Detective Conan: The Music



It's always a plus when a great series has great music to match. ^_^ Music, songs especially,
for Detective Conan are mostly a pleasure to hear and add another level of enjoyment.

To date there are 60 opening themes (OP) and 73 ending themes (ED), 5 original soundtracks
(background music = BGM only) and 28 movie soundtracks (nearly all BGM). There are some other
CDs: a BGM Best Selection (1997), a Song Collection (9 tracks, 1997), "The Best of Detective Conan"
(16 songs from TV & films) (cover pic above) and a couple other odd ones I'm not sure about.

December 2003 saw the release of Super Best #2 (collection of BGM tracks) and the second theme song (OP&ED)
collection CD. The first pressing of this CD came with a DVD which will have the textless versions of the OP&ED
songs that are on CD. Dec 13, 2006 is release for a Movie Themes CD... I'd rather have a Vol 3 of the OP and ED songs
CD instead. Vol 3 finally came out Aug 6, 2008. Best of Detective Conan is up to Vol 6 now (Mar 25, 2020 out).


The OP & ED songs almost always come out as CD singles.

I'm not sure how the connections exactly work between production studios & music companies,
but there's definitely a pairing up. Not always the case in the early years, but later on, all the OP&
ED for TV are done by artists under the GIZA Studio label. Just like will only find AVEX artists
doing shows backed/made by AVEX MODE (Inu Yasha, Hikaru no Go eg). No doubt why we'll
never hear Megumi Hayashibara (aka Haibara Ai) doing a song for Conan (she almost always does
songs for shows she's in) since all her music came out (pre May 2019) by King Records.

NOTE: Meitantei Conan TV and movies I'm only covering. Ergo, I'm not including the songs/music for the released in 2022
spin-off anime series Zero's Tea Time and Hannin no Hanzawa-san (The Culprit Hanzawa).

OPENING THEME LIST

My favourite song&sequence: "Nazo"
Least favourite: "Giri Giri CHOP" (Song is great but doesn't really suit DCN)
Did anyone else laugh way too hard upon seeing OP sequence for "This Love is Thrill, Shock, Suspense" for the first time? Conan Para Para dancing is just... WRONG ^^

* First pressing (limited edition) has the maxi CD and accompanying DVD. 4 tracks.
Full & TV size version of 100 Mono Tobira PLUS cover versions of Nazo and Still for Your Love.
GIZA-4070, 1500Yen. CD and DVD separetly will also be sold. Mono usually means thing or one
BUT is also used by women for emphasis, to stress a certain point/idea/what they are saying. So can't translate mono here literally.

Re-make of the 3rd OP, Nazo, Imy FAVOURITE Conan song. The re-make has a nice sequence, the music is similar, but the singing is inferior.

May 14, 2016: OP43 by B'z for the anime is the theme song for the 20th movie. The OP sequence is reflective of the movie and is STUNNING to watch!

Jan 5, 2019: 2 hr special (Ep 927-928) has a theme song by Kurai Mai: "Kimi to Koi no Mama de Owarenai Itsumo Yume no Mama Jairarenai"



OP23 CD/DVD single insert card... Conan and his secret weapon, his VOICE ^^

NOTE * : Kanji reads Chikyuu = Earth BUT Hoshi (usually means star) is used instead as the reading (listen to the song)... hello poetic licence ...

* Interesting... every other ending sequence cuts away to show images of the episode... not this one. I guess it would ruin
the point of this sequence (Shinichi & Ran picture on Ran's desk staying the same while the time keeps passing, only see items come and
go from Ran's desk = unchanging feelings/relationship and/or still waiting/keeping her faith in him/his return).

Some of the CD singles (first pressing) came with extras: Sticker or little picture cards (usually a still art pic from the sequence).
eg. "Winter Bells"

Unmei no Ruuretto Mawashite is a cover of Zard's OP... so all of 2016 is going to be like this for OPs and EDs, covers of previous songs? ~_~
