I'm tired of comments like: "The first Eurobeat song is "Your Boby Lies". This song was released in 1990, when "Divine" was released in 1988. And she, by the way, was included in the collection "Super Eurobeat vol. 1".
To be fair, the first few volumes of SEB were mostly Italo Disco/Hi-NRG compilations and "eurobeat" was primarily used as a marketing term for japanese audience. Eurobeat didn't really become it's own thing until early 90s, when it started to change and take shape of the music genre we know and love (which was partially influenced by Avex enabling a sort of a competition of "who can make the fastest song" between the producers). I think the reason people pick "Your Body Lies" as the first eurobeat song is because it's the first ever recorded song by A-Beat C, a eurobeat record label founded by Dave Rodgers and Alberto Contini. It's worth noting that the label was created around the same time when Super Eurobeat was bought out from the Italian Beat Freak label by the Japanese Avex Trax, and SEB Vol. 9, which was the first Avex-published Super Eurobeat volume, had the entire tracklist consisting of A-Beat C productions - including "Your Body Lies". Overall, I think the subject of the first ever eurobeat song is highly debatable, yet very interesting nonetheless, as there are plenty of candidate songs pretending to this title.
If you wanna go back even further Aleph (aka Dave Rogers) was making music as far back as 1986. His song "Fire on the Moon" was made in '86 but wasn't released until his albumn "Black Out" in 1988. Eurobeat back then was much different. It's not really considered "Eurobeat", more like Italo Disco as Metsu explained. I believe Eurobeat didn't start to evolve the genre it's been known for until maybe late '93 or early '94. I will say this, SEB Volume 4 is one of the best and most unique mixes out of "Non-stop Megamix" albums.
Those are just pure adrenaline nitrous, the early days were more relaxing but still enough for you to drive, and the modern ones are skewing more to like dance or pop or smth
What many people don't know is that eurobeat was "normal" music. It was a staple in Japanese discotechques and clubs. In the late 80s and early 90s, eurobeat was the most popular form of dance music in Japan. It was bigger than house, techno and hip hop. Eurobeat was simply the next generation of disco. Its early sucess has nothing to do with Initial D, MF Ghost, racing, cars or memes. Eurobeat was genuinely successful music just on its own. "Divine" was one of many hit eurobeat songs from the late 80s. Eurobeat is music that doesn't take itself very seriously, but eurobeat should be taken seriously as a legitimate genre of music.
Nice surprise seeing you here, Vectrex (I'm just a fan of the genre and just happened to recognize your name). Hearing about eurobeat's "normal-ness" was something entirely new to me! Always thought it was some niche genre to Japanese and European discos, with it's predecessor being italo-disco and it going hand-in-hand with Para-Para and stuff. Do you have the place where you've read about this? I would love to know more about it!
I was expecting a: "Eurobeat isn't like what it used to be", and instead got a: "Eurobeat has come a long way over the years", and I'm happy to be proven that statement in such a short video.
All I hope is, pls don't oversarute eurobeat and make it end up like "drift phonk", I love listening to eurobeat while I work on stuff, and it's one of the music genres I mostly love to listen to
i doubt since the major reason whjy there is alot of phonk is they're easy to do and the standard is quite low. as for eurobeat it's more complex to do. there no such thing as too much music for a genre just bad ones. and sadly phonk has more bad ones than good
For me, mid 2000s eurobeat are calming and has slow beat, while 2010s and above are encouraging and has fast beat, while the 90s are in the middle of it
There are tons of mid 2000s Eurobeat that has fast tempo, e.g. Time For A Miracle - Paul Dickenson, Fireball - Ken Martin. On the other end, there are a lot of slow Eurobeat songs in 2010s, e.g. You're Amazing- Norma Sheffield, Sunfire - Dave Rodgers & Futura
I personally think that 90s eurobeat songs are masterpieces. The ones made today seem very familiar to me, as if they were made with ctrl+c, ctrl+v, but from the 90s... I don't really want to talk about them, as I said, they are masterpieces.
I think it peaked when Ken Blast sang The Top. Anything released after that year is a downward spiral of crtl+c and Ctrl+v My personal favorite though is Supertonic lady. Very nice when you're jogging. I always put it at the 40min mark as my "energy boost"
Modern Eurobeat is great, especially stuff by Kaioh, though it helps when your dad is a Eurobeat Legend and A-Beat-C There's something about old eurobeat (up to ~'93) that makes it feel totally different from modern Eurobeat. It's like a totally different genre
Man I love Kaioh's work, give me some cool new era eurobeat vibes. These songs would be perfect for MFG, but my all tiime favourite eurobeat song is Futureland. With that Initial D scene, that song is perfect.
I gotta say I really love whatever the hell Ace, Fastway, Hotblade, The Snake and Powerful T cooks cuz they just feel different compare to the other kinds of Eurobeat
80s Eurobeat was really calm and relaxed but a different type of music at the time even then. Look at how it has evolved now! C'mon friends, let's enjoy this music together and stop arguing lol
The first time I heard Eurobeat music was "deja vu" when I watched a video I was interested in the song he included in the video, namely "deja vu" but I didn't know the title of the song in the video, after that I looked for it and it turns out this is a soundtrack song from an anime, but I don't know the name of the song genre after I found out the song genre "eurobeat" it was like getting a treasure, all the songs are really extraordinary I didn't expect there to be a song as good and cool as this, I know eurobeat from From 2019 until now I still faithfully listen to this genre of music, Moonside is one of my favorite new songs
I’m sure MF ghost has some good tracks that will get the new generation of kids to fall in love with the music Us adults will always have an attachment towards the older original Eurobeat from abba, delta, A beat C and hi-nrg. I know there’s more but that just a few listed
Ngl the second one is better the first is just some disco but I do love bangers like killing my love save me rider of the sky the top adrenaline and a lot more
i just... don't like the lightning switch lanes from intial D and MF ghost😂 at higher speed that is possible to lost control and actually crashed straight forward and lost so much fron grip from too fast changine lanes which actually not a drift😂😂
@@Darksupercool Rodgers is not the only one who started the genre. There are A LOT more people who contributed to the genre like Mauro Farina or Gino Caria.

In Italy there's a song called "Italodisco" which is now a meme song.

@@danielbueno8474 They greatly influenced European pop music.

I love this aspect of eurobeat.Early songs feels like a entire genre but its still eurobeat.
how it started: calm and nicely
how its going: GOGOGOGOGOGO TURNING AT 50 TO ME IS TOO SLOW FOR ME*CRAZY BEAT*
Late 90's and early to mid 2000's is my favourite era of eurobeat

really great to see how eurodance and disco evolved to be high nrg edm

Eurobeat is one of the only genre's to have not lost it's touch. It started out great, and continues to be.
I gotta say I really love whatever the hell Ace, Fastway, Hotblade, The Snake and Powerful T cooks cuz they just feel different compare to the other kinds of Eurobeat
Good, man🗿
Until Dave and Kaioh is with us it ain't be the last

Immediately fell in love with the Divine song.
They all go hard asf
Bye bye baby is a better example of the first eurobeat but sure
It's possible
90s and 2000s Eurobeat >>>
This tells you that the speed of the car is getting faster and faster...
It's like a minimal love, faster and faster)
this reminds me of a certain youtube video that was available which had 80s and modern eurobeat in it before youtube took it down
Old Eurobeat is just plain Italodisco (Wich is a good thing)
both are good
1990s, 2000s (favorite year: 2006 and 2007) to 2010s was my absolute favorite eras of Eurobeat
Eurobeat forever bro
Both is good.
didn't care much about modern ones until

ABBA is not Eurobeat 💀
Eurobeat and Super Eurobeat aren't the same thing
To be fair, they kinda are: Super Eurobeat (or SEB) is just the name of the compilation albums released by Avex, the genre is still Eurobeat.
🤓
However, Super Eurobit is its continuation of the original

Where can I find early eurobeat music videos
"Bad Power" by Aleph has an early eurobeat music video from 1989. It's one of the better eurobeat music videos out there.
