Anim80s – Anime Hits in 80s Disco Style (Animeighties)
Release Date: 12/22/10
Price: 1886 yen

Anim…eighties? Rather than continuing the Wa Euro Best or Premier Euro series, EMI and DJ Yossy have instead decided to start a new series featuring 80s disco covers of popular anime themes. No, this isn’t a joke. Think “Cat’s Eye” done in the style of “Beat It” or “Eternal Blaze” redone like “Turn It Into Love.” This is either a very bad idea or a very very good one.

Many thanks to Heather of Disco NRG for translating the track list. Right now 30 tracks have been announced, which would be really surprising since it’s unlikely we’d get any repeats.

EMI’s long-running R&B compilation series returns in 2010 with a dance twist. Whereas previous releases focused only on R&B and Hip-Hop, 7 will also include dance tracks. Appearances will be made by Kylie Minogue, Katy Perry, and Lady Gaga, among others.

Geki Love J-Euro ~J-Pop Covers Best~
Release Date: 11/3/10
Price: 1900 yen

Looking pretty good. There are only 4 repeats, including two Nagisa tracks from Super J-Euro Best Mix. The compilation also features the return of Mari Ohta, whose song, “Realize,” has seemingly been pimped out endlessly by FARM.

Buchiage Parance #11 (Haishin Gentei J*Dance Mix)
Release Date: 10/13/10
Price: 1200 yen

Digital release of Buchiage Parance #11. Almost exactly the same as the CD release, right down to track lengths, except five of the tracks have been removed. Still, it’s only 1,200 yen, so if you don’t care about the DVD it’s not a bad option.

Super J-Euro Best Mix -Hyper-Super J-Euro Best Mix ~Hyper Tune~
Release Date: 10/20/10
Price: 2000 yen

Previously known as Super J-Euro Best Mix -Hyper-, the sequel to the original Super J-Euro Best Mix now has ~Hyper Tune~ as a subtitle. Avex have also unveiled the cover art, which is dramatically different from the original’s.

Judging by the track lengths, these are all full versions. I guess there’ll be no bonus non-stop mix this time, but the last one was so short it really wasn’t worth it anyway.

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.

New tracks from Akiba Koubou mainstays like Kei, Miyabi, Shihori, and Mi->Na. There’ll also be plenty of tracks from established utatte mita singers like Usa and Priko.

Suzumi’s “Go Tight” appears to be the only “repeat” (it originally appeared on Dreamusic’s Super Anime Remix series), although if this is anything like the first Geki Atsu! then it’ll at least be rearranged a little.

6 tracks from DJ Command, 3 from Rayto, and 5 from valle blanco. 2bad fittingly has 2 songs.

Check out the rather mind-boggling PV:

Anime House Project ~Shinkyoku Best Selection~
Release Date: 11/24/10
Price: 1886 yen

After a rather lengthy hiatus, the AHP series is back with a best-of release featuring songs from the 3 releases in the main series. There are supposed to be 20 songs in all, and I’m assuming it’ll be a non-stop mix.

J-Pop Cover Itasha Mix
Release Date: 10/20/10
Price: 1905 yen

A new J-Pop cover CD mixed by DJ Yuuna. These are supposed to be trance covers, but it’s still unknown who’ll be producing. Aside from the tie-up with Itasha G magazine, this has no relation at all to Quake’s Itasha Trance series.

AgehaAgeha
Artist: Ryu*
Release Date: 11/3/10
Price: 1905 yen

Ryu* just did a live stream talking about the new album. The archived video can be found here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/ryu-stream-2010

Special guests include Starving Trancer and Mayumi Morinaga, as well as Dai-chan and Halka (who, along with Ryu*, form HHH). Tracks from the album play in the background, so you can hear samples of “Wedding March” and “Come Back to My Heart.” It appears that “Come Back to My Heart” will be a vocal track sung by Mayumi Morinaga.
