Exit Trance presents R25 Speed Anime Trance Best 5
Release Date: 2/17/10
Price: 1905 yen
The R25 series is back after a long hiatus, apparently sans the Ghibli theme. I guess they finally ran out of Ghibli songs to do. The jacket illustration will once again be done by Keiko Sootome.

Exit Trance presents Denpa Trance
Release Date: 2/17/10
Price: 1905 yen
I have absolutely no idea what denpa is, but it’s the theme of Quake’s latest Exit Trance series. Moe Mania suggests that “Denpa-kei is a certain genre of music, used in anime, hentai and games. It’s often very cute, explicit and sometimes a bit off-putting, depending on who you ask. All in all, it’s very very moe!” So, uhh, yeah. I don’t see how that’s any different than their Ecstasy series. ^^; If I’m understanding it correctly, then the songs will be similar to “Motteke! Sailor Fuku.”
Pre-order at CDJapan.

Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance Best The Movie 2
Release Date: 1/6/09
Price: 1905 yen
The follow-up release to SATB The Movie starts the new year off with more popular anime movie themes. The tracks are almost all new except for track 17, “One more time, One more chance,” which previously appeared on UmaUma Trance 4. However, this version will have new vocals from Takanori instead of Nine.
Again, B.U.S. is noticeably absent, no doubt busy working on his album.

Trance Rave presents Club atom -The Best-
Release Date: 2/10/10
Price: 1900 yen
The CD was originally listed as “Club atom Vol. 5,” but the title has since been changed. This is actually a rather surprising release since Vol. 4 was released way back in 2007. I wonder what would prompt Victor to release another CD in the series after such a long hiatus? CDJapan’s description suggests that the CD will include not only trance, but house as well.

Black Out
Artist: Overhead Champion
Release Date: 10/28/09
Price: 300 yen
OHC is back with another digital only release. It actually came out in late October but I kept forgetting to post about it. ^^;
Black Out / Overhead Champion
Overhead Champion | MySpace Video
01. [7:11] Black Out (Extended ver.)
02. [3:44] Black Out (Radio Edit)
The single is now available for purchase on iTunes and various other Japanese download services. Keep in mind that Avex still haven’t made the switch to iTunes Plus, so if you grab the single from there you’ll get saddled with DRM and likely a low bit rate as well.

Trance Rave Best XIX
Release Date: 12/23/09
Price: 1900 yen
Delayed a week from its original December 16 release date. Although the CD is mostly composed of repeats from Quake Trance, there are a few new tracks by established epic trance producers. Expect new tracks from DJ Tora, DJ Ozawa, DJ Kenny, and Overhead Champion, among others.

Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance Complete Best 2
Release Date: 1/20/10
Price: 2667 yen (Regular Edition) or 2857 yen (Limited Edition)
SATB Complete Best 2 was originally scheduled for release on December 16, but was delayed at the last minute to January 20 of next year. I’m not sure what the reason is for the delay, but I doubt the track list will change between now and January.
Speed Anime Trance Complete Best 2 serves up repeats from various SATB releases of the last year. SATB 7 gets the most love with 8 tracks, though SATB 8 is close behind with 7. SATB 6 only gets 4, however, which happens to be the same number of tracks that The Movie has represented. Meanwhile, Ecstasy gets 1 while Ecstasy Second Season gets 2. Surprisingly, the very first Code Speed Anime Trance Best is also sort of represented, with new remixes of three classic tracks. I guess that explains why the special figure is of Aria, one of the cover models for the first SATB. As far as I can tell, there’s only one new track. There don’t appear to be any new remixes, but we won’t know for sure until the album is out.
As with the first Complete Best, the sequel comes in two flavors. The limited edition is limited to only 12,000 copies and comes with a figure of Aria as well as sexier cover art. The regular cover has the girls in their original outfits. It’s a little strange that they have the cover model from Ecstasy so prominent, since there’s only one track from that CD.

Exit Trance presents UmaUma Dekiru Trance wo Tsukutte Mita 7 – Shiharai wa Makasero BariBari
Release Date: 2/3/10
Price: 1905 yen (Regular Edition) or 3143 yen (Limited Edition)
The seventh release in the UmaUma Trance series comes out next February in both a regular, CD only edition and a limited edition featuring a Duel Maid figure of Rinne, the cover girl on SATB 6 (huh?!). The limited edition is limited to only 3,000 copies.
Unfortunately, there’s absolutely no word on what songs may be included.
Pre-order the limited edition or the regular edition at CDJapan.

Hime Trance 4
Release Date: 1/27/10
Price: 1886 yen
It’s Jasmine!!! Still no final track list, but updated descriptions are saying that it’ll feature trance remixes of popular Eurobeat songs, which may mean some Wa Euro Best crossovers. There was a rumor a while back that Nagisa would be appearing on Hime Trance, so maybe that’ll come to fruition.
CDJapan also claim that a first-press bonus will be included. If past releases are any indication, it’s probably just a sticker sheet again.

Anime Nitro ANiRe:MATiON EGGs
Release Date: 1/27/10
Price: 1905yen
Originally titled Anime Nitro*Itaoto Mix! vol. 2, the CD has since undergone a name change. It’s also been delayed from 12/9/09 to 1/27/10. Redalice and Maki Eguchi, who both appeared on the first Anime Nitro, are scheduled to appear.

Quake Trance presents Quake News #10
Release Date: 12/2/09
Price: 999 yen
There’s no Quake News release planned for January or February, so either this is the last release in the series or they’ll be taking a break for a while. Once again, the final list has no tracks from the preliminary one.

Exit Trance presents Eki Tra
Release Date: 12/2/09
Price: 1905 yen
The title translates to “Station Trance” and will primarily feature trance covers of “Hassha Melodies,” which are the jingles played at train stations when trains arrive/depart. MK and Dizzi Mystica take up most of the album, with B.U.S., Acid=Stone Valley and Hommarju being conspicuously absent.

Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance BL
Release Date: 12/2/09
Price: 1905 yen
The cover art is a little boring considering the subject matter, but maybe that’s a good thing?
