It has been revealed that the band "King Gnu" will be in charge of the theme song "TWILIGHT!!!" for the latest movie version of the popular anime "Detective Conan" "Detective Conan: One-Eyed Flashback of One Eye". This is the first time that "King Gnu" and "Detective Conan" have teamed up, and they have written a new song. The latest trailer featuring the song has also been released on YouTube.
King Gnu's Daiki Tsuneta said, "I wrote a song called "TWILIGHT!!!" as the theme song for the movie "Detective Conan: One-Eyed Flashback." I am very honored to have been asked. The production team asked me to 'make it freely,' and I think I have created a song with a new approach that has not been seen in King Gnu's previous songs. I hope you will look forward to the song along with the movie. I am looking forward to the release!"
The film's producers, Kondo Shuho, Yoshida Tsuyoshi, and Okada Yuhei, commented, "The moment we finished reading the completed script, we already had an image in our mind that we wanted to ask King Gnu to perform the theme song. We had high hopes that the elements we wanted to express in this work, such as the melancholic human drama and mystery woven by Kogoro and the Nagano Prefectural Police, and the emotional snowy mountains, would be amplified many times over by King Gnu's original music. When we heard the audio, we were convinced that our thinking was correct, and we were even moved. It's a touching song that you'll want to listen to over and over again, so we hope you'll enjoy it at the theater as many times as you like."
"Afterimage of the One-Eyed" is set in the snowy mountains of Nagano Prefecture, and depicts the "sleeping memory" that connects two seemingly unrelated people, Kogoro, who is asleep, and Gansuke, a Nagano Prefectural Police officer. While Gansuke is chasing a "certain man" in the snowy mountains, a bullet grazes his left eye and he is caught in an avalanche. Ten months later, Gansuke miraculously survives and receives a report that a researcher at Nobeyama Observatory has been attacked by someone, and rushes to the scene, but as soon as the observatory's parabolic antenna starts moving, his one-eyed left eye suddenly begins to tingle. Kogoro Mouri and Conan are on their way to a meeting place with a former colleague from the Metropolitan Police Department who is investigating the avalanche accident, when a gunshot rings out.
"Detective Conan" is a manga that depicts Conan Edogawa solving difficult cases one after another, and began serialization in "Weekly Shonen Sunday" (Shogakukan) in 1994. A TV anime series has been broadcast since 1996. The total number of comics published is over 270 million.
The 27th movie in the series, "Detective Conan: One million dollar guidepost," released last year, broke the box office record of 15.8 billion yen, setting a new record for the highest box office revenue in the series' history. The 28th movie, "Afterimage of an Eye," will be released on April 18th at 522 theaters, the largest number in the series' history.
