So errr..... the Comiket (or Comic Market) is upon us yet again for what is like one of the most chaotic otaku convention in the world!!! Also known as the "winter comiket" for obvious reasons, there will be as usual a wide array of merchandise from doujin manga, music, and well, many other stuff I guess lol. But just like my previous Comiket post, I'll just be covering the music part of the event mostly being albums which I'm looking forward to being released. =)

Note: Some of the albums have little information on them, so I'll try to update this posts if any new info gets through.

[TCPLUS-0005] HARDCORE TANO*C - Speed Ball Z
Should be something similar to SpeedBall if the title is anything to go by. Quite liked that album a lot, as almost all the songs are high bpm and tempo. J-speedocre at its best!

[MSTBL0020] Mob Squad Tokyo Black Label – J-Core Masterz Vol. 6
A continuation of the J-Core Masterz series of albums. Pretty self explanatory there...

[MSTBL0019] Mob Squad Tokyo Black Label – Fuck DJ Paper Chaos EP
After the fiasco that happened on J-Core Masterz Vol.5 regarding DJ Paper Chaos, the Mob Squad Crew thought it was a great idea to make songs based on him, and so the EP was born. Not so sure what the songs will be about, but one things for sure, its all gonna be about DJ Paper Chaos! F*** DJ PAPER CHAOS!!!! (in a certain Argentinian accent lol)

[MPTCD010] MPT – Bastard Pop Terrorists Vol.10
Same with J-Core Masterz, this is another series of the Bastard Pop Terrorists albums. A welcome surprise is Shingo DJ will make his first appearance on this album, as well as a certain new artist (well not really new if you know who it was) named SMASHCORE making a debut in the album. Should be something worthwhile listening to both of them...

[MSTBL0022] DJ A.Q. - THE VERY BEST OF DJ A.Q. REMIXES
Oh.... my..... gawd!!!! A DJ A.Q. compilation!!!? YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...... I'm just lost for words, thoughts and whatnot lol. I just love Aura Qualic, such a talented artist and also a all around good person. If I could get my hands on this, I would buy it without thinking twice!!!

[SHOT-002] Shot Music – FORTUNE ARTERIAL-Omnibus Edit-『P-O-P』
After listening to Shot Music's first release, Super Shot, I thought this was worth a mentioned. As the title suggest, it will mostly be a Fortune Arterial arranged album so I do not know much how the album is gonna be like. Hopefully it will be good lol...

[SRPC-0025] SharpnelSound Collection -弐-
DJ Sharpnel's compilation of songs. *yawn*

[AECD-020] ALiCE'S EMOTiON – Sphere Calibar
REDLiCE? Touhou remixes? You bet!

[CHS-0006] t+pazolite – Gotta Maze 2
If you love t+pazolite, then you will love this. No happy hardcore or Touhou stuff here, its all t+paz speedstyle!!! Definitely worth the wait IMO...

[IBCD-0011] VA – Hydrangea
Another Touhou album, but doesn't suck as much as REDALiCE's though haha. Tsukasa has always made good music, doesn't matter if he mostly does release Touhou arranged albums. I just liked listening to his albums haha...

[TDCD001] Betwixt & Between – Pure Existence
OMG B&B has made an album? Haha this is just gonna be epic. If anyone has listened to his songs (especially when he was with Hase on Khaotic Dimention) you would just be blown away by his songs. Its not your average J-Core song either.... sadly though, there is not much information on the album or what songs might appear on the album. Just listen to the demo on the link if you want to know how epic this album will be...

Well I do apologize if the post seems a little long and random or that I missed several other key releases here, but being very tired and trying to type in the middle of the night doesn't help me out much either haha. If anything, just click the link below for more key releases coming from C77:
Doujincore
VGMdb

Thats about it from me for now, will try to update the list again if there is any new info. (well, that is if I could remember that is haha!)

Well yeah, I know this event is in Japan and the odd and chances of me being there is absolutely zero but thought I would just post what I'm expecting from Comiket this time around....

As the name implies (which is short for Comic Market) you'd think they would just be selling comics over there but if you think that you'd be wrong. Sure the majority of the things selling over there would still probably be dōjin comics, as well as other dōjin products related to anime (note: dōjin just means fanmade/unofficial products which are made by "circles") but of course my main interest is the dōjin music, specifically J-Core. Here is the list of the albums that are on my wishlist:


[TANOCD-0010] HARDCORE TANO*C – Hardcore Syndrome 3
What can be arguably said the album that is on everyone's mind in the J-Core scene. All the best J-Core artists with their different styles combined into one mind blowing album, its just a recipe for total epicness!!! With the previous 2 "Hardcore Syndrome" anything to go by, this is just gonna be as good (if not better) than what the last one had to offer.


[MPTCD009] MPT – BASTARD POP TERRORISTS VOL.9
Another "V.A." compilation album, full of J-Core songs that are top notch. Not as good a lineup as TANO*C but none the less with names such as M-Project, DJ Sharpnel, DJ Aura Qualic, M-Neko as well as several others in the album, it is something to look forward to. Especially when there is Aura Qualic!!!! =D


[SRPC-0024] DJ Sharpnel - 妄殺オタクティクス
Don't think I have to say much about why I love DJ Sharpnel. After hearing DJ Sharpnel played his set on Otaku Hardcore Revolution 2 I'm just completely sold over why he is considered on of the best in the J-Core scene. Wish I had the time to listen to more of his songs on my computer....


[DARKCD-0007] Druggy's Acid RacK - Pain Continues
Another J-Core compilation album, with probably even less known artists as the first two mentioned above. But of course with kenta-v.ez. and t+pazolite in it I just got to have this album, bringing their nu-style sound to a whole another level. Of course the other artists in the album is worth having a listen to as well, certainly something a little different from the more mainstream J-Core sound that is usually being played.


[MSTBL014] Mob Squad Tokyo – J-CORE MASTERZ VOL.5
Again, same s*** with J-Core and all but this time its more on the Mob Squad Tokyo crew. Only thing I'm looking forward to in this album (like almost every other MST albums lol) is Round Wave Crusher (a.k.a. Shingo DJ) hahahahaha.....


[ACED-018] ALiCE'S EMOTiON – Colors
J-Core with Touhou mixed in. Like almost every other Touhou music arrangement albums you'd think it would just suck right? Well yeah, I guess it kinda sucked but since its REDALiCE it probably wouldn't be all that bad. There is always one or two tracks that I would get addicted to right away and have a hard time stop listening to it. (which does happen quite often to me)


[IBCD-0009] Sound Online - Nostalgia
and lastly this. Something similar in a way to ALiCE'S EMOTiON album (being a Touhou arrangement album) I don't think I have to say much about the album. With that said though listening to a Tsukasa composed song is pretty good....

Well yeah that is all I have to list down right now, would have like to added more to the list but that would take up so much time. Also I know there is also many other things I would like to cover that is coming up at Comiket (like the comics and figurines) but I don't think I have much interest (or the money for that matter) to talk about them. Unlike music which is easier to find and get (if you know where to look) I have a very little chance of obtaining those other stuff here.
