Himitsu – Top Secret (Japanese: 秘密 -トップ·シークレット- Hepburn: Himitsu - Toppu Shiikuretto -?, lit. The Top Secret) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Reiko Shimizu. It has been serialized in Melody.
It has been adapted into an anime series, Top Secret ~The Revelation~ (秘密(トップ·シークレット) 〜The Revelation〜?), by Madhouse and broadcast in Japan on NTV between April 8, 2008 and September 30, 2008.
The story takes place five decades from now, when brain scanners have been perfected to the point that the government can retrieve up to five years' worth of memories from people's minds — even if they are dead. The investigators of the National Research Institute of Police Science's 9th Forensics Laboratory must weigh the ethical choices in the ultimate invasion of privacy as they delve into people's minds to solve crimes.
The anime uses two pieces of theme music. "Kokoro Film" (ココロフィルム Kokoro Firumu?) by ALvino is the opening theme, while "Kemuri" (煙?, lit. smoke) by Maki Chang is the ending theme.
