message: 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)

message: 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)

message: 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.

message: I've watched the movie several times, but where does it say his name is shep?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.111.92.183 (talk) 02:27, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure if he's ever named in the film, but "Shep" is the name given to him in Interstella 5555 merchanise. Just64helpin (talk) 02:41, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: All of the characters (except Shep and Earl) are named in "Crenscendolls" but I believe the DVD does list the characters names as Shep and Earl de Darkwood under the character bios section of the DVD. Douglasr007 (talk) 04:47, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Earl de Darkwood is mentioned in the film in the book the Crenscendolls are looking into after about 40 minutes. Shep is mentioned when you buy the merchanise (as told above) from Daft Punks website --SakJur (talk) 17:47, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

message: I've found this section in Isaac Asimov article:
::"In December 1974, former Beatle Paul McCartney approached Asimov and asked him if he could write the screenplay for a science-fiction movie musical. McCartney had a vague idea for the plot and a small scrap of dialogue; he wished to make a film about a rock band whose members discover they are being impersonated by a group of extraterrestrials. The band and their impostors would likely be played by McCartney's group Wings, then at the height of their career. Intrigued by the idea, although he was not generally a fan of rock music, Asimov quickly produced a "treatment" or brief outline of the story. He adhered to McCartney's overall idea, producing a story he felt to be moving and dramatic. However, he did not make use of McCartney's brief scrap of dialogue, and probably as a consequence, McCartney rejected the story. The treatment now exists only in the Boston University archives."
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)

message: 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)
replies: text: It might be better to indicate that in a "stylized as" clause (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Trademarks etc). AnonMoos (talk) 05:10, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not just stylized. It's written that way in the film's billing block, meaning it's the actual official title, not just a logo stylization. MOS:TM is misapplied here, and the current title of this article is plainly factually incorrect. It must be moved back immediately. oknazevad (talk) 02:32, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

message: 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)
replies: text: From what I gathered in watching the video, the most relevant bits of info are that the duo wanted to blend science fiction with a look at the music industry, and that the "secret third Daft Punk member" Cédric Hervet was involved in conception. This is already in the article, so what's left would be the abandoned live-action concepts. I'm undecided if these are worth including, as they are quite far from what Interstella 5555 ended up being. jhsounds (talk) 16:51, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Upon a second look, I went ahead and added a little bit about the early concepts to the article. jhsounds (talk) 22:26, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

message: 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)

message: 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)
replies: text: The claim is that the name is "four five", not forty five. This is based on the Japanese name, as noted in the lead section in the article. jhsounds (talk) 19:20, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
