Japanese singer Mai Kuraki has made history again with Detective Conan, breaking her own Guinness World Record for the most theme songs performed by one artist for a single anime series. Her latest contribution brings her total to 30 theme songs, further cementing her long-standing connection with the popular mystery franchise.
Kuraki achieved the milestone with “Ai de Zenbu Dakishimete Aishite”, translated as “Hold and Love Me with Your Love.” The song serves as the 76th ending theme for the Detective Conan television anime and debuted with the series’ latest episode on September 26.
Kuraki also announced that the new song completes her personal “30 YEARS × 30 SONGS” milestone, connecting her three-decade music career with her history with the anime.
Mai Kuraki First Set the Record in 2017
Kuraki’s relationship with Detective Conan dates back to 2009, when she performed “Secret of my heart” as the anime’s ninth ending theme. She continued returning to the franchise with additional opening and ending songs over the years.
Her first Guinness World Record recognition came in 2017, when she reached 21 Detective Conan theme songs. The record has now grown by another nine songs, taking her total to 30.
Guinness World Records officially lists Kuraki for the record of most theme songs sung by the same artist for an animation series, highlighting the unusual longevity of her partnership with the franchise.
The achievement also arrives during a major year for the anime. Detective Conan celebrated its 30th anniversary in January 2026, having originally premiered in Japan on January 8, 1996.
New Conan Song Gets a Digital Release in October
“Ai de Zenbu Dakishimete Aishite” is scheduled to receive a digital release on October 10. Kuraki will subsequently expand her collaboration with the franchise through a new compilation album.
Kuraki Mai x Meitantei Conan Collaboration Best 30 -Kimi ga Itekratakara, Uta ga Aru- is scheduled for release on November 11 in both limited and regular editions. The album collects 30 songs connected to Kuraki’s extensive history with Detective Conan.
The limited edition is priced at 5,940 yen, while the regular edition costs 4,290 yen.
The new ending theme is also being promoted through a clean version of the Detective Conan ending sequence, giving fans a chance to experience Kuraki’s latest contribution without episode credits.
Detective Conan Continues Its 30-Year Run
Created by Gosho Aoyama, Detective Conan follows Shinichi Kudo, a teenage detective who is transformed into a child after being poisoned. Under the alias Conan Edogawa, he continues solving cases while searching for a way to restore his original body.
The manga began in 1994, two years before the television anime premiered. The series has since become one of Japan’s most recognizable mystery franchises, with its long-running anime continuing to introduce new generations of viewers to Conan’s investigations.
Kuraki’s new record adds another milestone to that history. With 30 theme songs connected to the series, her music has become an enduring part of Detective Conan’s three-decade television legacy.
