EUROBEAT
Eurobeat means two things: a polished British pop sound of the mid-1980s, and a faster Italian-made dance style sold mainly in Japan.[1] Japanese labels such as Alfa began working with Italian producers in the mid-1980s, and the Super Eurobeat compilation series, started in 1990, moved to Avex and still runs.[1][2] Dave Rodgers (born Giancarlo Pasquini) wrote and produced much of it, and the anime Initial D used his songs for its racing scenes.[2] The music is fast and synth-led, with melancholy melodies under deliberately cheesy lyrics.[2]
