A roundup of famous Para Para songs: Para Para tracks regaining attention for at-home time (11–20)
Koi no Ma-ia-hiiO-Zone
In Japan, it’s popularly known by the catchy phrase as “Koi no Maiahi,” but its original title is “Dragostea Din Tei,” which means “Love Under the Linden Tree.” The song is sung in Romanian, and a misheard-lyrics-based Flash animation was created from it, which then grew into a major social phenomenon.
As a para-para dance track, its rise is said to have been sparked by Takuya Kimura dancing to it in a sketch on the show SMAP×SMAP, which further boosted its popularity.
It’s a song that seems to create a fun atmosphere even if you don’t understand the original meaning of the lyrics.
I Love You BabeKING & QUEEN
King & Queen is a music unit under A-BEAT C, a label that represents Eurobeat.
The vocalists have changed over the years, but the unit is still active today.
Among their works, the one I especially recommend is I Love You Babe.
Like Namie Amuro’s TRY ME ~Trust Me~, it’s crafted into a catchy Eurobeat track.
It pairs perfectly with para para.
If you used to dance para para, this song might sound familiar to you.
SpeedwayNIKO
Niko, a Eurobeat duo hugely popular in Japan, has released many classic tracks, with “Night of Fire” being especially famous.
While “Night of Fire” is a masterpiece, “Speedway” is also perfect for Para Para.
As the title suggests, it features a high-tempo, fast-paced melody throughout.
Highly recommended for those who love hard-hitting Eurobeat.
Because It’s a Cold Night… (Euro House Mix)TRF
This is an arranged version of TRF’s classic “Because It’s a Cold Night…”.
The arrangement by the techno unit RAVEMAN and the English lyrics—which emphasize a cool vibe without losing the atmosphere of the original—are particularly striking.
While it carries the bright, flashy feel of Eurobeat, it also incorporates solid house elements, and the more restrained tempo is a major point.
Rather than rushing forward on sheer momentum, it’s a track that makes you feel the beat through your body.
DEJA VUDave Rodgers
Dave Rodgers is an artist who represents Italo disco and Eurobeat—if you like Eurobeat, you’ve definitely heard of him.
Among his works, the track that was especially popular in Japan’s parapara scene is DEJA VU.
When you think of Eurobeat for parapara, you might imagine songs centered on cuteness, but this one comes together with a more rock-like vibe.
If you’re looking for distinctive, standout Eurobeat, this is a must-check track!
Boys & Girls (A Eurobeat Mix)Hamasaki Ayumi
This is an arranged version of “Boys & Girls,” the song that can be said to have sparked Ayumi Hamasaki’s breakthrough.
It’s included on the remix album “SUPER EUROBEAT presents ayu-ro mix,” and is characterized by the dazzling atmosphere of Eurobeat.
While it carries the intense sense of speed and flashy vibe typical of Eurobeat, I feel it firmly preserves the vocals and the sentimental mood that define the original.
It’s a track that leverages the strengths of the original while adding a sense of new possibility.

FANTASYVirginelle
A masterpiece of elegant yet powerful dance music, spun with the heart of Italy.
VIRGINELLE’s crystalline vocals and the gleaming sound of synthesizers create exquisite chemistry, ushering dreams and romance onto the dance floor.
Released in 1990 as a 12-inch single on Italy’s A.Beat-C label, this work—with its high-energy beats and dramatic development—became a symbol of Eurobeat’s golden era.
Featured in the SUPER EUROBEAT album series, it has captivated dance music fans around the world.
The exhilarating lift and wistful melodies unique to Eurobeat are perfect for a late-night highway drive, delivering a heart-racing sense of adventure just for you.
