rumania montevideo -- Still for your love

 

As someone has commented for this video, the characters on the 90s version of the long-running anime "Meitantei Conan"(名探偵コナン)sure looked different back then. Yup, after the Holiday hiatus, "Case Closed" is back in its regular Thursday night slot on TV Japan

Ahh...this is more like it. Well, I'm continuing with the long line of Conan opening and ending themes, and I realized that rock band rumania montevideo's debut single was used as the ender for the series back. Released in April 1999, "Still for your love" is more in the alternative rock vein when compared to the other song by the band that I'd featured back in April 2020, "Koi Suru Betty"(恋するベティー)which had elements of Beatles and Tommy James and the Shondells.

With lyrics by rm drummer/vocalist Mami Miyoshi(三好真美)and music by brother and band guitarist Makoto Miyoshi(三好誠), I was able to track down the translation of the lyrics at the Conan Wiki, and they sound like hope trying to seep into a situation where a beloved one now has to be alone for some reason which can describe at least some of the characters in "Meitantei Conan" including the one and only Conan himself.

"Still for your love" broke into the Top 10, hitting No. 9. It is also included in rumania montevideo's debut album "rumaniamania" from June 1999 and coincidentally, it also hit No. 9.
