The band was formed in 1987 and this is the first time that they have provided a song for the Conan anime franchise. “We are surprised ourselves, ‘Spitz would sing a song for Detective Conan?'” Vocalist Masamune Kusano said. “I think Conan is an epic love story before it is a mystery, so we created this song with the image that it can be a ‘sad love story’ or a ‘thrilling action story’. Also, some people ask me, ‘The Shogakusei (elementary school student) in the lyrics is Conan-kun?’ That is ‘Showakusei (asteroid),’ so please do not make the mistake.”

The site introduces the film’s story as below:
This time’s location is set in the sea near the Hachijo-jima island, Tokyo. Engineers from around the world have gathered for the full-scale operation of “Pacific Buoy,” an offshore facility to connect security cameras owned by the worldwide police forces. A test of a certain “new technology” based on a face recognition system is underway there.
Meanwhile, Conan and the Detective Boys visit Hachijo-jima at Sonoko’s invitation and receive a phone call from Subaru Okiya (a graduate student in the Graduate School of Engineering at Tokyo Metropolitan University, who is an FBI agent Shuichi Akai and a black-robed organization’s Rye) informing them that a Europol employee was murdered in Germany by the Black Organization’s Jin.
Conan, who is disquieted, sneaks into the facility and finds that a female engineer has been kidnapped by the Black Organization…! Furthermore, a USB drive containing certain information in her possession ends up in the hands of the organization… A black shadow also creeps up on Ai Haibara (Detective Boys’ Ai Haibara / Shiho Miyano / the Black Organization’s Shelly)…
