＜Below are the full commentaries＞
【WANDS】
Around the time when WANDS had reunited, the members who received the request for 「Detective Conan」 began brainstorming what songs to use. We had created a few songsmatching the inspirations from Detective Conan and the new image of the reunited WANDS and the song that was chosen this time was 「Makka na Lip」.

The tempo of the songs which had various developments and progress fit the image of Conan solving the difficult case. The lyrics might sound a bit too mature for Shinichi and Ran.

Some of the members have been watching the anime series and the movies since 「Detective Conan」 started. We’d also like to talk about that another day.

【SARD UNDERGROUND Vo. Shinno Yua】
It was like a dreamwhen we received the request to handle the ending theme, since 「Detective Conan」 was the anime that I watched a lot since I was young and I often hear the Conan's ending theme that was sung by ZARD.

「Sukoshizutsu Sukoshizutsu」 was completed with the unreleased lyrics by ZARD's Sakai Izumi. When I first heard the lyrics and melody, I was overwhelmed by feelings of speechlessness which made me tremble. I am really glad that this song was completed and all the Conan fans will be able to hear it.
