Case

Situation

Part 1

Ran and Sonoko are getting ready to attend a huge concert by the very popular J-Pop band Two-Mix. Some hours before that, Conan and the Detective Boys go to a coffee parlor and meet a lady with sunglasses and a cap... who turns out to be the singer of the group, a woman named Minami Takayama whose voice is rather similar to Conan's.

At some point, however, Takayama gets outta the parlor and is confronted by two mysterious men in a car. She's then forcibly pushed into the backseat of the vehicle, where her partner Shiina Nagano is bound and gagged! The children witness this and notify Megure and Takagi, trying to help as much as they can to rescue the two artists...

Satoshi Miyahara

Satoshi Miyahara is the kidnapper who wants to destroy Two-Mix along with the song that they wrote because the lyrics coincidentally reveal the truth behind a murder that he committed. With some tricks from his cell phone, Conan is able to save the captured Detective Boys as well as the Two-MIX members.

While Takayama and Nagano are saved, they need some more minutes to get ready backstage before the concert. Conan manages to win them some time by grabbing a microphone and horribly singing from the back, until they're all set. Takayama happily pulls him and the Detective Boys with her, and they all sing together the song tha Nagano plays onstage for themm.

Trivia

• In the original (and e.g. the German version), Conan is seen at the karaoke box singing opening 1.
• The demo tape song's lyrics seem to be based on Two-Mix's song "Living Daylights".
• The song Two-Mix performs at the concert is "BREAK" from their "Fantastix" album. It has been dubbed into English, Galician and German in their own dubs.

Dub changes

• The names of the characters in the Funimation Dub are:

• TWO-MIX - TWO-TIMES
• Minami Takayama - Korma Delorica
• Shiina Nagamo - Karman Santher
• Satoshi Miyahara - Morshu Esterbaum

• The Funimation Dub names the manager of TWO-TIMES, Orpheus.
• Additionally, Funimation had "BREAK" completely re recorded with heavy modifications to the lyrics, with the voice actress for Conan/Korma doing the singing.
