Detective Conan OP #31 is 45th Number One Single of B’z

The 49th single of Japanese rock duo B’z Don’t Wanna lie, which includes Detective Conan’s 31st opening theme song of the same name, was released on June 1, 2011 and debuted at first place on Oricon’s singles sales ranking chart, selling 169,000 copies in its first week of release.

This is the 45th B’z single in a row to debut at number one on the chart. The rock duo’s first number one single was Taiyou no Komachi Angel, released in June 1990. Don’t Wanna lie has renewed the records of the most number of number one singles and the most number of consecutive number one singles, both of which were already held by B’z.

The song Don’t Wanna lie is the 31st opening theme song of the Detective Conan anime, and also the theme song of the 15th Detective Conan movie, Quarter of Silence. Sales of this single has kicked off to a great start, as it has sold 39,000 more copies than the 130,000 copies sold in the first week of B’z's previous single, Sayonara Kizu Darake no Hibi yo, released in April this year.
