Super Euro Smash Vol. 6
Release Date: 12/26/14
Price: 1000 yen
It’s been a while since I’ve done a roundup of doujin releases, so in honor of the upcoming Comiket and M3 Spring 2015 I’ll be catching up on recent releases and previewing future releases.
First up is sixth release in the Super Euro Smash series, which was released during Comiket 87 late last year, almost a year after Vol. 5. 2014 wasn’t a very good year for Akiba Koubou, to put it lightly. They had a few repeat-laden releases in the first half of the year, but the second half saw almost nothing from them. Even this release is just a non-stop mix featuring repeats from volumes 4 and 5.

Anison Mix Laboratory ~Second Report~
Release Date: 4/29/15
Price: 2778 yen
Cover art has been revealed, and a few new additional tracks have been announced. “Sorairo Days” is probably the most out-of-place pick, since I thought they were aiming to have songs from more recent shows. Vocalist have also been announced, and it looks like mostly idol groups. Still no word on who will be producing the individual tracks, or what genres will be represented.
Universal have set up an official website for the series.

E-Rotic feat. Lyane Leigh
Release Date: 2015
Well, hot damn, I never saw this coming. The original E-rotic lead singer, Lyane Leigh, announced in December of 2014 that she would be returning to the group, and a new album will be released some time in 2015, which happens to be the 20th anniversary of their first album, Sex Affairs. Right now the new album is being planned as a best-of release with a few new tracks. In addition to the return of Lyane, the group will have a new male rapper, Stephen Appleton. And it appears that David Brandes will still be on board as a producer.
It looks like the ’90s nostalgia boom is in full swing in Europe. Later this month, E-Rotic will perform with Captain Jack, Snap, Culture Beat, and Fun Factory at a German concert.
Keep up with the latest E-Rotic news at their new Facebook page.
Thanks to Vincent for the tip.

Say Captain Say What 2015 (Single)

It’s been about two years since the last Captain Jack single, but CJ is back with a couple of new 2015 remixes of “Say Captain Say Wot.” There’ll also be a new album coming soon titled “20 Years,” which probably means another greatest hits.

Oh, wow, I just spotted this on DJ Hyuji’s twitter. There’s currently a Finnish crowdfunding campaign going on for a Eurodance documentary titled “Never-ending Dream.” The trailer features appearances from Eurodance legends like Pandora, Udo Niebergall (producer behind Captain Jack), Bruce Lacy (the current Captain Jack), and Dr. Alban. There are also mentions of other notable Dancemania acts like E-Rotic, DJ BoBo, and Basic Element, so hopefully members from those groups will be interviewed as well. The movie is currently set to debut at the end of 2016.

EDM Anthem – Best Mix
Release Date: 5/20/15
Price: 2200 yen
Update: Early list is out. Thankfully, there are “new” tracks, or at least tracks that haven’t appeared on EDM Anthem before. 30 tracks are planned in all.
The good news is that EDM Anthem is still alive. The bad news is that the next release will be a best mix, even though I Love EDM -Hits & Anthems- already served as one. No early list yet, but hopefully they’ll sprinkle in a few new tracks.

#IVPB ~Ikemen Voice Paradise Best~

This is a bit of a surprise, as the seventh IVP release came in December of 2013, and there was never a release in 2014. I had written the series off as finished, but Exit Tunes are bringing it back for one last go, advertising this best-of release as “Ikemen Voice Paradise -Final Stage-“. Bonus items include 1 of 4 can badges and a postcard. Retailer-exclusive bonuses are also available. Visit the official website for samples and more info.
