Cyber Trance 10th Annivesary
Release Date: 4/20/11
Price: 2427 yen
2011 marks the 10th anniversary of Cyber Trance, and Avex are celebrating with repeats galore! Most of these songs were already featured on Super Best Cyber Trance, released in 2008, but never underestimate Avex’s desire to use the same songs over and over again. They could’ve at least commissioned new remixes to celebrate the anniversary

Exp. (Experience) (Single)
Artist: Mayumi Morinaga
Release Date: 4/29/11
Price: 952 yen
New single from Mayumi Morinaga. Details are sparse at the moment, but I wonder if it’ll include her cover of “No Challenge, No Success,” which still hasn’t been featured on any Exit Trance compilations. Check out the MK remix below, and the Hommarju remix after the jump. I gotta say, her English sounds much improved.
Ora Ora Psy Trance
Release Date: 2/2/11
Price: 1900 yen
Originally known as Ora Ora Psyche Best. Although there are a few new tracks, it’s mostly the same old songs that have been appearing on Psychedelic Rave and Trance Rave Best over the last few years. I swear Victor are the absolute worst when it comes to repeats.
Trance Rave Best XXI “World Greatest Hits” ~Super Best Coverz~
Release Date: 4/6/11
Price: 1900 yen
Victor seems intent on resurrecting a lot of their series lately, as the last Trance Rave Best came out almost 9 months ago with the release of Trance Rave Best 20. I kind of assumed they ended it since 20 would’ve been a nice number to go out on, but TRB is back with a collection of covers. Unfortunately, most of these covers are quite old and definitely overplayed.
20th Century Boy (Single)
Artist: Rew
Release Date: 3/2/11
Price: 600 yen
Previously only available at Beaport, FARM have now put up the new remixes on iTunes Japan along with full versions of some older remixes.
Arigatou Gojaimasu (Single)
Artist: Doz
Release Date: 12/8/10
Price: 1000 yen (CD Only Version), 1800 yen (CD+DVD Version)
Hip-hop comedy duo, Doz, get the remix treatment from Prog5, Overhead Champion and DJ Command. The song is basically the same three words sung over and over again. o_O
Mega Trance presents Glutton Boyz Selection Vol. 3
Release Date: 2/2/11
Price: 1200 yen
Quite a few new songs on this year’s edition. In addition to a new Glutton Boyz song, there’s also a new remix of their first track, “Jackknife.” There are also new tracks from MSG and new artists like U’time, Climbceasar and Grand Chance. Perhaps some of these new tracks will appear on Mega Trance 12?
20th Century Boy (Single)
Artist: Rew
Release Date: 1/19/11
Price: $4.98
A Beatport-exclusive release featuring a new 2011 remix of “20th Century Boys” as well as a remix by Psychedelic Lover mainstay, InterSys.
Joysound presents Anison Trance Laboratory ~First Report~
Release Date: 3/2/11
Price: 2095 yen
A brand new series from Universal Music featuring trance covers of anime themes. The songs were picked out based on their popularity on the Joysound service. Exit Trance producers will supposedly be involved, while vocals will be supplied by various idols and idol groups.
If you get the first-press edition, you’ll receive a bonus CD with 15-20 minutes of content, likely karaoke versions, which would be rather fitting. You’ll also get a bath poster featuring the art of Kaworu Watashiya.
Exit Trance presents Speed Anime Trance Best 12
Release Date: 4/6/11
Price: 1905 yen
I was starting to think that Quake had abandoned the Exit Trance series completely, given that it’s been a while since the last ET release, and they didn’t even bother with a Speed Anime Trance Complete Best 3. Thankfully, the SATB series will continue with a 12th edition coming out this March. Pretty interesting choices so far. Some of the tracks will obviously translate easily to speed trance, but “Down Town” should be pretty crazy.
Comes with a fake credit card, and if you send in the survey you can get a bonus karaoke CD.

Release Date: 1/26/11
Price: 1200 yen

Price: 1900 yen
Psychedelic compilation from Victor Japan. Originally scheduled for release in February, but it’s been delayed to March. No track list yet, though you can probably expect repeats from the Psychedelic Rave series.
