magic -Super Model Special-
Release Date: 11/25/09
Price: 1900 yen
Previously known as “Koakuma Magic #2.” I was expecting mostly euro with a bit of trance, but it seems to be evenly split down the middle. Shockingly, they didn’t take the cheap route and license existing covers for some of the songs, so there are a surprising amount of new songs.

Hime Trance 4
Release Date: 1/27/10
Price: 1886 yen
It’s been over 2 years since Hime Trance 3 came out, so it’s about damn time that we finally got Hime Trance 4! This actually comes as a huge surprise, as it’s been quite a while since the last Hime Trance release, and I would’ve expected an Anime*Mix! 2 before another entry in the main series.
01. Shuuketsu no Sono e (Delaction Remix) / Tsukasa
02. Eternal Blaze (Delaction Remix) / Tsukasa
03. Barbie Girl / Savannah
04. I Should Be So Lucky / A.Kay-B.J.
05. Coconuts (Remix) / Smile.dk
06. Licky Licky (Remix) / Crispy
07. Boy / Misa
08. Cinderella / Delaction
09. Without You / Delaction
So far it looks like it’ll be a Delactionfest, with at least 4 Delaction songs/remixes planned. “Eternal Blaze” will be repeated for the third time in the Hime Trance series, but it’s so awesome that I frankly don’t care. Tsukasa will be back with a new song, however, with a Delaction remix of the anime theme, “Shuuketsu no Sono e.” Delaction will also be contributing two brand new songs: “Cinderella” (would’ve been more appropriate on Hime Trance 3, no?) and “Without You.” With Delaction being so prominent on this release, I’d be shocked if they weren’t the ones mixing.
Next up are a couple of Saifam remixes. “I Should Be So Lucky” would be great with a Delaction remix à la “Toy Boy,” though I can’t help but wonder why they didn’t just use the Kylie version since she’s still with EMI. “Barbie Girl” is the more interesting of the two, especially given Aqua’s recent comeback. A 4 Skips vs. Floorbreaker mix would be absolutely ace, as long as they keep all of the lyrics this time. 😉
Smile.dk return to Hime Trance with a new remix of “Coconut,” which is rather shocking. It’s far from my favorite song, and it’s never even appeared on Dancemania nor released as a single in Japan. I would’ve preferred something from Party Around the World if possible, but given the proper remix “Coconut” could be a lot of fun.
Crispy are a surprise inclusion, since they used to be signed with Victor Japan and not EMI. It’s possible that EMI have picked up the rights to their back catalogue. It’s a little odd that they’d choose Crispy over a more established Dancemania artist like Bambee, Creamy, or Ni-Ni.
Finally, there’s Misa’s “Boy,” which could pass as trance in its original form. I’m still pretty pissed about “Dam Dariram” on Hime Trance 3, so they had better spend the money to get “Boy” remixed.
As for what I hope will appear, I’m still yearning for an epic trance remix of Creamy’s “I Do I Do I Do.” Bambee’s “You Are My Dream” is also on the top of my wishlist, as is Ni-Ni’s “Spacy Crazy Girl.” Oh, and give us a REAL trance remix of “Dam Dariram”!!!

Exit Trance Best #10 ~Premium Best~
Release Date: 11/18/09
Price: 1905 yen
Yawn. Mostly repeats from various SATB series, UmaUma Trance, and Famitrance. Although, unless it’s a misprint, track 7 may have new vocals by Maki instead of pageco.

Mega Trance presents Glutton Boyz Selection Vol. 1
Release Date: 10/14/09
Price: 1800 yen
A digital only album featuring selections from Mega Trance chosen by the Glutton Boyz. It’s pretty much all repeats, though there is a new Glutton Boyz remix of Caribbean’s “Charisma.” For 1800 yen you get 20 full versions plus a bonus non-stop mix. Not a bad deal if you like these songs.

Release Date: 1/6/09
Price: 1905 yen

Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance Complete Best 2
Release Date: 12/16/09
Price: 2667 yen (Regular Edition) or 2857 yen (Limited Edition)
It’s a little strange that Quake are releasing this so soon after the first Complete Best. After all, the first one had 5 albums worth of songs to choose from, but there have been only 3 releases in the main series since then. Then again, I suppose it’s possible that they’ll also include songs from Ecstasy, Movie, bitter, and BL. One of the best things about Complete Best 1 was that it had new remixes of many of the included tracks. Let’s hope the same thing happens on this release.
As with the first Complete Best, the sequel comes in two flavors. The limited edition comes with a figure and is limited to only 12,000 copies. With only a ~200 yen difference between the two editions, you might as well go for the one with the figure. For those wondering, the figure will be of Aria, one of the girls on the cover of the first Speed Anime Trance.
Pre-order the limited edition or the regular edition at CDJapan.

Quake Trance presents Quake News #09
Release Date: 11/4/09
Price: 999 yen
Nothing very interesting on this 9th installment of the Quake News series. Unless, of course, you’ve been dying for another remix of “Axel F.”

Exit Trance presents Famitrance EX
Release Date: 11/4/09
Price: 1905 yen
Despite the title being an allusion to Famicom, Famitrance isn’t limited solely to Famicom themes. Final Fantasy is well represented, with at least 5 tracks ranging from VII to X-2. All the big vocal themes from “Eyes on Me” to “Sutaki da ne” are covered, along with a few instrumental tracks.
Mother, Sakura Taisen, and Nobunaga’s Ambition get a healthy two tracks each, while it appears that Dragon Quest is only getting one. It would’ve been interesting if they had licensed a Bemani song by Ryu*, but I’m more than happy with him taking on the Tetris theme.
While the track list does look very strong and varied, I can’t help but be disappointed by the lack of Mario or Zelda themes. And what’s up with the random Goonies track? Oh well, still very much looking forward to this.

Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance Best 8
Release Date: 11/4/09
Price: 1905 yen
The eighth release in the Speed Anime Trance Best series. K-On! gets two tracks once again, including the lead track. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Kanamemo also get two tracks each.
After working hard on his debut album, Ryu* returns to Exit Trance with an original song sung by Maki.

Anime Nitro*Itaoto Mix! vol. 2
Release Date: 12/9/09
Price: 1905yen
The follow-up release to Anime Nitro comes out this December. K-On! and Evangelion fans should be happy with the early list, as it includes two themes from each of those series. The rest of the list seems to be a good mix of older and more recent tracks.
No word on what artists will be involved, but I’d expect many of the contributors to the first Anime Nitro to show up again.

Evacuate the Dancefloor
Artist: Cascda
Release Date: 10/21/09
Price: 2000 yen
No new DJ Uto or DJ Yoshinori remixes. 🙁 Instead, we’re stuck with an electro remix and a piano house remix from The Standard Club.

Quake Trance presents Quake News #10
Release Date: 12/2/09
Price: 999 yen
The 10th and possibly final release in the Quake News series. The early list probably isn’t too indicative of the final one, seeing as some of these songs have already appeared on previous QN releases.
