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.

Translation changes
Anime
- 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.
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, German and Italian in their own dubs.
- This is the first episode with Two-Mix.
- Interesting note: Minami Takayama from Two-Mix is also the voice of Conan Edogawa.
- This is the second episode to include at a Karaoke Bar or Box scene, the first being Karaoke Box Murder Case, although Conan never sang in that previous episode.
- The opening scene began with Conan singing, which backed up A June Bride Murder Case in the fact that he is tone-deaf, or can't carry a tune, although he sure sings confidently.
- Interesting Note: Although Conan hates hide and seek, he never thought of ditching the Detective Boys rather than ever look for them.
- Apparently Conan never heard of Two-Mix, as can be deciphered when he really has no idea who Ran and Sonoko are talking about.
- When a disguised pop star bumped into the Detective Boys, and all five of them fell down, Genta said, "You should look where you are going?", although none of the 3 front kids were paying attention either. Conan would probably have seen if the other three were not in his way at the time.
- Mitsuhiko is the one who noticed Conan and Minami's identical voices.
- This is the first kidnapping that the Detective Boys see.
- This is the first episode that the kidnappers demand the children make the drop, allthough they will later demand that it be done by just one of the children. Even though Megure was hesitant about placing the children in danger, the four kids unhesitantly agreed to make the drop to save the stars.
- The original airdate for both parts were in November, 1997, although the demo tape song mentioned lines like "Running past the violent 1996" and "Running into the bright 1997."
- This is the first episode, if not the only time that Ayumi dresses like Conan, and Conan dresses like Ayumi. This way he can make the drop for her.
- Ayumi was about to do the smart thing, and give Megure those Criminal Tracking Glasses, until Genta and Mitsuhiko stopped her since they have virtual stars in their eyes, and were greedy for the credit of saving the duo, so they decided not to.
- This is the first case where Conan actually shot a culprit with his Stun-Gun Wristwatch. Every other time it was used in the past was to create a Deduction Mouthpiece. In short this is the very first time that it is used as a weapon. In Conan Edogawa Kidnapping Case, it was deactivated it, before he could use it against his kidnappers, who happened to be his own parents.
- In Japan, or at least Tokyo, you dial 119 for Fire, and 110 for Police.
- Surprisingly, even though Conan activated his right Power-Enhancing Kick Shoe, and ran to the door to kick with the same foot, the shoe did not break the door this time.
- In this episode, even though a kidnapper shot a gun, they were aiming at gasoline, in order to create a fire for mass murder, and attempted to kill Two-Mix, and all 4 Detective Boy Kids.
- This is the first case, if not the only one which the Earring Cellphone was used.
- This is the episode that a culprit was knocked unconscious by a number of golf clubs or pipes.
- After Mitsuhiko and Genta were messing with the lights and the sound, Conan grabs the microphone, and lyrics and begins his off-key, tone-deaf singing, which begins to anger the crowd even more, until Minami shows up.
- Minami walked on stage, while singing, holding Conan's hand, and Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi followed suit, each of them holding a microphone. Eventually all of the children joined her in singing onstage.
- Although it is called a Martial Arts Hall, it does have a stage and proper lighting for a musical concert.
- The episode ended with Two-Mix taking a picture with Inspector Megure, Detective Takagi, and the Four Detective Boys.
- This is the first episode that Ran and Sonoko saw Conan appear on stage, if not the only time.
