Highlight #5: Actually, it rarely appears! You can see Shinichi and Ran in middle school!
There’s a scene in “Score of Fear” that features Shinichi and Ran in middle school. In fact, episodes from middle school are extremely rare in the 20+ year history of Detective Conan!
What’s more, the story goes, “We were quarrelling and going home from school together when we heard the beautiful Amazing Grace, and we both listened to it. Why are we going home together when we’re fighting? I think many fans might have agreed with Sonoko Suzuki’s comment, “I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do that. And later on, it was revealed that it was Reiko Akiba who was singing Amazing Grace at this time.
The mystique of how a casual encounter is connected to the present may be a common feature in anime, but the fact that it was triggered by Reiko Akiba’s “wonderful voice”, a characteristic unique to her, makes the scene even more impressive and gives a sense of destiny.
It’s also an important point that leads to the reason why Conan would go to such lengths to protect Reiko Akiba, and it’s also a brilliantly important point of casual foreshadowing recovery.
Highlight 6: The theme is music! A fresh take on a subject so far removed from our tone-deaf protagonist!

The setting of “Sheet Music of Fear” is a music hall called Doumoto Hall. The opening of the film begins with students from the music academy playing their instruments, then a famous organist plays the pipe organ in the hall, and the famous Stradivarius violin is played, and so on and so forth.
Since Detective Conan is a mystery, there have been many situations in the past such as the sea, the sky, and the island with a history of rumors, but this kind of solemn setting has rarely been seen before because Conan is a child and Kogoro Mouri, the detective, loves horse racing and idols and does not fit in well with the more formal settings.
Moreover, the protagonist, Conan, has such a good singing voice that his childhood friends Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki, and Ayumi Yoshida, an elementary school student, proudly call him “tone-deaf”.
Even though the protagonist has that singing voice, “A movie about music in ‘Detective Conan’! Many people may be surprised to see this movie. Perhaps the fact that the Conan films are produced by a Conan staff that understands fan psychology and keeps up with the unexpected is the reason why fans have loved them for so many years.
Highlight 7: The killer has “compassion”. Sympathy for humanity
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
The murderer of “Fear of the Score” is the director of Domoto Hall. The motive for the murder was to take revenge for the murder of his son. And he even targeted people who had nothing to do with his son’s murder because someone with absolute pitch was in the way of his trick. Reiko Akiba was relentlessly targeted for her life because she has absolute pitch. However, the killer didn’t kill Reiko Akiba when he could have, and the method of abduction of Conan and Reiko Akiba was also a laborious and potentially life-saving method of putting her on a boat and floating her in a lake. Why is that?
That’s because Reiko Akiba was her son’s lover. The killer couldn’t help but be able to erase the person and voice that his son loved and loved to sing.
Another target of the murderer, after his son’s revenge was finished, was Domoto, the man in charge of Domoto Hall, where Reiko Akiba’s opera was held. Although Domoto had nothing to do with the death of the murderer’s son, he was holding a grudge against him because “I was the tuner who supported Domoto for thirty years, and I cannot forgive him for suddenly retiring without any consultation, and for making him the director of Domoto Hall, which has nothing to do with tuners.
However, Domoto explained the reason for this: “I felt your tuning skills were deteriorating, little by little. But I didn’t feel like hiring a different tuner, so I decided to retire and ask you to be the director of the museum.
In the real world, no warmth would be given to a person who commits a murder, and the motive for committing a murder would not be forgiven for “hurting my pride”. However, Detective Conan is a fictional story. The good thing about “Fearful Score” is that you can feel a little bit of compassion for the humanistic criminal, who can’t kill the man his son loves, or who regrets that he almost killed his dear business partner, whom he supported for 30 years by mistake. The story has more depth than the “he’s a bad guy by any means” criminal.
Summary
It’s a controversial movie, but the more times you watch it, the more addictive it becomes. If you don’t like it much, give it a try again, you might like it more than before.
