In celebration of the premiere of the 26th Detective Conan movie, “Black Iron Submarine,” the official YouTube channel posted a cover of the 60th TV ending theme, “Sissy Sky" by Ai Haibara’s voice actress, Megumi Hayashibara, sung as her character. The ending theme of course, is themed around Haibara, as is the most recent movie.
The original video on YouTube is region-locked and appears to be only available for a limited time only until May 7, so here’s a mirror.
The official Twitter announcement included a message from Haibara herself:
Congratulations on the release of the anime-based movie, “Detective Conan: The Black Iron Submarine,” as well as File 1111 of the original manga.
This is the one year where I can’t be in hiding too, so I’m even doing my best to move around as much as I can.
While making an effort, I was able to experience recording a cover for the first time.
I was very nervous, but the entire staff was kind, and moreover, the original artist of the song, Airi Miyakawa, even came to support me, which made me very happy.
You might say, that I did this to prevent Edogawa-kun from singing, right...? Haha.
Please listen to the song, “Sissy Sky,” covered by me, Ai Haibara.
News - After 33 years of voicing the iconic Sanrio character in Japan, voice actress Megumi Hayashibara (who you probably know better as girl-type Ranma, Lina Inverse, Rei Ayanami, Faye Valentine, and MANY others) is retiring as the voice of Hello Kitty. No word yet if that means her recorded dialog for Kitty will eventually be replaced at Sanrio Puroland in Japan, or who will take over this iconic roll from now on. Thank you for your years of work as Hello Kitty, Megumi-san!
Just a littel bit of classic anime for your timeline as I try my hand at posting on this site for the first time in years.
I love me some Slayers, and I love me some Lina. She's pretty hard to draw though, but i Finally feel like I can pull her off decently.
Likewise to instantly recognizing Midorikawa Hikaru in his first episode of Detective Conan, I had an almost instant recognition of Megumi Hayashibara (Haibara) as well. Just from the way she said "Bingo!"
The Slayers brain rot is also real and cannot be underestimated.
