13.14. ending theme originally called "Lupin III Part 1" by Union/Teichiku record was later changed by Nippon Columbia to "Lupin III Part 2"; opening theme originally "Lupin III Part 2" changed to "Lupin III Part 1".
First time after original Teichiku record [KU-620] Koji Makaino has been linked as arranger of "Lupin III Part 1&2" record version. For unknown reasons his name was deleted by Nippon Columbia in every Lupin III album ever released until this.
Until 1998 "Lupin Part" songs weren't registered in JASRAC, so Yomiuri TV registered them as we know now rather "Lupin Theme Song".
