Week 36 Day 5 - Kingdom of Rock

Welcome to another session of eurobeat songs. This time, I shall take a small step away from Initial D (where I realize MOST of my songs have been coming from) to another form of great Eurobeat songs.

Today I shall feature 2 songs from the Para Para Paradise franchise! PPP as well as Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) are also a major source of Eurobeat songs. The first song in question is:-



Song: Kingdom of Rock by Dave Rodgers


Now first up, for those who find this song familiar, it's because it sounds EXACTLY the same as a song I featured in Week 9 Day 6; V6's Be Yourself. Before any shouts of plagiarism by another Johnny's Associates appear, I'll let it be informed that Dave himself wrote/produced (not sure which is the right word) the V6 song, then proceeded to self-cover it himself, though obviously the lyrics have been changed.

Well, surprisingly, that's all I have for this song. Which brings me to my next one:-



Song: Deja Vu by Dave Rodgers


[Fan remixed version of the song.]

Well, talk about self-covering, I actually found another such song which Dave did (which I also featured here before). The original song was also sung by V6, which I featured in Week 12 Day 1; Take Me Higher. Here's Dave's version:-





Song: Take Me Higher by Dave Rodgers. [Sorry no lyrics attached]

That's all for now folks. As a bonus, I shall give you a Dave Rodgers Mini-mix.


[Live stage perf allegedly]

Next post, not sure when. Till then.

Note: Self-cover = awesome. Though still like the song as he originally produced for. Also, sad I couldn't find Para Para vids ><"
