Eurobeat is a high-energy genre of electronic music that originated in Europe in the late 1980s, evolving primarily from Italo disco and Hi-NRG. It became especially popular in Japan, where it developed a strong connection with the Para Para dance culture and anime series such as Initial D.
Eurobeat is known for its fast BPM, catchy synth melodies, intense energy, and often-English vocals. Songs typically feature dramatic arrangements, energetic beats, and powerful choruses. While it declined in popularity in the West, Eurobeat maintained a strong niche audience in Japan, where it continues to inspire artists and fans alike.
