Snippet of what director Nishitani Hiroshi said about Yukaoru
For me, I didn’t create Galileo content with the thought that “these two (Yukawa and Utsumi) have absolutely nothing romantic going on between them.” The fact that two people, who are such polar opposites of each other, could solve problems together from the same point of view using different approaches, means that their hearts and thoughts are linked, because it’s impossible to achieve something like this otherwise.
Yukawa says he’s not good with children because they’re illogical. But Utsumi operates on her detective’s intuition, which in itself is an illogical thing, and he’s willingly worked with her for so many years. That’s evidence that Yukawa can handle Utsumi very well.
On the other side, Utsumi is the one who respects Yukawa, his thoughts and ideas most, and understands best Yukawa’s sense of justice but also tenderness as a scientist. Yukawa is the person with whom she can be totally, purely herself.
So when these two debate fiercely, as an outsider one would think that they’re bickering and flirting. Isn’t it a blessing to hear the audience say, “Just date already!” ?

A, C, N, O?
A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.
Royai (Roy Mustang/Riza Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist) and Yukaoru (Yukawa Manabu/Utsumi Kaoru from Tantei Galileo), always. I guess I’m also enjoying watching Shen Wei pine at Zhao Yunlan in Guardian??
C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.
...I think I have ignored ships I don’t like so hard that I’ve forgotten they exist. I can’t think of any immediately. I’m sure they’re out there, though.
N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).
lol, what is my main fandom anymore. This blog is a mess. I guess I wish there was more stuff for some of the lesser known/older series that I like?? The Last Dragonlord by Joanne Bertin has all of like... six posts on tumblr. Tops. But it’s one of my comfort reads and I love it, and I wish I had more people to talk about it with. Ditto for Twin Signal. I wish I saw more... I dunno. I’m pretty easy to please when it comes to fandom stuff, really.
O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?
Blood by Abandoned Pools - while I’ve wanted to make an AMV of Galaxy Railways to this song for ages, it actually reminds me more of Sirius Black...

Kofuku Radio Night One (12/09/2022)
F: Special radio show for the premiere of “Silent Parade” on 16th September, starting now!
(Clapping)
F: I am Fukuyama Masaharu and I play Yukawa Manabu.
S: I am Shibasaki Kou and I play Utsumi Kaoru. And we’re on air!
F: This show is a mix between a radio show and a TV show.
S: Yes.
F: This is my home ground!
S: Your radio shows are recorded here aren’t they?
F: Yes, I go to work here.
(Laughter)
F: The new Galileo movie is premiering on 16th September, and in this show, we’ll be talking both about the movie and ourselves.
(Title card)
F: We have messages from our fellow cast and crew on set.
S: So they will be exposing secrets? 😉
F: Exposing? Well maybe 😂 First let’s watch this message from Kitamura Kazuki, who plays Detective Kusanagi.
K: Masha-sama, Kou-chan, hello! I’m Kitamura Kazuki. Now that you ask me what wishes I have… well me, I really want to become a singer. I wonder if I can join you both as KAZUKI-… You both must be thinking that I’m joking aren’t you? But look into my eyes…
I’M SERIOUS
PLEASE
(😂😂😂😂)
F: So that’s the message. He’s actually talked about it before during filming.
S: Yes!! He wants to make music.
F: He said that he wants, for once, to stand on stage and sing in front of an audience.
S: Yeah, and we all said that he should.
F: I was thinking when would be a good time to invite him to be my guest in my concert. 🧐🧐
S: !!!! Really!!!!😆😆😆
F: Well he really wants to!
S: I want to see this!
F: You do?
S: Of course I do!
F: 😆 Do you want to come along?
S: To sing?
F: Yes.
S: Huh? Not to watch?
F: No x3
S: But I want to watch in the audience.
F: Well then you can watch in the audience, then think, “Oh is it my turn now?” then come up and sing.
S: Ok that’s possible…
(Laughter)
F: We formed KOH+ because of the TV series, but our first concert (debut live) was in Tokyo Dome. (Translator notes: 2017 Kanpai Japan live. Performance included in one of the deluxe versions of the new album)
S: 😂😂😂😂
F: *markets the new album*
F: Kou-san's performance of "KISSして" was mesmerising. I could watch it on loop.
S: Really? I haven't really watched it though.
F: What?
S: Perhaps I should buy the album. (amused Masha noises) There's so much KOH+ content in the new album that I want to enjoy as an audience.
F: (salesman mode) We have 3 versions of the album, please consider.
S: Yes, yes I will go over all of them.
(Translator: top notch sales act here huh! but I'm too poor to buy the deluxe version guess I'll never watch the special live :( )
F: Change of topic. This is a message from crew member edachin. I am a big fan of Ms. Shibasaki.
S: Really? (looks around)
F: My daily motivation is to become a man worthy of Ms. Shibasaki. To make sure that I am on the right track, I would like to know what Ms. Shibasaki's type of man is.
S: So the writer is here in the studio?
F: Maybe?
S: Isn't that great?
F: (looking around) Wait who is it? How old? Is he young? (laughter)
Panel Master: late twenties
F & S: OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
F: Worth thinking over.
S: Great!!
F: (sincerely advising) Go for it, Kou-chan go for it!
S: Go for what!😂😂
F: So passionate even in the late twenties!
S: I'm so happy!
F: What a passionate fan letter, love letter! So what's your type?
S: I'm sapioromantic.
F: What's that?
S: It means that you get charmed by one's intellect... say like, you Masha with glasses.
F: OH
S: Someone like Yukawa sensei. Someone who digs into the whys and researches things. I find that very charming.
F: So you like researchers?
S: Love it. My type is like Takeshi Yoro (an intellectual and doctor)
F: Cool. Beauty and the Scientist.
S: Yeah, but I don't think it's a good match. Cuz I'm an intuitive person.
F: But that's probably the reason. Imagine two intuitive people together, that's no good.
S: True, but when one suddenly has an idea and goes YAY!!! it's great.
F: It's great if they agree on these sudden sparks, but if they each have a different idea and go YAY!!!
(matching hand gestures by F&S) separately, they'll split.
S: So with someone who thinks in a different way, someone can step on the brake.
F: So that's the end of the first night. We have a guest tomorrow night. See you next time!

Snippet of a road trip fic I am never writing:
Utsumi: So, do you know how to do anything creative? Write?
Yukawa: I write.
Utsumi: I mean, like stories. Or poetry? Anything creative like that.
Yukawa: Not like that. Do you? Write poetry or stories?
Utsumi: *thinks about answering honestly and then loses courage* I keep a journal. Maybe.
Yukawa: *now knows she does and doesn't pursue further* There are other creative endeavors. You have a nice voice.
Utsumi: There's no way you're getting me to karaoke.
Yukawa: I wasn't suggesting it.
Utsumi: *now a dog with a bone* Do you sing? Or play an instrument, then?
Yukawa: I know how to play an instrument.
Utsumi: Probably perfectly, right? Another hobby of yours? What do you play?
Yukawa: Guitar. Imperfectly.
Utsumi: *feeling she's won something* Cooking is more your forte, huh.
