Solid State Scouter is an 80's workout theme?

I know this is probably complete BS, but there's some guy on YT who insists he's heard from multiple Japanese fans that Solid State Scouter is based off a Japanese workout song from the 1980's. Is there any truth to this?

It's a homage to YMO's Solid State Survivor.

Well I've found a new band I like. They remind me a bit of Devo. Thanks for the help.

Also, in case you were unaware, Solid State Scouter was performed by Dragon Magic Orchestra, which I believe IS Yellow Magic Orchestra. Kenji Yamamoto, I know, is friends with a member (or all of the members?) of the band.

This is cool. Weird, funky, and worth a listen. Thanks for sharing!
Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.
