A roundup of famous para para songs: para para tracks gaining renewed attention for at-home time

Parapara, which originated in the late 1980s and took the scene by storm at the time.

From classic Eurobeat staples to J-POP remixes, we’ve picked a broad range—so take this opportunity to give them another listen.

Compilation of famous Para Para songs. Para Para tracks gaining renewed attention for at-home time (1–10)

Bandolero ComancheroFranz Tornado

BANDOLERO COMANCHERO – FRANZ TORNADO

Franz Tornado is an artist who has earned support in the Eurobeat scene.

He’s a very niche artist, and I think very few people in Japan are familiar with him.

However, Franz has released a well-known track in the para para world: Bandolero Comanchero.

This track is particularly edgy even within Eurobeat, strongly reflecting techno and trance influences.

Because of that, it seems to have been regarded as a difficult piece to use for para para.

TRY MELolita

LOLITA TRY ME (ISD REMIX)
TRY MELolita

Lolita is a singer who represents Eurobeat.

In fact, the name “Lolita” doesn’t refer to a single individual; it’s more like a hereditary stage name that has been used by two people so far: Annerley Gordon and Elena Gobbi Frattini.

One of Lolita’s signature tracks is TRY ME.

It remains a Eurobeat classic and is still beloved today, and it’s also well known in Japan because Namie Amuro covered it under the title TRY ME ~Watashi o Shinjite~ (Try Me ~Believe in Me~).

If you were an Amura fan and liked Para Para, you’ve probably heard it.

Bad BoyCHESTER

[Tried Dancing Para Para] BAD BOY / CHESTER

If you like orthodox Eurobeat, I recommend Bad Boy.

It’s sung by Chester, and while the track itself is very minor, it’s known among certain people in Japan who like Para Para.

The appeal of this song lies in how easy it is to dance to.

Some Eurobeat tracks can be irregular, but this one isn’t—it’s straightforward, moving along at a steady tempo.

For anyone looking to start dancing Para Para, it’s an approachable track.

BE TOGETHER (DJ KANON MIX)Angel

This song is quintessential Eurobeat—bursting with blistering speed and a glittering atmosphere that’s pure fun.

It was originally released by TM NETWORK, but Ami Suzuki’s cover becoming a hit is also well known.

The original had a lively yet composed vibe, and because it already featured digital tones, it lends itself perfectly to a Eurobeat arrangement.

The high-energy spirit inherent in the track comes through clearly in this version as well.

U.S.A.Joe Yellow

The song by Italian artist Joe Yellow, released in 1992, first appeared in Japan on MAHARAJA NIGHT Vol.

FINAL, which was released in 1997.

It’s also well known that DA PUMP covered it in 2018 and it became a big hit.

While DA PUMP’s distinctive dance has become established, a clearly defined choreography has also been handed down in the form of para para.

What both have in common is the move that indicates the letters in the title, “U.S.A.,” by spelling out the alphabet.

EurobeatDr.Love

Fernando Bonini is a guitarist from Italy.

He’s a leading guitarist in the Eurobeat scene and has released many classic tracks.

He also uses the alias Dr.

Love, and in Japan he’s known for the work “Eurobeat.” As you’d expect from a guitarist, his music lets you enjoy a rock edge throughout.

If you dance para para and have grown tired of typical tracks, chances are you’ve practiced with this song at some point, haven’t you?

Heaven is a Place on Earth is a classic hit that took the late 1980s by storm.

It’s one of American singer Belinda Carlisle’s signature songs and reached number one on charts in several countries.

In Japan, it’s well known as the theme song for the morning news program Tokudane.

In the context of Para Para, this track, with its relaxed tempo, was considered more suitable for beginners.

While Para Para is often associated with Eurobeat, it actually works well with power pop and pop rock like this, too.
