Speed Star
Release Date: 4/27/14
Price: 1500 yen
The four foreign guest artists have been revealed for this upcoming Speed compilation, and it looks like I was correct in my guesses of JAKAZiD and Chris Bucknall. Surprisingly, Chris Bucknall is back with his old collaborator, Kristian Dee (previously known as Christian D, who provided the rap for CJ Crew’s Rhythm & Police). The other guest artists include 3R2 (from Taiwan) and Crash & D-Shark Feat. Bridson (from Ireland / Finland / United Kingdom).
Crossfade demos for both discs have also been released. I believe that both discs have full versions.
The CD will be available at the upcoming M3-2014 event in Japan, which is currently scheduled for April 27. Foreign buyers can buy it by contacting DJ Hyuji: http://rttf.eternalbreeze.net/contact.html. I previously speculated that the album would be made available digitally (and the contest page still mentions it), but I see no mention of that on the current page.

Sound very promising.
A digital version would make it easier to buy.

He indicated on twitter that an iTunes release is being planned, but I don’t know if it’ll be on the same day as the CD release.

Well, that’d be great. If it’s unmixed though I might just buy the CD.
Is it easy to order from Hyuji?

Yup, his English is very good and he’ll ship pretty much anywhere by EMS. The only caveat is that I believe he only accepts Paypal.
Oh, I should also mention that he usually includes a bonus CD-R if you order from him directly.

Thanks.
