I still remember those first 10 records like if it was yesterday. I was 17 at the TIME

The very first song i could ever remember listining too was "Get Wild" but i wasnt interested in eurobeat back then. what set it off was Initial D, Rock me to the top. i couldnt live without eurobeat after hearing that song.

I started hearing Eurobeat on DDR, back when I thought everything electronic was "techno." That was over 4 years ago.

At first I wasn't so fond of Eurobeat but over time it grew on me, and now I love it.

Humm happened to listen to some old stuff and accidentally Sinitta's Hitchin' A Ride popped up... Bloody damn awesome! Song is like "ancient" but it sounds quite modern for it's release year.

(and oh yeah, posting in this thread due to other Sinittas mentioned and it kinda borderlines on old eurobeat, not the first experience but still ;)

"Hitchin' a Ride" is awesome! "Toy Boy" and "Cross My Broken Heart" are good too.

(Videos for those two are on YouTube, though they're so bad I can't watch them!)

Ancient? LOL, it's not greensleeves...

(Seriously, nothing has happened which makes today's music more advanced (if anything (music that has major sales) is mostly much inferior), it's just a matter of fashion...)

My first Eurobeat experience was in an Arcade when I heard Tora Tora Tora. D; kinda dumb, but it was Domino so (Though, at the time my friend said it was Max, haha)

Good topic yes!!
My first eb song was oh oh oh girls are dancing.. late in 1991 by The Big Brother.. I have checked now EP database. It was on seb 11... A long long time ago!

I believe my first eurobeat experience was Domino - Gotcha! :p

Night Of Fire from DDR Disney Mix XD

So many similiar threads!

Well, whatever!


My first eurobeat-experience was 5 or 6 years ago (don't remember exactly). Eurobeat was at that time completely unknown to me (don't hit me for that). I just heard Rock, Metal, J-Music and sometimes some powerful wave-music. But I was a fan of internet-memes. And one of them was called "lol, internet". You all know that. But what was so special about it was not Ronald McDonald or the crazyness about that, it was the background-music. It was so crazy, but energetic at the same time. I loved that. So I looked right away, if this music also had a name (it could be that it was made only for this meme, you never know). And I quickly found it: Max Coveri with "Running in the 90s". This is, were it all started. It was love at first hearing. So crazy, but also with so much power and hype. And I love powerful music. Then it came one after another.
In another thread I've described that a little bit more accurately. But thanks to an MEME (yes, to a meme) I became such a huge eurobeat-fan. Funny, huh? I know.
