More Bishoujo Remix Goodness… I think.
So, in an attempt to sway the bishoujo market towards the loveliest of dance remixes – Shot Music has come up with a comprehensive little package. They’ve even given the random girl on their CD a name and profile including her three sizes, for god’s sake. :p (The character is half Dutch, which makes me lol a little bit.)

While kors k and DJ Shimamura seem to have been working overtime with these remixes, I can’t help but feel that the remixes presented here are going to be… watered down? It aims more for the mainstream than Ultimate A-Style did, and I can’t help but feel like this is going to be a CD like Amasia for me – Not something I’d really, really actively listen to but I’d buy it for collection’s sake. The choice of remixers isn’t bad at all – the surprises of Blasterhead and AQ were certainly unexpected.
I do have my hope on Aura Qualic actually doing a good job on this provided he doesn’t do any hardcore and sticks to doing trance/vocal trance, which is probably the area he does best in.
However, I can’t tell until I can listen to this CD. Meanwhile, M3 has come and gone so I am eagerly awaiting the releases that come from that (with the exception of REDALiCE’s bazillionth Touhou album).
Remixes for the Bishoujo Gamer: Shot Music & Super Shot
Yosuke Seino aka DJ Champ of Side Connection Music has announced that Side Connection Inc. has formed a sublabel of Side Connection entitled “Shot Music” which according to him, is a label concerned with bringing dance music to the (bishoujo) gaming scene. He also mentions possible collaboration with Upsurge and with overseas artists as part of the master plan for Shot Music. They’ve even got a nice little website up.
There is no surprises then, that Shot Music have announced their first release entitled Super Shot which is a Bishoujo Game Remix CD. At the moment, the only thing that’s been announced so far is the songs that are going to be remixed, the games that they are from and the vocalist of said song. Unfortunately, not the news that I am more interested in hearing about who is remixing said songs (though if we follow Ultimate A-Style’s artist roster, I’ll assume DJ Shimamura, kors k/teranoid/Omega Force/StripE, Shinji Hosoe, Ryu*, JAKAZiD, REDALiCE should be on there in some way or form?)
The release of Super Shot is slated for November 27 2009.

If memory serves me right, the chick on the cover looks suspiciously like the main character(?) of Fortune Arterial. And while nothing on the list of songs particularly excites me except for Shinsei Philosophy, I have a feeling that this remix album won’t be too bad though it does seem to be following the Ultimate A-Style template to the t. If that’s the case, then bring on the new teranoid song, hahaha.
