Literally just me gushing about eurobeat

Y'know what? Tumblr, you get a little treat. I don't have much better of a place to post something long-winded like this, so here we are.

I love eurobeat music. Big surprise from the girl with it in her handle, right? But I don't just love one kind of eurobeat. No, I'd go so far as to say I love it all. This genre becomes an absolute buffet of delightful, energetic, silly fun when you forget about trying to look for ways it "doesn't count", and try to look for the ways it does.

I love early eurobeat! I love the stuff that's indistinguishable from early Italo Disco, the formative things where the tempo was still low and the disco vibes were still high! That's Eurobeat and the first few volumes of Super Eurobeat are great for this!

I love later eurobeat, too! Even if some of the sounds aren't always my favorites, I love that folks were trying new things and dabbling with new sounds, experimenting in ways that in previous years seemed prohibited! Comparing some aliases who have been going for multiple decades from this period to when they started is also super fun!

I love traditional eurobeat, if I could pick a name for it! Faster, more rave-influenced, whether or not it's still got some disco elements in it, themes about nightclubs and love and loss and betrayal and that ever-ubiquitous fire! Maharajah Night has some great examples, leading into the bulk of pre-200 Super Eurobeat volumes!

I love J-Euro! It turns out, folks in Japan have different ideas and tastes and approach the genre VERY differently than the folks in Italy do, and I love how it sounds! I love how the sound design is so different and the speed jumps a little higher!

I love indie eurobeat! I love hearing how new and amateur producers take a crack at the sound, and seeing what folks do as the tools for making it grow and evolve! Even virtual versions of the synths the masters used to use are available now, and it's fantastic to hear how those things sound in new hands! I love the ways indie producers bend, break, and work around the rules of the genre and still deliver a uniquely "eurobeat" experience! Without this category, I would never have found DJ Command, DJ Bouche, Turbo, Vikas Beatbox, the Galaxian Recordings crew, and so, so many more!

I love happy eurobeat! The nature of the genre makes it so straightforward to pair its signature energy with joy, delight, empowerment!

I love sad eurobeat! That very same energy that powers joy and happiness can be just as powerful for driving home sorrow and sadness, and some lyrics even carry strong emotional weight (we're well past the days of eurobeat being only about Burning Love Car Baby Fire Desire Tonight Drift Tokyo, y'know)!

I love fandom eurobeat! Yup! Vocaloid, Touhou, MLP:FiM, Vtubers; whatever you may be a fan of, chances are good there's a eurobeat remix out there (or even an original) that suits your fancy!

I love Initial D eurobeat! How could I not, right? The classics are classics for a reason, and eurobeat and drift racing are a uniquely fantastic pair. Of all the things eurobeat could be about, it's one of a few that really knock it out of the park!

I love feminine eurobeat! Masculine eurobeat is great too, but it already gets a lot of love in the other categories, so I want to celebrate those eurobeat songs that feel quite the opposite while still being perfectly eurobeat! Eurobeat is broad enough to express feelings like this, too!

I love songs that aren't quite eurobeat, but have elements of it! And I love eurobeat songs that heavily include elements from other genres, too! Eurobeat is like any other genre-- it has not always had the same chances to rub shoulders with other sounds in the dance space, but when it does, some wonderful things happen! And the whole music world is enriched for that cross-pollenation!

I love the songs I used to dislike! To think I'd go from vastly disliking Norma Sheffield's discography, to adoring it so fully! Disliking "Higher Higher More and More" to seeking it out from time to time! Not being fond of SAIFAM/BBB's style, to knowing some of its songs by heart!

And most of all, I love that I get to MAKE this stuff for a living! I do not take the fact that this could've not worked out trivially, and I hope I've rewarded your patiences well with a lot of new favorites and starting points for diving deeper into the genre over the last... almost 20 years, now!

And that's just the tip of the iceberg! I understand some eurobeat isn't to everyone's taste, but I think if you haven't tasted all that there is out there, you owe it to yourself to see how you feel about it. You might be pleasantly surprised!

SUPER EUROBEAT VOL.67 (1996)

20th Anniversary

move: REWIND ~singles collection+~ (2004.03.24)

One thing Avex Trax is really great at is sticking to its time-tested and timeworn approaches. The label started out with mega-popular co-ed, hi-nrg, eurodance groups like trf in the 90s, and every few years, banked on that popularity by trying the same thing, whether by forming more co-ed groups when everybody else had stopped doing that a long time ago, or continuing to explore and dabble in dance music and all of its various sub-genres, like super eurobeat and trance, long after they had ceased to capture the attention of the general public and disappeared from the charts. In the late 90s they did both with the group move.

move were the successors to globe, with a makeup very much like their godfathers: a trio featuring a woman on lead vocals as the general face of the group, and two men, one the MC/rapper, and the other the aloof, technical mastermind. The group began releasing music in 1997 with their debut single "ROCK IT DOWN," and coasted along with a pretty solid set of dance-pop hits before they began making music in the style of the Avex dance-genre-of-the-moment, trance. Their trance-pop phase lasted from about 2001 to 2003. These first two phases of the group's career were collected in their second greatest hits collection, REWIND ~singles collection+~, released in 2004, just before they went into a third, entirely different musical direction, unnecessarily changed their name by adding periods and using all-caps instead of all lowercase, and started declining in popularity anyway. The only thing that really sets this release apart from their previous greatest hits is that move super tune -BEST SELECTIONS- from 2002 was released as a non-stop megamix that shortened some songs and played around with their structure a bit to create a seamless, DJ-like club experience. This singles collection presents each song in its entirety, and also features two years worth of extra singles, in addition to the bonus track "T.R.A.P.," a B-side to "¡WAKE YOUR LOVE!"

Since I fell off the move fan wagon after they stopped releasing trance music, this collection is pretty perfect. It has their most well-known hits from the late 90s, and then the amazing run of 8+ minute-long trance singles from the SYNERGY album, like "come together" and "Romancing Train."

One thing that really sticks out to me about this release is the track list. There are two discs, but rather than proceed chronologically so that the first disc contains singles from the group's first, more eurobeat musical phase, and the second the trance phase, they are split across the two in chronological order, so you get a progression of half of each of the phases on both discs. This really works if you like both of the genres, as it means you get a taste of both without being overwhelmed with just one of them all at once, though it might not work so well for somebody who just wants one of the genres on a single disc, or wants them strictly in the order that they were released.

The limited edition includes a DVD that contains music videos for many of the singles, for 17 in total (for comparison, there are 21 tracks on the two CDs). Just about all of them feature the members in front of green screens or other abstract settings, performing for the camera. motsu does all of the heavy-lifting re: energy and personality, yuri does the awkward, zombie avex-sway, and t-kimura is always too cool to be bothered, busy being surrounded by keyboards.

The limited edition also includes a mini cellphone cleaner that you could attach to the type of mobile phones people used back in 2004. There's nothing fancy here, but you get solid content, and if you like this era of the group, this compilation is recommended over the abridged and inferior m.o.v.e 10th Anniversary MEGA BEST or Best moves. ~and move goes on~.

Catalog Number: AVCT-10142~3/B
