THE LOCO MOTIONGOOD 4 NOTHING
It seems they covered Little Eva’s classic.
It starts with handclaps and the members singing a cappella, but before you know it, the song unfolds over a performance that’s full-on melodic hardcore in their signature style.
There are solos by the members along the way, making it an absolute blast.
The RobotsKraftwerk
If the article’s theme is “techno-pop,” we absolutely have to mention Kraftwerk’s classic masterpiece The Robots, the source of the term itself.
It’s said that in Japan the neologism “techno-pop” began to be used in reference to their 1978 masterwork album The Man-Machine, which includes this track.
The greatness of this song can’t be summed up in a few sentences, but its qualities—the distinctly German, somewhat earnest, hard-edged beat associated with so-called Krautrock; the slightly cheap-sounding electronic tones; and the melody sung through a vocoder—each feel of their time yet add up to an incredibly poppy, catchy number.
Already towering innovators in electronic music in the ’70s, Kraftwerk keenly registered the surge of the then-emerging new wave and neatly distilled it into their own sound—nothing short of remarkable.
Their influence on YMO is a given, and if we call them the forebears of Perfume, does that convey just how extraordinary they are?

The title The Rain Leaves a Scar carries the meaning “Not even the rain can heal my scars.” This song is included on the album heavenly, and unusually for a L’Arc-en-Ciel album, this is the only album where a fierce track is placed at the end.
Performing with a sense of flashiness reflects the members’ image of this song.

The Grower’s Club Anthem, released in 2023 by NORIKIYO—who also leads the hip-hop unit SD JUNKSTA—is a track laced with irony toward a society bound by fixed ideas and values.
While carrying the weight of past failures and lingering frustrations, it also portrays a forward-looking attitude that emphasizes growth through steady effort.
His versatile flow resonates over a track where ethereal synth tones intertwine with a heavy, hard-hitting beat.
