Wa Euro Premier Best
Release Date: 7/21/10
Price: 2171 yen
Uggh, you’ve got to be kidding me. 7 songs from Wa Euro Best, 6 from WEB 2, 6 from WEB 3, and 4 “new” songs. The first Wa Euro Best was already full of repeats, and now we have to be subjected to them again? Even worse is the fact that this best-of album is more expensive than normal.
The new songs aren’t really too new, either. “Cat’s Eye” and “Hoshizora no Okurimono” could just be the original versions with different vocals. The only song I’m looking forward to is the new remix “Du-Du Di-Da.” It better not be just a re-edit of the Red Monster mix….
I guess Natsu Monogatari is officially dead, then. 🙁

Anime*Dance Best Gig
Release Date: 5/26/10
Price: 2381 yen
18 new songs and 14 repeats. I don’t get the need for the repeats. All they’re doing is taking time away from the new songs.
It seems that CDJapan won’t be carrying it, but it is in stock at HMV Japan.
Also out is a related release from Nomiko, who sings two tracks on AD Best Gig. Ripple*Ripple Twinkle Show! features the original version of “Ripple+Ripple.”

Trance Rave “20th Anniversary” Special Best

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. I just hope it also includes new songs, as the only announced tracks so far are repeats.

Exit Trance presents UmaUma Dekiru Trance wo Tsukutte Mita 8
Release Date: 6/2/10
Price: 1905 yen (Regular Edition) or 3143 yen (Limited Edition)
I’m really surprised to not see “Scatman.” Looks like a fairly interesting mix of tracks otherwise. I do spot a handful of repeats, but it is nice to see the return of Acid=Stone Valley. Still no B.U.S., though, and I’m a little afraid that the Vocaloid artists are starting to take over.
The limited edition comes with a figure of Miko Hutae, the cover girl from UmaUma Trance 3.

Quake Trance Best 22

Price: 1905 yen
YES! Another excuse to pull out my favorite DJ Uto picture! A little odd that there are only 17 tracks instead of the usual 20.
