Ama no Jaku (Single)
Artist: Mayumi Morinaga
Release Date: 2/1/12
Price: 1238 yen

3rd maxi single from songstress Mayumi Morinaga. Technically it’s the fourth if, unlike Quake, you count “Drift of the Wind”. I’m assuming this will be a cover of the 164 song. I wonder why it’s 300 yen more expensive than her previous singles, though.

First major album from otetsu. Pre-order for a cellphone strap, poster, and clear file. Hmm, kinda skimpy on the bonus items. Maybe they’ll announce more in the future.

Rainbow?Rainbow
Artist: Ryu?
Release Date: 10/5/11 ? 11/2/11 ? 12/7/11
Price: 1905 yen

Final list is out, and there are really only 3 new tracks. I suppose it’ll be nice to get extended versions of the beatmania songs, but I still expected more new material given that Ryu* hasn’t been on any of the Speed Anime Trance Best release this year.

Bonus items include a cell phone strap, yupo suction tack, mouse pad, B2-size poster, fake credit card, and clear file. The clear file is available if you send in the included questionnaire card, or if you order the cyber beatnation 2 + Rainbow?Rainbow 2 CD Set from Konami Style.

Also available from Konami Style is a cyber beatnation 2 + Rainbow?Rainbow + Live Ticket Set. That one’s probably only of interest to those in Japan since the Live Ticket gets you access to the Exit Tunes Academy release party on January 29, 2012. In addition to Another Infinity and Mayumi Morinaga, many other beatnation artists will be performing at the event.

Sadly, it appears that Konami are forgoing a Ryu* goods set for this release. 🙁

cyber beatnation 2 -Hi Speed conclusion-
Release Date: 12/7/11
Price: 2381 yen

Sequel to the 2005 album featuring new remixes of Beatmania songs. This one essentially serves as yet another Ryu* album, however, considering that every track is either originally by Ryu* or remixed by him. Guest remixers include kors k, Hommarju, DJ Shimamura, REDALiCE, and JAKAZiD.

The album is available exclusively at Konami Style, so you’ll have to order it through a middleman if you’re outside of Japan. CDJapan has a special request service, but the commission fee starts at 1,500 yen. Another potentially cheaper option is Otokichi, who charges a nonrefundable request fee of 500 yen plus an additional commission fee of 500 yen for up to a 5000 yen order. Finally, VGM World is also known to take special orders, though I don’t know how much they’ll charge for this.

Daisy×Daisy
Artist: Daisy×Daisy
Release Date: 11/16/11
Price: 3048 yen

First album from Daisy×Daisy, the solo project from rock vocalist, MiKA. Visit her official website for more background information (in English!).

Another Infinity make two appearances here, one of them featuring Mayumi Morinaga. Rap Bit, Sexy Synthesizer, and 40mP are just some of the other producers who contributed. The bonus track is a Ring Suzune version of “Yakimochi Tokidoki Hare,” which is odd since MiKA provided the vocal samples for Ring .o_O

Sekihan Obaachan no Nihon Mukashi Banashi
Artist: Sekihan
Release Date: 9/7/11 ? 11/2/11
Price: 952 yen

Wow, so this thing is actually real. Sekihan reading Japanese folk tales in an old lady’s voice. There are two main stories told: Momataro and Kachi-kachi Yama. I’m not entirely sure what the tracks in between are. Bonuses include a strap and a poster.
