Drive ga 100-bai Tanoshiku Naru 90s Best Deluxe (Driving 90s Best Deluxe)
Release Date: 7/16/14
Price: 1000 yen

Updated version of Driving 90s Best, now with more Universal. Available on iTunes Japan.

Previously this had artists like Me & My, Smile.dk, and Cut ‘n’ Move, but their absence here further confirms that EMI Japan no longer have the rights to them. At this rate I wonder if they’ll even bother releasing a 20th anniversary Dancemania album. 🙁

Vibes Zenkai Natsu Mix
Release Date: 7/16/14
Price: 1850 yen

Summer compilation from Universal Japan. Mostly the same top 40 hits they’ve been peddling from the last few years, though they somehow managed to have “Samba de Janeiro” on twice. Also, nothing says summer anthem like the theme song from Frozen.

It looks like they have plans for the future of the series, as they’ve already set up an official website.

Extravagant Party ~Chogouka Artist Nonstop Party~
Release Date: 9/10/14
Price: 2000 yen

A new non-stop mix from Warner Music that features songs from all genres. That means artists like Daft Punk, Coldplay, and David Guetta share the stage with Dionne Warwick, Frankie Valli, and Fleetwood Mac. I’m curious to find out if they’ll be using remixes for the older tracks, because otherwise this’ll be one hell of a mess.
