girigiri chop (ギリギリchop, on the edge chop) is the twenty-sixth single by B'z, released on June 9, 1999.
Both songs from the single were used in the Detective Conan series as tie-in promotions. "girigiri chop" served as the television series' opening theme from May through November of 1999, while "ONE" was the ending theme to the franchise's third film, Detective Conan: The Last Wizard of the Century, the same year. In addition to being collected on various B'z compilation albums, the songs have been found on theme collections for the series as well: both appeared on The Best of Detective Conan while "ONE" appeared on The Best of Detective Conan ~The Movie Themes Collection~.
In 2013, "girigiri chop" was one of four B'z songs to be released for guitar-learning video game Rocksmith 2014 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. The song was packaged in a three pack of downloadable content alongside "juice" and "Easy Come, Easy Go!", joining "ultra soul" that was already available with the game itself.
