Eurobeat artists are so adorable, you can tell they're more behind the scenes people but goddamnit they're trying and they're having fun. Fun fact, that's not Niko, or should I say, Maurizio De Jorio (Also known as Max Coveri, D Essex Marko Polo and Edo Boys), that's Edoardo Arlenghi, the promotional model for the Niko pseudonym. Edoardo was supposed to record Night of Fire but they changed it last minute to feature Maurizio's voice instead

[@1256778]

Man, I wish I were a teen or in my early 20s in this time in Japan. It must have been so much fun to learn all these para para dances and dance them with your friends at clubs, concerts, etc. I have such nostalgia for late 90s/early 2000s Japan. I think it's when games like DDR came to the US and I had discovered Japanese street fashion and gyaru, so it really makes me wish I could have been the appropriate age to experience all this myself. Idk why it's just such a cool and fun time :')

[@SoraRaida]

You can still do that now. Agefarre (Japan) hosts Eurobeat in one session of the party and you can ParaPara dance with other fans too!
