Futokoro Trance
Release Date: 1/11/12
Price: 900 yen
Oh, dear. I have no idea what the intent was for the title of this digital only compilation. The kanji can be read as “futokoro,” which has a variety of meanings. If I had to guess, the title is probably “Handbag Trance,” a reference to the genre, handbag house. All of the songs are repeats from Mega Trance, and the track lengths suggest that it’s a non-stop mix.
The release date on iTunes Japan says it was released on January 11, 2011, but FARM’s website lists the year as 2012. Whatever the case may be, I’m just hoping that FARM haven’t forgotten their trance roots.

Jazzin’ for Vocaloid ~covers~
Release Date: 2/15/12
Price: 1905 yen
Follow-up to 2008′s Jazzin’ for Ghibli? It’s unknown if this release is a continuation of that series, but what is clear is that this will feature jazz arrangements of Vocaloid songs. Established club singers will be providing the vocals, though it’s not yet known who will be doing the arrangements. The only confirmed song so far is a jazz version of “BadBye.”

Be Mellow R&B House
Release Date: 12/14/11
Price: 900 yen
Full versions of songs from various FARM R&B House releases. Somehow I’ve been oblivious to the fact that the ZK in Daiki × ZK is and always has been Kazuhisa Hirota, better known to trance fans as Ace Closer. Daiki × ZK have put up lots of preview videos on their official YouTube channel, and I’m absolutely hooked. You can still hear the trance influences in many of the tracks, particularly “Last Friday Night”
Here’s hoping FARM eventually release a Daiki × ZK EP.
