U.s.a. (Extended Vocal Remix)Joe Yellow
Joe Yellow’s classic track “U.S.A.
(Extended Vocal Remix).” Released in Italy—the heartland of Eurobeat—in 1992, the song became a hit in Japan five years later.
And in 2018, it was covered in Japanese by DA PUMP, so many of you may find it familiar.
While DA PUMP’s version is a high-purity Eurobeat as well, this original delivers an even richer, more intense Eurobeat experience.
Dragostea Din TeiO-Zone
Known in Japan by the title “Koi no Maiahi,” O-Zone’s classic hit “Dragostea Din Tei” hails from the Moldovan music group.
It became a massive hit in Japan in 2004, and recently it has sparked a new boom among younger generations thanks to posts on TikTok.
Maybe Japanese people are innately inclined to like Eurobeat (lol).
Since Moldova is located in Eastern Europe, the sound leans somewhat toward an Arabian vibe, and you can enjoy that element in the chorus of this track—so don’t miss it!
