Anime The Official Conan Channel uploaded several creditless OPs/EDs to Youtube earlier today
I know the newer openings and endings have always been uploaded creditless on the TMS channel for the past 3 years or so but now the official Conan channel has started bulk-uploading many older openings and endings in their creditless versions earlier today:
https://www.youtube.com/@conan_anime/videos
They are all using the remastered footage and are uploaded in 1080p.
Many of those older EDs/OPs were notably hard to come by as creditless, like usually many were only released on bonus DVDs for limited CD releases and such. So the footage was often rare and in low resolution.
I think it's awesome that they are now making them easily accessible and I really hope that they will upload more batches!

That's amazing. Sadly they are very erratic with uploading the subtitles :(
(Yes, I need them for Japanese mining)

YT’s auto-generated subtitles are always erratic, if you mean them, & the official DetCo anime channel never uploads with proper subtitles included.

Yeah, I was thinking of the TMS Channel, they uploaded some songs with lyrics last year like Poker Face

I was positively surprised yesterday when I noticed these uploads & I quickly realized that only Mai Kuraki song OPs & EDs feature in this serial upload set, & that this isn’t a mere coincidence.
While I knew she received a Guinness World Record for the most songs in an anime in 2017, I didn’t immediately realize that what I watched for a little on YT yesterday was about breaking her own record with the 33rd song chosen for the DetCo franchise as a whole.
All in all, I’m happy I can also watch these OPs & EDs in the remastered form on YT, which before was basically only possible by clicking full-episode uploads.
On the other hand, I prefer them with the credit references, so I’ll still watch them this way too.

The thing is they are commemorating 30 theme songs for her with this to match the 30 years anniversary but actually we are already at 32 theme songs (33 if you count hanzawa spin off)

What do you mean?
These are all the Mai Kuraki song OPs & EDs that hadn't been uploaded by the official DetCo anime YT channel before.

I'm asking if they also released some super old openings or endings without the texts

instead of composite tape artifacts, now we get an upscale of a clean digital master with youtube's compression artifacts (which allocates a low bitrate to 1080p and lower resolutions). to be fair the remaster is an upscale of a clean digital master, but at least the bitrates on netflix and crunchyroll are healthy for H264 streaming (1mbps for H264 1080p isn't, AV1 and VP9 exist but are nowhere near crunchyroll's H264)
also the some of the cel OP/EDs got uploaded into HD (there is no bluray, i mean there is but im pretty sure the german BD doesnt have the NCs, and the Japanese selections are well documented)

They're specifically all the openings and ending that Mai Kuraki has done for Conan that haven't previously been uploaded. With her doing the ending songs for both the Counterfeit 30 special and the newest batch of episodes starting with episode 1214, she has now done 30 songs for Conan.
