World Anthem -Global Megamix- mixed by DJ Fumi*Yeah!
Release Date: 2/5/14
Price: 1900 yen
The latest in Victor’s “Anthem” series. Not only is DJ Fumi*Yeah! responsible for the non-stop mix, but he also contributes new remixes. I’m strangely interested in his new version of “Let Me Clear My Throat.”

Digital EDM compilation from Victor Japan featuring select full versions from the CD release, The EDM ~Erotic Dance Mix~.
World Anthem -Global Megamix- mixed by DJ Fumi*Yeah!

Price: 1900 yen
The latest in Victor’s “Anthem” series. Unlike the second entry, which had DJ Yu-Ki doing the mixing honors, this third release has DJ Fumi*Yeah! returning.
The EDM ~Erotic Dance Mix~ mixed by DJ Rie
Release Date: 12/25/13
Price: 1900 yen
Another EDM compilation, this time from Victor Japan. I did a double-take when I first saw the title, thinking it was somehow related to E-Rotic, but no such luck. I’m not really sure why it’s an “erotic” dance mix, but it may have something to do with the fact that it’s being mixed by a female DJ, DJ Rie.

ADM -Anime Dance Music produced by tkrism-
Artist: Emergency
Release Date: 9/25/13
Price: 2286 yen
The EDM boom is still in full effect, it seems, as evidenced by this combination of EDM and anime songs. The music is produced by tkrism, with vocals by Emergency. You can find more news on the group on their official website.
There’ll be retailer-exclusive bonuses available, ranging from bonus drama CDs to alternative CD covers.
Also worth noting is the digital release, available on iTunes Japan. The CD version has full versions, as does the iTunes release, but what’s interesting is that the iTunes release also has an exclusive 50 minute non-stop DJ mix! So, you get full versions plus the non-stop for only 1800 yen, which is about 400 yen cheaper than the CD. Now that is how you do a digital release.

Release Date: 8/7/13

World Anthem -International Megamix- mixed by DJ Fumi*Yeah!
Release Date: 3/6/13
Price: 1900 yen
New compilation from Victor Japan. Features R&B and electro house songs from around the world. I was expecting mostly covers, but a lot of the original artists were used. Mixed by DJ Fumi*Yeah!

New compilation from Victor Japan. Features R&B and electro house songs from around the world. Most of the announced songs so far are by the original artists, but I bet there’ll be a few covers on the final list, which should consist of about 30 tracks. It seems like it’s been a while since DJ Fumi*Yeah! has mixed an album for a major label.
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.
