J-Pop Cover Densetsu ~Anison Fever Best~
Release Date: 12/12/12
Price: 1714 yen
New spin-off release in FARM’s J-Pop Cover Densetsu series. At first I though it looked suspiciously like an AKBK track list, but then I remembered that a lot of the tracks have also appeared on FARM’s own Anime*Dance series, which hasn’t seen a release since early 2010. Maybe they figure people will think these are new tracks.

Hyper Dance Remix ~Ayane~
Artist: Ayane
Release Date: 12/26/12
Price: 2800 yen
New album from Ayane. This serves as a spiritual successor to the Hyper Moe Trance series, and will feature dance remixes of anime and video game themes. A shame they didn’t just call it Hyper Moe Trance III, but I guess trance just doesn’t have the selling power it used to.

EDM ~Electronic Dance Madness~ 2
Release Date: 12/5/12
Price: 2190 yen
Whoa, the electronic dance music scene in Japan must be huge if EMI are releasing a sequel to EDM just 3 months after the first release. It reminds me of when Dancemania was on a similar schedule 🙁 Anyway, the second release will feature more tracks from EMI artists like David Guetta, deadmau5, and Coldplay, but is also set to include more licensed tracks, including a song from Britney Spears.
