Freedom (Global Extended Mix)globe
KEIKO’s voice, with its range and slight huskiness, really is cool.
Everyone knows they’re a monster artist—with a Japan Record Award and double million sales—and once again I was reminded of just how amazing Tetsuya Komuro’s songwriting and arrangements are.
GO! GO! ~Yume no Hayasa de~Amuro Namie with SUPER MONKEYS’
The chorus line “GOGO!” really gets you hyped! Eurobeat fans will absolutely love it.
Speaking of Namie Amuro, she’s a singer who reigned at the top in Japan for many years.
Her voice now is wonderful, but her voice when she was younger was even more beautiful.
Her vocals, loved across generations, truly shine in Eurobeat! This is a great chance to go back and listen to her older songs.
I mean, her voice fits perfectly with the structure and sound of Eurobeat!

Eat You UpAngie Gold
I imagine there’s hardly anyone who doesn’t know this song.
It became a huge hit when Yoko Oginome covered it.
Some people who aren’t familiar with Western music even said things like, “A foreign singer is singing Oginome’s song!”—it’s a classic example of a cover version becoming more famous than the original.

The phrase that sticks with me is that it’s a ‘cute song.
‘ I think the intro gives you that feeling, but as the track progresses, it gradually shifts into something more and more powerful.
I don’t think it was much of a hit in Japan, but it’s definitely a song I’d love for you to know.
