Anime House Project ~Shinkyoku Selection~ Vol. 3
Release Date: 4/28/10
Price: 1905 yen
Some retailers are now listing this is “Kamikyoku Selection” instead of “Shinkyoku Selection,” which I guess makes more sense. Anyway, samples are available at the official AHP website: http://www.animehouse.jp/ Some of the arranges are nice, but “Moonlight Densetsu” is sadly disappointing in the vocal department.

Anison 100 Renpatsu Mega Denpa ww Dai 6 Dan ~Chiisai Otomodachi Hen~
Release Date: 5/12/10
Price: 1905 yen (CD) or 1500 yen (iTunes)
Volume 6 features songs that people in their 20s and 30s should remember from their childhoods. That means hits like “Odoru Pompokolin” and “Cha-la Head-cha-la.” “Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger” doesn’t exactly count as anime, though.

Release Date: 2/15/10
Price: 1905 yen (CD) or 1500 yen (iTunes)
This volume features “intermediate” anime songs. I’m still not entirely sure what that means.

Anison 100 Renpatsu Mega Denpa ww Dai 2 Dan ~Ookii Otomodachi Hen~
Release Date: 11/15/09
Price: 1905 yen (CD) or 1500 yen (iTunes)
The theme of this release is “Great Friends,” or popular anime themes that people in their 30s grew up with. That really doesn’t make sense, though, since Lucky*Star was pretty recent. And Kamen Rider isn’t even anime.

Anison 100 Renpatsu Mega Denpa ww Shokyuu Hen ~Hajimete no Anison~
Release Date: 10/15/09
Price: 1905 yen (CD) or 1500 yen (iTunes)
Oh boy, how does one even begin to explain this series? I think Denpa no Sekai explains it better than I ever could:
Yokohama-based @n-Guilla Sounds and their intense project ????ww (Mega Denpa Ha Ha!) is something that definitely deserves your attention. Between October 2009 and July 2010, the new circle/group/label will be releasing one 10-song album per month, for a total of 100 songs in 10 months!
The schedule has been thrown off a bit, so don’t expect them to release all 10 albums by July 2010. But yeah, they’re planning on doing 100 anime song remixes, with genres ranging from Happy Hardcore to Eurobeat to House to Rock to Jazz to… well, you get the point. Each album’s song selection will be based on a particular theme. The theme of this first release, according to the subtitle, is “Elementary Level Compilation ~ My First Anime Song.”

Disko Warp presents Anime Love Hardcore
Release Date: 4/5/10
Price: TBA
FRECKLES! Pretty solid selection of anime tracks, and the samples up on YouTube sound pretty good. The CD will be available at Sakuracon this weekend. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait until April 5 to order the CD from the official Disko Warp website. The iTunes release will come even later, in May. Unfortunately, the iTunes release will be limited to the US only.
On a related note, Speedisko Vol. 2 was supposed to have been released in March, but it looks like it’s been pushed back to a later date.

Anime Euro Best ~School Edition~
Release Date: 5/12/10
Price: 2284 yen
Super Anime Remix lives on! Well, sort of. Dreamusic will be releasing a new compilation this May with eurobeat covers of anime themes. “School Edition” refers to the fact that the songs will be taken from anime set in schools. I’m not sure why Dreamusic decided to abandon the “Super Anime Remix” brand in favor of “Anime Euro Best,” though I suspect it’s to make it clearer that the genre is eurobeat. It doesn’t hurt that the new title is more similar to EMI’s popular “Wa Euro Best” series. And yeah, the songs will once again be produced by Akiba Koubou.

Anime House Project ~Shinkyoku Buchiage mix zero~
Release Date: 4/28/10
Price: 1905 yen
Buchiage remixes of songs from AHP Shinkyoku Selections 1 and 2. I’m not entirely sure what the “Buchiage” sound is.

Anime House Project ~Shinkyoku Selection~ Vol. 3
Release Date: 4/28/10
Price: 1905 yen
It’s been a few months since the last AHP release, but the series returns late April with this third release in the main series. Pretty interesting track list so far. Most of the tracks haven’t been too overused, with the possible exceptions of “Moonlight Densetsu” and “Joint.” Of course, those two songs are awesome, so we’ll let them slide.
Note that the listed artists are the original performers. The cover artists are not yet known.

Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance Best 9
Release Date: 4/7/10
Price: 1905 yen
MK has a staggering 7 songs on SATB 9. Meanwhile, Ryu*, B.U.S., Icon, and Dizzi Mystica are nowhere to be found. The first two were probably busy working on their own projects, but I wonder why Icon and Dizzi Mystica were left out?
I’m not sure what the enclosed plastic card is about. It’s not a real credit card, but I do like the alternative artwork.
