例大祭 2014: New Denpa Album by IOSYS 『はいぱぁ電波これくしょん!』





After a long wait since their last album purely dedicated to denpa songs, IOSYS delivers to us 『はいぱぁ電波これくしょん!』. To be released on May 5 at this year’s Reitaisai, the title, a clear reference to their album released in 2009 『 ワァオ!ハイパー電波チャン 』, already foreshadows its quality. All the songs are arranges from Touhou BGMs most of them in very ingenious and original ways, adding a new and crazy flavor to the old songs you’ve listened to a lot if you play the games. There is a slight predominance of Perfect Cherry Blossom arranges but most of the Windows games are represented with the exceptions of Imperishable Night, Unidentified Fantastic Object, Double Spoiler and, surprisingly enough, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. The real treat comes from a triple arrange of Highly Responsive to Prayers BGMs’ on the 11th track, a game that still needs a lot more love in the arranging scene.

The staff is truly amazing: miko, ななひら, とろ美, ちよこ, 大瀬良あい, 柏木るざりん, t+pazolite, beatMario, ココ and DJ SHARPNEL just to name a few! But arguably the thing to look forward to the most is a new collaboration between ARM and 桃井はるこon the first track マスパでシュッ☆メイドウィッチまりさちゃん. This is the second time they work together since the song ハッピー☆マテリアル on the album 『more&more quality RED ~Anime song cover~』. This compilation brings us all kinds and styles of denpa songs: dazzling and glossy, vocally enthralling, aggressively addicting and completely nonsensical. There are even full jokes like having a choir of sin sacks singing to their beloved Yukarin or Hatate talking to gods and toilets. A great catch for whoever wants a good taste of the contemporary denpa scene.
