What’s Up Dance The Greatest Hits III
Release Date: 6/11/14
Price: 3000 yen
The latest release in the What’s Up! Dance series. Disc 1 features mainstream dancepop hits, while Disc 2 is basically EDM Anthem III. The preview video implies that these are non-stop mixes, but I can’t say for sure yet as most of the track lengths look like the full versions.

Maharaja presents Global Mix Vol. 2 -EDM Best Hits-
Release Date: 7/30/14
Price: 1852 yen
Huh, for some reason I thought the first one was just going to be a one-off release, but it looks like Avex will continue the Global Mix series this July. Volume 1 was an interesting mix of Saifam, Power Music, and Avex artists, so I’m assuming the sequel will be the same.

TV Dance
Release Date: 7/16/14
Price: 1852 yen
Upcoming dance compilation from Avex that’s being released to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Japanese TV broadcasting. It’s supposed to include dance arrangements of TV themes. No mention of who will be doing the arrangements, or even what genres will be included. I’m hoping we’ll get surprise trance or eurobeat remixes.

Best Hit Disco – Playback 90s
Release Date: 4/30/14
Price: 700 yen
Well, now I’m glad that I procrastinated on buying a Recochoku card for Dance! Dance!! Dance!!! Star Music just released a new iTunes album featuring full versions of the 90s covers that Threemason and Delaction did for the Dance! Dance!! Dance!!! album. It’s 20 songs total for 700 yen, and includes covers of Dancemania favorites like “Dub-I-Dub,” “Hero,” “Butterfly,” and other 90s dance hits. I’m still holding out hope for full versions from Meganimation.
Speaking of Star Music, it seems that they’ve been running a monthly trance party at T2 Shibuya recently called “Ultra Trance.” Recent guest DJs have included J-Trance legends like DJ Kaya, Remo-con, and DJ U*Hey? I’m hopeful that they’ll release an Ultra Trance digital compilation in the future.

1 More Shot!!
Release Date: 3/12/14
Price: 900 yen
New EP from the Party Animal crew, which is composed of DJ Tora and some other guys. Even though the songs are mostly EDM, you can definitely hear the DJ Tora influence. In fact, one of the songs, “Tokyo Rave,” is like a pseudo-remake of DJ Tora’s “Another Night.” The other two songs on the EP first appeared on FARM’s WMC -World Music Cruise- digital release earlier this year.

I Love Party 2 -Welcome 2 da Dance Floor-
Release Date: 4/23/14
Price: 1850 yen
This is being billed as the second release in Universal’s I Love Party series, so I guess they’re forgetting that I Love Party Pop exists. The announced artists are the usual Universal fare, meaning Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Chris Brown, and Nicki Minaj. And I think Universal has finally taken the repeat king crown; “Beauty and a Beat” has somehow appeared on all 3 albums in the series.
