Oh yeah, I forgot to say. Sound Holic announced 3 new albums (jesus f*ing christ man). 強敵 -Extra Boss-, 東風谷 -Kochiya- and huh... Revival Best Ex Feat. 709sec.
Can Toho Eurobeat not ship to the States? I tried to order bol. 16 off AmazonJP, and it wouldn't let me complete the order.

★ Amazon doesn't ship TEB outside of Japan .. here's the purchase link☆
★ Keep an eye out for it on Alice-Books ～ sometimes A-One stocks it there！^^;

Fuck OtakuRepublic. Don't use that shit, @Bonkers. If you are going to use such service, go with CDJapan or something. And, AliceBooks only has TEB14 and 15 anyway. Heck, use my own forwarder if you are willing to wait. heck, he can get it to you for 20$US flat (not 40 like Otacrap).
P.S MSRP for event is 1000yen and MSRP for shops is 1596yen.

I gotta agree with you my friend, I still hate paying over 20 bucks for a 10 USD album .. but I'm too impatient & can't wait
I'm sure Bonkers probably knows someone on FB that lives in Japan ～ if not he can ask Forza ～ Melon & Tora sell TEB new, and Mandarake used.
They're all over Japan, not just Tokyo！^^;

This is exactly the point. OtakuRepublic is not *that* bad if you are ONLY buying one product.
The delivery is fast and if you are only buying one cd a year then it is totally fine.
With Forza for example (if you are buying new event stuff) it takes always more than a month for all to arrive.
Granted it is cheaper but still the waiting time is unbearably painful.

RN 9, DigiWi Best, Toho Dance Anthem 1 Video XFDs (uploaded 9 minutes ago lol, had to edit because they were just uploading TDA1):
A-One is also releasing "Scream out! Complete Datafile!" for everyone who is purchasing four new items from their booth: http://a-one-records.com/special/C94/
"The disc also contains live version of sound source , chorus only sound source, original MIDI data and high quality para data ! Use it for karaoke, challenge remix or enjoy your own Scream out!"
Sadly I'm only buying two, maybe Forza will get some of them because he's mass purchasing items from A-One?
What if one of us is so lucky to get one
And ALIVE!!2018 is also apparently a thing.

Stems, heh. That's one way to make the song "public domain".
And I only get 1. The thing is, the CDs I miss from A-One are mostly their very old catalog when they were known as "A1" such as "Kompakt Disk", "Desktop Museum", "Dystopia", "Pod Jack", etc... and they don't carry these anymore. So, yeah. Oh maybe their Alive! 2017 DVD. Even then, if I took that with TEB 19 and Montage Green, that only makes 3

So, from what I've seen on twitter, EBI Vol.11 Comiket Special Version is housed in a fat 3-discs jewel case (but only contains 2) which is interesting. Also, from another tweet, we see that there was another separate promo disc of some sort. A lead single called "Let's Get Out" by Chiemi, it seems. That song is NOT on Vol.11. So, I'm pretty curious if I'm going to get that CD single or not.

Received my stuff Wednesday.
Listened quickly to the Hyper Techno disc on EBI 11. It's... very disappointing.
More later.

Nothing has arrived for me yet. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow or next week.
Why disappointing?
It feels like there's no energy. The original Monica is agressive AF but then, in HT, it sounds slower. *checks BPMs*
My intuition was right. The original "Monica" is 158 BPM. The Hyper Techno Mix is 148 BPM. The energy of the original is pretty much gone.
Here's a comparision (original, techno):
Secret Moon: 154, 135
Excite Love!!: 160, 152
Labyrinth: 145, 139
Monica: 158, 148
Get It Now!: 161, 158
--Average: 155.6, 146.2--
In all cases, the eurobeat versions are more exciting. Now, I know that Hyper Techno comes from kind of a merge of eurobeat and rave music. Rave is on the slower side. For comparision, I took Techno Kudos by SCP Music (I consider these releases the best Techno I've heard) and made the average BPM for the release: 150,6 BPM. Techno Kudos 2 averages 152 BPM.
So, for me, there's a real lack of energy and just sounds so boring compared to the eurobeat originals.
