Super Vocalo Beat
Release Date: 3/9/11
Price: 2405 yen
A few months ago Avex announced a compilation titled “Vocaloid Eurobeat,” which was to feature eurobeat covers of Vocaloid songs and was to be produced by Akiba Koubou. However, Avex quietly canceled the CD, which supposed to be released on January 19. Well, it seems that the project has been reincarnated as “Super Vocalo Beat.” Presumably it will still be produced by Akiba Koubou producers, with Utatte Mita singers providing the vocals.

Kiwami Euro Best
Release Date: 3/2/11
Price: 1900 yen
Whyyyyy? Oh, Avex, you never cease to amaze me. Instead of doing another release in the Super J-Euro Best Mix series, Avex have instead decided to blatantly rip off the Wa Euro Best series. Kiwami (Extreme) Euro Best will be produced by DJ Yossy, and will include many tracks already featured on other Akiba Koubou compilations. Yes, that means “Zankoku” and “Sousei.” AGAIN. Not to mention “Soko ni Aru Kamoshirenai…” There do appear to be some new tracks, but for the most part this serves as yet another reminder why Japanese eurobeat sales have been going downhill: TOO MANY REPEATS!

The final track list is expected to include 18 tracks.
