Not popular by any means. Most people have not heard it enough to recognize the style. Don't know anyone over 25 besides myself who likes this music.

High quality, downloadable DRM albums complete with digital format liners would be a better deal, and would be good for everyone involved.

But yes, the Japanese import store where I shop will happily subscribe you to anything. Of course, it doesn't make it any cheaper.

Payola laws have not been enforced lately, and almost all hits are formulated again. The only way to gain a lasting, legitimate audience is to earn respect and fans with many small releases and musically-oriented live performances over a period of time. Getting heavy corporate promotion up front wou...

The two original sources of eurobeat promotion in the US seem to be primarily anime (Initial D) and games (Initial D Arcade Stage) so the audience is going to be mostly teens and 20's. A tiny number are also exposed through a rare Japanese import arcade and home game called beatmania IIDX. I have be...

Above: Those are some surprising numbers. They apparently went from 700,000 to 17,000 on the next release at one point! Ouch. They must not have sold too well in the 120's and 130's. Even the local store (USA) where I shop had copies of some of those sitting on the shelves for ages. In that store th...

Niko is excellent, and absolutely a fan favorite. I'm sure he will have many great things coming. I'm a fan of Niko. You can't really compare him to Dave - a very gifted singer who has been involved in extensive, continuous eurobeat production, and has a studio company with his name on it. Sure, a s...

Except for "one or two" that consistently miss for me, I think most of the ladies are pretty amazing, talent-wise. Sure, the males are also great. Eurobeat has more interesting male vocals than most popular music. My only complaint against eurobeat is that with SEB some of the vocals get t...

Re: speed

I was a speed fan before Eurobeat, so I have no problem with the trend.

As for Saifam, their speed is not really eurobeat to me. It's been around as dance-speed covers (Toshiba EMI Dancemania) and sounds great as that, but it is clearly identifable as such, even when they try to resemble eurobeat.

Some of those pictures may not be the most flattering. Remember, they are musicians and not pop idols, so don't be too hard on them.

I don't believe the wikipedia definition.

Super Eurobeat is a brand name, not a type of music.

The only thing this series has going for it is the remix quality. Without that, it is just another eurobeat megamix CD + booklet with pretty girls. This year's first version was on the mark, but Wild Reputation 2005 just does not sound right when time compressed (sped up). Otherwise, the racing samp...
