo/Obuchi)
A. The numerous cool characters and ideas.
