I love how some tracks that have never even been on SEB are on this. I love even more how DJ Boss felt the need to remix his own track =P It's nice to see the two discs are much more balanced than last year's best of.
I didn't receive Get Wild & Be Sexy yet. What label is Easy Crazy Love? I only heard it on the SEF Para lesson vid and I can't figure it out for the life of me.

Transmission was first released on Tokyo Drift 2009. And yup, it's a Mega NRG Man cover. It's not Eurock though.
Easy Crazy Love is presumably SCP, though the lack of Stefano Castagna in the songwriting credits (Milani, Codenotti, Somenzi) kinda makes me wonder... You can definitely hear Irene and Alessio Milani (Nick Key/Sonic Ray) singing. Really glad this one made it to the CD.
Also, YAY Niko & Domino!!!
...and LOL Niko Kickboxing - SO 2009.

Why do these have to be on a BEST OF album
21... did it really sell THAT well in Japan?!? CERTAINLY unworthy of its position.
A lot's changed in the decade and a half I've been here.

Considering Dave lost Alessandra, Elena and Denise, he's now desperately trying to raise another (and, if you ask me, pretty mediocre) female singer to a higher plane of existence in the eurobeat world. After all, A-Beat C is nothing special without a star female singer. For that reason, I'm guessing Dave paid Avex under the table to have every Futura song, including an unreleased one, on the Best Of album.DarkSky wrote:Oh nooo!!

It's a smart move from a marketing perspective, but personally, I can't envisage Futura replacing any of the aforementioned female singers. Sure, she has a...unique voice, but she sounds so amateurish and underdeveloped that it's unbearable to listen to sometimes.
I'm all for A-Beat C trying out new things, but they're still riddled with the same problems as before. There's a curious pattern to all of this. In a few years (granted that this pattern continues), Futura will leave A-Beat C due to "personal issues" with Dave and transfer to a different label, just like Alessandra, Elena and Denise. Just watch. After that, Dave's fruitless search for the next A-Beat C female superstar begins yet again. A new singer isn't going to magically fix whatever problems Dave is having.

Sadly, Jay, underdeveloped and amateur is sort of "in" in some circles these days... perhaps Dave's bet is that it's precisely the sort of thing Japan wants to hear these days?Jay wrote:Considering Dave lost Alessandra, Elena and Denise, he's now desperately trying to raise another (and, if you ask me, pretty mediocre) female singer to a higher plane of existence in the eurobeat world.

It's a smart move from a marketing perspective, but personally, I can't envisage Futura ever replacing any of the aforementioned female singers. Sure, she has a unique voice, but she sounds so amateurish and underdeveloped that it's unbearable to listen to sometimes. I'm all for A-Beat C trying out new things, but they're still riddled with the same problems as before. A new singer won't magically fix them.
I don't mind Futura's voice much (as long as she's accompanied well enough), and she's a decent writer, if "Dance In My Town", "Fire Dragon" and even "Give Me Sunshine" (on some levels) are any indicators. Unfortunately, as a singer, I agree that she lacks the same "shine" as some other current Eurobeat vocalists have. However, it's better that ABeatC have a sufficient female vocalist (at least one that's tolerable) than none at all.

I'm gonna laugh when she leaves AbeatC and goes to HRG Attack. Her vocals fit that style.

I allways liked Domino Dancing the best. It has her name in the titledrnrg wrote:
SUPER MEGA STARS / NIKO & DOMINO　
that song will no doubt sound like a mix between Night Of Fire and Domino's biggest hit.Which one was that again?¡
Tora Tora Tora? Para Girl? Play With The Numbers? Mickey Mouse March? pick one.
Seems there was a mistake in the JASRAC database, as Stefano Castagna is now listed in the songwriting credits. So yeah, definitely SCP.cheeseman wrote:Easy Crazy Love is presumably SCP, though the lack of Stefano Castagna in the songwriting credits (Milani, Codenotti, Somenzi) kinda makes me wonder...
