Exit Trance presents Tokusatsu Trance 3 Gouki (Unit 3)
Release Date: 9/16/09
Price: 1905 yen

Once again, the list is dominated by Super Sentai and Kamen Rider themes. “Midnight Dekaranger” is a fantastic big band song that has insanely catchy lyrics, so I’m certainly looking forward to that one.

I’ll die happy if they ever do the Power Rangers theme. Make it happen, Quake!

Exit Trance presents CM Covers 4
Release Date: 9/16/09
Price: 1905 yen

“Glamorous Sky” is the latest Ouendan song to get an Exit Trance remix! I’m also looking forward to hearing how Joe Hisaishi’s “Oriental Wind” translates to trance. I’m not familiar with most of the other songs, though I’m assuming “Butterfly” won’t be the Smile.dk song.

Exit Trance × Ita G presents Itasha Trance 2
Release Date: 9/16/09
Price: 1905 yen

Not a single new track on this latest repackaging of SATB songs. The cover doesn’t mention Ita G (short for Itasha Graphics magazine), so it’s possible they’re not involved with this release.

Exit Trance presents Sagyouyou BGM Trance 3
Release Date: 10/7/09
Price: 1905 yen

There’s a bit of confusion surrounding this release. Some retailers are listing it as Electro House 3, but others are listing it as Trance 3. Quake haven’t provided an early list yet so it’s hard to tell which it’ll be.

Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance bitter
Release Date: 8/19/09
Price: 1905 yen

Fairly interesting list, though some of the songs don’t make sense. Is “Galaxy Express 999” really a bittersweet song?

Dragon Quest Best Dance Mix ~Extended Mix~
Artist: DragonFly
Release Date: 7/8/09
Price: 1800 yen

Released to capitalize on the debut of Dragon Quest IX. This digital only release features extended versions of the songs from Dragon Quest Best Dance Mix, with songs ranging from approx. 6-9 minutes. The total length of all the extended tracks is about an hour and nine minutes, which means they would’ve fit onto the CD in the first place.

You can get the digital only album from iTunes or Musico.

Exit Trance presents Tokusatsu Trance 3 Gouki (Unit 3)
Release Date: 9/16/09
Price: 1905 yen

Quake have covered quite a few Sentai themes and Kamen Rider songs already. I’m not really sure what they have left to cover, but apparently they think there’s still enough material out there to warrant a third Tokusatsu Trance release. Again, no preliminary track list.

Pre-order at CDJapan.

Exit Trance presents CM Covers 4
Release Date: 9/16/09
Price: 1905 yen

Fourth release in the CM Trance/Covers series, featuring trance covers of songs featured in commercials. Quake have been stingy with the early track lists lately, so I have no idea what tracks to expect.

Pre-order at CDJapan.

Exit Trance × Ita G presents Itasha Trance 2
Release Date: 9/16/09
Price: 1905 yen

Took a while for a sequel to Itasha Trance to materialize, although I’m surprised there’s a follow-up release at all. Itasha Trance is sort of geared towards the otaku car culture, and as such, you can expect lots of repeats from the Speed Anime Trance Best releases.
