* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV_tT0R0KNc video for "Ningen President"]] features an extremely unsubtle lookalike of Creator/DonaldTrump.
* {{Sampling}}: A lot. A strong example is the aforementioned "Ningen President", which is built almost entirely around samples from "Temporary Secretary" by Music/PaulMcCartney, "Beat Box" by Music/ArtOfNoise and "Tainted Love" by Music/SoftCell ''at the same time.''

While they have become famous for making theme songs for anime series like ''[[Manga/GeGeGeNoKitaro Hakaba Kitaro]]'', ''Anime/EurekaSeven'' and ''Manga/CojiCoji'', they developed an international cult following with their intro theme to ''Anime/DevilmanCrybaby'', "Man Human." Unfortunately in 2019, just in time for their 30th anniversary, Pierre Taki almost had his career ''obliterated'' after he was found guilty of cocaine possession. The outrage over his disproportionately harsh treatment was palpable, thanks to the "Free Taki" social media campaign, shedding a spotlight on the massive taboo surrounding narcotics in Japan (if not East Asia). Ki/oon Records read the writing on the wall and, upon Taki's release from prison in 2020, Denki Groove's music was rereleased on streaming platforms.
