How popular is Eurobeat in your area/school?
Where I attend school, there are a few people who listen to Eurobeat, though just the stuff from Initial D. There is NOBODY at school who is quite a fan of Eurobeat, aside from me.

Yeah, dude, seriously, I envy anyone who chooses anything but the last choice.
I mean, with eurobeat anywhere but east asia, the word 'popularity' isn't even appropriate. I'd be agape with shock if I ever met someone at random where I live who just happened to even have a passing interest in eurobeat.
"Oh yeah, that's that Initial D music. I like that."
I'd settle for that.

I don't bother telling people that I like Eurobeat here because they wouldn't understand.
In London there is what must be one of the biggest CD shops in the world. ( HMV Oxford St).
I can't find even one Eurobeat track in there.
I've been to CD shops in Italy and couldn't find it there either.
I think about 0.000001% of the British population like Eurobeat.

Hm, yeah and I recall once asking at an HMV nearby on a whim for 150 and they said "Well, we have 120 usually in stock. We're out, though."
I don't know what was more surprising, that they had it, or that they were out of them.

Yea, one time when I went there I found a copy of 100 and some other CD's released by SAIFAM (Let's here it for the boy; ect.). I even searched Chinatown for something, but alas...

We really don't have many reasons to complain when it comes to
an italian eurobeat. Most of sebs are in print and just a mouse click
away from being in your virtual shopping basket on cdjapan.
Those who dig this music are rarely at much difficulty in getting
to listen to eurobeat tunes. Popularity for any kind of pop or dance music
in Japan is affected by what gets picked up by major labels an what
charts over there. Eurobeat is an indi affair in Japan,which means
a limited marketing compared to resources of majors.
I have discovered that in a context of 80-s dance music and hi nrg,
you just may find more people who will like this new eurobeat if it is
presented as a hi nrg rather as techno. There is a great number of
eurobeat songs which are essentially a direct continuation of 80-s hi nrg,
but this part is being downplayed while the techno clishes are hyped.
This is where I see a problem.

I saw a lot the point of view on this very forum that eurobeat isCosmic_Bard wrote:Techno clichées? Huh? I don't get it. What does eurobeatr have to do with techno?
eurodance(obviously part of techno genre),or techno(self-discribing).
In fact,there is almost no mention conscerning it's modern variety as
hi nrg or eurodisco in reviews or in forum comments.
Our listeners must be onto something,eh..?

No, eurobeat is not part of the techno genre.
Eurobeat is a subgenre of the house genre.
Other examples of subgenres in the house genre are, Disco, Italo, New Wave, Eurodance Hard House, Anthem Dance, Booty House.... etc.
