I finally got this yesterday. This is the Japanese edition of the band's debut album released in 1994
The name was based off of a British TV soap opera. Also, a couple of the songs are seen again in their 2nd album, "Life"
The Spaniel dog seen on the cover reoccurs in their single, "Sick & Tired". Not sure who is the dog or what they represent, but it makes the cover of the album significant.

Here is a recent one of my collection, Dancemania Summers 3. This album released in 2000 and features stars such as Geri Halliwell, Scorccio, The Prodigy, N-Trance, and more!
As of now, I have 3/4 CDs of the Dancemania Summers collection: Summers 2, Summers 3, and Summers 2001. I don't plan on getting the first one as to be honest, it one of my LEAST fav albums in the Dancemania series (I only liked one song from there).
While Summers 3 does feature latin and house tracks, it seems to be more focused on hip-hop and hip-hop-esque type of music. There is also some tracks that feel more appropriate for Dancemania Winters (ex. "Breathe" - The Prodigy, "Music : Response" - The Chemical Brothers). But overall I enjoy it!
Another thing! 2 tracks from here were added to the Dance Dance Revolution games: "Conga Feeling" - Vivian, & Gotcha (The Theme From Starsky & Hutch) - Andy G's Magic Disco Machine
Fav Tracks:
Why (H0rny Radio Edit) / Pearl'House (which makes me sad as there isn't a full version of this track anywhere)
Latin Session / Mixmaster
Is It Love (Original Remix) / Chili Hi Fly
Music (Is The Answer) (Club Mix) / Double You
Front To The Back (Mint Royale Main Mix) / Cut Masters
Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia) / Us3
Gotcha (The Theme From Starsky & Hutch) / Andy G's Magic Disco Machine
My personal fav of the normal albums of Hime Trance (besides the 4th one) is the 2nd issue. This one features Ariel in the cover.
It features songs and remixes such as Papaya's "Hero" and Tsukasa's "Mermaid". Also the bonus track for this one is Yuki Kimura's "Love & Joy". I see a pattern of the bonus tracks just being J-Pop songs and not Trance.
This is the 2nd issue of the Dancemania SPEED series, released in 1999. It's also the most recent of my Dancemania collection ^-^
The album features UK Hardcore DJs & projects such as: Sound Assassins, Brisk, Silk Cuts, Raver's Choice, etc. Including hardcore remixes from acts such as E-Rotic, Smile.dk, Captain Jack, Deja Vu feat. Tasmin, and more!
I'd say if you are looking for mainlime SPEED releases that contain UK Hardcore and Speed remixes ONLY, then I'd recommend this one and (SPEED 1 & 3).
The other albums are good, it's just they started to add other speedy music such as LED Records' eurobeat and S.A.I.F.A.M.'s speed tracks.
Fav Tracks:
Techno Wonderland / Raver's Choice
Sunshine After The Rain / Go Mental
Vol.1 / Silk Cuts
Follow The Sun (90 In The Shade Mix) / Triple J
Here I Am (Analogue Mix) / DJ Ham, DJ Demo, Justin Time
This is the 3rd set of Canadian label Odeon Record's "Planet Freestyle" series. The series features artists such as Collage, Alexia, Solina, Dimi, and more!
My introduction the this series comes from the Dmania series! They licensed a lot of Freestyle tracks from compilations such as Tazmania and especially Planet Freestyle. I was lucky to find this one as Planet Freestyle CDs are very rare and hard to find.
About the tracks, I think they are pretty solid! Most of not all tracks do not disappoint! I also like the inclusion of "euro house/eurodance-ish?" Bonus tracks, which is cool! These days, I've been searching for more Freestyle CDs, I think it's a pretty underrated dance genre!

Also a couple of their songs have been featured in the Dancemania EX series
This is Misa's debut album released in 2006. It is known for hits such as "Banzai" and "Ichinichi".
The album house very Bubblegum Eurodance type music, Including trance and eurobeat remixes. The other disc is a DVD featuring ParaPara & TraPara (Trance ParaPara) routines for the songs.
The character designs were by the illustrator "Ai Takeuchi", she is known for designing the Hime Trance characters.
Actually, this album is part of the Hime Trance series. While looking at pics of the obi online, the top part has the "姫トラ presents" logo on top!
Best Tracks:
Du-Du Di-Da
BANZAI
SO SO ~恋のゴールデン☆ゴール~ (Overhead Champion Vocal Edit)

HAI<HI<HIGH
イチニチ (Mark Farina & The Facory Team Extended Remix)
This is the 3rd set of the Hime Trance series, and the 1st one that was ever in my posession.
Out of all of the others in the series, this one had some problems. While it is called Hime Trance, a couple of the songs in the tracklist aren't trance. Some of them were house, eurodance, and even J-pop. Thus felt out of place in the album
It isn't all the worst as it came with good tracks such as the trance remix of Misa's "Natsumonogatari ~Summer Story~" and Mint's "Believe Your Mind", which imo was too short
It even housed another version of "Distance" which felt more at home compared to the version in Hime Trance 2. I actually prefer the Hime 3 version.
