Perfect Best -Special Megamix-
Release Date: 11/6/13
Price: 1900 yen
A new compilation from FARM Records, once again featuring house covers of popular songs like, well, “Popular Song.” No word yet on who will be doing the mixing.
Boys Pop Best ~Kiite Okitai Yougaku Boys Selection~
Release Date: 10/16/13
Price: 1800 yen
FARM apparently have boy band fever, as this new compilation will feature dance covers of songs by boy bands past and present. One Direction and Backstreet Boys songs make up most of the list, but there are also songs from The Wanted and various other male acts. Oddly, FARM’s own boy band, The United, are nowhere to be found.
We Are The United
Artist: The United
Release Date: 10/10/13
Price: 2857 yen (CD+DVD Edition) or 1905 yen (CD Only Edition)
First album from the European boyband. I was hoping there’d be remixes by FARM’s stable of DJs, but the only bonus tracks are English covers of “Love Love Love” and Che’Nelle’s “Baby I Love U.”
You can visit the official website for more info on the boy band.
Party Shuffle Compilation
Release Date: 9/25/13
Price: 900 yen
Digital EP featuring full versions from Party Shuffle.
Party Shuffle -Real Hits Megamix- mixed by DJ Mike-Masa
Release Date: 9/25/13
Price: 1900 yen
New EDM compilation from FARM Records, mixed by DJ Mike-Masa. Includes a few new productions by Daiki × ZK and Minimum Cox, but it’s mostly made up of EDM from Spinnin’ Records and other sources.
Best Driving EDM selected by DJ Satoshi
Release Date: 9/18/13
Price: 900 yen
Digital EP from Star Music Entertainment featuring songs selected by DJ Satoshi. Don’t be deceived by the cover which they were too lazy to change; this is NOT a non-stop mix. These are full versions that have appeared on previous digital compilations before, so I’m not really sure what the point of this release is.
Available on iTunes Japan.
Meganimation * Anison Party Mix! mixed by DJ Kenzi
Release Date: 10/9/13 (9/18/13 Tsutaya Rental, 9/25/13 iTunes)
Price: 1700 yen
A new anison compilation from Star Music. Features covers by a variety of DJs, including former Mega Trance producers, Threemason (DJ U*Hey?) and Jack Clavia (DJ Minagawa). Previously available only for rental at Tsutaya, but now available for purchase on other retailers like Tower Records or Amazon Japan. I’ve been keeping an eye out for full versions on iTunes, but nothing so far.
Drama

Release Date: 12/4/13
Price: 1905 yen
New album from Vocaloid producer, buzzG. Bonus items include a cell phone strap, clear file, and poster. Visit the official website for samples and more info.
Artist: ?? (Underbar)
Release Date: 10/16/13 ? 11/20/13
Price: 2856 yen (Limited Edition) or 2381 yen (Regular Edition)
New Live album featuring ?? (Underbar). There’ll be two editions released, a regular edition as well as a limited edition that includes a DVD. Oddly, they’ve canceled the original release, which was scheduled for October 16, and have opted to delay the album to November 20. Not only that, but they’ve changed the catalog numbers from QWCE-306 and QWCE-307 to QWCE-316 and QWCE-317, respectively. The prices have also gone up, with the CD version now costing 2381 yen instead of 1905, and the CD+DVD version selling for 2856 yen instead of 2381. Apparently the changes are because they’ve decided to expand the album to 2 discs instead of just 1.
Bonus items include a cell phone strap, clear file, and poster.

ADM -Anime Dance Music produced by tkrism-
Artist: Emergency
Release Date: 9/25/13
Price: 2286 yen
The EDM boom is still in full effect, it seems, as evidenced by this combination of EDM and anime songs. The music is produced by tkrism, with vocals by Emergency. You can find more news on the group on their official website.
There’ll be retailer-exclusive bonuses available, ranging from bonus drama CDs to alternative CD covers.
Also worth noting is the digital release, available on iTunes Japan. The CD version has full versions, as does the iTunes release, but what’s interesting is that the iTunes release also has an exclusive 50 minute non-stop DJ mix! So, you get full versions plus the non-stop for only 1800 yen, which is about 400 yen cheaper than the CD. Now that is how you do a digital release.
