EVERYDAY AT THE BUS STOPTommy February6
The way the sounds are used is unique, and each sound is adorable.
The singing voice and the pronunciation in the English lyrics are also very clear, so listening to it envelops you in a pleasant feeling.
It was used in the game Dance Dance Revolution, and I often played just because I wanted to hear the song (lol).
It’s a track that’s supported regardless of the era.
Saturday NightWhigfield
The debut single by Whigfield from Denmark.
She became the first female artist to debut at No.
1 in the UK.
The song was originally a hit on the Spanish charts in the summer of 1994.
It is said that its popularity spread thanks to British travelers who visited Spain on their summer holidays.
HeartbeatPassion
Passion is an Avex artist known for strong Eurobeat.
Especially with this song, the melodies in the verse, pre-chorus, and chorus are all great, so I think it would be super fun to sing with a big group at karaoke, and it would definitely hype things up if you dance while singing too! Just be careful not to get too carried away.

I.O.U.Freeez
What I feel when I listen to this song is that, compared to tracks released after the later Eurobeat boom, this 1983 release is quite melodic.
Many of the later songs emphasize rhythm and are hard to hum along to, but this one is easy.
All That She WantsAce of Base
It is said to be a song about women being used by men to obtain welfare benefits for single mothers, known as “stud bulls.” It became Ace of Base’s first hit, and a few months later, the album containing the song, The Sign, spent six weeks at No.
1 in the United States.
ObsessionAnimotion
The original version was recorded as a duet by Holly Knight and Michael Des Barres in 1983.
Animotion’s 1984 cover turned it into a record-breaking hit.
The song is about a stalker.
COUNTDOWNKofi & The Love Tones
As the title suggests, it’s a track that starts with a countdown.
The intermittent sound effects—whether from an airplane or a spaceship, it’s hard to tell—give the song a grand sense of scale.
While it’s Eurobeat, it also evokes the vibe of Western pop from the ’80s.
