Yuruginai Mono Hitotsu (ゆるぎないものひとつ, One Sure Thing) is the forty-first single by B'z, released on April 12, 2006.
Prior to the single's release, the song could be heard in theaters in the year's annual Detective Conan movie, The Private Eyes' Requiem. The song was the band's second contribution to the franchise for 2006 after "Shoudou" served as a theme to the television series earlier in the year. Previously, B'z had contributed themes to the 1999 and 2002 films, with "ONE" and "Everlasting" respectively.
Both the title song and B-side were collected later in the year on the summer's album, MONSTER. Additionally, both songs were performed at all stops of B'z LIVE-GYM 2006 "MONSTER'S GARAGE" and were included on its subsequent video release. In 2008, in celebration of the band's twenty-fifth anniversary, both songs were again collected together when they were voted by fans onto B'z The Best "ULTRA Treasure". "Yuruginai Mono Hitotsu" was also found on The Best of Detective Conan ~The Movie Themes Collection~ in 2006 and The Best of Detective Conan 3 in 2008. Later, in 2013, it was also found with other era-appropriate singles on B'z The Best XXV 1999-2012.
-- The song also served as the theme to a TV commercial by the mobile ringtone company DWANGO, who were also promotional partners for a special live concert later in the year.
