Dancemania EX × Trance Paradise

Disko Warp presents Anime Love Hardcore 2
Artist: Initial P
Release Date: 4/10/12 ? 4/24/12
Price: $9.90

Two years after the release of Anime Love Hardcore, Initial P finally gets off his lazy ass and brings us a sequel full of more hard-stomping happy hardcore covers of anime themes. Although Disko Warp have recently been experimenting with eurobeat and hyper techno, make no bones about it: this is a hardcore album made for hardcore fans.

Samples are available at the Disko Warp website as well as SoundCloud.

Thanks to the successful Kickstarter, you can order a physical copy of the album from Big Cartel. The album will also be available digitally as an iTunes exclusive. Sorry, non-US fans, both the CD and digital version won’t be available internationally due to licensing restrictions.

Full review and samples after the jump.

Glitter/Kamiuta
Artist: Mayumi Morinaga
Release Date: 6/6/12
Price: 2381 yen (CD+DVD Edition) or 1905 yen (CD Only Edition)

Five years after the release of her debut song, “One Million Miles,” Mayumi Morinaga finally comes out with her first album! The lead single will be “Glitter (Starving Trance Remix),” which is currently being used as the ending theme of the anime, “Fairy Tail.” The CD+DVD version will include a DVD featuring the “Glitter” music video as well as the “Fairy Tail” ending video w/o credits.

So far the only song announced has been “Glitter,” though I’m assuming there’ll also be a track titled, “Kamiuta.” You can probably also expect songs from here recent singles, and possibly some of her Bemani work. I’m hoping for an updated remix of “One Million Miles” for old times’ sake, but that would require Quake to remember their Exit Trance roots and we all know how likely that is.

Zoku Fami Compi
Release Date: 5/23/12
Price: 1800 yen

Sequel to last year’s Fami Compi. Again, there are some obscure choices, but I suppose the world didn’t need yet another arrangement of the Super Mario Bros. theme. Artimage uploaded samples from the first album on SoundCloud. Presumably you can expect the same kind of sound for this one.
