Stay Young (Single)
Artist: The United
Release Date: 8/21/13
Price: 476 yen
Debut single from the FARM Records international boy band. It’s exclusive to Tower Records and features a scant two tracks. I was hoping they’d commission some remixes by FARM producers.
You can visit the official website for more info on the boy band.
J-Pop Cover Densetsu V
Release Date: 8/7/13
Price: 1905 yen
The fifth release in FARM’s highly successful J-Pop Cover Densetsu series, which has sold a combined 500,000+ units. It’s been a while since J-Pop Cover Densetsu IV, which came out in November of 2011. Mixed by DJ Fumi*Yeah!
K-Pop Party Mix Best ~Best of K-Pop Cover Selection~
Release Date: 9/4/13
Price: 1886 yen
Wow, it’s been a while since the last release in this series, K-Pop Party Mix III in March 3, 2012. The K-Pop boom in Japan appears to be fading, and how does Japan celebrate a fading boom? With a Best mix, of course! There will be new tracks, however, including the debut of “Gangnam Style” to the series. There’ll be 50 tracks on the final list.
Anime Nitro*Itaon Mix! Vintage Selection
Release Date: 10/23/13
Price: 1800 yen
Well, this is a surprise. The Anime Nitro series hasn’t seen a release since 2010. Although previous releases had J-Core artists like kors k and Redalice, this new entry looks like it’ll have repeats from Anison Joshibu and Majokko Disco. Hopefully they’ll have J-Core artists remix the songs, otherwise it won’t live up to its “Nitro” name. The two Evangelion tracks look like they’ll be newly recorded, so I don’t think this will just be straight repeats.
EDM Anthem II
Release Date: 7/24/13 ? 8/14/13
Price: 2190 yen
The second release in Universal’s EDM Anthem series. The track list is decent, if a little heavy with mainstream acts. Sebastian Ingrosso’s “Reload” is pretty amazing, though.
There’s more info at the official site. I really wish they wouldn’t set their videos to auto-play, though. -_-

Sequel to Kaji ga 100-bai Hakadoru High Tension Song Best, a.k.a. Top Cheer Up Songs (House Keeping Edition). The track list mostly consists of pop songs from the ’00s and ’10s, but not much related to Dancemania this time around.

Drive ga 100-bai Tanoshiku Naru Girls Pop
Release Date: 7/24/13
Price: 1905 yen
