House Nation Digital Best Gig
Release Date: 3/26/14
Price: 900 yen
The House Nation series lives on with this new digital compilation. Unlike most of Avex’s digital cash grabs, this is actually a pretty good deal. For 900 yen you not only get 21 full versions, but also a 90 minute non-stop mix. Victor Japan recently tried something similar with their Anime EDM release, so I hope this practice of full versions + non-stop mix becomes more common in the future.
Coincidentally, there have been a number of recent articles mentioning that the Japan music industry saw a steep decline in sales last year. Apparently people in Japan have finally stopped buying as many CDs as they used to, and Japanese labels are only now beginning to truly embrace the digital market. Yesterday I mentioned that FARM have slowed their physical output, and Avex have also been releasing just a fraction of the CDs that they used to release. I’m still wondering where Rave Mix 002 is.
Thanks to Arctic for the tip!

Glad to see HN making a digital jump, hopefully the series might even re-start? Weird how this isn’t on their site’s discography yet though. I am also wondering what happened to Rave Mix 002!

This is a pretty good deal. Might just get it.

Too bad most of these songs were already released in full earlier. 🙁

Yeah, it’s too bad there wasn’t more (any?) new stuff, but it’s still an improvement over those EPs they released last year which were 450 yen for 5 songs. I’m really, really hoping they do a Super Best Trance one next.

Was Rave Mix 002 announced? I never saw anything :O

Nah, we were just hoping it would be. At the very least I thought they would keep doing the Rave Mix Boom digital releases, but I don’t think there have been any more of that either.

Oddly, Avex just removed all of the SBT and HN EPs that they released last year. Hopefully they replace them with more stuff like this release.
