Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance Best 5
Release Date: 11/19/08
Price: 1905 yen
Interestingly, Speed Anime Trance Best 5 marks the first time that the musicians are credited along with the vocalists. Ryu*, N.O.-SYO, and B.U.S. are just a few of the familiar names that are contributing to this fifth release in the SATB series.
Exit Trance presents Aerodynamic Best
Release Date: 11/5/08
Price: 1905 yen
Fifth release in the Aerodynamic series mixed by DJ Murauchi. I think there are one or two new tracks, but for the most part it’s repeats from the previous releases, as expected.
Exit Trance presents Akachan Trance with Rokubou
Release Date: 11/5/08
Price: 2000 yen
Yeah, this is weird. Once again, “akachan” translates to “baby,” so this is basically Exit Trance presents Baby Trance. All of the songs are typical children’s songs in Japan.
Rokubou, by the way, is the weird deer baby on the cover. I’m not entirely sure what its significance is, though if I had to guess it’s probably a popular character on a children’s TV show.
Final list after the jump.
Hime Trance presents Tsukasa Mix
Release Date: 11/12/08
Price: 1886 yen
Yet another wasted opportunity. There are 5 songs that are new to the Hime Trance series (7 if you count the bonus tracks), but I’m tired of hearing “In My Heart” and “Prologue” at this point. And as awesome as Delaction usually are, their remix of “Mermaid” is sorely lacking. This had better be the last time we see any of those again.
Tentative track list and more analysis after the jump.

Dance X’mas
Release Date: 11/19/08
Price: 2427 yen
Instead of another Super Euro X’mas or X’mas Trance, Avex have decided to combine the two into a compilation known as Dance X’mas. It’s mostly repeats, though there will be a few newer tracks present. One is “Wait for You,” which I believe is a eurobeat cover of the Elliot Yamin song. What it has to do with Christmas, I have no idea. Tsukasa’s new single, “Merry Christmas,” will also appear as a bonus track.
Early track list after the jump.
S&K have finally released an album of sorts, with 3 brand new tracks as well as 8 tracks from their Dancemania years. The album is currently available digitally at Musicload: http://www.musicload.de/album/3994129_2/sk/revolution-x/item.html
“Don’t Stop” is pretty darn catchy.
Anyway, last I checked the album still isn’t available on iTunes or Amazon MP3, and I don’t yet know if people outside of Germany can purchase from Musicload. I’ll post an update if/when the tracks become available in the US.
Again, you can listen to samples of their old and new songs here: http://sandkmusic.com/pages/music.php
Mega Trance Speed
Release Date: 12/3/08
Price: 2095 yen
An early track list has already been released, and it’s a whopper. Early list and analysis after the jump.
Mega Trance Speed
Release Date: 12/3/08
Price: 2095 yen
The Speed revolution continues with FARM’s Mega Trance series being the latest to join the bandwagon. The only confirmed songs so far are Tsukasa’s “Prologue” (try to guess which remix) and “Ima Kono Toki Dake” from the Shin Yoshimune Soundtrack.
Since this is FARM, also expect repeats from the various Anime*Dance CDs that they’ve released in recent months.
Of course, they wouldn’t name it Mega Trance Speed unless it had some connection to the Mega Trance series. Hopefully we’ll see some Speed remixes of popular Mega Trance songs.
Exit Trance presents Gakkou Trance 3 Jigenme
Release Date: 12/3/08
Price: 1905 yen
Also known as Exit Trance presents School Trance 3rd Period. I don’t recognize any of the songs except for “Scarborough Fair.” I never thought I’d see that remade as trance, but then again I never thought I’d see Lullaby Trance.
01. Phoenix
02. Katari Aou
03. Haru ni
04. Yogisha
05. Sonomama no Kimi de
06. Jaane
07. Maou
08. Scarborough Fair

Exit Trance Best #08
Release Date: 11/5/08
Price: 1905 yen
I’m happy to report that ETB 8 is slightly less of a train wreck than I expected it to be. Sure, it’s ~90 percent repeats, but there are a few interesting things about it. More info after the jump.
Anime Speed
Release Date: 12/10/08
Price: 1905 yen
Anime mania continues. EMI are once again bringing the Speed series to the forefront, following Hime Trance Speed with the release of Anime Speed. The only problem? It’s out already. Yup, right now this looks like a simple re-release of a 3-year-old album, except without the copy protection that the original CD had.
Now, it’s certainly possible that some things may change. I do think there’s an off chance that there’ll be a new cover featuring a random anime girl. That way it’ll match the dozens of other anime dance releases out there.
Here’s the original track list again:
01. [3:00] Cha-la Head-cha-la / Lee Tairon
02. [3:17] Anata Dake Mitsumeteru / Yoko Kobayashi
03. [2:59] Hajimete no Chu / Luna
04. [2:58] Anpanman no March / Nuts
05. [2:17] Lum no Love Song / maruyamakumi
06. [2:36] Zankoku na Tenshi no These / Nuts
07. [2:46] Odoru Pompokolin / P*Smile
08. [3:12] Cutey Honey / HiNa
09. [3:18] Cat’s Eye / Yoko Kobayashi
10. [2:40] Hohoemi no Bakudan / HiNa
11. [2:30] Sazae-san / P*Smile
12. [2:51] Ai wo Torimodose!! / Lee Tairon
13. [2:28] Mononoke Hime / Forrest
14. [2:25] Doraemon no Uta / Luna
15. [1:31] Mahou Tsukai Sally / Yoko Kobayashi
16. [3:35] Moonlight Densetsu / P+Nuts
