This eurobeat song, fully loaded with 80's flavor, is so delicious that those who recognize the genre even if it wasn't labeled "80's" will cry.

Even for those who don't understand it, I think you can clearly find the difference if you listen and compare it to recent eurobeat music. Next, please try to imagine the era in which this kind of music was played.
Couldn't you see the historical and societal backgrounds from that era?

Unlike rock, I think a very interesting thing about dance music is that you could easily see such things.
