* AnimeHair ''and'' YouGottaHaveBlueHair: And HOW. This ''is'' a manga of TheEighties, after all. Particularly noticeble are Go's blond ''and'' red hair as well as Satomi's ''lilac'' long hair.

Whereas the main narrative of "Ai Shite Night" is essentially based on a love story, [[TropeCodifier interesting and innovative elements]] were introduced by KaoruTada, most notably the portrayal of the Japanese music scene in the early '80s. In creating characters such as Go, Satomi and their band "Bee Hive", Tada was inspired by successful bands of the time such as "The Stalin", "Novela", "Primadonna" and "44 Magnum". Tada also plays with sexual provocation and ambiguity, mainly embodied by the character of "Kiss Relish" vocalist Kazuma "Sheila" Kataoka, although these elements were considerably toned down in the anime version of the story.

* Bishonen: Hashizo, a pint-sized edition.

* NonSingingVoice: Ironically enough Gou, his songs were sung by [[KyojuuTokusouJuspion the late Ai Takano]], ''DESPITE'' being voiced by the very well known singer IsaoSasaki

* {{Bowdlerize}}: As mentioned, the anime toned down the sexual themes. It's not just about Sheila; the anime rendition of Satomi's first scene cuts out the allusions to him apparently working in a gay bar.

* CrashIntoHello: How Yakko and Go meet.

* [[FirstGirlWins First Boy Wins]]: Toyed with. [[spoiler: Storyline-wise Yakko has known Satomi from before Go comes into the picture, but doesn't end up with him. OTOH, one the first guy that we viewers get to see is actually Go, since the second scene of the TV series has him and Hashizo getting ready for their daily routine and Satomi doesn't appear until a little later.]]

* InterGenerationalFriendship: Hashizo (no older than 5) and Yakko (18). Also Hashizo and Yakko's dad (in his 40's), in quite the contrast with Shige's more skittish treatment of Go.

* TakeThatKiss: Sorta. [[spoiler: Go once kisses Meiko when he's sure Yakko is watching.]]
** Wasnt Satomi instead of Yakko?

* DubNameChange: In Western releases; in France for example, Yakko becomes Lucile, Go becomes Mathias, Hashizo becomes Benjamin and the series was renamed ''Kiss me Lucile''. And the story takes place in Paris. Yeah, it was TheEighties.

* TheWhitePrince: Satomi, also SpoiledSweet. Offers quite a contrast with Go, who is more middle class.
