Vibes Zenkai Natsu Mix

Summer compilation from Universal Japan. Mostly the same top 40 hits they’ve been peddling from the last few years, though they somehow managed to have “Samba de Janeiro” on twice. Also, nothing says summer anthem like the theme song from Frozen.
It looks like they have plans for the future of the series, as they’ve already set up an official website.

Extravagant Party ~Chogouka Artist Nonstop Party~
Release Date: 9/10/14
Price: 2000 yen
A new non-stop mix from Warner Music that features songs from all genres. That means artists like Daft Punk, Coldplay, and David Guetta share the stage with Dionne Warwick, Frankie Valli, and Fleetwood Mac. I’m curious to find out if they’ll be using remixes for the older tracks, because otherwise this’ll be one hell of a mess.
French Electro Sound

Interesting songs include Kat Deluna’s “Wanna See You Dance,” which is basically “Samba de Janeiro,” as well as the new Steve Aoki remix of 2 Unlimited’s “Get Ready.”
