ciao guys !
thanks for your efforts to reply on this post .
i have read all your replies, but i,m sorry to say that i still notice this depressing thoughts about the future of eurobeat in general.
to reply on the avex strategy plan, please keep in mind that avex has to thank a lot to eurobeat. it was and still is a scource of income to them. i can,t imagine that avex will disrespect eurobeat ever, however, times have changed and i think that avex have addapted their marketing/strategy plan to the times that we live in today !! that doesn,t mean that they will kick out the SEB brand any time soon, they just are going to use another strategy in marketing that will suit these times that we are living in today. i think it will be more positive then that we all think right now, keep the positive vibe alive !!
let me be honest here, the days of the 90,s are long gone, that was the time that the eurobeat was booming and that there were flying millions of copies of SEB cd,s over the counter. times have changed, but is the music changed ? yes ofcourse, but only for the better !!
personally i think one of the problems is the fact that eurobeat is linked to the so called parapara dancing, now i,m going to be very rude here, the biggest mistake ever made is linking eurobeat music to a dancing trend !! trends go by quickly but is the music ? i don,t think so. let,s be honest, the japanese are slowly but surely are loosing their interest in parapara, i think that,s also the big reason why the popularity in japan is fading away. lose the parapara and we have a much better chance in surviving !! i,m sorry, i think i will offend some people here but i really don,t understand the link between parapara and the music, i never had and i never will. ofcourse i respect the people who totally love parapara, i say to them : keep on dancing to what you love !!
music wise, i say, let,s start the experimentation, diversity is the key and allthough i have said it before and i will say it again, musically wise the sound is healthy, look at the productions at dima music, di marcantonio is a clever and multi talented producer, his way of composing and the use of fine layers in his music, make him a strong writer, and he also is busy experimentating!! we can hear this in the DREAM FIGHTERS track on SEB 202. i really can,t understand why people are so non-positive about this track !! the formula is the same but man, the use of ideas and the experimental soundings make this track one of the highlights on SEB 202 !! bring on more tracks with these soundings !!
personally i think the future looks very bright, we have to be positive, one thing i would like to point out here, producers and labels are checking out this forum !! they read this forum and i think they are shockend and amazed how non positive the vibe is, please guys, stay positive, we have much to fight for, but then again the future looks bright, if we only are willing to accept the fact that innovation and experimentation are key elements over the next coming period !!
the future looks more brighter than you think !!
ciao a tutti !!!!!!!!
