Months later, the band's next single, "[[Yuruginai Mono Hitotsu]]", would serve as the second tie-in with the series for the year when it served as the theme to that year's annual movie, ''Detective Conan: The Private Eyes' Requiem''. The B-side to the single, "Kesshou", was announced as the theme to the Noriyuki Higashiyama detective drama ''Kuitan'', for which it accompanied all episodes of the series.
