Eurobeat

Fast Italian disco

Eurobeat is a genre of electronic dance music characterized by fast tempos, synthesizer-driven melodies, and energetic vocals.

It emerged from Italian disco producers in the 1980s and became enormously popular in Japan, where it soundtracks arcade racing games and the anime *Initial D*.

The term sometimes refers more broadly to European hi-NRG and Italo disco styles.
