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.
V.I.P. Hot R&B/Hip-Hop/Dance Trax IX
Release Date: 12/19/12
Price: 2171 yen
Ninth release in the V.I.P. series, featuring top 40 hits from artists like Kylie, Katy, Karl Wolf, and Koldpla…err, Coldplay. In the past the V.I.P. series most focused on R&B/Hip-Hop, but lately it’s been focusing more on dance songs due to the surge in popularity of EDM artists like David Guetta.
Vocalo Cho Mix 39 feat. Hatsune Miku
Release Date: 9/26/12
Price: 1714 yen
This second Vocaloid compilation from EMI features a non-stop mix of 39 songs. It’s priced much lower than Vocalo Dance, so there are fewer bonus features. You’ll just get a picture label CD and cardboard sleeve this time around. Animate are offering a fan featuring the cover art if you order from them, while Tsutaya will give away a special clear file.
As with Vocalo Dance, this is being marketed as part of the Dancemania series. Both Vocalo releases are now part of the official discography as part of the “Vocalo Series,” just above the Utattemita releases.

Release Date: 9/26/12
Price: 2190 yen
Previously known as Electric Dance Madness, this EDM (Electronic Dance Music) compilation will have songs from popular house/electro artists including David Guetta, Moby, Swedish Hosue Mafia, and deadmau5. I thought it would be part of the VIP series, but EMI have set up a completely separate page for it: http://www.emimusic.jp/intl/edm/
