Aneuta ~Around 30 Girl Pop Non-Stop Cover~
Release Date: 6/30/10
Price: 2381 yen
Hime Trance fans rejoice! I’ll have a mini-review up tomorrow, but suffice it to say that Aneuta gives Hime Trance 4 some serious competition for trance album of the year. With names like N.O.-SYO, Delaction, Tsukasa, and Kei, you can’t go wrong!
Liquid Fictions (Single)
Artist: Cherry Farm
Release Date: 7/14/10
Price: 952 yen
Debut single from the idol unit, Cherry Farm. They’ll be starring in a mockumentary titled Liquid Fiction, to be released on DVD a week later on 7/21. From what I gather it’s supposed to explore the dark world of idol groups, or something like that. The important thing is that Starving Trancer, MK, and Hommarju are reportedly involved in the film’s soundtrack, and the ending theme is by Ryu*. There’s also a special edition of the DVD that includes a CD with remixes. It’s unknown if the bonus CD is the same as this single.
Visit the film’s official website for, umm, some creepy stuff.
Trance Rave “20th Anniversary” Special Best
Release Date: 6/23/10
Price: 2848 yen
The 20th release in the ground-breaking Trance Rave Best series also commemorates the 10-year anniversary of the series. A DVD will be included with footage from various Trance Rave parties.
The track list is pretty much all repeats. It would’ve been nice to see a few new tracks, but I can’t deny that the selection is a good approximation of the best of Trance Rave. Any guesses on what the lead track is?
Exit Trance presents Super Aerodynamic
Release Date: 6/16/10
Price: 1905 yen
The Aerodynamic series gets another relaunch. A lot of these songs are ancient, for lack of a better term, but I guess that’s par for the course for the Aerodynamic series.
Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance Best 10
Release Date: 8/4/10
Price: 1905 yen (Regular Edition) or 3143 yen (Limited Edition)
The 10th anniversary release of the SATB series. The limited edition comes with a figure of the cover model from SATB 2, Yuzuha. Not much info on the track list yet. There’s supposed to be a song from the second season of K-On!, which I assume will be the OP theme.
Exit Trance presents UmaUma Dekiru Trance wo Tsukutte Mita Complete Best 2
Release Date: 7/21/10
Price: 1905 yen (Regular Edition) or 3143 yen (Limited Edition)
Another Complete Best release for the UmaUma Trance series. In addition to songs from UmaUma Trance 1-8 voted for by fans, the release will also include new songs. The limited edition comes with a figure of Hakata-san (Shio-tan), a popular internet character. Umm, okay. I don’t get why they didn’t go with an Exit Trance character.
Pre-order the limited edition or the regular edition at CDJapan.
Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance Ecstasy Complete Best
Release Date: 6/16/10
Price: 2667 yen (Regular Edition) or 2857 yen (Limited Edition)
Not as disastrous as I thought it’d be. 5 tracks from Ecstasy, 4 from Ecstasy 2, and 1 track from Ecstasy 3. The good news is that there are 9 new tracks! I have track 17 listed as new, but it’s been inexplicably plucked from Uma Uma Trance 7.
J-Pop Trance Best!
Release Date: 4/7/10
Price: 800 yen
J-Pop trance covers from Columbia Japan. I’m not really sure who produced the album, but the samples sound decent.

Trance Rave “20th Anniversary” Special Best
Release Date: 6/23/10
Price: 2848 yen
The 20th release in the ground-breaking Trance Rave Best series also commemorates the 10-year anniversary of the series. A DVD will be included with footage from various Trance Rave parties. I just hope it also includes new songs, as the only announced tracks so far are repeats.
Exit Trance presents UmaUma Dekiru Trance wo Tsukutte Mita 8
Release Date: 6/2/10
Price: 1905 yen (Regular Edition) or 3143 yen (Limited Edition)
I’m really surprised to not see “Scatman.” Looks like a fairly interesting mix of tracks otherwise. I do spot a handful of repeats, but it is nice to see the return of Acid=Stone Valley. Still no B.U.S., though, and I’m a little afraid that the Vocaloid artists are starting to take over.
The limited edition comes with a figure of Miko Hutae, the cover girl from UmaUma Trance 3.
Quake Trance Best 22
Release Date: 6/2/10
Price: 1905 yen
YES! Another excuse to pull out my favorite DJ Uto picture! A little odd that there are only 17 tracks instead of the usual 20.
