No.1 Party Mix -Ultra Hits R&B- mixed by Satoshi Hoshino
Release Date: 5/13/15
Price: 1850 yen
New entry in Star Music’s No.1 Part Mix series, which hasn’t seen a release since 2013. The first release was composed of Power Music licenses and included a few remixes by Japanese artists like ET-Q, DJ Satoshi and U*Hey?. And then they repeated those remixes endlessly for two years. It’s probably not a good sign that the early list has songs from previous entries in the series. Also interesting that DJ Satoshi is going by his full name now.

Release Date: 6/3/15

A new EDM compilation from FARM Records. I don’t know if this is a continuation of the “Party Splash” series, or a new series altogether. I imagine it’ll mostly be Spinnin’ Records licenses.
Best of 2015 -1st Half- mixed by DJ Ryu-1
Release Date: 5/20/15
Price: 1680 yen
FARM didn’t release a single CD in April, so I was beginning to worry that they were switching to all-digital releases. Thankfully they have a couple of CDs announced for May and June, so it looks like my worries were unfounded, at least for now. Their May release will be the third album in the “Best of 20XX” series mixed by DJ Ryu-1. Usually the series has house covers of top 40 songs, arranged by FARM’s in-house composers.
Best of Denpa Song!!
Release Date: 3/25/15
Price: 1800 yen
New anison cover series, featuring the best of denpa songs. Pretty interesting track list, with a mix of classics and newer stuff. Can’t seem to find any samples, but I usually associate denpa with electronic music and high-pitched vocals.
