Eurobeat is a genre that gained popularity as a mainstream form of dance music in the 1980s.

This time, we’re introducing some classic Eurobeat tracks!

From songs everyone has heard at least once to timeless hits covered by Japanese artists—check out this curated selection of must-hear classics!

[Grooving to Classic Albums] Eurobeat of the World: Recommended Popular Tracks (41–50)

The Loco-MotionKYLIE MINOGUE

Kylie Minogue is a singer-songwriter from Australia.

She also worked as an actress, so those who lived through the late 1980s may already know her.

She has produced several hit songs, but one of her most popular works is The Loco-Motion.

Since it’s a track from a time before the Eurobeat genre was established as it is today, it feels different from modern Eurobeat.

If you’d like to experience the history of Eurobeat, be sure to check it out.

You Can Set Me FreeCoo Coo

It’s an exceptionally bright, upbeat track.

I think Eurobeat songs have a special kind of magic—like this one—that makes them fun to listen to and fills you with excitement.

Maybe it’s the rhythm, maybe it’s the melody, or maybe it’s the unique updraft of that era; there are probably many reasons.

I don’t think there are many songs that bring out such a strong Eurobeat vibe right from the intro.

The feel of the track, the slightly long intro, the use of backing vocals, and the striking beat of the rhythm section all make it a piece that fits the definition of Eurobeat perfectly.

V6 has a lot of songs that really shine in a Eurobeat style.

Among them, “take me higher” is a signature track, and if you listen to it on your way to work, you’re sure to deliver a great performance! The song is full of that kind of lively energy.

Also, even though every member is cool, there’s nothing off-putting about them—that’s what’s nice.
