Anime Nitro 2 ~ANiRe:MATiON EGGs~
Release Date: 1/27/10
Price: 1905yen
Originally titled Anime Nitro*Itaoto Mix! vol. 2, the CD has since undergone a name change. Many of the artists from the first release make return appearances, including Redalice and kors k. The official website has samples up as well as a preview video.

An updated track list has been revealed for Anime Nitro 2. Punk Dirty Channel are back, but the producers of the other tracks aren’t yet known. The list looks pretty solid so far, avoiding the usual anime standards (“Aquarion,” “Zankoku,”). Okay, it does have “Tamashii no Refrain,” but most of the other tracks aren’t too overplayed.

Originally titled Anime Nitro*Itaoto Mix! vol. 2, the CD has since undergone a name change. It’s also been delayed from 12/9/09 to 1/27/10. Redalice and Maki Eguchi, who both appeared on the first Anime Nitro, are scheduled to appear.

Release Date: 12/9/09
Price: 1905yen
The follow-up release to Anime Nitro comes out this December. K-On! and Evangelion fans should be happy with the early list, as it includes two themes from each of those series. The rest of the list seems to be a good mix of older and more recent tracks.
No word on what artists will be involved, but I’d expect many of the contributors to the first Anime Nitro to show up again.
Speed Revolution Vol. 2
Release Date: 8/5/09
Another Speed compilation from Saifam. This second volume includes all of their latest works, plus a few older tracks. It wouldn’t been much nicer if they just released their tracks in order.
Nothing new, but you can buy all of the songs at 192 kbps for about $8.54. If you bought these at Saifam’s website it would cost you approx. 14 bucks.
Speed Revolution Vol. 1
Release Date: 7/7/09
Saifam released a compilation last month featuring an eclectic mix of songs from their Speed catalogue. They’ve got a few of the more recent one, including “Far from Over” and “Koko Soko,” but there’s also lots of older stuff from Jenny Rom and the Zippers. Actually, now that I think about it, “Go Speed Racer Go” technically wasn’t part of their Speed catalogue. O_O
Nothing new, but you can buy all of the songs at 192 kbps for only $8.55. If you bought these at Saifam’s website it would cost you approx. 14 bucks.
Anime Nitro*Itaoto Mix!
Release Date: 6/24/09
Price: 1905yen
kors k + K-On = KO! PREget Music have put up a website for Anime Nitro with samples for all of the tracks as well as a special 12-minute crossfade medley: Anime Nitro Official Site. The kors k remix of “Don’t say ‘lazy'” sounds amazing, as does the PDC remix of “Lion.” I’m surprised that some of the later songs are more jazz than trance, though.
The album is already out of stock at Amazon, who claim that it’ll take 1-2 months to get a copy. Dunno what the situation is at CDJapan or HMV. As for digital versions, King Beat have put up tracks from PREget in the past. The only problem is that King Beat haven’t updated in a month, leading me to believe they’re either on a really long vacation or worse, out of business. 🙁
Edit: I’ve been informed that the official romanization for the title is “Itaoto Mix!” and not “Itaon Mix!” which is what CDJapan was listing it as.

Anime? Check. Star? Check. Exclamation point? Check. Sousei no Aquarion? Check. Yup, it’s another anime dance compilation. At least the cover is relatively classy.
Redalice, kors k, and DJ Sharpnel are among the artists involved, so this should be of interest to J-Core fans.
Happy Hardcore*Speed 2 ~Omikoshi Trance~
Release Date: 7/15/09
Price: 2500 yen
The Half Polish tracks are by Disko Warp, so it looks like they did end up with all of the “Western” tracks. I’m kinda disappointed “Oklahoma Mixer” didn’t make it, though. 🙁
I think the guy in the center of the cover is the singer of the final track on the CD.
Happy Hardcore*Speed
Release Date: 6/17/09
Price: 2500 yen
The official Pony Canyon website now has samples up: http://hp.ponycanyon.co.jp/pchp/cgi-bin/PCHPM.pl?TRGID=PCHP_SKH_1010&CMD=DSP&DSP_SKHBNG=200900000651&DSP_SKHKETSEQ=001
The album is also now up on Japanese iTunes. Unfortunately, it looks like the version on iTunes is also a non-stop mix.

Anime Nitro*Itaoto Mix!
Release Date: 6/24/09
Price: 1905yen
This caught my eye recently. Released by an independent label, it’ll feature primarily trancecore remixes of anime themes. Unsurprisingly, that means “Sousei no Aquarion.” What’s interesting are the scheduled artists, which include Redalice and DJ Sharpnel.
Happy Hardcore*Speed 2 ~Omikoshi Trance~
Release Date: 7/15/09
Price: 2500 yen
Ooooooooohhh, I get it now. “Mikoshi” refers to portable Shinto shrines that are often carried during Japanese festivals, and this album’s theme will be popular festival/folk songs. Yeah, it’s a bit of an unconventional theme for a speed album (though Speed Buyuuden was arguably more random), but at least it’s not anime again! The songs won’t only be from Japan, either. Also included will be popular folk songs from Israel, America, and even Finland. I’m kinda wondering if the three “Western” tracks will be the ones from Disko Warp.
12 tracks are planned at the moment. That may not seem like a lot, but apparently they’ll all be full versions, unlike the first Happy Hardcore*Speed which was a non-stop mix.
Side note: Pony Canyon have the subtitle listed simply as “Mikoshi Trance.” Technically the “o” is only there as an honorific, but I’ll keep it anyway.

Another quick update with track lengths. The whole thing clocks in at around 66 minutes, which isn’t too bad. Hopefully Pony Canyon will put up full versions on iTunes, though.
Happy Hardcore*Speed 2 ~Omikoshi Trance~
Release Date: 7/15/09
Price: 2500 yen
The second release in the Happy Core*Speed series comes out just a month after the first one. Apparently there are at least 4 releases planned, though it’s unknown when the others will come out
A “mikoshi” is a portable Shinto shrine that’s often carried during Matsuri festivals. I’m not really sure what that has to do with happy hardcore. ^^;

Just a quick update with the cover art.
