As part of the 50th-anniverssary for the Lupin The Third franchise, the official YouTube channel for the anime series' long-time soundtrack composer Yuji Ohno has posted a special studio session video of "THEME FROM LUPIN Ⅲ 2021," the OP theme for the ongoing series Lupin the Third PART 6.

80-year-old Ohno has been working on the Lupin The Third anime series as music composer since its second TV anime aired in Japan from 1977 to 1980. Its iconic OP theme continues to be re-arranged and used over and over again for the Lupin anime, including in the latest sixth TV series. This clip shows an impressive performance of Ohno and his band Lupintic Six, which was formed to perform the Lupin music in 2006.
