Dancemania EX × Trance Paradise

Bakuen ~Call Anthem~
Artist: Sunplaza Nakano Kun feat. DJ Yossy
Release Date: 12/21/11
Price: 1905 yen

More songs revealed. Pretty much every song they’ve done since “Bye Bye Para Girl” will be included, so that’s 10 automatic repeats. To make matters worse, “Zankoku na Tenshi no These” and “Sousei no Aquarion” are also listed, so there’s a good chance those will be simple resings of the existing valle blanco versions because, you know, we haven’t heard them enough. There’s at least one new song planned, as well as a collaboration with Team KY (Kouhey and Yamadan).

Mogra Mix
Release Date: 12/7/11 ? 12/21/11
Price: 2476 yen

New compilation from EMI, done in collaboration with Club Mogra. Club Mogra frequently plays Vocaloid, game music, and anime songs, so expect a rather eclectic mix. The album will be mixed by DJ Wild Party. If I’m not mistaken, this will be EMI’s first foray into the world of Vocaloid.

Release Date: 12/7/11
Price: 1800 yen

A best-of album already? There have only been two releases in the series so far. 🙁 Oh well, I do see a few new tracks so it won’t be a total loss. As always, mixed by DJ Hiroki.

Party Pop Mix mixed by DJ Hiroki
Release Date: 10/26/11
Price: 1800 yen

New album produced and mixed by DJ Hiroki, who seems to be trying to outpace DJ Fumi*Yeah! in number of R&B House albums produced. This album seems to focus more on 80s and 90s songs than recent chart-toppers. Unfortunately, it’s exclusive to Tsutaya, so it may be difficult to find a copy.

Price: 3619 yen (2 CD+DVD Version) or 3048 yen (2 CD Only Version)

Update (11/7/11): Track lengths have been released, and it appears that the new bonus tracks won’t be DDR-sized edits. Sadly, “Brilliant 2U” gets a ridiculously short edit. 🙁 Speaking of which, Mieya reports that DJ Command will be handling the “Brilliant 2U” remix, while kors k will be doing the “Paranoia” remix.

Bonus Tracks
39. [2:12] Keep On Movin (Y&Co. DJ Boss remix) / N.M.R.

The official Dancemania website has also been updated with info on the 2nd MIX OST. Apparently all of the old tracks have been digitally remastered. As for the DVD, it will include special performances by “charisma” player, Zio.

Exit Tunes presents Lon Best -Hisshi ni Utatte Mita hen-
Artist: Lon
Release Date: 9/7/11 ? 10/5/11 ? 11/2/11
Price: 1905 yen

This was supposed to come out ages ago, but it’s been delayed up until now. At least they’ve added two tracks to the final list to compensate for the delay. Bonuses include a metal charm, strap, B2 poster and mousepad. There are six different designs for the mousepad, so you’ll get one randomly. Send in the included survey to get a special Lon clear file. Additionally, if you order from certain stores you’ll receive exclusive presents. Badges, posters, clear files, and jigsaw puzzles are just some of the exclusive presents. Animate wins, however, for having a bonus DVD featuring the PV for “Karagenki Utatta.”
