What I feel when I listen to this song is that, compared to tracks released after the later Eurobeat boom, this 1983 release is quite melodic.
Many of the later songs emphasize rhythm and are hard to hum along to, but this one is easy.
In conclusion
Even after the boom ended, Eurobeat remained beloved in Japan. As I was putting together this playlist, I felt once again that it was a genre with many Japanese-language covers—so many that the history behind it makes sense. Eurobeat often features easy-to-follow rhythms, so it may have harmonized well with Japan’s music scene, which tends to favor simpler structures.
