Velfarre
disco located in Japan
Velfarre (ヴェルファーレ, Verufāre) was a dance club located in the Roppongi district of Tokyo, Japan. Velfarre was the self-professed "largest disco in Asia" with a capacity of 1,500 people, with three floors above ground and three floors below; the club was owned by Tetsuya Komuro and Avex Trax. Velfarre was known for trance, Eurobeat, techno, Para Para, and disco related events. Velfarre held concerts for Avex Trax artists, and was able to be rented for private events. Masahiro Origuchi, the club's founder, stated that Velfarre was a combination of the brand names Versace, Ferrari, and Armani.
Influence
Velfarre played a significant role in the Para Para scene. In 1998, Velfarre hosted its first Para Para event called SEF HYPER, SEF being an acronym for Super Euro Flash. The weekly Para Para event at Velfarre underwent two name changes over the years, first changing to SEF MACH! (from the 3rd Para Para boom) and later SEF GOLD.
Hi-NRG Attack Studios produced several Eurobeat songs dedicated to Velfarre, including:
