Dengou Sekka! Anison Cover Mix!!
Release Date: 10/23/13
Price: 1714 yen
Another release in Akiba Koubou’s Anison Cover Mix!! series. I don’t know why, but I have a strange feeling that there’s some sort of theme to this release. Anyway, lots of repeats from AKBK’s back catalogue, but I also spot some new tracks.
Kaiun Densetsu 777 ~Hyper Bonus~
Release Date: 8/7/13
Price: 1800 yen
This Pachislot-themed CD features Eurobeat covers of popular anime themes. In other words, it’s yet another excuse for Akiba Koubou to showcase the same old repeats.
Akiba Koubou presents Utatte Mita Collection
Release Date: 7/24/13
Price: 952 yen
All releases from Akiba Koubou’s Utatte Mita Collection series will finally be available at major retailers. That’s 18 singles at 1,000 yen and 1 album for 1,500 yen. That’s almost $200 for the whole collection. o_O Hopefully they just release them all digitally.
Edit (7/31/13): All of the singles and the album are up on iTunes Japan. The singles are 800 yen each, while the album is 1,800 yen.
Past and Future
Artist: Team Jyunjyo
Release Date: 6/22/11
Price: $9.90
Album from the girls pop duo, Team Jyunjyo. Includes two songs produced by Tsukasa “Rayto/Tks” Baba. There are also two tracks attributed to MK, but it’s unclear whether it’s the MK from Exit Trance, Masakazu Kageyama. The album is available on iTunes as well as lots of other digital download services.
Zutto…Agetai (Single)
Artist: Dance Pop Girls
Release Date: 10/15/11
Price: $1.99
Second and apparently final single from the dance pop girls group. Unlike their first single, only one of the two songs is produced by Akiba Koubou artist, Tsukasa “Rayto/Tks” Baba. The single is available on iTunes as well as lots of other digital download services.
Jyounetsu no Kanata / Dance Pop Girls (Single)
Artist: Dance Pop Girls
Release Date: 6/22/11
Price: $1.99
Interesting release from 2011. It features two songs from a Japanese girl group, Dance Pop Girls, but the interesting thing is that the single was released worldwide. Plus, both songs were produced by Akiba Koubou producer, Tsukasa “Rayto/Tks” Baba. Because of Rayto’s involvement, the songs have a fun rock/eurobeat sound. The single is available on iTunes as well as lots of other digital download services.
J-Pop charge ~Summer Hits~
Release Date: 7/10/13
Price: 1714 yen
A new series from Akiba Koubou featuring J-Pop summer hits. Features a lot of repeats from the similarly themed Natsu Euro.
Akiba Koubou presents Utatte Mita Collection
Release Date: 7/24/13
Price: 952 yen
This is interesting. A majority of the Akiba Koubou presents Utatte Mita Collection singles that have been released over the past two years will finally see a wide release this July. The series includes singles from popular utaite like Kouhey, Yamadan, Hanatan, and many, many more. There are 15 singles in all, so collecting them all will cost upwards of 15000 yen, ouch. I wish they were a little cheaper, especially since they only have 4 songs each. Maybe they’ll at least release them digitally. A full list of available singles after the jump.
Update! (6/10/13): Additional titles have been added. Basically, all releases in the Utatte Mita Collection series will be available at major retailers.
Kaiun Densetsu 777 ~Hyper Bonus~
Release Date: 8/7/13
Price: 1800 yen
This Pachislot-themed CD features Eurobeat covers of popular anime themes. In other words, it’s yet another excuse for Akiba Koubou to showcase the same old repeats. The early list reads suspiciously like a lost entry from Tokuma Japan’s Geki Atsu! J-Euro series.
Tenshin Ranman! Anison Cover Mix!!
Release Date: 6/5/13
Price: 1714 yen
Sequel to Hyakkaryouran! Anison Cover Mix!! A few new tracks in the first half, but the second half is loaded with repeats.
Toho Eurobeat presents The Revival Mix
Release Date: 5/26/13
Price: 1500 yen
Doujin release featuring eurobeat covers of popular touhou songs. This is the first TEB release of 2013, and is basically a remix best album. There are a few new songs, but most of the album is composed of remixes of older songs with new vocals as well. You can visit the official website for a crossfade demo and more info.
Geki Atsu! Pachi Best
Release Date: 1/25/12
Price: 2000 yen
I mentioned this release early last year, but apparently its release was extremely limited, mostly at pachinko halls. I only recently finally confirmed the track list. It’s a best-of compilation featuring the best tracks from the Geki Atsu! J-Euro series. Definitely a rare item to look out for if you’re a collector of AKBK releases.
J-Pop charge ~Summer Hits~
Release Date: 7/10/13
Price: 1714 yen
A new series from Akiba Koubou featuring J-Pop summer hits. Err… didn’t they already release this as Natsu Euro? Featured vocalists include Shihori, Usa, Maki, Kohama, and Mi->Na.
Unreleased & Rare Remixies
Release Date: 2012
Price: $16
A doujin release from famed trance/eurobeat artist, Remo-Con. As the title suggests, it features rare and unreleased remixes. You can listen to samples on the official website. Disko Warp has a few copies of the CD up for sale on their Bandcamp.
Super Euro Smash Vol. 3
Release Date: 4/27/13
Price: 952 yen
The Super Euro Smash series gets a third release, but unfortunately it’s just a non-stop mix featuring all of the songs from the first two volumes. Kinda pointless, since the previous volumes already had mini-megamixes. There is a new DJ katsu remix of “Our Generation,” though.
The album will be available at Akiba Koubou’s booth during the Nico Nico Cho Kaigi 2 event.
