Compilation of famous Para Para songs. Para Para tracks gaining renewed attention for at-home time (1–10)
Velfarre 2000Bazooka Girls
Cristiana Cucchi, the female singer who gained popularity as part of Bazooka Girls, is a hugely popular artist in the Eurobeat scene and has left behind numerous classic tracks.
In Japan’s parapara culture, her “Velfarre 2000” is likely the most popular.
Her vocals soar over the fast-tempo track, making it a masterpiece that combines hot vibes with refreshing brightness.
For those who danced parapara back then, this song is probably quite a nostalgic one.
IKE IKETRI-STAR
IKE IKE is a masterpiece that could be called the best of para para songs.
While it may be less well-known than TRY ME or Velfarre 2000, the track was created based on Tokyo gyaru culture, making it an excellent fit with para para.
It has a pop vibe overall, but you can hear solid Eurobeat elements throughout, which made it popular among gyaru at the time.
Incidentally, the title IKE IKE comes from the Japanese slang iketeru (cool/stylish).
NIGHT OF FIRENIKO
It’s the hit song that sparked the parapara boom in Japan and also the biggest hit for its producer, Bratt Sinclaire.
After Takuya Kimura performed parapara to this song on the TV show “SMAP×SMAP,” the song’s popularity surged and the parapara craze took off.
It’s also famous for being used as an insert song in the anime “Initial D,” known for its fast-paced sound that matches the atmosphere of the series.
With many arranged versions in existence, it’s a Eurobeat classic that continues to be celebrated over time.
MICKEY MOUSE MARCH (PARAPARA EURO Version)DOMINO
This is a Eurobeat arrangement of Mickey Mouse March, the theme song synonymous with Mickey Mouse, the iconic Disney character.
The track gained wider recognition after Takuya Kimura performed it on the TV show SMAP×SMAP, and it’s considered one of the sparks that ignited Japan’s para para boom.
With a powerful arrangement that doesn’t compromise the original image of the universally known character’s theme, it has a captivating quality that draws you into its atmosphere.
Together with TORA TORA TORA, it stands as one of DOMINO’s signature songs.
YESTERDAYCHERRY
Clara Moroni is an artist from Milan, Italy.
She’s extremely popular in the Eurobeat scene and has created many classic tracks.
Among her works, the track “YESTERDAY,” which gained popularity through para para, stands out.
Released under the name Cherry rather than Clara Moroni, it’s a romantic piece that blends ballad elements into Eurobeat.
The transition from a trance-like intro into a ballad-style Eurobeat showcases her high level of skill as a composer.
I WANNA DANCEDOMINO
Alessandra Gatti is a female singer from Italy.
She has created numerous Eurobeat classics, and in Japan she is known under the name Domino.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend is I WANNA DANCE.
It’s known as a Para Para staple, so those who were gals back in the day might find it familiar.
It’s a masterpiece where Eurobeat’s uniquely upbeat tempo and her cute vocals match perfectly.
TORA TORA TORADOMINO
It’s one of DOMINO’s signature songs, released in 1994 by the Italian artist, alongside the Eurobeat version of “Mickey Mouse March.” In Japan, it became well-known when MAX covered it in 1996, which also helped bring MAX into the spotlight.
The title is based on a Japanese coded term meaning things like “charge” or “assault,” expressing the act of rushing headlong toward something.
Both the title and the sound convey an intense sense of speed.
