Best of Acoustic
Artist: Captain Jack
Release Date: 9/6/10
Well, this is certainly a surprise. Back to the Dancefloor was supposed to be coming out this September, but it looks like they’ll be releasing this acoustic collection in its stead. The album will include acoustic versions of CJ’s most popular songs such as “Captain Jack,” “Drill Instructor,” and Only “You.” There will also be new tracks like “People Like to Party” and “Everything Started with Captain Jack.”
The album will be on sale at musicload and presumably at other online retailers as well. In the meantime, they’ve also released yet another greatest hits album titled, “Meine Besten.”
Ghibli Rock
Release Date: 8/25/10
Price: 2095 yen
R&B House -Best Hit 30-
Release Date: 8/7/10
Price: 1886 yen
Mixed by DJ U5, half of the duo Prog5. DJ Tora does “Tik Tok” O_O
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.
Toho Euro Flash Vol. 1
Release Date: 8/14/10
Price: ??? yen
Toho Euro Flash is yet another doujin-produced eurobeat album that will make its debut this week at C78. As with Toho Eurobeat, TEF will collect eurobeat remakes of Touhou songs. The album will be arranged and mixed by the one and only DJ Command of Akiba Koubou. Visit the official website for more info: http://nijika.net/rec04/
Geki Atsu! J-Euro EX ~16 Ren Chan Version~
Release Date: 10/13/10
Price: 2284 yen
The EX(citing) sequel to Geki Atsu J-Euro. Believe it or not, according to Oricon’s sales charts the first edition actually sold fairly well, outselling even Avex’s Super J-Euro Best Mix. Mai Nishida will be the image girl on the cover, while the booklet will surely have even more pics of her in a bikini.
The early list is surprisingly light on repeats. And if the first Geki Atsu! was any indication, even the repeats will at least get new rearrangements.
Super J-Euro Best Mix -Hyper-
Release Date: 10/20/10
Price: 2000 yen
Super J-Euro Best Mix returns this fall with another set of covers and original songs. Nagisa’s “Aitakunakute Aitakute” will seemingly be repeated from Wa Euro Best 2, unless the “Hyper” sub-title means that the songs will undergo high-speed remixes. “Miku Miku ni Shite Ageru [Shiteyanyo]” is also a repeat, originally appearing on Super Anime Remix Touge 2. Well-known Utatte Mita singers Usa and Hana-tan will appear with new songs, however.
It’s also worth noting that it’s a tad cheaper than the first release.
Exit Trance presents Moe J-Pop
Release Date: 8/18/10
Price: 1905 yen
Do my eyes deceive me? No repeats?! The list of artists is also nicely varied, with no one person getting more than 4 tracks. Two of the more obscure producers, mitchy and S-Mushroom, also make appearances. Although, I wonder if they’re just pseudonyms?
People Like to Party (Single)
Artist: Captain Jack
Release Date: Fall 2010
The first single off Captain Jack’s new album just had a music video released:
Damn, I really, really like it. It’s got a great summery feel and sounds like it could have been on CJ’s Cafe Cubar album. If the rest of the album is anything like this then Beat Disaster may finally be forgiven for that horrid “Captain Jack Is Back” fiasco.
You can buy a high quality version of the music video at Music Load:

The song itself isn’t available for purchase just yet. Hopefully they’ll release a single later on with some remixes.
Toho Eurobeat Vol. 1
Release Date: 6/30/10
Price: 1400 yen
Doujin release featuring eurobeat covers of popular touhou songs. It’ll first be available during C78 at a special price of 1,000 yen. After that, it’ll be available in Japanese shops for 1,400 yen. It’s unlikely that major online retailers will carry it, though.
Most notable are a pair of Akiba Koubou artists, Rayto and DJ Command. Travis Stebbins, better known to SEB fans as Ken Blast, also provides vocals for two songs.
The official website has a cross-fade demo that you can listen to: http://www.a1-label.com/c78_teb01.html
Quake will once again have an Exit Tunes booth at the 78th Comic Market this August, where they’ll be selling exclusive merchandise.
First up is the Exit Tunes 2010 Summer Comike Goods Set. For only 3,000 yen, you’ll get:
Cheaper than last winter’s set by 500 yen. Totally worth it for that awesome alt Famitrance art. When I first saw it I thought Famitrance 2 had been announced. Oh, Quake, you’re such a tease.
More merchandise after the jump.
House Flavor R&B ~Original Best Vol. 2~
Release Date: 6/30/10
Price: 1200 yen
House-flavored R&B from FARM Records. 1200 for 26 full-length tracks is a pretty good deal, and a lot of the covers are quite good. Grab it from iTunes Japan.
Age*Son ~Agaru Anison Compi~
Release Date: 8/11/10
Price: 2381 yen
Another anime-themed compilation from Avex. No “Zankoku,” but “Sousei no Aquarion” rears its overused head once again. Most of the tracks are by Avex artists like AAA, m.o.v.e and TRF. It is notable for a trio of Spacey tracks, including the debut of the Spacey vs. Polaris remix of Tsukasa’s “Shin Ai” as well as a Spacey vs. Polaris remix of “Dreams,” which just appeared on the excellent Aneuta compilation. Surprisingly, it also includes a FARM license in the form of mioco’s “Sorairo Days.”
House Nation – Beach 2010
Release Date: 8/4/10
