Cyborg

The song's melody came to Hirasawa as he walked along an embankment; he wrote the lyrics 5 minutes before recording. He's referred to it as the first installment of an "Inca Empire Series", due to its melody sounding like something that could come from Incan culture.^[1]

"Thai versions" of this song interpolate a section of Sunaree Ratchasima's "Beautiful People of Phu Phan" (คนงามภูพาน), itself an adaptation of "The Girl from Ali Shan" (阿里山的姑娘), originally composed by Chou Lan-Ping for the 1950 Taiwanese film Happenings in Ali Shan (阿里山風雲).

Karkador, 1985

The Physical Atlas of Three Worlds/VOS, 1988

On The Physical Atlas of Three Worlds, the song fades in as a stop-motion segment ends, with only the last seconds of the opening drum solo audible. On the street rock video magazine VOS (Video On the Street), the entire solo is present, and a short P-Model biography scrolls through the bottom of the screen.

Error, 1990

How About Fuko?, 1996

A remix by Kenji Konishi of the Karkador recording, titled "Poste Restante Fuko" (局留め不幸, Kyokudome Fukou^?). Likely recorded in 1992, Hirasawa was too busy at the time to provide material for Fuko Project, so he agreed when Konishi—who didn't intend to make a remix—asked to use a pre-existing song from one of Hirasawa's records instead.^[3]
