	In 1996, Katsuo Ohno composed the [["Detective Conan" Main Theme]]~~. This main theme is the version~~ that ~~was~~ widely ~~played on media and~~ recognised by almost everyone. Ohno ~~composed the music~~ based on a work ~~of his~~, Taiyō ni Hoero! Main Theme.

	Later~~, within the same~~ year, Ohno sequentially released three soundtracks~~; all of the~~ music ~~collected within was~~ exclusively for the series~~, even though some of~~ the ~~music found in the 2nd~~ album ~~was~~ left unused. ~~Within~~ these ~~music, many classic-famous soundtracks with great symbolism~~ of ''Detective Conan'' ~~are found, such as~~ {{nihongo\|Ran's Theme\|蘭のテーマ\|Ran no Tēma}}, {{nihongo\|Carefree Feeling\|のんびり気分\|Nonbiri Kibun}}, {{nihongo\|Depressing Sunset\|沈む夕陽\|Shizumu Yūhi}}, and {{nihongo\|The Mysterious Bandaged Man 1\|怪人包帯男１\|Kaijin Hōtai Otoko 1}}, etc.		Later that year, Ohno sequentially released three soundtracks, featuring music exclusively composed for the series. Some tracks from the second album, however, were ultimately left unused. Among these compositions are several pieces that have become symbolic of ''Detective Conan,'' including classics like {{nihongo\|Ran's Theme\|蘭のテーマ\|Ran no Tēma}}, {{nihongo\|Carefree Feeling\|のんびり気分\|Nonbiri Kibun}}, {{nihongo\|Depressing Sunset\|沈む夕陽\|Shizumu Yūhi}}, and {{nihongo\|The Mysterious Bandaged Man 1\|怪人包帯男１\|Kaijin Hōtai Otoko 1}}, etc.

	In 2007, the music production company responsible for the series was changed from '''Universal Music''' to '''Being''' (now known as '''B ZONE'''), thus Ohno released a new CD called [[Detective Conan TV Original Soundtrack Selection Best]]. Most likely, because of the company name's alteration, Ohno had to make new arrangements for almost all ''Detective Conan'' soundtracks in anime (some were abandoned as a result), and to differentiate the two separate soundtracks, the newly arranged ones will be marked with '07 in the tail end. For example, the melody line of {{nihongo\|Conan's Victory\|コナンの勝利\|Konan no Shōri}} is played by brass instruments, while the melody line of {{nihongo\|Conan's Victory '''{{red\|'07}}'''\|コナンの勝利'07\|Konan no Shōri '07}} is played by percussion instruments. Now, the older versions of the soundtracks are completely deactivated, and the '07 sets are in use.

	In 1996, Katsuo Ohno composed the [["Detective Conan" Main Theme]]. This main theme is the version that was widely played on media and recognised by almost everyone. Ohno composed the music based on a work of his, Taiyō ni Hoero! Main Theme. The instruments utilised are mostly analogous; for example, the drum kit was used to keep the rhythm; bass was mainly played continuously in the background, serving as a [[wikipedia:Basso Continuo\|Basso Continuo]]; keyboard as harmony accompaniment; and most importantly, the saxophone as the main melody voice. Apparently, '''Detective Conan Main Theme is a variation of the Taiyō ni Hoero! Main Theme'''.		In 1996, Katsuo Ohno composed the [["Detective Conan" Main Theme]].

Afterwards, he entered [[wikipedia:ja:京都市立下京中学校\|Ikubun Junior High School]] {{jp\|京都市立郁文中学校}}.

	In 1996, Katsuo Ohno composed the [["Detective Conan" Main Theme]]. This main theme is the version that was widely played on media and recognised by almost everyone. Ohno composed the music based on a work of his, Taiyō ni Hoero! Main Theme. The instruments utilised are mostly analogous; for example, the drum kit was used to keep the rhythm; bass was mainly played continuously in the background, serving as a [[wikipedia:Basso Continuo\|Basso Continuo]]; keyboard as harmony accompaniment; and most importantly, the saxophone as the main melody voice. Apparently, '''Detective Conan Main Theme is a variation of the Taiyō ni Hoero! Main Theme'''.		In 1996, Katsuo Ohno composed the [["Detective Conan" Main Theme]].

	Later, within the same year, Ohno sequentially released three soundtracks; all of the music collected within was exclusively for the series, even though some of the music found in the 2nd album was left unused. Within these music, many classic-famous soundtracks with great symbolism of ''Detective Conan'' are found, such as {{nihongo\|Ran's Theme\|蘭のテーマ\|Ran no Tēma}}, {{nihongo\|Carefree Feeling\|のんびり気分\|Nonbiri Kibun}}, {{nihongo\|Depressing Sunset\|沈む夕陽\|Shizumu Yūhi}}, and {{nihongo\|The Mysterious Bandaged Man 1\|怪人包帯男１\|Kaijin Hōtai Otoko 1}}, etc.		Later, within the same year, Ohno sequentially released three soundtracks; all of the music collected within was exclusively for the series, even though some of the music found in the 2nd album was left unused.
