[edit] Sabi

This word just means "chorus," as in the chorus of a song. It's not specific to eurobeat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.102.91.180 (talk) 10:42, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Japanese Eurobeat

Is there such a term for this? Or is it all called Eurobeat regardless of who made the song? While I find this to be a very ridiculous question, a parallel question of this nature does exist. KyuuA4 16:50, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

J-euro? Basicly that's eurobeat sung in Japanese/sung by Japanese artists.
All the Japan-related stuff in the article is really contentious and needs sourcing. Particularly the supposedly authoritative discussion of song 'formulas' and beat types as if it is accepted knowledge, when it is nothing of the sort. IMHO a lot of that stuff needs cutting away until it can be show to be something more than fan pedantry and personal opinion; it's not encyclopedic.

[edit] Labels

An anon added 'Discowarp' to the labels section. A google search returns 172 results... doesn't seem notable enough for an encyclopedia entry, since wikipedia is not an advertising vehicle. "Boom Boom Beat" sems to be linkspam as well so I'm removing that, the others listed are notable labels as far as I'm concerned.--W.marsh 06:16, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Apparently you have little to no knowledge of Eurobeat at all. Boom Boom Beat is a label, however it may not be high on the Search Engines - what is the point of removing it? I am adding it after posting this, to whoever edits this Eurobeat page in the furutre please have knowledge of Eurobeat before editing it - as, Hyper Techno is NOT Eurobeat - it has similiarities, as all Electronic music does. Please do research before blabbing about incorrect information.Krazyche3to 19:46, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Insulting people is not really a good way to make an argument. And I'll edit whatever pages I want, thank you very much. But I'm not all that opposed to leaving Boom Boom Beat up there.
As for 24.11.86.142's edits, I still don't see how diskowarp belongs there. And saying "Your number one resource for Eurobeat information first" is pretty POV, so I'm reverting that. --W.marsh 19:58, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
W.Marsh, BBB and Diskowarp are two important labels in the Eurobeat series, and as a wiki entry it would be proper to allow all truthful information on the genre there for those wanting to learn more. Limiting the information on this entry just because you don't know about it doesn't mean that it shouldn't be there. Be more open, learn more about the genre yourself, learn about what you have cited wrong and what you didn't know about, and everyone will benefit more from this entry. The last thing Eurobeat fans want is false information published about the genre... and just because you initiated this entree, it doesn't mean you know everything. There are multiple pieces of information on this page that are false as is. Don't taint the inquiring minds of Eurobeat with inaccurate information.
Disko Warp Records is in fact a record label making eurobeat music. This is a page about Eurobeat music. Why are they being removed?
Which of their songs is eurobeat, then? DiscoWarp is more of a dance music producing label than a eurobeat label.
Disko Warp has a song called "Pussy Game" on their website which is definitely eurobeat. I talk to Pete Ellison occasionally and he is in fact working on several eurobeat tracks. I've also added the eurobeat label The Paradise Last who's made a good amount of eurobeat songs which can all be heard on their website. Just because the artist's songs aren't on a worldwide label doesn't mean they don't make eurobeat. For God's sake people this is an internet page. Just fill it with the relevant details and not constricting it with your warped views on this is this and this is not this.

[edit] Saiba?

Does anyone have any proof that "saiba" is a term used in the Eurobeat industry/scene? It doesn't turn up any relevant hits on Google and is not used by anyone on the Eurobeat Prime forum.

The term Saiba seems to be a typo - unless I'm gravely mistaken - of the term Sabi (short for Sabishigaru, not to be mistaken for another Japanese term, Wabi-sabi), which is a japanese term meaning "to remember someone or something". This refers to the simple fact that you usually remember the chorus (refered to as Sabi) opposed to the rest of a Eurobeat song when you hear it for the first time, rather than the actual lyrics (which can sometimes be rather mind-boggling when you sit down and try to decipher them). People often talk about the "Eurobeat Blueprint" as being: Intro -> A-melody (verse) -> B-melody (bridge) -> Sabi (refrain) -> Intro -> A-melody and so on. (Also notice how those 4 terms can form the word SABI...coincidence?)

[edit] Wrong Information...

This goes for not only this entry but all the other entries regarding Eurobeat, the artists etc... can we stop posting wrong information and rumors? If you only think you know something don't state it as fact. Thanks... 66.183.157.253 19:10, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
