I've read somewhere that the blue-skinned alien race of which the "Crescendolls" are members was used in some prior Matsumoto work, but I don't see anything about it in the writeup. Anyone able to fill that in? -- Robotech_Master 20:57, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
It was filled in. They're supposed to be reminiscent of Space Cruiser Yamato's Gamilion's.
Bold text==Robert Plant== "A little boy strongly reminiscent of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart appeared as one of the previous victims of Darkwood. Other aliens seem to be reminiscent of popular musicians such as Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Robert Plant, and Janis Joplin, and all have deaths covered up with alcohol, depression, and other reasons."

I have been noticing for a while that two different plot outlines are being constructed in this article. We have a description of the entire plot and we have the decription of each music video segment. I'm kind of iffy of keeping both at how they are now. Do we need to explain the entire plot in full detail? The song segment section seems to be a condensed version of the plot and works fine. I reverted back the big description of the entire plot that just recently got deleted just so I can see what the userbase thinks of the plot.
I'm sure some things from the entire description of the plot can be merged into the song segment portion. Does this sound like a good idea? Douglasr007 01:39, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I've seen in other articles about musicals that the title of the song is mentioned in parentasees throught the plot description, e.g. RENT. I've found that is the best way to remove the redundancy of the article. -- wL< speak· check> 02:52, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Just letting you know that because the image of the band below the infobox was to be deleted on July 21 because of a lack of fair use rationale, I added a fair use rationale. That should cover things there. And by the way, if any screenshots of this movie are needed, just leave a message on my talk page. Blademaster313 03:48, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
The plot synopsis, as well as the character profiles are well done. However, certain characters (such as the main villain) are excluded from description. I believe it would be worth the extra effort of including a few more character profiles. For example, the image of the Earl of Darkwood... he always appears dressed to impress, but what of the mystic conqueror we see further into the film? It might be bold to suggest expanding the available information on every main character in the film. This type of generalization gives the user the leisure of being able to find out specific information(assuming they are); coming to Wikipedia to find it rather than discover unreliable material elsewhere. Post me back, and I'd be glad to help fill in the blanks on the characters lacking in detail.

That's what I gathered as well. The father was killed so the son took his place. His motivations were probably caused by the trauma from the death of his father, an analysis that doesn't need to be included in the article. For the most part though the fact he's the son is somewhat trivial and a detailed summary of the plot isn't necessary. Still a good observation though if people haven't picked up on that already.

Hello, on 17:37, 17 June 2007 Triva section was removed from Interstella 5555 article by Just64helpin.
I believe Trivia section was extremely interesting and valueable, and it should not be removed.
What were the reasons to delete the section?
I can see that some information migrated to Plot section, but other parts (especially identity of Mozart and other famous musicians) went nowhere, which is simply wrong. Netrat_msk ( talk) 23:30, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Do the Instruments seen in their One More Time Music video designed after actual instruments, or were they just created for the video? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shadowgamer2012 ( talk • contribs) 00:05, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
Manga Impact: The World of Japanese Animation, 6 December 2010, ISBN 978-0714857411; pg 97:
In the middle of a pop concert, somewhere on a distant planet full of blue-skinned inhabitants, a masked commando force descends from a fleet of spaceships and captures the group on stage. The four members of the band are spirited away to Earth by means of an international wormhole, their memories altered and their identities changed, as each of them is implanted with a chip that controls their will. Under the control of the mysterious kidnappers, they become the Crescendolls, a new group who shoot up the charts to global super-stardom. In the meantime, out in space, a young alien on board a spaceship in the shape of an electric guitar is following hot on the trail of the band; it is he who helps them to recover their identities.
Interstella 5555 is a film made in 2003, with a soundtrack entirely composed by electro group Daft Punk and devised in collaboration with the legendary creator of Japan's most popular science-fiction cartoons, the artist Matsumoto Leiji. The film rests equally on the characters conceived by Matsumoto, a delightful compendium of his previous creations but with more modern and pronounced features, and on the direction assured by a team of artists that also includes Takenouchi Kazuhisa and veteran Nishio Daisuke, both of Toei Animation.
Without dialogue, but with Daft Punk's songs taken from the album Discovery to provide Matsumoto with the necessary inspiration, the film is a courage and successful mix of music and animation that recalls certain artistic experiments by Tezuka Osamu. In this spectacular setting, Matsumoto's reflective and steady universe is suddenly and unexpectedly imbued with the pop glamour of cult creations such as Macross.

I've found this section in Isaac Asimov article:
I think it's a very interesting coincidence. (Yes, you may call it "original research", so i'm wrote here. ;) ) Axelock ( talk) 20:48, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
In the merch, including the cover art shown in the article, the actual subtitle is written consistently as "The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem" with number 5s substituted for the letter S. Shouldn't the title of this article, and the intro, reflect this? -- PaulxSA ( talk) 23:00, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
On February 26, 2021, Todd Edwards, co-producer and vocals performer on Face to Face, gave an interview to a Twitch streamer named Poolsidemusic. In the interview he discussed some of his experiences with Daft Punk while working on Discovery and Random Access Memories. During the interview, he also gave some insight into Daft Punk's early ideas for a Discovery movie, such as it being live-action, and being about a group of oppressed robots rebelling against the machine of life.<rref> https://www.twitch.tv/videos/929658256</rref> The whole interview can be found at Poolsidemusic's Twitch channel and begins at 1:33:30 and I suggest watching the full interview for more context and info.
I was wondering if the information in the interview warrants being mentioned in this article or on the Discovery article, and if they do, can someone add them since I am inexperienced with article writing. VeridisQuo07 ( talk) 09:14, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
Propose edit for "official website" to be http://interstella5555.com the current "official website" appears to be an archive link of a very old version of the site on the wayback machine ( https://web.archive.org/web/20030802/http://www.bacfilms.com/site/interstella/).
I propose that the wayback machine version should be linked as "archived version" and the current version of Interstella5555.com to be the link for the official website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aramude ( talk • contribs) 22:49, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
Some people are claiming based on the "forty five" here that the "proper" name of this is "Interstella 45". Is there anything to that and if not where is the forty five coming from?-- 174.99.238.22 ( talk) 14:54, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
