* BlackSheepHit: ''Kimi Ni Mune Kyun'' is completely unrepresentative of the band's style overall, but was their biggest hit, and indeed was the highest-charting electropop single in Japan until Music/{{Perfume}}'s "Love The World" in 2008.

* SavedForTheSequel: "You've Got To Help Yourself" appears as a 30-second "preview" on ''Music/NaughtyBoys''; the full song would first appear on the RemixAlbum ''Naughty Boys Instrumental'' before the band put out a vocal rendition on ''Music/{{Service}}'' later that year.

Added DiffLines:

* ChannelHop: ''Naughty Boys'' was the band's first album to be released through Pick Up Records in Europe, after Creator/AAndMRecords' handling of ''Music/{{Yellow Magic Orchestra|Album}}'', ''Music/{{Multiplies}}'', and ''Music/{{BGM}}'' and Alfa's in-house releases of ''Music/SolidStateSurvivor'' and ''Music/{{Technodelic}}''.
* ContractualObligationProject: Both this album and ''Music/{{Service}}'' were recorded specifically to fulfil the band's contract with Alfa Records. The group initially planned to dissolve right after the release of ''Music/{{Technodelic}}'' thanks to CreativeDifferences between Music/RyuichiSakamoto and Music/HaruomiHosono, but Alfa still required two more albums out of them.
* LateExportForYou: ''Naughty Boys'' was one of many YMO albums to not see a release in the United States until Restless Records' CD reissues in 1992. Meanwhile, ''Naughty Boys Instrumental'' was never released outside of Germany or Japan for roughly 19 years; its first release outside of those territories was in Europe and Canada as part of the band's 2003 reissue campaign (itself a case of this trope, given that it consists of re-pressings of the previously Japan-exclusive 1999 remasters), as part of a combo pack with the original ''Naughty Boys''.
* NoExportForYou: ''Naughty Boys Instrumental'' never saw a Stateside release, with the closest it ever got being a few cuts tossed onto Restless Records' CD reissue of ''Music/{{Multiplies}}'' as bonus tracks.
