Crazy Shakin’ Love (Single)
Artist: Sweet Surrender
Release Date: 8/19/13
Price: 3.96 USD
Debut single from the idol unit, Sweet Surrender. The second track, “Kirari * Shooting Star,” was produced by Shohei Matsumoto (a.k.a. Heavens Wire) and features a classic Hime Trance sound. The single is available digitally worldwide on a number of platforms, including Amazon MP3 and iTunes.
Scandal Party -X.O.X.O Special Night- (EDM Hit Booyah ~Yougaku Top 40 Made~)
Release Date: 1/8/14
Price: 900 yen
I wonder what’s with FARM’s preoccupation with scandals? Anyway, this is probably their weakest digital compilation in a while. Way too many repeats and uninteresting tracks.
Party Time Compilation
Release Date: 1/22/14
Price: 600 yen
Digital compilation from FARM Records, featuring full versions from Party Time -Golden Hits Megamix-.
DJ Tsuru Best Select selected by DJ Tsuru
Release Date: 12/4/13
Price: 900 yen
Yup, another digital compilation from Star Music, once again featuring the same old repeats. Would it really kill them to commission new remixes or at least license new tracks from Power Music? Despite the title, this is a mixed release.
Wonder B Mix selected by Wonder B
Release Date: 11/6/13
Price: 900 yen
Yet another digital collection from Star Music Entertainment. They’ve released many of these tracks numerous times now, yet they still can’t be arsed to release full versions from Meganimation. Anyway, despite the title this isn’t a mixed album, so I guess 25 tracks for 900 yen isn’t too bad.
Available on iTunes Japan.
21st Greatest Hits mixed by DJ Kazma
Release Date: 10/23/13
Price: 900 yen
Another digital collection from Star Music Entertainment, this time mixed by DJ Kazma (presumably no relation to Akiba Koubou’s DJ Kazma). I really wish they’d remix some new tracks. They’ve been relying on the same ones for a few months now.
Available on iTunes Japan.
Love EDM presents Showtek EP
Release Date: 12/25/13
Price: 600 yen
A digital EP from FARM Records featuring songs from EDM artist, Showtek.
R&B House Drivin’ ~Mafuyu no Drive Life~
Release Date: 12/25/13
Price: 900 yen
Digital compilation from FARM Records meant for early winter driving. This is a nice selection of 20 tracks for 900 yen, but one of my biggest peeves about FARM’s digital compilations is that they often feature repeats from other digital releases, so you might end up with the same track multiple times. -_- Also, for some reason they use radio edits of Daiki x ZK songs, even though the duo often post longer edits on Youtube.
The EDM ~Erotic Dance Music~
Release Date: 12/25/13
Price: 900 yen
Digital EDM compilation from Victor Japan featuring select full versions from the CD release, The EDM ~Erotic Dance Mix~.
Asamade Nomisugi Chuui Ho! ~Enkai Song Best~
Release Date: 12/18/13
Price: 900 yen
New digital compilation from Avex with songs for end-of-year parties. Features favorites like “Night of Fire,” “Dragostea Din Tei,” and “Tokyo, Go!”
Love EDM -Party Queen- Compilation selected by DJ Yuria
Release Date: 12/18/13
Price: 900 yen
Digital EP featuring full versions from Love EDM -Party Queen-. Oddly, it leaves off the Japanese remixes. Available on iTunes Japan.
So Wicked (Love EDM Club Edit) (Single)
Release Date: 11/27/13
Price: 200 yen
New EDM remix of The United’s “So Wicked,” which was featured on FARM’s Love EDM -Party Queen- compilation.
House Flavor R&B -Best of 2013-
Release Date: 12/4/13
Price: 1200 yen
9th release in the digital series, which collects fulls versions of songs from various FARM compilations, though I’m not sure if this actually counts as Vol. 9 since it actually has quite a few tracks from previous volumes. Tracks in green have been featured on mixed CDs before, but are available as full versions for the first time here.
Featured artists include FARM mainstays like Daiki × ZK and Minimum Cox, as well as newer names like Countdown Groove and MST.
Party Hits R&B -Hands Up!!!-
Release Date: 10/16/13
Price: 600 yen
Full versions from the Party Hits R&B series. Includes an exclusive DJ Hiroki remix, but it’s only available if you purchase the entire album.
Available on iTunes Japan.
Dance! Dance!! Dance!!! mixed by DJ Satoshi
Release Date: 9/4/13 (7/13/13 Tsutaya)
Price: 4950 yen
I’ve been begging for full versions from this album to be made available, mostly for Delaction’s new arrangement of “Butterfly” as well as Threemason’s covers of other Dancemania classics. The other day, Doc-S mentioned a site (http://www.japan-codes.com/) that sells prepaid cards in the comments. I was surprised to see that they also sold Recochoku prepaid cards, so I went to Recochoku to see if they had anything worth purchasing and was even more surprised to find that they had full versions from this album! The edit of “Butterfly” is 4:40, about 2 minutes longer than the edits that it’s been given on nonstop mixes.
The only downsides (or possibly upsides) are that you can only purchase the tracks individually, and the digital edition only has 33 out of 35 songs from the CD. If you buy all 33 tracks at 150 yen, it’s 4950 for the whole album. However, if you’re only interested in the new Delaction and Threemason productions, it’s 1950 yen for the 13 tracks.
