Trivia
El Suspiro de Haruhi Suzumiya Parte 1
 * Haruhi's headband reads "Koharubiyori (小春日和 a period of temperate weather in early winter; lit. little spring-like weather)", in which 春日 can be also read 'Haruhi'. Nagato's headband reads "Okumanchouja (億万長者 a billionaire)", and this includes 長, which is the kanji used in her last name. Mikuru's headband reads "Zenjinmitou (前人未踏 a road that no one had yet walked; unprecedented)" and this includes syllable "mi". Although Mikuru's name is not given in kanji, it has been widely speculated that Mikuru is an alternative reading for 'mirai (未来; future)'. Itsuki's headband reads "Kokontouzai (古今東西 all times and places; lit. past and present, in the Eastern and Western worlds)", and this includes 古, which is the kanji used in his last name. Kyon's headband reads "Kikiippatsu (危機一髪)", which reads "nick of time".

 * The events in this episode take place before The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina Episode 00.

 * Two girls from Kouyouen are seen on the train. Some fans say they resemble Yui and Mio from K-ON!.
