Vibes Zenkai Spring Festival! (Vibes Zenkai Haru Matsuri!)
Release Date: 4/15/14
Price: 1000 yen
Digital only follow-up to last year’s Vibes Zenkai Summer Festival! There’s no accompanying mix CD this time, it seems. At first I was surprised that there were actually some more recent songs, and then I kept reading the tracklist and saw “Beauty and a Beat” and “2012 (It Ain’t the End).” -_-

Both discs are also available separately on iTunes Japan.
Exit Tunes presents Entrance Dream Music
Release Date: 4/15/15
Price: 2100 yen
The Speed Anime Trance Best series has taken a hiatus, but it looks like Exit Tunes haven’t abandoned the dance music scene completely. The EDM boom is in full force, so this April they’ll be releasing a Vocaloid EDM album featuring top producers, including Ryu* and Sota Fujimori! Sadly, no appearances from other Exit Trance mainstays. Bonus items include a sticker (1 of 4 designs) and a poster. Retailer-exclusive bonuses are also available, ranging from can badges to remix CDs. Visit the official website for samples and more info.

No.1 Party Mix -Ultra Hits R&B- mixed by Satoshi Hoshino
Release Date: 5/13/15
Price: 1850 yen
New entry in Star Music’s No.1 Part Mix series, which hasn’t seen a release since 2013. The first release was composed of Power Music licenses and included a few remixes by Japanese artists like ET-Q, DJ Satoshi and U*Hey?. And then they repeated those remixes endlessly for two years. It’s probably not a good sign that the early list has songs from previous entries in the series. Also interesting that DJ Satoshi is going by his full name now.

New digital non-stop mix from FARM Records, mixed by DJ Yagi and DJ A*Lucky. They take full advantage of digital releases having no maximum length, delivering an impressive 100-minute megamix.

Party Fever -Original EDM Megamix- mixed by DJ Roc the Masaki
Release Date: 6/3/15
Price: 1800 yen
A new EDM compilation from FARM Records. I don’t know if this is a continuation of the “Party Splash” series, or a new series altogether. I imagine it’ll mostly be Spinnin’ Records licenses.
