A Digibeat Thread ! =D

I love Digibeat. Just look at my avatar XD. It has to be one of my favorite Eurobeat series. What suprised me though , is the vinyls. The vinyls look very nice , but i guess they are very expensive and hard to find (just like you said)

One of my Japanese friends is supposed to sell me his used PARAHow VHS. If i ever get them (because he seems to like them more than me ¬¬) well i will post some information on them aswell.

by the way , who is Jennifer ?

This isn't the same label behind If You Were Here / Jennifer, is it? That song sounds like it was made in 1994 and appeared on Dancemania before 2000 (if that's when digibeat was founded).

Actually, Digibeat is a sublabel of CHAPTER ONE.
CHAPTER ONE has released in 1996 some songs, and they've appeared on the That's Eurobeat NOW! series.

Digibeat has remixed so they sound more like they're made in 2000/2001

Here is a part of a scan from the That's Eurobeat NOW Best booklet with credits for a song by Jennifer

the Jennifer from Dancemania is the Jennifer from EMI/L.E.D Records ... The only songs i can remember of her is If You Were Here. And her Discogs says the same acutally...

http://www.discogs.com/artist/Jennifer+(5)

Its interesting though WHO is the Jennifer from Digibeat. She is sometimes Lisa Wilson / Warm World or Piccolina / Worm World

As you can see on this credit...

The Jennifer from Digibeat sounds a lot like the Jennifer that sang If You Were Here from DDR, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were the same person.

You Are The One is an awesome song!!

Yes you're double right HAHA!

The Jennifers sounds like each other! And You are the one IS an awesome song

my favorite Jennifer song is Take Me To your Paradise...Nuff said

and my favorite Digibeat songs :
1)Take Me to Your Paradise - Jennifer
2)You Are the one - Jennifer
3)Acid Rain - Katarina
4)Relax - Shifon .T

I never got used to Mark's voice ... Marc.M was much better IMO

Maybe they are one and the same, just on a different label? Maybe she was commissioned by EMI, like several other artists. Also, is Jenny - Do You Remember Me the same as the Jenny of SAIFAM fame(Pussycat Love etc)?

Also the brass synth riff in Tora - Flame and Fire reminded me of some Digibeat songs. You think so? RIP Digibeat.

I've always loved Acid Rain. Never really thought too much about where it came from though, until now. It's a pretty unique song.

The links don't work for me. Even I press save target as... It says couldn't reestablish reconnection. Anyway, My question is does digibeat have any male vocalists and to what lable is it's sound closest to?

Time
DELTA
HRG ATTACK
SCP
SAIFAM
ABeatC
Dima

digibeat doesn't sound remotely like any other label, especially since their sounds progressed through their releases.

my favs:
I've Got Something (4 U)/Viscious V.
I'll Show U Heaven/Catte
Take Me Into Your Arms/Tanya
Will You Be My Baby?/Katarina

Ok. I'll reword the question

Is there sound Romantic Style Eurobeat like Ayshu or Fast agressive guitar driven. Happy/girly sounding, Transy&technoish or just good oldfashion Italo NRG?

That's what's so special about Digibeat, you can't compare it with any other genre.

I will reupload the samples to a different host, and I will upload some more samples of MALE singers.
