With Umandsf's permission, I've taken up running the DC Ending contest.  Although this one is starting a little early, the previous bout should be finished soon.

This week's contenders:
Round 1, Match 06

Ending #11
Start in My Life by Mai Kuraki

vs.

Ending #12
Always by Mai Kuraki
I don't know about you, but I'm voting for Mai Kuraki.  ;D

You've got five days to vote.  Get to it!

EDIT:  Mai Kuraki totally dominated Mai Kuraki in this round, leaving Mai Kuraki's entry standing triumphant overtop of Mai Kuraki's battered ending.  Congratulations to Mai Kuraki for this amazing win, and best of luck to her in the next round.
(Just watch..  Even with the change in tournament format, fate will probably end up pitting Always against Secret of My Heart just to be cruel)

Conan and Shinichi singing with a female voice at the end is one of the creepiest things to happen in this series.  :'(

Always is a better song anyway.

Btw: Is it just me or are 75% of the Conan OP/EDs sung by Mai, Rina or Garnet Crow?

Definitely Always. I really disliked Start in my Life's clip and song too. Always is so-so, but still better by lightyears than Start in My Life.

Grrr this is tough ;_;

I liked Always's chorus.
Start in my life is a nice song too.

Bleh.. I guess I'll go for Start in my Life, and vote for Always when we get to the movie endings. xD

Always. I like the song but definitely hate the animation.

Always.
I loved the animation and the music, plus it's one of the better Mai Kuraki songs.
(Better then SIML anyway.)

What Krisztina said. Always is not so great, but way better than Start In My Life.

Ironically, always was the first Kuraki Mai song I'd ever heard.  It was shortly after the single was released.  I didn't know at the time that it was used for Detective Conan.

Song wise, I do prefer always to Start in my life, but sequence wise, both are lackluster, so I'm going to have to pass on this.  I'd hate to vote based on song alone.  Seems it'd be biased to vote on that basis.

I don't care much for either song, but the animation for always was pretty mediocre imo so I went against it.

Voted for Always... Can't remember Start in my life... Always by (1) Erasure and (2) Atlantic Star (3) Bon Jovi also helped me choose... Always is a pretty abused song title, don't ya think?

If you don't remember Start in my life, why not click the link in the first post and watch it?

IMO, Start in my life is a good song, but the sequence is kind of a boring one...but always had a lackluster sequence as well, imo.
