Trivia
- Sachiko means "happy child". Niko says that will be the name of her future child. It was also the name of her late dog.
- Shinoda Koun is apparently 45 years old. His name "koun" is one letter away from being "kouun/fortune".
- Koun is the mangaka for Moemon. The name Moemon is a combination of moe (cuteness) and monster. In some scenes of the manga, the kanji for "moe" can be seen. Which in turn might be a parody of Pokemon or even Doraemon.
- When Yocchan and Maki arrive at the Hayashi household, they bring melons which are expensive in Japan. They're also considered to be signs of wealth.
Niko's Powers
- Niko hears something being dragged in the aquarium.
Continuity
- When staying at Robo's house, Shinoda picks up a piece of bread crust in a bowl. Robo was shown to pick these crusts up when has no money since they're cheap/free in Voice 3.
- In the flashback scene where the couple are building the mountain of dirt, a bag of bread crusts can be seen next to them. So when they were poor, they ate like Robo too.
- Niko's family have noodles with curry for dinner. Another cheap dish associated with lower income families (like having Campbell soup and instant ramen for dinner in America).
- Yocchan keeps his secret stash in the picture he took of himself in front of Mt. Fuji from Voice 2.
Manga References
- In the manga Voice 2 A Woman Like the Ocean, the story is about a man named Yoshiko who works at the aquarium while having an affair with a woman. In the manga, Yoshiko is the one holding the electronics, threatening the girl to marry him or the fish will die.
- Yoshiko may b ea mistranslation of Sachiko, since both share the same kanji.
