WOOO! ParaPara!!! Yeah! I enjoy ParaPara. I don't think I'm that good though... I've been meaning to post vids on YouTube, but it still hasn't happened yet. I love Eurobeat Disney, too!!! Yay! I just watched Black UFO. The song is pretty cool. I'm horrible at picking out labels, so I'm gonna guess that Lupin is Boom Boom Beat. I'm probably wrong... I'll check.

[edit] YEAH!!!!!! I got it right!!! I'm kinda surprised. But by musical qualities alone (not looking at artist name), BBB, Hi-NRG Attack, and sometimes A-Beat-C, Time, and Delta are the only labels i can pick out. If its only between the first 3 labels (A-Beat-C, Time, & Delta), though, I can pick it out most of the time. The new labels confuse me...

I've been meaning to do the same actually. It's also good to video yourself to watch it back, which is what I do to see if I've been getting the moves down right. I think I'm bad at Para Para too even if my friends tell me they think I'm really good. I haven't been Para Para-ing long though so I still have many routines to learn. I think Lupin is Boom Boom Beat, but don't worry, I'm terrible with labels too!

^ I've recorded myself and watched it. Up until I watched myself, I thought i was really good at it. >_< Now I know... Maybe its because I'm a perfectionist, though. Until I do it exactly like the ParaPara Allstars, Gazen ParaPara paralists, Campus Summit paralists, etc., I'll probably never think I'm good at it. If you include Trauma (I realized with my "Ayu's ParaPara Dances" thread that there's controversey over that) Then I've benn ParaPara-ing (Or at least have known one) for almost 3 years years now. If you don't, then the first real ParaPara routine i learned was Eurobeat by Dr. Love and,... ummmm... actually I learned it maybe a month or 2 ofter Trauma... hehe... nevermind... :innocent (I didn't feel like deleting it. I'm so lazy X_X)

I sometimes practised the para para dance if I really liked the song, but it's usually pretty easy and doesen't take more than 5 min to learn. I used to know everybody dance by lolita, bazooka pistolero, ganguro, night of fire, boom boom mecha macho + some others. I think it'd b emore fun to do in a group though. I don't really remember the routines anymore. =P

I love eurobeat but I could not find a top one except Dream.
get over, sincerely, my will, music is my thing are :luv2

^ Your post reminds me, I love dream's eurobeat songs. ^^

Umm... I like Ayumi's eurobeat remix songs besides Dream's eurobeat songs.

Sorry to pick at this, and rehash it too, but dream (to my knowledge) never had any works that are originally eurobeat. That is, except for the 4 tracks at the end of "SEB presents EURO "dream" land". The only eurobeat albums they've had are "SEB presents EURO "dream" land" and "SEB presents NIGHT OF FIRE". Songs like Get Over, Heart On Wave, Movin' on, Private Wars, My Will, and the like are not eurobeat. Pop-dance maybe, but not eurobeat. I'm not insulting dream or anything, I like their music, but its not eurobeat (except for the 2 above albums).

Mm, I've been a paralist since I was like 13/14.. it was fun, but I'm kind of retired even though I remember routines from PPP6/PPP7 like woah.. PPP7 had some of the best routines imo. Wanna Be Your Emotion is so FUN.

I agree, and I don't think it's knitpicking. Eurobeat is a very distinctive genre, it's easy to detect. eurodance on the other hand is something else.

For reference for those who are clueless (Allthough it's sometimes faulty in other cases), use this page:

Oh ok, I learned something new today about the truth about Dream and their songs. ^^;

Just a random nod to dream, I really loved PURE / Love Generation, haha.

OK, so I have a few problems with the site:
A) The "Hardstyle" they have listed as hardstyle isn't hardstyle. I know hardstyle (and hate it, for that matter), and that isn't hardstyle...

B) their desription of J-pop is very narrow. And most of the samples are eurobeat remixes (and not labled as such, which ticks me off). And all of it is dance music, which not all of J-pop is. And there's WAAAAAAY more to J-pop than just "DDR" and "bubblegum pop". WAY more.

C) Eurobeat comes from Italodisco, if i'm not mistaken. Not whatever it is that they said (J-pop and something else). And, I might be wrong, becasue I'm not very experienced with Italodisco, but I'm not even sure that the samples they have of Italodisco are Italodisco.

D) unless its under an "a.k.a.", the site comepletely fails to mention Hands Up. *sigh*

I can't comment on the rest, though I'm sure there are other errors. The site seems "tries-too-hard" to me. Like, its trying to put far too much info in far less explanation than it should be explained in. It takes more than a paragraph and a few samples to understand a genre. :shrug but maybe that's just me.

Mmm, Eurobeat-Prime. I used to be friends with the owner, hoho.

^ Eurobeat-Prime is my favorite Eurobeat website! And that's pretty cool that you were freinds with the owner.
