Blue Harmony, a restaurant where you can enjoy live music and gourmet dining. In addition to a performance by a world-class violinist, the restaurant has scheduled a mini-game event. Appearing at the restaurant are Heiji, Kazuha, and Momiji. Meanwhile, Heiji, who has a nagging suspicion about the legendary violin, is secretly in contact with Conan. Everyone is enjoying the music and gourmet food, but something seems off, deepening the mystery. Can you find clues in the restaurant and get to the bottom of the case?

Set along the lagoon, the restaurant exudes a luxurious ambiance. Upon entering, the sound of elegant jazz music fills the air. Shortly after being seated, characters like Heiji, Momiji, and Kazuha make successive appearances. While the trio engages in lively conversations, a violinist is spotted on the terrace, where the enchanting music resonates. In the midst of savoring gourmet dishes, famous melodies like Canon are performed at each table right before your eyes. At the same time, watching the interactions between Heiji, Kazuha, and Momiji while enjoying your meal is also delightful. Heiji and the others occasionally sit in vacant seats and enjoy the music side by side with the guests. Their behavior is like that of friends who came together with you, creating an immersive experience.

Furthermore, on each table, there was a puzzle related to musical notes hidden on the lunch mat. Using this, the violinist converts the guest's favorite food into musical notes and performs it. There's also a scene where Momiji elicits from the guests, saying, "Ms. Smith mentioned she likes 'chocolate'!" and calls out the name of the chosen audience member. For fans, the scene where Conan's character calls out their own name is the ultimate spectacle.

When the main dish arrives, the monitors scattered throughout the restaurant are utilized and Momoji started to explain the dishes. Of course, the background music is performed live by the violin. There's also a time to take photos with Heiji, Kazuha, and Momiji, and it would be even more enjoyable if you decide on poses in advance. While other groups are taking group photos, the violinist circulates, providing hospitality, leaving no room for boredom. However, afterward, an incident occurs with the violinist. Guests, along with Heiji, Kazuha, and Momiji, collaborate to solve the mystery.

The finale includes a detective show, action sequences, and the appearance of Conan, culminating in a spectacular climax. The live performance of THE iconic theme adds to the excitement, offering an irresistible experience for fans of the original work. The clever use of monitors to keep track of characters, even when they are at a distance, is a commendable aspect.

This restaurant not only immerses guests in the world of “Detective Conan” but also allows them to savor high-quality course meals accompanied by live violin performances. Truly an extraordinary moment. Frankly, considering the content, the pricing is exceptional. The emotionally charged songs played even after the performance, like “Unmei no Roulette Mawashite” and “Natsu no Maboroshi,” contribute to a blissful time until the very end.
