When i listened to random 80s i particularly liked "Give me up" by Michael Fotunati. while looking it up I realized it was extremely big in Japan (not the first time it happens, my tastes are aligned to Japan at this point)Looks like it quite literally marked a generation: lyrics were translated, hundred of covers made, Signore Fotunati was invited to perform there... just look @that list https://eurobeat.fandom.com/wiki/Give_Me_Uponly thing i dont get is its referred to a "pioneering work of Eurobeat" on TOW and others. sounds nothing like eurobeat 2 me... anyone cultured in music genres care to explain?Marked for deletion (Old)
Guess i'll post the song to illustrate my pointalso this remix fucking rules https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RRA3pKNYcE
the idol group BaBe's cover of it is one of my favorite songs ever, took me 10 years of listening to it to figure out it was a cover
if you speed it up a bit it almost sounds like eurobeatbut it mostly just sounds like a normal new wave song
this is because it is disco which is where eurobeat draws its inspirations from into what it became
