New collection of Utatte Mita singles from Akiba Koubou. This fifth single features songs from Yuge (though when I first saw the artwork I thought it was Yamadan o_O). Mostly repeats and resings on this one.

New collection of Utatte Mita singles from Akiba Koubou. This fourth single features songs from Anima. No word on who produced each track, but it appears that all of the tracks on this particular single are brand new.

Run ‘n’ Gun/Skill (Single)
Artist: Team KY
Release Date: 9/7/11
Price: 952 yen
Second single from the duo comprising Utatte Mita singers Kouhey and Yamadan. “Run ‘n’ Gun” is a new production, while “Skill” is from Super J-Euro Best Mix. Both are produced by DJ Command.
You can order the single from Animate, but they won’t directly ship overseas. Instead, you’ll have to use a middleman service like CDJapan to order the item for you. The single will apparently be made available on Amazon Japan, but it doesn’t seem to be up yet.
Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance Best 13
Release Date: 8/3/11
Price: 1905 yen
Final list is out, and it’s absolutely dominated by Dizzi Mystica, who has a whopping 7 tracks. Hommarju comes in a distant second with 4 tracks. Booing Day gets 3 tracks, while MK and Icon each get 2. plasma rounds out the list of artists with a single track. Ryu* is presumably missing because he’s busy working on his next album.
Pre-order early to ensure that you’ll get a limited edition cell phone strap.
Ballad ~Anthology of Movie Songs~
Artist: Ballionaire Mafia
Release Date: 7/20/11
Price: 1900 yen
Follow-up release to Ghibli House Essential Piano Set. Produced by Junichi Matsuda, better known to trance fans as B.R.G. Other names that should be familiar to Hime Trance fans include Kei and Missie, both of whom performed songs on Anime*Mix. No trance songs here, however. As the title suggests, these are all slower productions, perfect for relaxing.
Fly Away/Burning Warriors (Single)
Artist: Team KY
Release Date: 7/20/11
Price: 952 yen
First single from the duo comprising Utatte Mita singers Kouhey and Yamadan. “Fly Away” is a new production, while “Burning Warriors” is from Super J-Euro Best Mix. Both are produced by DJ Comamnd. Strange that they chose “Burning Warriors,” since I thought that was their weakest track. “Skill” or “Garo” are much better showcases of their trademark powerful voices.
Unfortunately the single is not available at major retailers. You can order it from Animate or Toranoana, but neither will directly ship overseas. Instead, you’ll have to use a middleman service like CDJapan to order the item for you.
Bukkomi Gachi Renchan Mix ~Age Oto Euro~
Release Date: 7/13/11
Price: 1524 yen
A J-Euro compilation not produced by AKBK. o_O The samples sound pretty good, and even though the tracks have been covered to death in the past, it’s still nice to hear a different take on them. It’s available digitally at iTunes Japan, but it’s the same price as the CD release.
Nyoro Denpa ww ~nyoROBOtics ga Mega Denpa o Utatte Mita~
Release Date: 7/7/11
Price: 1905 yen (CD) or 1500 yen (iTunes)
It’s been exactly one year since the release of Mega Denpa 8, which was supposed to be the eighty release in a series of ten albums. Presumably the main series has been canceled, but Mobilla Knights have released a spin-off CD with songs from previous releases remade here with the robot idol group, nyoROBOtics, providing the vocals. The CD is available in Japanese stores and will also be sold at Comiket 80.
Akiba Koubou presents Utatte Mita Collection Nodoame
Artist: Nodoame
Release Date: 7/2/11
Price: 952 yen
New collection of Utatte Mita singles from Akiba Koubou. This third single features songs from Nodoame. “Aa Mujou” “Don’t say ‘lazy'” and “Uchuu Senkan Yamato” are all resings of existing DJ Command productions. However, “Days” appears to be newly arranged by Sumijun.
Unfortunately the singles are not available at major retailers. You can order it from Animate or Toranona, but neither will directly ship overseas. Instead, you’ll have to use a middleman service like CDJapan to order the items for you.
Akiba Koubou presents Utatte Mita Collection Yamadan
Artist: Yamadan
Release Date: 7/2/11
Price: 952 yen
New collection of Utatte Mita singles from Akiba Koubou. This second single features Yamadan. “Driving Myself” by Sumijun and “Kimi ga Suki da to Skebitai” by DJ Command are brand new tracks. I just realized they updated the artwork, too, but I’m too lazy to change it 😀
Unfortunately the singles are not available at major retailers. You can order it from Animate or Toranona, but neither will directly ship overseas. Instead, you’ll have to use a middleman service like CDJapan to order the items for you.
Akiba Koubou presents Utatte Mita Collection Kouhei
Artist: Kouhei
Release Date: 7/2/11

The first single features covers from Kouhei. “Kokoro e,” “Ai wo Torimodose!!” and “Mazinger Z” are repeats, but “Makka na Chikai” is a new production by Asahi.
Unfortunately the singles are not available at major retailers. You can order it from Animate or Toranoana, but neither will directly ship overseas. Instead, you’ll have to use a middleman service like CDJapan to order the items for you.

Lucky number 13 in Quake’s long-running SATB series. Out of the songs announced so far, I’m most looking forward to “Magia.”
