I'd have to say that these are two of my favorite endings for both song and sequence.

For Secret of my heart...what can I say, great song and one I was listening to way before I even knew it was used for Detective Conan.  Kuraki Mai and Utada Hikaru were pretty much my introductions to J-pop artists.  Anywho, the sequence for this ending very nice too.  A nice little montage of all the events which led up to how things were at the time.  The best part, though, is when Ran is singing along, and how Shinichi becomes Conan.  To be honest, for that part alone made it for me.  So, the song and the sequence goes very nicely together.

For Natsu no Maboroshi, another one I absolutely love, especially the song (and to date, I'd have to say that out of the Garnet Crow songs used for endings, this one is my favorite).  I found the artwork very nice for the sequence.  To me, Shinichi waking up, opening the door and facing himself was a nice set up.  I also liked all the "Ran memories", so to speak from Shinichi's point of view and I like how it ends with that photo of those two when in the play.  Just like with Secret of my heart, the music and the sequence complement each other very well.

It's a tough decision, but I'm going to have to go with Natsu no Maboroshi for this one.

I like the guitar intro in Natsu, so...I guess it wins :/

[Abs.]

Although something about Ran's expression while singing is weird to me.

You and I are on the same page on this.

To me, Shinichi waking up, opening the door and facing himself was a nice set up.

It's like I'm looking into the mirror...



I liked Secret through and through except for the part mentioned above, but I really like the lyrics and the above-mentioned setup of Natsu.

So really it's these two points warring against each other.

I'll go with Natsu.  It's more upbeat.

Incidentally, it's Maboroshi.

Oh my Gosho you just HAD to get back to me after that insanely easy opening round ;_;

Both the songs are my favourites, Secret of my Heart is a really pretty song especially Ran in the end. [lol lip-syncing]

Natsu is nice too, Shinichi is sooo cute *-* Man I love Garnet Crow's lead singer!

I pass this one. ;_; When are we getting to Yumemita Ato de? I remember it was against a ZARD song? *too lazy to look at bracket*

Edit: Voted for Maboroshi!

[takiko]

These songs were two of my faves.

Toughest decision I made so far...

Voted for Natsu no Maboroshi. Shinichi's serious and sleepy face beats Ran's "singing".

Wow umm yeah I had a difficult time choosing between these, I ended up choosing Secret of my heart

I just found out that Kuraki Mai recorded an English version of Secret of My Heart!

Check it out!

And Secret of My Heart wins a nice healthy victory.  Yay!
