Everything is relative, huh? I imagine that if Avex posted teasers of the songs or trailers some time before the release would be good. Maybe, if they also uploaded themselves it would discourage others from doing so. People will post it online since it's possible - "ah, but it shouldn't and it is bad" - people will do it regardless! How Avex (and the other labels) deal with it is another completely different story… You know that Avex is slowing claiming most those videos on YouTube, don't you? Which means, they are showing ads and stuff to actually make profit. I believe a large portion of the money they are getting from eurobeat nowadays comes from "illegal" streaming on YouTube.
I can say for myself: by uploading their music without permission for my dancing videos and remixes, they started claiming everything, blocking and showing advertising without my permission. What goes around, comes around hahaha Ah, I'm one of those persons who doesn't want to pay the shipping values… just take a look at the rates to South America / Brazil + BRL as worthy as a bag of sh*t + gonna most probably pay 2 cds to get 1 because of that + around 3~5 months of waiting the package = unaffordable prices to buy a cd I will enjoy like 2 or 3 tracks… The only way to stop this from happening is banning eurobeat from streaming websites BUT I know they won't do that since they are somehow gaining money ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Now for my review…
01. Games We Play / Hotblade (SCP)
7/10
Good solid SCP track, nothing much there to add.
02. Heartbeat Song / Speedmaster feat. Angelica (3B)
6/10

I'm not really a fan of saifam's speed covers (and not a fan of speed in general) so…
03. Dr. Wesson And Mr. Smith / Franz Tornado And The Cow Girls (HRG)
99/10
I can see a pattern HRG guys are following here (melody-wise) but… WHO CARES IT'S F*CKING AMAZING THIS RIFF IS THE BEST THING I'VE HEARD IN MONTHS I could make a article about how much I liked this song, but I'll keep quiet, you guys get it, don't cha?
04. My Last Breath Of Love / Cherry (DELTA)
7.5/10
Deep lyrics and powerful chorus, but it's too slow hahaha also the whole song's synths sound a little idle… hmmm maybe it's just my impression, yet, beautiful melody (holy shiiiiiiiiii--- almost 7 minutes hahahaha)
05. Fly With Me Tonight / Kaory (GGM?)
5/10
Nice riff but most the melody in vocals is plainly annoying.
06. Bring Me Into Your Life / David Dima (DIMA)
9/10

Dima needs a hug. Period.
07. 1 Piece Of Action / Latina (SS)
7/10
Good solid SS track, nothing much there to add.
08. Here Comes The Sun / Patty K. (DIMA)
9.5/10
Cuuuuuuute song right the re. As always Dima Music slaying with their uplifiting works, warms my heart.
09. Dancing Lover / Futura (SUNFIRE)
7/10

Good solid Sunfire track, nothing much there to add.
10. Tell Me / Dave Rodgers (SUNFIRE)
8.5/10

Whoa… just whoa! That was awesome, Dave!! Need more Dave on SEB like right now.
11. Hot Bikini / Lady Energy (HRG)
10/10

One of those tracks that get you in the first 10 seconds. This is it. That's the track. So many good things I love right here awwww.
12. Bang Bang Love / Vicky Vale (DELTA)
9/10

Oh my Delta! I need more tracks like this. So catchy and the beat is nice!
13. My Lollipop Girl / Manuel (GGM)
11/10

14. Crazy All Night / Irene (SCP)
10/10

Superb instrumentals with superb vocals, so catchy! That's about it!
15. Feel The Power Of Rock / Bon (SS)

That riff was really unexpected, but it's good plus I really enjoy listening Bon on vocals. The verses remind me of some other Sinclaire tracks, hmm… but that chorus was… something??? Confusing??
