Mogra Mix
Release Date: 12/7/11 ? 12/21/11
Price: 2476 yen
New compilation from EMI, done in collaboration with Club Mogra. Club Mogra frequently plays Vocaloid, game music, and anime songs, so expect a rather eclectic mix. The album will be mixed by DJ Wild Party. If I’m not mistaken, this will be EMI’s first foray into the world of Vocaloid.

Price: 3619 yen (2 CD+DVD Version) or 3048 yen (2 CD Only Version)
Update (11/7/11): Track lengths have been released, and it appears that the new bonus tracks won’t be DDR-sized edits. Sadly, “Brilliant 2U” gets a ridiculously short edit. 🙁 Speaking of which, Mieya reports that DJ Command will be handling the “Brilliant 2U” remix, while kors k will be doing the “Paranoia” remix.
Bonus Tracks
39. [2:12] Keep On Movin (Y&Co. DJ Boss remix) / N.M.R.

43. [4:14] Paranoia (kskst mix) / 180
44. [2:43] Love Is the Power -Re:born-
The official Dancemania website has also been updated with info on the 2nd MIX OST. Apparently all of the old tracks have been digitally remastered. As for the DVD, it will include special performances by “charisma” player, Zio.

Dancemania Sparkle – Best of 90s Dance Pop
Release Date: 8/3/11 ? 8/24/11
Price: 2381 yen
Update (9/23/11): Relatively slow week for CD sales in general, so Sparkle finished at #14 its fourth week out with roughly 4,800 copies sold.
For those that missed EMI’s Twitter contest, they’re doing another round with another 3 winners winning a 5,000 yen gift card. Just tweet about your favorite Dancemania memory and include the hashtag “#?????? http://emij.jp/idance/” Deadline is September 25, but again, it’s only open to Japanese residents.
In other Dancemania news, Japanese radio station 81.3 FM, J-WAVE will be doing a special broadcast commemorating the 15th anniversary of Dancemania. The broadcast will be on Thursday, September 27 at 22:00 local Japan time. You may or may not be able to view the broadcast live or archived on J-WAVE’s Ustream. It looks like they’ll also spend some time on DDR, so make sure to tune in.

Track list has been updated. Same tracks as before, but rearranged positions. Kinda funny how most of the non-Dancemania tracks ended up grouped together.

Club Camelot -International Camelot Mix-
Release Date: 7/27/11
Price: 2171 yen
New club compilation from EMI featuring big-name acts like Katy Perry, David Guetta, Coldplay, and Kylie Minogue. It’s kind of a strange mix populated by a lot of older tracks.

Dancemania Sparkle – Best of 90s Dance Pop
Release Date: 8/3/11 ? 8/24/11
Price: 2381 yen
Delayed to August 24th from its original August 3rd release date. In the meantime, EMI have released the cover art and what appears to be the final track list. The cover isn’t quite as nice as Treasure’s; I particularly don’t care for the font used for “Sparkle.”
The tracklist is mostly predictable, with Me & My, Smile.dk, Captain Jack and E-Rotic all making an appearance. There’s also representation from Almighty and AATW, two of the most prolific Dancemania labels. A handful of tracks licensed from other companies round out the list, with Los del Rio, Mr. President, and T-Spoon making their Dancemania debuts. Notable exclusions include Bus Stop and DJ Miko. In fact, it’s disappointing that there’s nothing from Saifam at all. :/
