In the early 1990s, Eurobeat's popularity was gradually decreasing in Japan. The Japanese Para Para dance culture is influenced by Eurobeat. Velfarre, a discothèque located in Tokyo, was considered a mecca of Eurobeat during the 1990s and 2000s. In Japan, this music is called "Eurobeat", "Super Eurobeat", and "Eurobeat Flash". This attracted the attention of many Italo disco producers (mostly Italians and Germans), though by the late 1980s the Germans had faded out of Italo disco and focused on more popular scenes, mainly trance. The later solo success of Arabesque's lead singer Sandra further introduced this sound to Japan. This did not prevent the release of two Italo disco-sounding singles in 19, produced and mixed by Michael Cretu (of Enigma). Japan experienced Italo disco through the success of the German group Arabesque, which broke up in 1984.

As underground record producers, they sought to recapture the "nostalgia" of Motown Sound with a hint of campy playfulness where the simplicity of musical structures, like in Italian disco, was preferred. The trio of British record producers, songwriters, and former DJs Mike Stock, Matt Aitken, and Pete Waterman were involved in the British underground club culture, encountering the Black American soul music-focused scene called Northern Soul, Italian pop-Eurodisco, and sped-up Motown Sound-inspired tracks.

By 1989, with the advent of Eurodance and Euro house, the term was dropped in the UK. During 1986–1988, it was used for specific Italian 1980s Eurodisco imports, such as Sabrina Salerno, Spagna, and Baltimora but was also used in the United States as a catch-all term for UK-based dance and electropop groups of the time such as Pet Shop Boys, purported to have a "European beat", hence Eurobeat.
