House Nation 3rd Anniversary
Release Date: 4/7/10
Price: 2427 yen
It seems a little strange to be celebrating a 3rd Anniversary, but at least it’s not a best-of release. Only first-press copies will come housed in a digipak.

Anime House*Hit Parade!
Release Date: 3/3/10
Price: 1905 yen
The debut album from B.U.S. features a number of anime standards. For the uninitiated, that means “Sousei,” “Zankoku,” and other overexposed songs. Sigh. I am looking forward to “Discotheque,” “Uninstall,” and “Naraku no Hana,” however. And most of the vocals will be done by cherry and mamiko, so at least they’re not reusing the same old vocals. I’m wondering if this’ll be a non-stop mix, though, since the track lengths are quite long.

Anime House Project ~Moe Selection Vol. 1~
Release Date: 12/22/09
Price: 1905 yen
Huh, didn’t expect this to be another Vocaloid compilation. Looks like this willl be similarly themed to Quake’s “Speed Anime Trance Best Ecstasy.” In other words, remixes of Bishoujo and Eroge themes.

House Nation -Diamond- (Digital Version)
Release Date: 1/20/10
Price: 1800 yen
Digital version of House Nation -Diamond-, which came out last December. Includes full versions of 16 of the album’s 23 tracks. 1800 yen is pretty steep for 16 tracks, and I’m still not sure if Avex have switched to iTunes Plus.

House Flavor R&B ~The Premium~
Release Date: 2/3/10
Price: 2095 yen
House Flavor R&B is one of FARM’s more successful brands and is especially popular on iTunes. If you can’t figure it out from the title, the series focuses on R&B covers with a touch of house. In the past, FARM have licensed tracks from Saifam for this series, but lately they’ve been relying more on Japanese producers.

Price: 2286 yen
The second release in the Up Beat! series, following last January’s Love Strings. If the first album is any indication, then expect lots of house and electro.

Piano Dance Christmas
Artist: The Standard Club
Release Date: 11/24/09
Price: 600 yen
Piano Dance Christmas came out late last month on iTunes, but I thought it’d be more appropriate to post about it closer to Christmas. It’s more of a mini-album, actually, and it includes one repeat (the inexplicably ubiquitous “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence”).

Anime House*Hit Parade!
Artist: B.U.S.
Release Date: 1/20/10
Price: 1905 yen
Huh, it looks like Quake finally decided to release an Anime House album after all. And in a surprising move, it’ll also serve as a solo artist album, as B.U.S. will be in charge of all the songs. I guess that explains why he hasn’t appeared much on the last few Exit Trance releases.
The album listing on CDJapan claims it’ll feature “Anime Song × Cafe Music,” so make of that what you will.

Rock This Party!!
Release Date: 12/23/09
Price: 1900 yen
A house and electro compilation brought to you by FARM Records. Lots of current and classic hits will be covered. The title is being list as Rock This Party!! at most retailers, but the cover clearly says Pops Rock × House Tunes Vol. 1.

House Nation -Diamond-
Release Date: 12/2/09
Price: 2427 yen (Limited Edition and Regular Edition)
The first-press limited edition will come housed in a digipak case and will include a discount ticket for entry at a House Nation part. The regular edition has neither. Both versions will be the same price, however, so you might as well get the limited edition.

Anime House Project ~Sengoku Bakumatsu Mix~
Release Date: 11/25/09
Price: 1600 yen
“Sengoku” and “Bakumatsu” refer to periods of feudal Japan, so this CD will feature themes from anime shows and games that take place during that time. The release promises to fuse house sounds with traditional Japanese instruments.
Samples are available at the official Anime House Project website.
