Eurobeat

Eurobeat refers to two styles of dance music that originated in Europe: one is a British variant of Italian[3] Eurodisco-influenced[6] dance-pop(this type is only sold in Japan), and the other is a hi-NRG-driven form of Italo disco. Both forms were developed in the 1980s.

The Japanese Para Para dance culture is influenced by Eurobeat. Eurobeat music often accompanies anime, which made the genre more popular in the US, where Eurobeat was historically marketed as hi-NRG (pronounced as "high energy"). For a short while, it also shared this term with early freestyle music and Italo disco.

The Eurobeat and Super Eurobeat genres are used and often associated with the main soundtrack for the anime Initial D, which is about Japanese mountain pass street racers. Many Eurobeat artists such as Dave Rodgers, Manuel, Dr. Love, and others have songs featured throughout the anime. Some popular songs associated with the anime include "Deja Vu", "Running in the 90s", "Gas Gas Gas", and "Don't Stop the Music".
