Three of the DVDs were damaged and I'm going to return them. The discs were horribly scratched, so I tested them all in the DVD player to see if they would even play. It was then that I discovered that they did include "Nazo"!
I've done a little research, and it appears that the second OP, "Feel Your Heart", was skipped over and replaced with the first OP on all discs. I can't find an official reason for this anywhere, though I and others guess it's a licensing issue. "Feel Your Heart" was never one of my favorite songs, so that I guess I don't mind so much, even if it annoys the completist in me.
However, there is something that really bothers me, and that is the fact that the OPs aren't synched up with the animation properly. In "Nazo", for example, Conan will go through his little intro with the song playing in the background, but then, when the animation of the black-suited guy jumping out the window begins...the song starts over! WTF!
I don't know if this means they only got the rights for the full-length versions of the songs, which they then sloppily patched into the animation, or what. But it throws me off and completely ruins my enjoyment of the OP animation.
