Mai Kuraki holds the Guinness World Record for Most Theme Songs in a Single Anime Series at 76, and she performed in the Tokyo Anime Next closing orchestra concert in November 2026.
Mai Kuraki's recent activity centers on Detective Conan, the series that supplies both her record and her live appearances. In September 2026 she was named as the performer of the opening theme "Hallelujah" for the two-hour special Detective Conan: 30-go Satsujin Jiken, which aired September 25 at 9:00 p.m. on NTV and its affiliates' Kinyo Roadshow block. The special follows Conan and Heiji through a counterfeiting case that moves between the National Printing Bureau in Nagano and Osaka. The theme was one of several songs Kuraki has contributed to the franchise.
Weeks later, the record itself moved. Kuraki and the Detective Conan anime announced on Sunday, October 4, 2026, that she had broken her own Guinness World Record for Most Theme Songs in a Single Anime Series. The new mark is 76, set by "Ai de Zenbu Dakishimete Aishite," which premiered in the latest episode the day before as the show's 76th ending theme. She had first received the record in 2017 with 21 songs, so the count has grown with the series, which has run since 1996 without ending.
The most recent story puts her on a concert stage rather than a recording credit. Tokyo Anime Next ran in the Ikebukuro area from October 30 to November 2, 2026, and closed at Tokyo Tatemono Brillia HALL. The final day paired the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra with Kuraki, Nami Nakagawa, and Ai Higuchi on songs tied to Detective Conan, Demon Slayer, and Attack on Titan. The same event carried the announcement of the Japan Anime Awards, planned for a full-scale ceremony in 2027.
Across the three stories the picture is consistent: Kuraki's record and her Conan theme work are the constants, and the live orchestral date extends that catalog into a festival closing program. No story reports a new studio album, a tour, or a change to the record beyond the 76 figure.
