Best Idol – Update
icon1 DanceMaster | icon2 Eurobeat | icon4 10 28th, 2011| icon3No Comments »

Best Idol Non Stop Mixed by DJ Mocchi
Release Date: 11/16/11
Price: 1800 yen

Previously known as Idol Euro. I’m not sure why they changed the name; the old one was far more descriptive. Anyway, cover art and a seemingly final track list have been released. Half of the album is composed of repeats or resings, and many of the tracks from the early list didn’t make it. Worst of all, there’s no Shihori. 🙁 There are a number of new vocalists, though Tomomin gets the most tracks with a total of 4.

Run ‘n’ Gun/Skill (Single)
Artist: Team KY
Release Date: 9/7/11
Price: 952 yen

Second single from the duo comprising Utatte Mita singers Kouhey and Yamadan. “Run ‘n’ Gun” is a new production, while “Skill” is from Super J-Euro Best Mix. Both are produced by DJ Command.

You can order the single from Animate, but they won’t directly ship overseas. Instead, you’ll have to use a middleman service like CDJapan to order the item for you. The single will apparently be made available on Amazon Japan, but it doesn’t seem to be up yet.

Luv Euro 2
Release Date: Winter 2011
Price: 1800 yen

I got my copy of Natsu Euro yesterday and was surprised that there was a teaser for Luv Euro 2 on the obi strip, complete with cover art. It says that it’s scheduled for release “Winter 2011.” I’m kind of wondering if this evolved into Idol Euro, or if it will in fact be a separate release. If it’s the latter, Idol Euro is set for release in November, so if they’re aiming for a winter release for this then it has to mean a December release date.

Pre-order at CDJapan.

Idol Euro
Release Date: 11/16/11
Price: 1800 yen

Another Akiba Koubou release from Full Moon, following Luv Euro and Natsu Euro. The title suggests that there’ll be a focus on idol song covers. I’d be shocked if there isn’t an AKB48 cover on this. Mixed by DJ Mocchi.
