Super Eurobeat (Japanese: スーパー ユーロビート, Abbreviation: SEB) is a CD compilation series of Eurobeat music in Japan. The series itself is one of the longest running in the entire world. It has been running for over twenty years and currently consists of 233 volumes (not counting the many "Super Eurobeat presents" albums). Originally, Time Records, Flea Records and Discomagic were some of the record labels that appeared on the original Super Eurobeat albums. The series began as a Beat Freak release, which lasted for 8 albums, after that the series was changed over to Avex, and that's also when A-Beat C joined in. The first 10 volumes of Super Eurobeat are mostly Italo disco, which is quite different from the modern Eurobeat. The slower beats and serious 80's tone make this music stand out from the rest.[1] The term "Super Eurobeat" is sometimes misunderstood and misused by people outside Japan as a music genre (which is synonymous to the Eurobeat genre used in Japanese market).
