Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance Best 19
Release Date: 9/4/13
Price: 1905 yen

The 19th entry in the SATB series will be released in early September, so we’ll definitely be getting 3 releases this year instead of the 2 in 2012. No word on a track list yet. Interestingly, if you look at the catalogue number, QWCE-342, you might notice that it’s a pretty big jump over the next-highest allocated cataloque number, QWCE-309 (for 164’s upcoming album). That means they have at least 30+ other releases already planned. o_O Of course, they’ll probably all be Vocaloid albums anyway.

Pre-order at CDJapan.

Plan 8
Artist: Ryu*
Release Date: 7/3/13
Price: 1905 yen

Album art and early list have been revealed for Ryu*’s upcoming 5th album. According to descriptions sent out to retailers, the album is scheduled to have 15 tracks in all instead of the usual 20. That’s rather disappointing, albeit understandable since this album will come just 7 months since his previous album. I wonder if they’ll try to squeeze in 2 Ryu* albums this year, though? Otherwise I don’t get why they didn’t just wait until December so they could have the usual 20 tracks.

Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance Best 18
Release Date: 5/1/13
Price: 1905 yen

SATB 18 just came out, and the CD version is notable for taking up all 80 minutes on the CD. If they weren’t going to have 20 tracks, at least they used up every single second they possibly could. First-press copies come with a cell phone strap. Also, I didn’t notice before, but it looks like they stopped doing the Karaoke CD present after SATB 16. Instead, sending in the included survey will get you some sort of autographed item.

Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance Best 18
Release Date: 5/1/13
Price: 1905 yen

Final list is out, and it’s 19 tracks total. The tracks have been divvied up a bit more evenly than they were on SATB 17, where 2 artists got 5 tracks each. This time, Hommarju and Disco da Gama lead the pack with 4 tracks each. Booing Day and MK each get 3 tracks, while Flash back Dominant and Icon get 2 each and plazma rounds out the list with a single track. Ryu*’s absence isn’t a surprise, but there’s sadly still no Dizzi Mystica. It makes me wonder if he’s just too busy with his own sample production company, Katana Bits. Or maybe he’s just taking a break like MK did for a while. Or was Disco da Gama his alias? I honestly keep forgetting.

Edit: According to the Chinese Wikipedia page for Exit Trance, Disco da Gama is indeed Dizzi Mystica. Loli Salad did a nice job making the list more presentable, and it’s neat to see the who’s behind the various aliases.
