The 90s band movement was credited to Boøwy as they popularized the formation of musical groups, which caused musical instrument sales to hit an all-time high during the 90s and the record companies signed and debuted 80 bands during the 90s in hopes of finding a new Boøwy.
The group disbanded in 1988.

Changing SISTER BOY
Just hey hey 小悪魔とランデブー
眠りにおちたMidnight "3"o'clock
ヒステリックに
ドアを Knock knock
雨に打たれ ズブ濡れの ELF
やったぜ こいつは拾いもの
それで彼女はお礼に笑う
どこかで聞いた話の通り
悪い事だけ続かない
先は約束されたも同じ
魔法の指で叶えておくれ
愛はそのうち生まれるさ....?
Day by day GOOD BOY
Changing SISTER BOY
Just hey hey 小悪魔とランデブー
だけど彼女は喰いつぶすだけ
魔法の指も使えはしない
気づいた時は遅すぎる
Day by day GOOD BOY
Changing SISTER BOY
Just hey hey 小悪魔とランデブー
Day by day GOOD BOY
Changing SISTER BOY
Just hey hey 小悪魔とランデブー
Day by day GOOD BOY
Changing SISTER BOY
Just hey hey 小悪魔とランデブー
"Rendez-vous" by BOøWY is a song that talks about a relationship that has a superficial or temporary quality to it. The singer describes himself as a "GOOD BOY" who is changing because of his relationship with a "SISTER BOY," which could refer to a close female friend or a romantic partner (depending on interpretation). The singer then talks about meeting a "little devil" and having a rendezvous with her at midnight when he's feeling hysteric.
He then talks about knocking on a door, being rained on and meeting an "ELF" who is soaking wet. The singer feels lucky to have found this person and offers her a warm soup and a blanket to help her feel better. The singer then talks about the idea that bad things don't last forever and that the future is promised to everyone equally. He asks the "magic finger" to grant his wish to make his love grow, but ends the verse with the question "will love eventually be born?"
The second verse of the song reveals a darker side to the relationship. The singer says that his partner is "just eating him up" and that his "magic finger" is useless. He realizes that it's already too late to change the course of the relationship but he is still drawn to the rendezvous with the "little devil" and the temporary comfort it brings.
Overall, "Rendez-vous" is a song that explores the fleeting nature of human relationships and the temporary, almost illusory nature of love.
