Don’t Wanna LieB’z
A B’z song that passionately proclaims the strong resolve to never lie to oneself at life’s pivotal moments.
Released in June 2011 as their 49th single, it was used as the opening theme for the anime Detective Conan and as the theme song for the film Detective Conan: Quarter of Silence.
Koshi Inaba’s heartfelt lyrics and Tak Matsumoto’s dramatic melody—crafted to resonate on both television and in the theater—perfectly align with the protagonist’s pursuit of truth.
The track is also included on the album C’mon and the best-of compilation B’z The Best XXV 1999–2012.

This is a track by Mai Kuraki where a cool city-pop sound fuses with rock’s intensity.
Released in October 2023, it was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime Detective Conan, marking her 26th tie-in with the series.
It captures a frustrating love that seems mutual yet feels one-sided, vividly portraying the earnest desire to define that ambiguous relationship.
The rapid-fire chorus, delivered in a rush, feels just like a racing heartbeat.
Also included on the 2024 EP “forever for YOU,” this song gently gives a push to anyone who wants to close the distance with someone they like but can’t quite take that final step.

Timelinedps
The theme songs used in Detective Conan are all really cool, aren’t they? This one is another cool opening song.
Maybe to match the tension in the music, the visuals show Ran searching for Shinichi, giving it a slightly serious vibe.
Whenever this song plays, I can’t help but have my attention drawn to the TV.
impulseB’z
This is a song that gives powerful voice to a driving impulse.
It portrays a protagonist who awakens in the quiet and gradually realizes the importance of loving someone.
True to its aim of being “adult rock,” the stripped-down, minimalist arrangement is striking.
Its running time—just 3 minutes and 14 seconds, the shortest among B’z singles—is also notable.
Released in January 2006, it was used as the theme song commemorating the 10th anniversary of the popular anime Detective Conan.
It overlaps with Conan’s relentless push to solve cases, hinting at a dramatic unfolding.
It’s a track that gives you a gentle push forward when you become aware of the feelings hidden within yourself.
