The next opening will be sung by VALSHE and is titled "Butterfly Core". It will air on November 16th with episode 718.

Sorry for a late update (been on vacation), but here is a YouTube link to make everyone's lives easier: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHe3Q8A66eA I still prefer Chicago Poodle's "Takaramono" to this song, but at least the animation is better than the last ending's.

I would like to point out a correction I made to the first post, as I had originally thought this ending would air for the last episode of the Mystery Train arc. The pre-release schedule listed the Mystery Train arc as 5 episodes long, but has since been confirmed to be only 4 episodes long (the originally planned episode "Releasing Smoke" appears to have merged with the last episode). The ending will air with the episode following the Mystery Train conclusion this week. Update: For those who want a preview of the title song for Chicago Poodle's new album, here's an MV of "Takaramono": That's quite a heartbreaking song, and I'm really liking the band. If CP can pull off a similar song for this ending and the animation director can pull together some good visuals, this might one of the better overall endings in long time.

(I apologize for the double post) New promotional poster and trailer! Poster: Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgV35w2_3Co The new trailer as well as extra info can be found on the official website (link in first post). It will be in theaters December 7th, 3013.

The 45th closing theme as been decided and will be titled "Kimi no Egao ga Naniyori mo Sukidatta", performed by Chicago Poodle. It will air with the 705th episode on August 10th.

A short trailer was just added to the official website. It has been uploaded to YouTube here --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqmM4yrsSHg

Here it is, the opening has been aired --> I have also put the link on the first post so anyone can locate it easily. Love this opening, especially considering it's probably the most Black Organization oriented OP we've had since OP22.

Above is the official announcement for movie 18, due to come out April 2014 as expected. This is just taken from the top portion of the "Lupin the Third vs Detective Conan: The Movie" announcement from Shounen Sunday. This post will be updated as more news comes in, most likely much later this year. Until then, feel free to post speculations and personal opinions, especially considering the producers now have two movies to juggle.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy4ZE0uuVk0 Link to full version of "One More Time", the ending theme of the movie for those who are behind on the news. I do have to say, the full version is much better than the small snippet in the trailer.

A Shounen Sunday leak yesterday and the preview at the end of Movie 17 today both announced that a new crossover movie of Lupin the Third and Detective Conan will come to theaters December 7th of this year. It will feature an all-original plot. Official movie website: http://lupicona-movie.com/

File 854 is now out as well. Manga discussions have been slow if not nonexistent, though I'll admit I myself am not helping the situation. The bartender is really pretty, I'll say that.

The Main Theme (Private Eye in the Distant Sea Version, of course) has been uploaded to YouTube.

The new opening for the series has been announced and will be performed by none other than DC theme veteran B'z! It will be entitled "Q&A" (I'm sure the thread title resulted in at least some minor confusion) and is part of a massive album called The Best XXV 1999-2012 that will be available on June 12, 2013. The opening will air on May 4th, though no episode title or summary for that day has been made public yet. However, as we close in on the [warning major manga spoiler here-->] Mystery Train arc, it's highly likely the opening will start when that arc does. After the unfortunate disbanding of Garnet Crow, I'm glad DC is falling back on familiar bands for now. I just hope they find some more better replacements as soon as possible. This first post will be edited as we get more news. Once again, thank you Skyechan for keeping the wiki up to date with music theme news. And a belated thank you for Opening 35 and Ending 44's addition to the wiki, because I think I forgot to thank you for those. You can now watch the opening here -->

I've been a Garnet Crow fanboy for such a long time and it's sad to see them go. They were and will always be my favorite Detective Conan band, and I wish all of them luck in the future. Wow, this is really sad. DC hasn't been bringing in very good bands and singers recently for their theme songs, and even Mai Kuraki had a very sub-par single for the current opening. Now that GC is pretty much out of the picture (we may have a last second OP or movie theme down the road), I don't know how things will turn out in the future. I should have seen it coming. Their recent concerts and albums were so symbolic.

Haha, the DC fandom seems to agree.
