Dancemania EX × Trance Paradise

Dancemania presents Natsu Monogatari 2009 supported by 9LoveJ (CD+DVD)
Release Date: 6/10/09
Price: 3000 yen

Akiba Koubou! Akyr! Saifam! Ventura! LED!!! The final list for Natsu Monogatari 2009 has a surprising amount of diversity. Sure, it’s still mostly Anime covers and J-Euro, but there’s enough variety to keep me interested. Plus, no psychedelic!

The 90’s eurodance section is looking a little lacking. The original versions of “Banzai” and “Dub-I-Dub” are completely unnecessary, and it’s a shame the Motiv 8 mix of “Wannabe” didn’t make it. That said, the inclusion of Cherri is delightful surprise.

Why, oh why, did “Sousei no Aquarion” get the longest edit on the nonstop mix? The distribution is much better than on previous compilations, though. I’ll never forget how short that edit of “Bambino” was.

Tracks 1-11 on the DVD will have ParaPara routines. I’m assuming the remaining tracks will be used only during the ParaPara competition. If so, that probably means we won’t hear much of “Superlover,” one of the new Akyr tracks.

Pre-order at CDJapan. Amazon Japan also have it for only 2,583 yen.
