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. -_-
