Re:Construction Anima Best Mix
Artist: The Illuminati
Release Date: 4/4/12
Price: 1905 yen
Here’s a series I never thought we’d hear from again. The first two releases of this Evangelion tribute series came out in 2009 and 2010. A bit odd that they’d decide to do a best mix so long after the last one. Anyway “The Illuminati” and “Threemason” are aliases for Mega Trance’s DJ U*Hey?
The album is available for download on iTunes Japan.
Party Hits R&B ~Girls Style~ mixed by DJ Rina
Release Date: 4/4/12
Price: 1800 yen
A spin-off of the Party Hits ~R&B House~ series, this time focusing on female vocalists and mixed by a female DJ, DJ Rina.
Music Over You (Single)
Artist: United Forces & Hanna Stockzell
Price: $3.99
New single from United Forces with Hanna Stockzell on vocals. It’s more of an electro-house number, in contrast to Hanna’s previous bubblegum dance outings. I’m not a huge electro fan, but the last track sounds like some damn fine piano house.
You can preview the entire radio edit at the Viverus Studios website.
The Best of K-Pop Densetsu ~Master Covers~ 2
Artist: Hime*Matsuri
Release Date: 2/8/12
Price: 1905 yen
A non-stop mix including songs from the first release as well as new tracks. Full versions are available on Amazon MP3 and iTunes Japan.
Best 2011 Party Hit
Release Date: 11/16/11
Price: 1714 yen
House and Electro covers of the 2011’s biggest hits. This came out last November so I really should have posted about it earlier, but the track list was already so dated I figured a few extra months couldn’t hurt.

P!! Anison Coverpoid Non Stop Mix
Artist: Namidabashi Gakuen Joshi Cover Bu
Release Date: 2/29/12
Price: 1905 yen
The first two releases in the series featured dance covers of Idol and J-Pop songs. This third release focuses on anime themes. It’s mostly the usual anime standards like “Sousei no Aquarion,” “Tamashii no Refrain,” and “Shangri-La.”
Disko Warp presents Anime Love Hardcore 2
Artist: Initial P
Release Date: 4/10/12
Price: ???
The upcoming sequel to 2010’s Anime Love Hardcore features 10 more anime themes redone in happy hardcore style. The track list looks to be a mix of anime standards as well as lesser-known songs. “Discotheque” has always been a favorite of mine, and I love the Engrish goodness of “Red Fraction,” but the Ouendan fan in me is most looking forward to “Ready Steady Go!”
It’s still unknown how the album will be distributed, though it’s been mentioned that it will be available digitally. Pete is also trying to get a Kickstarter campaign started in order to fund a physical CD release. As with the first release, I imagine licensing agreements may prevent it from being available outside of the US regardless of how it’s released, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
In the meantime, the first Anime Love Hardcore is still available on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/disko-warp-presents-anime/id366681411
Update: As mentioned by Pete in the comments, the album will be released digitally on iTunes. Again, due to licensing restrictions it will only be available in the US.
Also make sure to check out the Kickstarter campaign if you want to help fund a physical CD release. The $30 level is a pretty good deal, with CD copies of Anime Love Hardcore 1+2 plus a bunch of Disko Warp-branded goods.
A few samples are up on the official website, and more will be added in the coming weeks. I’m a bit disappointed that Ani-Rock’s English pronunciation is so good; I loved the sheer randomness of mint’s Hime Trance version. 😀

Luv Euro 2
Release Date: 2/22/12
Price: 1886 yen
The album is out today, physically on CD as well as digitally on iTunes Japan, where you can listen to samples. Damn, “Mister” and “Run ‘n’ Gun” sound sooooo good. It’s just a shame there are so many repeats, and even more unfortunate that the iTunes version is a non-stop mix just like the CD.

Price: 1800 yen

A new R&B House compilation from Preget Music. Mixed by DJ Rina, the female DJ who also recently mixed Diamond ~Celebrity Style Best Mix~ for Groovy Inc. Actually, at least a few of the songs will be licensed from Groovy Inc.

A new, lower-priced spin-off of Manhattan Records’ house-flavored R&B cover series powered by Power Music. Expect covers of songs by Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and Alexandra Stan. 35 songs in all. No, I don’t know what those extra x’s are for.
