    You know it's so difficult to see them in live especially in the era of 90s and 00s before internet is popular !
    It's so sad to know Super Eurobeat Series was ended at Vol. 250, and hope all labels still produce music and release in other channels like iTunes / Spotify and may have yearly release of SEB from Avex.
    BTW your new camera is great, very good low light performance! Please keep up the good videos on Eurobeat!
