Acomiku with Vocalists
Artist: The 39s
Release Date: 3/7/12
Price: 2381 yen
Now this is more like it. This was originally supposed to come out along with the “with Vocaloids” version last November, but for some reason was delayed to March. It’s essentially the same arrangements, except done with real vocalists in the form of utaite. Wotamin, Kei and Lon are just a few of the singers involved.

Koi Euro Best
Release Date: 3/21/12
Price: 1900 yen
Producers have been revealed, and it’s mostly valle blanco, with some Beat Charger, Ovrar, Tks (Rayto), and DJ Command thrown in. Akiba Koubou have also put up a digest of songs on YouTube.
This honestly isn’t as bad as I thought it would be, especially compared to the lackluster Kiwami Euro Best. 7 repeats (or 12 if you include resings) isn’t too bad, and the fact that they stayed away from the usual Anime covers was a good choice. I really wish they had went with new Nagisa tracks instead of using songs from 3 years ago, though. Now that I think about it, lately Nagisa has been shut out of the latest Akiba Koubou releases. Hopefully she’s just busy working on a second album.

Artist: Aomofu
Release Date: 3/17/12

Release Date: 3/7/12 ? 3/21/12
Price: 1905 yen

Akiba Koubou presents Utatte Mita Collection Ask
Artist: Ask
Release Date: 3/17/12
Price: 952 yen
Fifth wave of Utatte Mita singles from Akiba Koubou. This one features Ask and has three new songs.
Utattemita Anison
Release Date: 3/7/12 ? 3/21/12
Price: 1905 yen
Uggh, based on the producers of each track it doesn’t look like there’ll be any new arrangements, much less any new songs. The first 8 tracks appear to be taken straight from Anim80s, while the remaining tracks are from previous AKBK eurobeat albums. Very disappointing. It’s also odd that they’re not branding either Utattemita release as part of the Dancemania series. The only bright side is that some of the Anim80s repeats will get longer edits.
The album will be available on Amazon Japan’s download service as well as others, but the digital version is a non-stop mix like the CD.
For those wondering, “Nazo no Jinbutsu K” is better known to Hime Trance fans as Kei. It’s just the pseudonym she uses for singing on Nico Nico.
Akiba Koubou presents Utatte Mita Collection Imaokasan, Bouto, Keitan
Artist: Imaokasan, Bouto, Keitan
Release Date: 3/4/12
Price: 952 yen
It’s Akiba Koubou week here at Dancemania EX! There have been a lot of new Akiba Koubou releases lately, so it’s time to catch up on them. This special single from Akiba Koubou features songs from the odotte mita trio, Imaokasan, Bouto and Keitan. Whereas utatte mita refers to amateur singing, odotte mita refers to amateur dancing. So apparently Imaokasan, Bouto, Keitan can sing too. o_O
The single is currently available exclusively at Akiba Koubou Festa tour stops.

Akiba Koubou Festa presents Utatte Mita Best Selection
Release Date: 3/7/12
Price: 1905 yen
Official CD of the upcoming Akiba Koubou Festa Spring Tour 2012. Features an all-star lineup of utaite singing anime, J-Pop, and vocaloid classics. Many of the songs have already been done by AKBK, but will have newly recorded vocals. Every song has multiple vocalists, and “Team Minna” can only mean that ALL of the utaite will be singing on a song.
