Notes[]
- "Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore" (Italian: I loved for art, I lived for love) is a famous soprano aria from Giacomo Puccini's opera, Tosca, which is being performed in the episode.
- Another song from the opera that appeared in full is "Ed io venivo a lui tutta dogliosa" (Italian: And I came here full of sorrow"), which is from the end of Tosca's first act. Both of these songs are included on the series soundtrack album.
- This episode pays extensive homage to The Phantom of the Opera. It also draws parallels with an episode of Night Hood where that show's Lupin investigates the kidnapping of an opera singer.
- This is the only episode in the entire Lupin the 3rd series where the English and the Italian titles are the same however Manga UK called the episode "Living in Love, Living in Song" on their Blu-ray release.
- Zenigata's characterisation is inspired by his Part 1 characterisation, where he's corrupt, opportunistic, dangerous, obsessive and violent. However, The Woman Called Fujiko Mine's Zenigata is more laid-back and calculating and doesn't have the quick temper he does in Part 1, while Part 1 Zenigata consistently has a grudging respect for Lupin.
- Although many episodes in Parts 1, 2 and 3 have shown him being a gentleman to a number of women and girls, Zenigata's sexist characterisation is no surprise when you remember that he flirted with a disguised Fujiko in Part 2 Episode 12, and dismissed Melon Ganimard's ability because she was a seemingly homely-looking woman in Part 2 Episode 28.
