Speed Anime M@ster ~Super Euro Best~
Release Date: 3/23/11
Price: 1900 yen
Victor are reviving the Speed Anime M@ster series, even though it’s been almost two years since the first release. This time Akiba Koubou will be producing the entire album, which can only mean one thing: REPEATS! Yes, there are a handful of resings, but for the most part it’s the same old songs AKBK. Was anyone really clamoring for Haruka’s version of “Sousei no Aquarion” yet again?
Ora Ora Psyche Best
Release Date: 3/9/11
Price: 1900 yen
Psychedelic compilation from Victor Japan. Originally scheduled for release in February, but it’s been delayed to March. No track list yet, though you can probably expect repeats from the Psychedelic Rave series.

Disco no Tatsujin
Release Date: 11/24/10
Price: 2000 yen
Disco hits from 1970-2000. If I’m not mistaken, the songs are actually arranged in chronological order.
Disco no Tatsujin
Release Date: 11/24/10
Price: 2000 yen
The title translates to “Disco Master.” Basically, it’s another excuse for Victor to repackage their usual 70s and 80s repeats.
Buchiage Parance #11 (Haishin Gentei J*Dance Mix)
Release Date: 10/13/10
Price: 1200 yen
Digital release of Buchiage Parance #11. Almost exactly the same as the CD release, right down to track lengths, except five of the tracks have been removed. Still, it’s only 1,200 yen, so if you don’t care about the DVD it’s not a bad option.
Buchiage Parance #11 (CD+DVD)
Release Date: 9/29/10
Price: 2848 yen
Wa Euro Best make up a good portion of this 11th release in the Buchiage series. There are also numerous repeats from other Victor compulations. Oh well, at least there’s a new Kei song.
Ghibli House Essential Piano Set
Release Date: 9/29/10

Dance covers and original songs performed by popular Gal Mama models. The DVD includes ParaPara routines and footage from club events.
Fire Spirit
Artist: Kouhei
Release Date: 9/22/10
Price: 1905 yen
At what point does an utatte mita singer become a professional? If it’s when they release a CD with a major label, then Kouhei has officially hit the big leagues. Kouhei is perhaps best known for, well, his screaming. Witness his screaming in “Megu Megu*Fire Endless Night,” a fast-paced Eurobeat song originally made by samfree:

His first album will be full of anime and vocaloid covers. It should be fun to hear a lot of these songs with male vocals for a change.

Buchiage Parance #11 (CD+DVD)
Release Date: 9/22/10
Price: 2848 yen
Right, let’s try this again. Victor Japan initially announced Buchiage Parance for release on March 24 but canceled the album soon after. Well, it looks like they’re giving it a second try this September. Again, it’ll be a CD+DVD release, with the CD featuring a non-stop mix of trance, euro, and psychedelic songs. All of the announced tracks so far are repeats from Trance Rave Best 19 or the Koakuma magic series.
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?

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.
