Anime Euro Best ~School Edition~
Release Date: 5/12/10
Price: 2284 yen
Super Anime Remix lives on! Well, sort of. Dreamusic will be releasing a new compilation this May with eurobeat covers of anime themes. “School Edition” refers to the fact that the songs will be taken from anime set in schools. I’m not sure why Dreamusic decided to abandon the “Super Anime Remix” brand in favor of “Anime Euro Best,” though I suspect it’s to make it clearer that the genre is eurobeat. It doesn’t hurt that the new title is more similar to EMI’s popular “Wa Euro Best” series. And yeah, the songs will once again be produced by Akiba Koubou.

Anime House Project ~Shinkyoku Selection~ Vol. 3
Release Date: 4/28/10
Price: 1905 yen
It’s been a few months since the last AHP release, but the series returns late April with this third release in the main series. Pretty interesting track list so far. Most of the tracks haven’t been too overused, with the possible exceptions of “Moonlight Densetsu” and “Joint.” Of course, those two songs are awesome, so we’ll let them slide.
Note that the listed artists are the original performers. The cover artists are not yet known.

Electro Flavor R&B
Release Date: 4/7/10
Price: 2095 yen
FARM have already done House Flavor R&B and Reggae Flavor R&B, so why not add some delicious Electro flavor? The track list actually looks very intriguing. Hopefully this means a Trance Flavor R&B is next. *crosses fingers*

The Best of Cover Ne-Ho 2
Artist: Ne-Ho
Release Date: 4/7/10
Price: 1886 yen
The first Cover Ne-Ho release sold pretty well for FARM, so it’s not surprise that they’re releasing a sequel. At least Sousei and Zankoku are already out of the way, so he can take on some slightly less overused songs.

Mega Trance 11
Release Date: 4/28/10
Price: 2190 yen
Mega Trance lives!! It’s been almost a year since Mega Trance 10 came out, but FARM are finally bringing back the long-running series. Highlights include a new version of Heavens Wire’s “The End of Summer,” this time featuring DJ Joker. I’m also excited about a pair of R&B trance remixes, including an Overhead Champion remix of “I Gotta Feeling” as well as a Delaction remix of “Fire Burning.” Other artists include DJ Tora, DJ Ozawa, DJ Uto, and Los Hermanos.
The early list is looking very promising. I just hope they don’t ruin it all by adding tons of electro.

Five new Japanese remixes will be included on this maxi single, with Lamaze P, Ryu*, DJ Uto, Starving Trancer, and Hommarju each taking on the eurodance classic. Not a bad price for 6 songs.

Exit Tunes presents Super Producers Beat

Price: 1905 yen
Exit Trance producers take on Vocaloid producers on this new Exit Tunes series. Most of the usual suspects are here, though I do wonder who DJ Yajima is.

Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance Best 9
Release Date: 4/7/10
Price: 1905 yen
MK has a staggering 7 songs on SATB 9. Meanwhile, Ryu*, B.U.S., Icon, and Dizzi Mystica are nowhere to be found. The first two were probably busy working on their own projects, but I wonder why Icon and Dizzi Mystica were left out?
I’m not sure what the enclosed plastic card is about. It’s not a real credit card, but I do like the alternative artwork.
