Detective Conan 30th Anniversary Special Drops with Mai Kuraki Theme

Detective Conan is marking three decades with a 2-hour TV special titled The 30th Murder Case, airing September 25. Mai Kuraki will perform the theme song "Hallelujah" for the occasion.

The special slots into the anime's 30th-anniversary celebration and features guest voice actor Elaiza Ikeda. Following the broadcast, a three-week consecutive airing of the manga episode Akaneiro no Senshuraku begins September 26.

For a franchise that has sustained itself across multiple decades and media formats, a milestone like this typically signals the kind of production investment that keeps a series relevant—and a Mai Kuraki collaboration suggests they're treating it as a genuine event, not just another episode. The back-to-back programming (special plus extended manga arc) reads as a deliberate push to hold audience attention across the anniversary window.
