Anime Nitro*Itaoto Mix! vol. 2
Release Date: 12/9/09
Price: 1905yen
The follow-up release to Anime Nitro comes out this December. K-On! and Evangelion fans should be happy with the early list, as it includes two themes from each of those series. The rest of the list seems to be a good mix of older and more recent tracks.
No word on what artists will be involved, but I’d expect many of the contributors to the first Anime Nitro to show up again.
Anime House Project ~Oshare Selection~ Vol. 1
Release Date: 10/28/09
Price: 2000 yen
This is the fifth announced CD in the Anime House series (though it’ll actually be the third one released). This particular release will be produced by Somatrope. “Oshare” means “stylish” or “fashionable.” I haven’t a clue what that has to do with the anime themes announced so far. Interestingly, there are quite a few tracks with English lyrics, including “Genesis of Aquarion.”
Samples available at the official site: http://www.animehouse.jp/osyare/
Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance BL
Release Date: 12/2/09
Price: 1905 yen
44% of voters thought that Speed Anime Trance BL was not a real, upcoming Quake title. After all, Quake have done plenty of oddly themed albums in the past, but BL? Unfortunately or not, Quake have indeed decided to go there. Their latest SATB sub-series will target fujoushi and feature songs from BL anime series. Hmm, does this mean the first ever guy on a Speed Anime Trance Best cover? That should make for an interesting cover….
The answer to the quiz, by the way, is Zenbei No. 1 Telebi Trance. There isn’t an album of TV themes in the works right now.
Anime*Dance Best Chapter 01
Release Date: 10/7/09
Price: 1200 yen
A digital only best-of release compiling the best songs from the Anime*Dance series. 1200 yen for full versions of 19 tracks isn’t a bad deal. The album only seems to be available at iTunes.
Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance Best 8
Release Date: 11/4/09
Price: 1905 yen
Song previews are now up: http://anitra.jp/title/8.php
Track 4 sounds incredibly fast. o_O
Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance Best Ecstasy Third Season
Release Date: 10/21/09
Price: 1905 yen
Even more trance covers of bishoujo game themes. Again, no Ryu*.
I can’t say I recognize any of the songs except for “Kimi o Nosete,” whose inclusion is pretty baffling. When I think of bishoujo games I don’t exactly think of Ghibli.
Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance Best 8
Release Date: 11/4/09
Price: 1905 yen
Quake posted an updated list for SATB 8. In addition to N.O.-SYO’s SATB debut, Ryu* will also be making his return to Exit Trance with an original song. Note that this is still not the final track list; there are at least 3 tracks left to be revealed.
Ghibli*Computer
Artist: Bitman
Release Date: 10/2/09
Price: 1810 yen
Yet another Ghibli-themed release. Instead of pianos or speed trance, this release will remake classic Ghibli themes in a chiptune (i.e. 8-bit/Famicom) style. Chiptune music has been gaining a lot of traction recently, so don’t be surprised if you see many more 8-bit compilations in the near future.

Anime House Project ~Sengoku Bakumatsu Mix~
Release Date: 11/25/09
Price: 1600 yen
“Sengoku” and “Bakumatsu” refer to periods of feudal Japan, so this CD will feature themes from anime shows and games that take place during that time. The release promises to fuse house sounds with traditional Japanese instruments, including my favorite, the shamisen. It’s being released for the low price of 1600 yen, but keep in mind that there’ll only be 8 tracks. First press copies also come with a sticker featuring the cover art.
A shame there are no tracks from Sengoku Musou. 🙁
Anime House Project ~Boy’s Selection~ Vol. 1
Release Date: 9/30/09
Price: 2000 yen
A selection of tracks from anime series targeted at boys.

The final list is the same as the early one, albeit slightly rearranged. The track lengths indicate that the songs will be full versions.
