I’m a bit surprised to see a new release in this series. They used to have 2 releases a year, but it looks like this will be the only release in the series this year. Participating utaite include Glutamine, Sekihan, Shamuon, and Soraru. Pretty heavy with the male utaite, actually.
16th release in the Speed Anime Trance Best series. In past years there were 3 main releases per year, usually around April, August and November. Either SATB 17 will come out in December or there’ll only be two releases in the series this year. :/

Glitter/Kamiuta
Artist: Mayumi Morinaga
Release Date: 6/6/12
Price: 2381 yen (CD+DVD Edition) or 1905 yen (CD Only Edition)
Five years after the release of her debut song, “One Million Miles,” Mayumi Morinaga finally comes out with her first album! Oddly, the tracklist differs slightly depending on whether you get the CD+DVD version or the CD only version. The CD+DVD version features “Fairy Tale” anime cover art and has “Glitter (Starving Trance Remix)” as the lead track and “Kamiuta” as track 10. The CD only version has those two tracks switched and has cover art that focuses on the new 164 song, “Kamiuta.”
The rest of the track list contains new songs as well as her Bemania repertoire and Exit Trance back catalog. It also includes some rare songs that were once exclusive to Comiket singles. Worth nothing is that “No Challenge, No Success (MK Remix)” FINALLY sees the light of day. MK has had it listed on his website since 2010, so it’s nice to finally hear it.
The CD+DVD version will also include a DVD featuring the “Glitter” music video as well as the “Fairy Tail” ending video w/o credits. Each version of the album comes with a fake credit card, B2 poster, clear file and strap featuring that version’s cover art. There are also retailer-exclusive bonuses for each version, ranging from key holders to tote bags. If all that weren’t enough, there’s also a special Ryu* CD that will be offered exclusively at the launch event.
Quake have set up separate Glitter and Kamiuta websites.
Tenth in Quake’s monster hit series of Vocaloid albums, following Vocarhythm, Vocalostar, Vocalolegend, Vocalogenesis, Vocaloanthems, Vocalonexus, Vocalonation, Vocalocluster and Vocalodream.
