Dancemania EX × Trance Paradise

Quake will once again have an Exit Tunes booth at the 78th Comic Market this August, where they’ll be selling exclusive merchandise.

First up is the Exit Tunes 2010 Summer Comike Goods Set. For only 3,000 yen, you’ll get:

• 1. Super Big Size Paper Bag – A super big bag to carry all of your Comike goodies. Features original Exit Tunes art.
• 2. Speed Anime Trance Best Mouse Pad – Club Complex Code has been closed for a while now, but I guess they were too lazy to remove the name.
• “3. Barusa Miko” Bath Poster – Poster featuring the cover girl of UmaUma Trance
• 4. Speed Anime Trance Best Ecstasy Series Clear Bookmark – A set of four bookmarks featuring the cover girls of SATB Ecstasy
• 5. Supernova 2 Clear Poster
• 6. Speed Anime Trance Best 10 Clear Poster
• 7. Deluxe Another Jacket – 5 Kinds – Alternate covers for Eki Trance, Sagyouyou BGM Electro House 2, Gakkou Trance 3 Jigenme, UmaUma Trance 5, and Famitrance EX

Cheaper than last winter’s set by 500 yen. Totally worth it for that awesome alt Famitrance art. When I first saw it I thought Famitrance 2 had been announced. Oh, Quake, you’re such a tease.

More merchandise after the jump.

July’s biggest releases are now out, and full versions are up on iTunes:

Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance Best 7
Exit Trance presents Zenbei No. 1 Cinema Covers 2

Speed Anime Trance Best 7 is selling at a brisk pace, landing at 13th place on Oricon’s daily charts. It slipped to 15 yesterday, but I think it’s outpacing SATB 6. Cinema Covers 2 barely made a dent, but that’s typical for Quake’s non-anime releases.

It turns out that the final track on SATB 7 ended up being the Ryu* remix after all. And according to Quake, it’s an original song. Now I’m wondering where the original, non-Ryu* version will pop up. SATB 7 is pretty enjoyable overall, though their version of “Don’t say ‘lazy’” pales in comparison to the kors k mix. I’m not entirely sure what to make of “Shut Up and Explode,” either. It’s good, no doubt, but it’s also far too similar to the original. That said, MK, Starving Trancer, and B.U.S. brought the goods with excellent remixes of their respective songs.

As for Cinema Covers, I have four words for you: FOO YOU GONNA CALL? I don’t think I’ll ever listen to that song in the same way ever again. Other highlights include “Superman,” “Navras” (would’ve been better with the chanting, however) and, unsurprisingly, “Raider’s March.” Meanwhile, “Welcome to Jurassic Park” ended up being a bit of surprise. I was expecting them to reuse the melody already heard on Cinema Trance’s “Theme from Jurassic Park,” but they used a different motif as the basis, so it is indeed an entirely new song. The focus is also more on pianos, unlike the synth-heavy “Theme.”

So, remember, if there’s something strange in your neighborfood, foo you gonna call?
