Have there ever been post 90s interviews with Toriyama on his creative process?

There are some interviews with him from the heyday of DBZ on this side, but has he ever spoken on how he handled his creative stuff in Super for example? We know he works with Toyoraro and that Toriyama basically comes up with the ideas but it all still seems pretty vague and doesn't go in depth on his whole creative process.
I was watching an interview with J.K. Rowling on how she handles her creative process and these interviews can be so interesting and informative. In a way they both build their own worlds with unique rules and characters. It's fascinating. To learn about Toriyama and how he handled it would be equally informative. There are some interviews surrounding the releases of the recent movies but even those seem more fluff and don't go in depth.

Closest I can recall was around the time he was making (I think it was Jaco) digitally drawn manga and the struggles with that.

The bits we get (from toyotaro) about the fixes and suggestions from Toriyama are pretty insightful tho.

There have certainly been plenty of interviews post-Dragon Ball (most of which we've prioritized and kept up on in our "Translations" section), but there's very little in the way of what you're looking for.

Perhaps the most notable is one from JUST AFTER Dragon Ball finished: the WIRED interview that's usually only referenced for the "poison" comment. This is a great interview because it's outside of the standard Shueisha-overseen promotional fluff that you reference, and the interviewer actually gets a chance to do follow-up questions and really dive into his answers.

Maybe another good example (and sadly one of the last ones) is the Q&A within the kanzenban release of Sand Land... he does somewhat get into the nitty-gritty on a few things there, albeit not to any huge depth.

There have been some other modern-era interviews, like his 2018 joint interview with Takehiko Inoue and his 2023 interview with Kazuhiko Torishima... but even these are more of a "greatest hits" style of story-recounting, more than anything truly in depth about process and storytelling.

I've talked about the similarities between Akira Toriyama and Stephen King a few times, so something I'd recommend is actually King's On Writing -- there really is an amazing amount of crossover and writing process similarity between them, that I think it can help bring another angle of new appreciation to Toriyama's work, even if from the viewpoint of a totally separate kind of storyteller.
