Eurotime: Eurobeat Basics

HHHHHELLOOOOOOOOW Skip the pleasantries and get to the point... I have to poop...aaaaaaaand, oh, wait.. that's not the point XD
Today we talk about Eurobeat. As many people know it's a Japanese music genre. I'll post a link so you can have an idea.
This is Eurobeat if you didn't know. There are many eurobeat traces in some famous arcade videogames like Dance Dance Revolution (Very nice game. Try it if you never had the opportunity, buuuuuuuut I can't disclose otherwise someone might kill me *looks around =.=*
Eurobeat might seem similar to many other genres (to a less experienced ear), but, well, it's not true.
Yes, Japanese are brilliant so they created a brilliant genre, suitable for dancing and also to exalt and rock when you need to.
I can say it's a quite fast,mmmm, exalted (and yes, I used 'exalted' to explain a musical genre, oh, I've a thousand   + one resources u.u) genre.
If you're going to try to create an eurobeat song, I warn you now...it's not easy at all. It has a quite complex rhythm to play (If you listen well, it has a structure of verse, chorus, verse and with that rhythm it's not easy to make a symmetrical sound... symmetry..what a beautiful thing **).
Loving animes, I knew eurobeat watching Initial D, an anime fast and furius-style. Its soundtracks always include many of the most popular eurobeat songs, published by a minor label: SUPER EUROBEAT.  Moreover, this label can also sell products of non-eurobeat artists due to remix albums, including the most famous: the compilation series ayu-ro mix, containig remixed songs by Ayumi Hamasaki. The same label also released the album Every Little Thing.
Now I'll list some eurobeat artists, ok? (Now please, say YEEEEEEEEEEES....... done? good.)
HINOI Team: This is probably the most famous and popular group in Japan. I highly recommend them.
SHANADOO: These girls are unique in their genre , they act in Europe more than anything else.
Key-a-Kiss: They are an Avex group created by their auditions, they're good too. The original members were NAHOMI, YUKIMI and TOTOMI. Whan they released their third single,four new members were in the group: HITOMI, ERINO, RUMI and NAMI. They broke up in 2003, when all the members left the group.
There are many others who I don't know very well, so I think it isn't correct to say their name without knowing if they are good artists or not. ^^
Fiiiiiiiiiiiinally I would say you can find these songs on youtube, if you have doubts or insicurities you can look for something famous by these great artists.
Many people use sites like VidToMp3 to download the audio from youtube videos, pleas DON'T. It's illegal and we want to respect the artists we love and their effort in givin us beautiful songs to have fun with.
I can give you links to download and buy songs LEGALLY and here they are:
Mu-Mo Net
Mo-Ra
SAIFAM
Led Records

Well, I finished... greetings from Spike and the Peach Love Gal-sa :D
MIAO MIAOOOOOO

Eurotime!

Hi everyone!
I am Lyoe!

I'm going to explain something about Eurobeat ★


But.. What is Eurobeat?


Eurobeat is a form of italo-disco/HI-NRG (High Energy) music that developed in the late 1980s. It's also directly related to the Japanese Para Para dance culture. (From Wikipedia).


I want to share with everyone some artists/groups:


- Ayumi Hamasaki: She's a Jpop artist and a lot of her songs were mixed in Eurobeat version.


Here is Trust (EuroBeat Remix), a song that I love so much! It makes you dance!





- Hinoi Team: they are 4 japanese idol girls and make only Eurobeat songs!


Here is Night Of Fire:



Or Aishiteru, so lovely song!




In the next post I'll explain this genre of music!
See you soon!
