Lucky☆Star - References List [Read On!]

This thread is meant to keep a Complete List (if we will ever able to do it!) of all the references we're able to spot in Lucky Star! Where possible, background explanations and useful links will also be posted, in order to fully understand what was going on, how, when and why.

The list will be kept up to date from now on, by adding infos about a newly aired episode each week.

A fundamental rule to see your contributions here will be to post informations on the Cultural References in Lucky Star thread only! Other than for discussion, that thread is also meant to seek and organize informations that will find a place here (check first and second post in particular). Hence, to make Mods' life easier, only posts from there will be considered.

The users who will see their post published here will of course be mentioned and credited (so that they could be "prized" if someone wishes to :)). But don't worry because users who will show a particularly good, useful and creative attitude will be mentioned and credited as well ;)

Episode 6:

1) A deep insight of the episode. Courtesy of JEEB. Original source is here

Spoiler:

First Part Of The Episode

The Cicada (”Higurashi”) in the beginning

In Japan, the cries of Cicada are considered as a kind of a sign of summer, especially the end of it (as the time when Tanna japonensis is active is summer). Here it can be understood as the beginning of summer, maybe even as a reference towards Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.
The Subaru Vivio RX-R

Yui-neesan’s (Konata’s older cousin) car is a real existing one (propably a 1997 model), although I have not seen any pointings towards Kuroi-sensei’s car (by the looks of it it’s a standard family van, looks a bit like Honda Mobilio circa 2002-2003 [before it got the ‘Spike’- look]).
Initial D

Somehow I sense that the majority got this reference. Yui-neesan steps on the pedal and the whole anime gets a completely new look. Beautiful 3D CG shots, furious drifting and the “What’s with this Chome-Chome D- like driving?!” comment at the end combined with some characteristic looks of Initial D- drawing style make this reference easy to spot. If you know about Initial D, that is. Although there’s just one thing… They were driving from Saitama to the sea, why are they racing on a touge? (If Yui-neesan followed that car onto another roads, it’s understandable, though…)
The school swimsuit (sukumizu) ハァ～、ハァ～・・・ｗ

Of Konata, our idol of lolicon! The fact that she can still wear her ‘6-3′ swimsuit (sixth grade of elementary school, third class) means that she hasn’t grown at all during that time. I can hear some people drooling behind me already… But, anyways, sukumizu are no longer as popular as they were in junior high or senior high schools, although you can spot them, albeit very rarely, at some elementary / junior high schools.
Full Metal Panic! Fumoffu

At the beach Konata comments about watermelons getting completely destroyed if they’d be hit with guns (in reality suika wari is done with a bokken or something like it [a wooden sword or a real sword]). This is a reference to Sagara Sousuke from Full Metal Panic, who, in Full Metal Panic Fumoffu goes for the gun in suika wari.
“When you take someone’s glasses off, their eyes become (з.з)”

A common joke in anime and manga, where a character becomes completely shocked and unable to do anything without his or her glasses. A reference to Nobi Nobita (Doraemon) and many more.
‘Nanpa’

Means ‘to pick up’ a girl you don’t know, for example on a street (starting, for example, with the question ‘Could you tell me what is the time right now?’ and with a blitzkrieg- like speed continuing to the date check or something like ‘Would you go to the movies with me?’). The word in itself has no sexual context in itself, and only describes the type of meeting another person, the girls just refer to a romance with a stranger.
The ‘Right there-shouichi’tto’

A popular phrase from the 1970’s Japan (”Yokkoishouichi”), derived as a parody from the name of the soldier Yokoi Shouichi, found from the Guam Island in 1972, who had been hiding from the American forces all the way from 1945. Has the same meaning as “Dokkoisho”, which has many meanings, here translated as “Right here”.
Umi no Ie (”Sea house”)

In Japan there are usually such places near beaches. You can change clothes, wash yourself in them… or at least have a drink or something to eat. Usually quite heavy-priced and nothing really gourmet, but better than to sit under the burning hot sun in Japan.
Drinking a la Misato Katsuragi

No comments here, if you still don’t get it, please, watch Shin Seiki Evangerion (Neon Genesis Evangelion).
“Konata’s touched!”

A possible reference to the “Hideki Kangeki”- pachinko slot machine, done over the first Japanese version of YMCA, sung by Saijou Hideki.
Konata’s “sumoist’s apron”- thing

A reference to an earlier Japanese food making- manga/ anime “Mister Ajikko” (a bit like “Yakitate! Japan”, but ran from 1987 to 1989), episode 44. I haven’t seen it myself, but I think it’s the overreactions after tasting something that the makers were pointing to. As for what is a Fundoshi, look here.
The AIR- typish scene-making by the sea(?)

This could be a reference to the game AIR, made by KEY and it’s anime adaptation made by Kyoto Animation (they’re making Lucky☆Star, too). AIR is centered around a story that happens in a village near sea and many scenes happen near it.

Second Part Of The Episode

“The Melody We Know”

This is pretty surely “Motteke! Seeraa- fuku” being hummed in here by Tsukasa.
“Timotei, Timotei, Timoteeei!”

Timotei is a shampoo brand, sold in many countries. Check the CM that she is referring to here.
Putting the hand on your chin and saying “Mm… Mandom.”

A reference to the old, old commercials from Gatsby- Mandom, that were famous at their time (link). Mandom is a mens’ healthcare brand, nowadays more mentioned as Gatsby.
The gyaruge- reference

When it looks like there might be a chance for a special event, which can be invoked by choosing the right action alternatives, it is called “Having a flag standing”. It also means that usually almost all gyaruge- players save there, thus the “Save frequently” -comment (everyone saves there in order to see both ways and to get all the special event pictures / CG).
Final Fantasy Tactics, the Japanese version

The “Save Frequently” and “Are you throwing rocks?” are both from the online help of Final Fantasy Tactics (”Seebu wa komame ni ne” and “Ishi nageteru kaai?”)
Konata’s spooky stories

The song “DANZEN! Futari wa purikyua” is the opening song for “Futari wa Purikyua” (”Futari wa Pretty Cure”), a Magical Girl anime series. Also a joke on 2ch.net?
Konata’s white mask

A reference to the remake of the film on the novel “Inugamike no Ichizoku” (犬神家の一族, “The family of the Inugamis’”), which is a detective drama in the Kindaichi Kousuke- series. The character Inugami Sukekiyo wears such a mask in it.
Konata “legs out”

Another reference to “Inugamike no Ichizoku”, this time to a certain corpse, that is upside down. Konata actually says “The Inugami family” when performing the act to make it more understandable
“Hiroshi desu”

When Tsukasa picks up the shell and starts to listen to its sound, she uses a “to desu”- ending and says her name twice. This is a reference to a Japanese comedian Hiroshi, who was popular in Japan from about 2005 to 2006.
Comptiq

Also called Comp, a computer game magazine. Lucky☆Star first appeared on its pages and here it is, in the anime. Again.
“I really asked about it.”

A phrase that is heard on the TV Tsukasa and Kagami are watching, always said in the TV programme “Toribia no Izumi” (トリビアの泉, “The fountain of trivia”).
Shiraishi’s “Maicchinguu~!”

Although can be understood as “My jingles!” by the way Akira-sama did the movement, this is also a reference to a 1981-1983 anime “Maicchingu Machiko-sensei” (まいっちんぐマチコ先生), which is now being used in many different study books for high-schoolers, for example.
“House” and “A Dog of Flanders”

Not the doctor, but a foodstuff company. Was one of the sponsors for the TV anime series “Furandaazu no inu” (フランダースの犬, “A Dog of Flanders”). This anime is very popular and well-known in Japan, and if I can say that I found House foodstuff with Flanders’ images on them in a regular family, I could say that in a way Shiraishi is right about otaku…
“At that time, the thing that was seen by the correspondent!”

A reference to a variety programme “Toukou! Tokuhou Oukoku” (投稿!特ホウ王国, “Submitted! The Newsflash Kingdom”), that was running 1994-1997 on the Nippon Television Network Corporation (日本テレビ).
“Valentine Kiss”

The ending of Episode 6 is Kokushou Sayuri’s (国生さゆり; not ‘Kuninama’ - as Konata said) debut solo song, which was released in 1986. The ‘member number’ Konata mentions is the member number in the group Onyanko Club (おニャン子クラブ), in which Kokushou Sayuri was still in when she released the song. Her member number was ‘8′.

2) Another great amount of informations provided by aohige:

Spoiler:

3) Further deepenings about the Initial D sequence.

By Manatsu:

Spoiler:

The Vivio vs FD race sequence was more or less lifted from Initial D First Stage ep 5 (not sure where in the manga) where it was the AE86 vs FD. Yui passed the FD in the same way Takumi claimed victory on the 5 hairpin turns with the same gutter move following a high speed entry into the turn.

It doesn't end here. Next we have Konata teasing Kuroi-sensei with the same lines which Natsuki told Takumi at the beach, also from Initial D First Stage ep 5.
By HashiriyaGDB:

Spoiler:

The corresponding ID manga volume for the AE86 vs FD race is volume 2. Yui's Subaru Vivio RX-R is a BLATANT reference to Bunta Fujiwara's Impreza WRX STi Type R (GC8V).
Here's another tidbit on the Vivio. It's the only K-car to have a supercharged engine (all other K-cars I know, such as the Cappuccino, i, Wagon R, Copen are powered by turbocharged engines). I'm very surprised the producers didn't add in a supercharger whine for when doing the interior shots for the Vivio.

About a.f.k's subs for the ID section. The "I" in the "FDI" refers to the fact that Keisuke's Mazda RX-7 Type R is a version 1 FD, so it should be "FD3S-I". The Mazda RX-7 Spirit R (2002) would be "FD3S-VI" since it was based on a version 6 FD. The appropriate roman numeral is attached only when the full chassis code is used. Most people simply say "FD".

BTW, that song during the Vivio vs FD battle sounds VERY similar to "Noizy Tribe" by m.o.v.e., a J-ROCK group that does the themes for the ID series.

Episode 7:

1) New deep insight. Courtesy of JEEB , original source is here

Spoiler:

First Part Of The Episode

Maria-sama ga Miteru

From the beginning of the episode, to the end of it Kona-chan seems to be in a ojou-sama (”Young Lady”) - mode after, by her own words, falling a bit too much into MariMite (abbreviated version of “Maria-sama ga Miteru” ; マリア様が見てる, “The Virgin Mary is watching you” ), which is a series of light novels, that has been made into an anime and into a manga, and that takes place in a elegant catholic girls’ school. She says the words “My… Oh, Tsukasa-san, did you know that your ribbon is slightly askew?”, which is a reference to a scene at least in one of the novels, and uses overall keigo (link) as her speaking style, which is only usual in formal situations or at “ladies’ schools”. Yes, they do exist in reality… Also, the overall drawing style of ojou-sama- Konata could be a reference to “Ouran Koukou Hosuto Kurabu” ( 桜蘭高校ホスト部, “Ouran High School Host Club” ).
“After all, Sebastian is a must if you talk about butlers.”

Konata says this while she is calling Shiraishi “Sebastian”. This is a reference to the fact that in many anime, manga and games in Japan after the animation “Arupusu no Shoujo Haiji” ( アルプスの少女ハイジ, “Heidi” - 1974) the name of a butler, if there was such, became standardized to “Sebastian”.
Various titles with Sebastian- named butlers
o Perrine Monogatari
o The Little Mermaid
o To Heart
o Purinsesu Nain Kisaragi Joshikou Yakyuu-bu
o Akihabara Dennou Gumi
o Tatakau! Sebastian
o Onegai My Melody
o Sadistic・19
o Inukami!
o Kuroshitsuji
o ペンギン娘 (Pengin-ko / Pengin-musume - no official reading orz)
o and more…
Furby

The way Konata breaths - “Haa, burskooo…” (Couldn’t check this by myself, anyone has a Furby^2? Anyone?)
The music in the TV

When Konata wakes up is “Kuchibiru Hakuchuumu (Day Dream)”, the opening from the anime Strawberry Panic. Connected by the same composer as with the opening of Lucky☆Star, “Motteke! Seeraa-fuku” - Hata Aki. Also has a considerable amount of girl-to-girl human relations (*krhm* yuri *krhm*), as MariMite.
The appearance of the drill doctor

After Kagami says “A choco cornet really looks like a drill, doesn’t it?”, Tsukasa and the others get the double-drill- doctor image from episode 2 pushed into their heads again.
The Lumine at the west entrance of Oomiya station

Is the place where Kagami and Tsukasa wait for Konata to appear. Also a reference to the SOGO department store in Oomiya, since the banner in the background says “ZOCO” when she is explaining her reason to be late.
McDonalds

The place they ate at. Need. I. Say. More?

Second Part Of The Episode

Konata’s phone

Now this isn’t for sure, but it looks like one of the N900- series from NTT DoCoMo, or J-Phone’s (AKA Vodafone K.K. and nowadays as SoftBank Mobile) J-N04 or J-N05.
TOBU Railways, Kasukabe Station

is the station Konata and the Hiiragi twins meet. Actually it is written 東武鉄道・春日部駅, but in the anime other kanji are being used (糖武鉄道・糟日部駅 - the reading is the same)
Tsukasa’s phone

is the P702i from NTT DoCoMo. With a Sgt. Frog strap in it.
Roses again

This time Kuroi-sensei tells us about The War of The Roses. Connected to MariMite, as well.
Pachelbel’s Canon

is Tsukasa’s melody for incoming e-mail, it seems. Also a connection to Kyoto Animation’s earlier work, Kanon (and to the original game from Key).
Kagami’s phone

is a P902iS (crimson red) from NTT DoCoMo. Panasonic does pretty good phones IMHO, I’ve always liked their push-to-open structure.
Konata’s ringtone

Is “Hare hare yukai”, the opening from Kyoto Animation’s Summer 2006 series Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu (The Melancholies of Haruhi Suzumiya).
Konata’s e-mail address on her phone

is either meganekkogekilove@~ or meganekkogekirabu@~ . In Japan it’s very usual to have e-mail in a phone, it works like SMS, but across all operators (there’s CDMA, W-CDMA and PHS systems in Japan, so it’s impossible to use a number-to-number “mail” service) and can contain multimedia. Also spam is very common there, too, although you can block all non-phone addresses if you wish. Some operators will do that automatically.
Henshuu Ou, book 16

is the manga that Tsukasa borrowed from Konata and was touched. Konata, on the other side, laughed.
Attack No.1

is the manga Kagami asks about from Tsukasa and Konata. The usual sound dogs make when they bark is “wan!” in Japan, which makes the sound “One”.
Garasu no Kamen

The words “A girl to be afraid of” said in the middle of roses is a reference to the shoujo manga “Garasu no Kamen” ( ガラスの仮面, “Glass Mask” )
The GAMERS store

is the store Konata asks Kagami to come with her. There’s a reference to a new book of Full Metal Panic! (on the novel side) and to Comptiq, too. The “thing she wanted” is a figurine of Shana, from the 2006 anime series Shakugan no Shana.
Twintails

The twintails selected on the “Akira stylification plan” (あきらおしゃれ化計画) seem to end up on Shiraishi’s head. Not only that, but it’s a reference to a certain interview at which Shiraishi happened to put on twintails (”…the ones you did live…”).
Twin-drills

A reference to the Getter 2 robot from the “Getter Robo”- series with the lines “Do not tread lightly the speed of a Getter.” and “The second unit?”. Also the style of the “Twin-drills” Shiraishi thinks about is similar to the hairstyle of Matsudaira Touko from MariMite.
“Gerogeero!”

Is a reference to a Japanese manzai group Aozora Kyuuji・Kouji’s member Shimoji Yasuo.
The song Konata wants Miyuki to sing

is “Omoide ga ippai” from the anime “Miyuki”. Connected by the name “Miyuki”
The song Miyuki sings

is Chijou no Hoshi, which is extremely well known in Japan because it is the theme song for Project X - a famous documentary programme from the television channel NHK. Composed, written and sung by Nakajima Miyuki (note the name).

KChasm tells us:

Spoiler:

"Shigeo Ando" might be a reference to the drama "Dr. Koto Shinryojo" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Kot...Shinry%C5%8Djo), especially what with that blue cap (http://wiki.d-addicts.com/static/ima...2006_chart.jpg). (I dunno if Mariko Nishiyama's a reference to anything, though).
Nemo_N replies as follows:

Spoiler:

I think you are right. Nishiyama Mariko seems to be another character from the same dorama.

She is played by Nene Otsuka. Short filmography here.

Basically, they were making fun of the fact that Miyuki was at a clinic :p.

Spoiler:

During Konata's 'Yu-Gi-Oh Poem' game idealisation, she mentioned Semimaru doing a shining attack and Ono no Komachi using a lovely attack.

Semimaru is a poet and musician of the early Heian period. Ono no Komachi was a famous waka poet during the early Heian period, noted as a rare beauty - thus lovely attack.

Coming of age Ceremony: (from wiki) Since 1948, the age of majority in Japan has been 20; persons under 20 are not permitted to smoke, drink, or vote. Coming-of-age ceremonies, known as seijin shiki, are held on the second Monday of January. At the ceremony, all of the men and women participating are brought to a government building and listen to many speakers, similar to a graduation ceremony. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the government gives the new adults money.

In the past, coming-of-age ceremonies were largely reserved for noble and samurai families. A ceremony called genpuku was celebrated for men of such ranks at an age varying from 12 to 16. The equivalent for women was called mogi (裳着, mogi?), and was celebrated for girls between the ages of 12 and 14.

A Asahina Mikuru (battle waitress from the future version) figurine from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu is on Konata's television.

Kagami mentions that Tsukasa often stays near the Kotatsu. A kotatsu is a low, wooden table frame covered by a heavy blanket, where a table top sits. Underneath is a heat source, often built into the table itself.

Konata's Future: Kagami thinks about possibilities about what Konata could do as a job, and some of them (if not most) are jobs the mangaka of Lucky Star, Yoshimizu Kagami, does. At least the 'using random material' part. xP And when Konata says "Megas smoked cheese-nyoro," it's a reference to Chuyura-san.

Anime Tencho: When Konata finally goes to the register to pay, the shopkeepers all lean over to have a closer look, and their faces are in the style of characters in Keroro Gunso.

Ending: The ending song, of course, is a reference of another of Shiraishi Minoru's roles, Taniguchi. Taniguchi, from Suzumiya Haruhi, sang "Wa-wa-wa-Wasuremono" when he walked in on Kyon and Nagato Yuki.

Previews: The previews for the next episode is narrated by Keroro Gunso characters. The one who is mostly speaking (one who says "Giro-giro") is Corporal Giroro. The invasion of Pekopon is a reference to the Keroro Gunso series: Giroro is focused on invading Pekopon (Earth). Keroro is the one going 'Ge-Gero!'. There's also Tamama speaking. The tree store clerks in the Animate scene are those who voice for Keroro, Tamama and Giroro from Keroro Gunsou.

When the girls are talking about visiting Miyuki's house, they start discussing what kind of pet she would have. Konata brings up that Miyuki has to have a "big, white dog".

Now what other rich girl has a big white dog? Chiyo of Azumanga Daioh. It feels like it could have been intentional; at least, I'm suspicious of anything that comes out of Konata's mouth.
Furudanuki adds as follows:

Spoiler:

It probably was a Azumanga Daioh reference, since that series is very well known. However, the same criteria of "rich family, security fence, large yard, big white dog, and parasol" would also be an accurate reference for Ana Coppola from Ichigo Mashimaro. Konata could have had both examples in mind.
