Reader’s Question:
I heard that there are scenes in the anime Detective Conan where songs by TWO-MIX play. Is that true?
Discovering TWO-MIX in Detective Conan
So, I was recently diving into some Detective Conan episodes—just a casual binge, you know? It’s one of those shows that never fails to pull me
back in with its clever mysteries and quirky characters. As I was watching, I stumbled upon something I hadn’t expected at all: scenes featuring the music of TWO-MIX! I remember chatting with a friend about this band, and how they were a big deal back in the day. I mean, who could forget their catchy tunes? Then, lo and behold, there they were in Episode 81 and 82 titled “The Kidnapping of Popular Artists.” The moment I heard the song “BREAK” from their single “LIVING DAYLIGHTS,” I couldn’t help but smile. It was like a nostalgic trip back to my childhood, mixed with my love for anime. Now, I have to admit, I got a bit too excited when I recognized the music. I started singing along in my living room, much to the confusion of my child, who was probably wondering why Dad suddenly morphed into a karaoke machine. There’s something about anime and music that just hits differently, right? It’s like every episode carries a piece of the cultural zeitgeist, and for a moment, I felt like I was part of something bigger. Oh, and the fact that the voice actress Takayama Minami sings in the scenes just added that extra layer of excitement for me. It’s funny how something like a song can evoke such strong emotions and memories. I found myself reminiscing about going to concerts, laughing with friends, and even those late-night study sessions where TWO-MIX would be blasting in the background. It’s little surprises like this that make watching anime such a joy. They remind us of our own experiences and the connections we form through music and storytelling. So, if you haven’t checked out those episodes yet, I highly recommend it! Now I’d love to hear from you! Have you ever come across a song or a band in an anime that made you feel nostalgic?
