Toho Eurobeat Vol. 3 ~ The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil
Release Date: 3/13/11
Price: 1400 yen

Doujin release featuring eurobeat covers of popular touhou songs.

DJ Command from Akiba Koubou returns, as does Travis Stebbins, better known to SEB fans as Ken Blast.

For fans outside of Japan, White Canvas is willing to ship overseas, and they’ll be carrying TEB 3: http://www.w-canvas.com/shopping/detail.php?item_id=44553 For more information on their service, go to their info page: http://www.w-canvas.com/html/information.html#info. In addition to the price of the CD and overseas shipping, there’s also a 1,000 yen commission per order, so it might be a good idea to pick up TEB 1-3 at the same time. Note that I haven’t used White Canvas, but I’ve read online that speak decent English, so it might be your best shot at acquiring these CDs.

CDJapan also have a new shopping service so you might be able to ask them to buy it for you.
