Main Theme (Detective Conan)-Katsuo Ohno

This week’s upload is everyone's favorite Detective Conan Main Theme!

This particular theme is playing in the background whenever Conan is capturing a culprit in the climax scene (usually by kicking something very, very hard). Basically: This is the piece where “One Truth Prevails!”

I have been improvising this piece many times in my live concerts, but for this week, I decided to arrange an official version for YouTube.

After researching a little bit on YouTube, I was surprised that the Main Theme is arranged differently for each of the 23 Detective Conan Movies. Each version features different instrumentation, slight melody modifications and a unique bridge part. Most of the time the main melody is being played by the legendary Saxophone, but there are also versions being played by the trumpet, electronic guitar, violins, horn, and so on. It was really hard to choose from all these variations so I have come up with an arrangement that represents three different versions.

The first intro pattern is probably the most well-known one, since it's also used as the Main Theme in the TV series (and also in Movie Nr. 4). The second intro in 01:06 has a unique flowing movement and it has been featured in only three movies (5, 6, and 9), but it's my personal favorite pattern.

And finally, the third intro pattern is being introduced in 02:11. It's probably the most popular variation so far, because it has been used in more than 10 different movies so far. Especially the rhythmic energy is very addicting and that's why I used it as the final intro pattern for this Main Theme arrangement.

Unfortunately, I couldn't include any bridge part for this arrangement because there are simply too many variations to choose from. I think I will just improvise the bridge part for my future live concerts then.

Well, that’s it!

I hope you enjoyed my piano arrangement of Detective Conan Main Theme with the three different intro patterns!
