The ending video of "Lupin the Third Part 5" was released prior to the main anime that will start airing tonight.
The ending song this time is "Seine no Kaze ni...(Adieu)" sung by Miyuki Sawashiro, who plays Fujiko Mine.
The video starts with Fujiko's sexy back view, then shows her innocently running in front of the Arc de Triomphe in her wedding dress, weeping in the rain with a ring in her hand, and many other scenes of Fujiko's various charms condensed in the video. The film also features a scene in which Fujiko, Lupin, Zenigata, Dougo, and Gemon are enjoying drinks side by side at a bar where Fujiko works as a bartender, and a "dream-like" scene in which Fujiko is on a date with a man who appears to be Lupin. In addition to the images showing the relationship between Lupin and Fujiko, the first ending song sung by Sawashiro Miyuki, who plays Fujiko Mine, is also noteworthy.


The creative producer, Yu Jozono, who worked on the video, has commented on the video, and we will introduce his comments below.


Comments from the creative producer, Yu Jozono

Ending video
From the moment it was decided that Miyuki Sawashiro would sing the ending song, I wanted to make a serious video with Fujiko Mine as the main character.
I asked Kazuhide Tomonaga to draw all the cuts, and although the animation is not flashy, it is a very high quality animation that shows off Tomonaga's craftsmanship, such as his ability of expression over the years and careful screen production. Tomonaga-san, who willingly responded to my order, said "Fujiko is difficult~! but it turned out to be fascinating and wonderful. I hope you enjoy the various charms of Fujiko and Sawashiro's song.


Opening Video
The OP of PART4, which was very popular last time, was created as a royal Lupin-like OP including character introductions, as the TV series was revived after 30 years.
For PART5, Hisao Yokobori, an OP craftsman from Telecom, continued to work on the opening, but the music was arranged in a French style using accordion and other instruments, giving it a pop and elegant feel different from the previous version. Yokobori, who storyboarded, directed, and did the original artwork, and Tamiko Kanamori, who did the artwork, worked together to create an artistic image, and I think they succeeded in creating a fresh and unprecedented OP.
This is one of the swings of the work "Lupin the Third," and I hope everyone enjoys the various charms of Lupin.

The opening video was also released on the official website yesterday. In addition to the well-known theme song, the innovative video with an unprecedented pop touch has been completed! Driving to outer space in a beloved Fiat! The witty scene in which he drives to outer space in his beloved Fiat, as well as other scenes linked to the series, make this film a must-see.
