  2. "アケオーメ・コト要路" is a pun on "あけおめことよろ" (akeomekotoyoro), a Japanese New Year greeting.
  3. A reference to the game "Boter, Kaas en Eieren" (tic-tac-toe, lit.: Butter, Cheese and Eggs).
  4. A reference to the Russian poem "The Tale of the Princess Swan" by Alexander Pushkin that starts with "Three girls under the window...".
