Anison Matome
Release Date: 6/24/15

Digital collection featuring full versions of various Akiba Koubou covers. Some of these are quite rare, and I believe haven’t been offered as full versions before.
Available on iTunes Japan and other digital storefronts.
Super Euro Smash Vol. 6
Release Date: 12/26/14
Price: 1000 yen
It’s been a while since I’ve done a roundup of doujin releases, so in honor of the upcoming Comiket and M3 Spring 2015 I’ll be catching up on recent releases and previewing future releases.
First up is sixth release in the Super Euro Smash series, which was released during Comiket 87 late last year, almost a year after Vol. 5. 2014 wasn’t a very good year for Akiba Koubou, to put it lightly. They had a few repeat-laden releases in the first half of the year, but the second half saw almost nothing from them. Even this release is just a non-stop mix featuring repeats from volumes 4 and 5.
Anison Euroid Mix ~Mahou Shoujo Hen~
Release Date: 4/25/14
Price: 1800 yen
The second entry in the Anison Euroid series, which pairs eurobeat anison covers with vocoder vocals. Also available digitally worldwide, such as on Amazon MP3.
80s Kayoukyoku Euro Best
Release Date: 4/30/14
Price: 1980 yen
A DJ Yossy-produced eurobeat compilation featuring covers of 80s J-Pop hits. Not a single new track.
Super Anime Freak
Release Date: 4/2/14
Price: 900 yen
The CD editions came out in late February, but digital versions of these three Akiba Koubou-produced albums just popped up on April 2. Unfortunately, the digital versions are all non-stop mixes. What’s even worse is that they’re all just under an hour long. Still, at least they’re charging almost half what the physical editions cost.
Chouzetsu Kamikyoku Anime On! -Vol. 2-
Release Date: 12/22/13
Price: 1500 yen
A new Akiba Koubou anime compilation that appears to be a tie-up with a live online show called “Anime On!“. The opening theme is composed by DJ Command. Available exclusively through Asahi Productions or from AKBK’s upcoming New Year’s tour.
Anison Euroid Mix ~Mahou Shoujo Hen~
Release Date: 4/25/14
Price: 1800 yen
The second entry in the Anison Euroid series, which pairs eurobeat anison covers with vocoder vocals. The first album was recently made available digitally worldwide, such as on Amazon MP3. It doesn’t sound like they used Vocaloid, though. I think they just took the existing vocals and tweaked them to sound like Vocaloid. I have no idea what the hell the point of that is.
