Hatsune Rock feat. Hatsune Miku
Release Date: 6/6/12
Price: 2190 yen

EMI’s second venture into the world of Vocaloid compilations. Vocalo Dance didn’t do particularly well, so this time they’re going with a rock theme, similar to FARM’s Vocarock series (the existence of which is probably why EMI avoided naming this Vocalo Rock). I’m not sure if they’ll still market this as part of the Dancemania series, given Vocalo Dance’s performance. A lot of these tracks have appeared on previous compilations, so I hope they’re not making the same mistake of having nothing but repeats again.

All copies will come with a cardboard sleeve and picture-label CD. First-press editions come with a special big coaster and cell phone strap.

Price: 2381 yen

Now this is more like it. This was originally supposed to come out along with the “with Vocaloids” version last November, but for some reason was delayed to March.

Acomiku with Vocaloids
Artist: The 39s
Release Date: 11/30/11
Price: 2381 yen

Acoustic versions of Vocaloid hits. Kind of strange to pair purposely non-synthesized instruments with synthesized vocals. The songs are arranged and performed by The 39s along with special guest musicians. There are some really good jazz/big band arrangements on this one, but it would’ve been better if they had used actual vocalists…
