You may or may not be aware, but there is a genre of music known as eurobeat. It’s not music that’s meant for everybody. You either love it or hate it. If you have seen the anime Initial D, then you have heard Eurobeat music before. If not, then I can only describe it as very high energy techno/dance music. Empasis on the very high energy.
I have been a fan of Eurobeat music ever since my early college years. I was introduced to it view Initial D, Dance Dance Revolution and ParaParaParadise. As you can imagine, I have been able to acquire quite a bit of this music in all those years. I can tell you it wasn’t easy though. This music is only easily available in Japan where Super Eurobeat CDs are $40. And as peer to peer networks die out it gets harder and harder to get this stuff. But recently, by some miracle, I was able to obtain the first one hundred and sixty albums of Super Eurobeat. That’s right, 160 albums.
Well, the real story here is not the 18 gigabytes of music I obtained. The story is what I did with it. You see, we have a running joke about eurobeat music. An insanely large proportion of the eurobeat songs out there have the word “fire” in the title of the song: Night of Fire, Made of Fire, Fire Fire Fire, you get the idea.
Being a Linux nut I immediately made a nice regular expression and used various tools like grep and locate to make a list of every song with the word “fire” in the title that is on Super Eurobeat volumes 1 through 160. Let me tell you, the list is quite impressive. Here it is.

Didn’t believe me, did you?
How the hell did you manage to obtain almost EVERY SINGLE SEB album?!?
The list is just so impressive, I never knew there were that many songs with the word “Fire” in them.
I didn’t get EVERY Eurobeat album ever, just 1 through 160. There are some newer ones that I don’t have. Also, a lot of these songs that begin with fire are duplicates. Night of Fire appears a few times in different mixes and such.
You should see the list for songs that have the word love or energy in the title.
I was also wondering, what is the Autobacs edition one? I know Autobacs is a car parts uberstore in japan.
Funny you mention that. Of the few actual CDs I have paid for in my life Super Eurobeat JGTC Special 2002 Non-Stop Megamix is one of them.
Basically this CD is a megamix sponsored by Autobacs 2002 Japan GT championship. Basically this is a CD containing the “theme song” for each of the drivers in the racing league on one CD. I think they put a new one out every year. It usually has really good music, especially if you like Initial D.
Can you send this to me? If you don’t mind?
I’m not sure what you want me to send or how you want me to send it.
Host the files somewhere, or send them to me via http://www.yousendit.com to my Email. Please?
There is pretty much no chance I’m going to go through the trouble of transmitting over 10 gigabytes of copyrighted mp3s to some random person. Get your illegal stuff the same way everyone else does. Use bittorrent or some other p2p network.
Ok man, I’m sorry, I just didn’t know where I could get that Autobacs CD. I’m sorry again.
Try http://www.cdjapan.co.jp.
is there anyway you could send me made of fire by niko?
