Hello Wor-ow, it’s too bright out here.
If anyone expected me to host my own Eurobeat blog… it wasn’t me. But seeing as I can discuss my passion and creations without being constrained to the Myspace formats of blogging, I’ve allowed the encouragement of my dad to prompt me to start this project.
For those unaware, I am a Eurobeat fan, alongside being a composer in that style. I’ve always been passionate about music, and my earliest compositions were in just such a style that I would believe that Eurobeat is a style I was meant to write in. The speed and energy in combination with the musical quality and intricacy is one I’ve yet to find in any other genre, much less one released here in the USA; as such I’ve devoted my attentions to it in this blog.
If you don’t know what Eurobeat is, try visiting Eurobeat Prime and doing some reading up on there. Or, if you’re a more active, less “Google it” and more “do it” person, try playing some Para Para Paradise, Initial D, or even Dance Dance Revolution at your nearby arcade. (In the last you may not find so many examples… DDR is removing some of its most attractive Eurobeat tracks in favor of American covers that nobody in the scene really wanted.)
While there are plenty of Eurobeat blogs (or at least Dance blogs that contain Eurobeat) operated by qualified people, I feel in particular qualified to write about current Eurobeat releases, previous releases and my own material. First off, because I write in the same genre (while the actual sounds and software are not as expansive and effective as those who are seeing wider publicity than myself, I don’t see that as any excuse to stop producing), I can understand, at least on some small level, the creative process for those in the industry. However, seeing as I am NOT on such a level (as of the current writing of this post), I also have the perspective of a fan, knowing what they want to hear and what works or does not work.
I will not just post reviews or discussions on the current Eurobeat world; to rely on outside influence alone would be limiting. No, this blog will also be my own personal jukebox for you; a collection of all my Eurobeat I see fit to sell to you; old versions, new versions, instrumentals… you will have access to the results of my passion, the proof that I am not simply enjoying alongside. With these discussions paired with my own contributions, it is my intention to be a known, potent force in the Eurobeat community.
P.S: I’m also not usually this serious. I do have a sense of humor (at least I like to think so) and will include this in as many of my posts as I see fit to impose it on you.
