FUNimation version
FUNimation did not adapt this particular opening song for their English release of the show. Although the uncut Japanese version appears on their DVDs the song doesn't sync up quite right with the animation. The version used on the FUNi releases is not as up beat as the original version. This is most likely because FUNimation did not receive the licensing rights to the specific cut of the song that was used for the original version of the show, so they used the album cut instead.
Synopsis
Conan Edogawa is slowly walking toward the camera, appearing out of the mist, while telling you a brief summary of the episode that will begin. We see several images of Conan and then we see him in space, similar to the first opening. Conan and Ran Mouri appear looking at a landscape, the scene then switches to Ayumi showing Conan a picture she drew, depicting himself. Mitsuhiko and Genta look annoyed at Conan, and then Sonoko says something that makes him blush.
The scene switches to Ran and Sonoko Suzuki singing in a karaoke club, then Mitsuhiko and Genta sing, followed by Ayumi and finally Conan, but when he starts to sing, everyone is treated to his usual tone-deaf voice.
Juzo Megure, Wataru Takagi, Hiroshi Agasa and Mouri Kogoro look around to Conan running up towards them, watching as Ran is kidnapped by a man. Conan uses his High Intensity Shoes to kick a ball and knock out the kidnapper.
We then switch to a shot of Conan and Shinichi on opposite sides of a mirror, spinning dramatically. Then a super-imposed, strangely-lit Ran appears, holding the mirror. Lastly we see a four-panel cut of Kogoro, Conan, Shinichi and Ran's eyes, and the song ends.

Lyrics
Zutto kimi wo mite ita
Naze na no konna ni shiawase na no ni Suiheisen wo miru to kanashiku naru Ano koro no jibun wo tooku de mite iru sonna kanji
Unmei no ruuretto mawashite Arekore fukaku kangaeru no wa mystery Hora Unmei no hito wa soko ni iru Zutto kimi wo mite ita
Hoshizora wo miagete uinku hitotsu de Kono takai tokoro kara demo tobesou jan Supiido age Bouenkyou wo nozoitara Mirai ga mieru yo
Unmei no ruuretto mawashite Doko ni ikeba omoide ni aeru? Aoi chikyuu no chippoke na futari wa Ima mo shinka shi-tsuzukeru
Unmei no ruuretto mawashite Tabidatsu toki no tsubasa wa bravely Hora Donna toki mo kouun wa matte 'ru Zutto kimi wo mite ita
Zutto kimi wo mite itaI was watching you all the time
Why is it that in spite of me being this happy Gazing at the horizon makes me sad? It feels as if I'm looking at the me from that time from faraway
Spinning the roulette of destiny These and those things that I think deeply about are Mysteries Look, the person of my destiny is there I was watching you all the time
Looking up at the blue sky with a wink It's like even from this high place, I can fly If I bring up my speed and look through a telescope I can see the future
Spinning the roulette of destiny To where I go can I meet my memories? The tiny us on the blue Earth Are still evolving now
Spinning the roulette of destiny Wings of when I depart are bravely Look, at anytime luck is waiting I was watching you all the time
I was watching you all the timeずっと 君を見ていた
何故なの こんなに 幸せなのに 水平線を見ると 哀しくなる あの頃の自分を遠くで 見ている そんな感じ
運命のルーレット廻して あれこれ深く考えるのは mystery ほら 運命の人はそこにいる ずっと 君を見ていた
星空を見上げて 笑顔(ウインク)ひとつで この高い所からでも 飛べそうじゃん スピード上げ 望遠鏡を 覗いたら 未来が見えるよ
運命のルーレット廻して 何処に行けば 想い出に会える? 青い地球の ちっぽけな二人は 今も 進化し続ける
運命のルーレット廻して 旅立つ時の翼は bravely ほら どんな時も 幸運は待ってる ずっと 君を見ていた
ずっと 君を見ていた
