Dancemania EX × Trance Paradise

Dancemania presents Natsu Monogatari 2009 supported by 9LoveJ (CD+DVD)
Release Date: 6/10/09
Price: 3000 yen

Are you ready for a Summer Story? The early track list is out for this year’s edition of Natsu Monogatari, and it’s chock full of anime and J-euro, much like last year’s release. On the plus side, there’s also brand new eurobeat from Italian labels, as well as Dancemania classics.

For those interested in who’ll be dancing on the DVD, D-tan from ParaParaStage has a post with that info.

Please remember to link back to this post. I like web traffic. ^_^

Akiba Koubou once again take up a lot of the list, with quite a few anime covers present. There’s also plenty of original J-euro including songs by tears, Rumi, and Sunplaza Nakano Kun. It looks like we’ll finally be getting that trance remix of “Bye Bye Para Girl” that’s been rumored since last year.

I’m not so sure about the announced Dancemania classics so far. The Motiv 8 remix of “Wannabe” is awesome, so I am looking for ward to that, and presumably they’ll use the Delaction remix of “Butterfly,” which is even better. What’s up with “Dub-I-Dub,” though? The Delaction remix would fit great next to “Butterfly,” but there’s no remix name listed and I fear they’ll use the original version.

As for new Italian-produced eurobeat, LED appear to be MIA, but Akyr have taken their place, bringing along old Hi-Site aliases. Saifam are also back after missing last year’s release.

Previous albums had licenses from Avex, FARM, and Quake, but that doesn’t seem to be the case just yet. The last two releases had 31 tracks each, so there are at least 5 tracks yet to be revealed. It’s also possible that some of the tracks listed here won’t make it on the final list. Personally, I hope they beef up the trance section a bit more, though I am glad that there’s been no psychedelic announced so far.
