Geki Atsu! Anime Euro Gakuen Hen
Release Date: 2/8/12
Price: 2000 yen

Oh dear. I was hoping for more Geki Atsu! releases, but not like this. Not like this. Hot off the heels of two J-Drama-inspired releases early next year will come two new Anime releases, and you know what that means: repeats. This edition will focus on gakuen, or school, anime themes. So, basically, it’ll be Anime Euro Best ~School Edition~ all over again, but 300 yen cheaper. The only new song revealed so far is the OP theme to “To Aru Majutsu no Index II”.

Geki Atsu! Drama Euro Love Love Hen
Release Date: 1/25/12
Price: 2000 yen

It’s been a while since a Geki Atsu! release (May 2011 to be exact), so I thought Tokuma had abandoned the series. Well, the new year will bring not one, but TWO new releases in the Akiba Koubou-produced series. Whereas previous albums focused on anime and pachislot themes, these two new albums will instead include themes from J-Drama.

Best Idol Non Stop Mixed by DJ Mocchi
Release Date: 11/16/11
Price: 1800 yen

Previously known as Idol Euro. I’m not sure why they changed the name; the old one was far more descriptive. Anyway, cover art and a seemingly final track list have been released. Half of the album is composed of repeats or resings, and many of the tracks from the early list didn’t make it. Worst of all, there’s no Shihori. 🙁

Utatte Mita Collection -The Best-
Release Date: 11/23/11
Price: N/A

Tsutaya-exclusive collection of songs from the various Utatte Mita Collection singles. Not only is it exclusive to Tsutaya, but it’s also for rental only. Seems like a strange business move. It’s almost as if they’re begging you to rent and rip the disc.

Bakuen ~Call Anthem~
Artist: Sunplaza Nakano Kun feat. DJ Yossy
Release Date: 12/21/11
Price: 1905 yen

More songs revealed. Pretty much every song they’ve done since “Bye Bye Para Girl” will be included, so that’s 10 automatic repeats. To make matters worse, “Zankoku na Tenshi no These” and “Sousei no Aquarion” are also listed, so there’s a good chance those will be simple resings of the existing valle blanco versions because, you know, we haven’t heard them enough. There’s at least one new song planned, as well as a collaboration with Team KY (Kouhey and Yamadan).

Bakuen ~Call Anthem~

Release Date: 12/21/11
Price: 1905 yen

A whole album full of Sunplaza Nakano Kun feat. DJ Yossy songs. Only two tracks mentioned so far, but I’d expect every song from the duo to appear.

Worst of all, there’s no Shihori. 🙁 There are a number of new vocalists, though Tomomin gets the most tracks with a total of 4.
