 Eurobeat is a genre((:fn:>Let's not overthink this for now.)) of music that originated in Italy. Apparently, its original purpose was just to speed up ItaloDisco. Eurobeat then, inexplicably, became popular in Japan.\\
 Following this, the Italians decided that it was most reasonable to market almost exclusively to the Japanese. So the majority of Eurobeat out there was created by Italians for the Japanese. This is also why Avex, a Japanese record company, somehow produced a bunch of albums with Italians.\\
+There's also a related genre called [[lb:hyper.techno]] which is...something.\\
 Now for a bit of a hard pivot.

 This association becomes somewhat obvious when you start factoring in:
   * Songs, which inexplicably reference ParaPara and Gyaru with some degree of frequency.((:fn:>Money Money, Ganguro, Hello Hello.))
-  * Songs which are focused around specific dance clubs which, coincidentally, were focused around ParaPara and catered to Gyaru.((:fn:>Velfarre 2000...Velfarre has a bunch actually. SEF is another one, though the ParaPara wiki collects official club ParaPara productions.))

   * Excluding Super Eurobeat, the album art for many compilations features stylized gyaru.((:fn:>Vintage ParaPara; Ultra ParaPara Dance (Nonstop Mix); Campus Summit 2007. Granted, those are all ParaPara themed.))
   * You could even count all the pretty obvious references to Japan.((:fn:>No One Sleep in Tokyo; Go Shinkansen; Japan Japan.))
 This can be considered cherry-picking, I guess...but I legitimately think the association is stronger.
