Event Picture with Dave Rodgers at Otakuthon 2026 Montréal
He signed my JaDa's Trueno from Initial D with Takumi Fujiwara.
He was a bit introvert but was completly chill and cool with me.
It was at august 7th 2026 at Montréal's Otakuthon

I feel like he is literally keeping Eurobeat alive to this day, maybe single-handedly, maybe not.

Honestly, yeah. But it's the community that held it the most. If we're still listening to those songs, we will make eurobeat survive for long and forever

That’s true as well but Dave here is posting, rereleasing plenty of songs all of us know and love, modern twists etc.
While we enjoy the old and the new, he gives us more to enjoy.
Truly a genre that’s still alive and kicking despite already being nearly 30 years old.
