Yoshiwara Lamento ~Utaite Ban~
Artist: Asa
Release Date: 10/16/13
Price: 1905 yen

First major album from Vocaloid producer, Asa, who is most famous for “Yoshiwara Lamento.” The album is labeled “Utaite Edition,” meaning that it will feature vocals by famous utaite like Sekihan and Shamuon. It also kind of implies that there’ll be a non-utaite version, most likely with Vocaloid vocals, but nothing else has been announced yet.

EDM Anthem II
Release Date: 7/24/13 ? 8/14/13
Price: 2190 yen

The second release in Universal’s EDM Anthem series. The track list is decent, if a little heavy with mainstream acts. Sebastian Ingrosso’s “Reload” is pretty amazing, though.

There’s more info at the official site. I really wish they wouldn’t set their videos to auto-play, though. -_-

Quake will once again be present with an Exit Tunes booth at the 84th Comic Market, where they’ll be selling exclusive merchandise. The event runs from August 10-12. There’s a big emphasis on the Yuyushiki anime this year. They don’t even have as much Vocalo or Utattemite merchandise as they have in the past.

Item #1: C84 Limited!! TV Anime “Yuyushiki” Original Picture Book. For 1,500 yen you can get a picture book featuring art from the anime, “Yuyushiki.” The book is 164 pages long, 8 of those being in full color.

More merchandise after the jump. There’s also a PV for the goods. At around 4:24 you can hear snippets from the new Another Infinity feat. Mayumi Morinaga song.

Maharaja presents Global Mix
Release Date: 10/2/13
Price: 2400 yen

OMG, new Maharaja release! Unfortunately, it’s not what you might expect. Apparently the Maharaja Roppongi club has a “Global Mix” event where they play EDM and other Top 40 hits. Perhaps in an effort to represent global studios, they’ve licensed tracks from Saifam, Power Music, and Dynamix in addition to in-house tracks. I actually thought that something like this would end up being Rave Mix 001.

Rave Mix Boom! 001
Release Date: 8/7/13
Price: 1200 yen

Digital EP featuring full versions to accompany the recently released CD. I can’t help but think it’s a little pricey, though. EMI’s EDM Compilations were 900 yen for 13-14 songs, while this is 1,200 yen for 10 songs. Avex tax, I guess 🙁
