A club-oriented house remix was produced as well, earning widespread support across audiences.
It’s especially exhilarating on the road; paired with MAX’s beautiful harmonies, it invites you into an extraordinary musical experience.
Just The Way To Love (Pete Hammond 80’s Style Re-mix)TRINITY
As the subtitle ’80’s Style Re-mix’ suggests, this track reeks of the 80s.
With a dense, busy beat and a prominently featured refrain, you can tell even now that its sound was quite bold for its time.
The vocal melody line also reflects the trends of that era.
LOVE＆JOYKimura Yuki
A single packed with the exhilarating appeal of Eurobeat! Yuki Kimura’s clear, soaring vocals fuse perfectly with Daisuke Asakura’s energetic production to create a high-speed dance track.
Riding a BPM of 173, its bright, forward-looking message evokes a moving sensation, as if a rainbow were arcing across the listener’s heart.
Released in July 2000, the song captured many hearts as the theme for the TV drama “Daisuke Hanamura.” It reached No.
24 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and achieved total sales of 116,000 copies.
Perfect as BGM for highway or mountain-pass drives, it’s also ideal when you need a boost for a tired spirit.
Grip the wheel and set off on a special musical journey to this rhythm.
DANCERMako
With its vivid synth shimmer and uplifting four-on-the-floor beat, this track from MAKO is a quintessential, straight-down-the-line Eurobeat dance number.
Celebrating the joy of living freely through dance, it blends the brightness of the G major key with the exhilarating drive of 154 BPM to instantly captivate listeners.

Human Factory -Electroformed Humans-Perfume
An unconventional work set in a dark, mysterious world was released in February 2025.
Its distinctive sound fuses Perfume’s four-on-the-floor roots with grand synthesizers and a deep synth bass.
Through near-futuristic themes like artificial intelligence and robots, it carries a profound message about unconscious living in modern society and humans as beings embedded within systems.
Also chosen as the theme song for the film “Showtime Seven,” it brilliantly expresses the movie’s worldview from a musical perspective.
Coupled with vocal work that effectively employs mechanical effects, this piece exudes the ambiance of an SF film soundtrack, making it a recommended track for quiet nighttime drives or whenever you want to imagine the future.
HeartbeatPassion
Passion is an Avex artist known for strong Eurobeat.
Especially with this song, the melodies in the verse, pre-chorus, and chorus are all great, so I think it would be super fun to sing with a big group at karaoke, and it would definitely hype things up if you dance while singing too! Just be careful not to get too carried away.
EVERYDAY AT THE BUS STOPTommy February6
The use of sounds is unique, and each individual sound is adorable.
The singing voice and the pronunciation in the English lyrics are very clear, so it’s really pleasant to listen to.
It was also used in the game Dance Dance Revolution, and I often played it just because I wanted to hear the song (lol).
It’s a track that’s been supported regardless of the era.
