■ Finally, wouldn’t you mind if I ask why you put characters from “T.P Bon” written by Fujiko F. Fujio in the latter part of the film?
"T.P Bon" Volume 1
written by Fujiko F Fujio

Y: Not at all. I needed a character who keeps a very close watch on growth of Nobita, because that is a story about his growing. However, there should not be his mother in the world 70,000 years ago. Instead of the mom, we had to put another female character. So I took out a female one from “T.P Bon.”
■ Ah, I agree that is why Ream, not Bon the main role of the manga, talked to Nobita.
Y: Right. Some said that I must have put Ream in the film because she was established as a girl who lived in 2016. But I was in ignorance of the setting at all.
■ Oh, great! It means the anime movie was born supported by an invisible hand of the late big master, Fujiko F Fujio. Shall we call it a day? Thank you very much, sir.
Y: Thank you very much.
