Ohno Yuji's passing marks another major loss; few remain of those who helped make the Lupin III franchise into a half-century old cultural mainstay. His musical themes continue to ground the series' vibe firmly in the 1970s. His OP for Lupin Part II is legendary. youtu.be/JvjgR4FOj3g?...

Farewell to one of the most influential anime composers of all time: Ohno Yuji, the jazz pianist whose music for the Lupin III franchise is amongst the most iconic in Japan, has passed. Ohno was 84 years old, and had continued performing with his band, Yuji Ohno & Lupintic Six, until quite recently.
