favorite track: summit of divisions or scarface

release: june 15, 2022
label: EVIL LINE RECORDS
catalog #: KICA-93296
JAN: 4988003600525

the second complete album from the multimedia franchise hypnosis mic!! also one of my first ever CDs. came with a cool as shit poster, a ton of stickers and a drama track CD i can't listen to because i don't know japanese!!! this is a 3-disc set so it comes with the CD in the standard edition + the bonus CD with manga-exclusive tracks and the drama CD. totally one of my favorite albums ever hands down

my favorite tracks from this album are summit of divisions by division all stars and scarface by mad trigger crew, but honorable mentions to lesson and nausa de zuiqu. i love every track on here though lololol

favorite track: T.D.D legend

release: april 24, 2019
label: EVIL LINE RECORDS
catalog #: KICA-3278
JAN: 4988003544713

the first album of the hypmic franchise!!! i got the standard edition so it's just a jewel case, as far as i'm aware the complete edition comes with a drama track but i still can't speak japanese so that didn't seem worthwhile to me lolol. this album is missing the two divisions bad ass temple and dotsuitare hompo that came out after release so it's not my favorite but it has TDD legend and ikebukuro west game park so

T.D.D legend is one of my all-time favorite hypmic tracks so obviously it's the best one on this album, but ikebukuro west game park is a very close second. bonus points for shinjuku style

favorite track: sougyaran BAM

release: november 27, 2019
label: EVIL LINE RECORDS
catalog #: KICA-3281
JAN: 4988003553814

bad ass temple's "before the 2nd drb" album!! hands down the best tracks from bad ass temple as a whole on this one which is why i got it. instead of jewel cases the 2nd drb CDs all come in these thin DVD-like cases which REALLY threw off my shelf arrangements... strange case aside it's a very nice CD. one of my favorites to play at school for sure, though i do get jumpscared by the drama track each time

i love every single track on this album SO MUCH but my favorite is for sure sougyaran BAM since it's so fucking unhinged lol. close second is bad ass temple funky sounds or moonlight shadow!!

favorite track: hiphoppia

release: august 23, 2023
label: EVIL LINE RECORDS
catalog #: KICA3299SET

THIS IS ACTUALLY A SUPER INTERESTING ONE!!! the block party is a two-part EP from the hypmic franchise with the parts named HOMIEs and HOODs respectively. this was the first hypmic release since i joined the fandom so it's actually the first CD i got on release!!! i got some special cases as a first-edition bonus and commemorative prints as a preorder bonus. my personal favorite of the two EPs is HOMIEs because it has ichiro's solo lolol but i really love them both.

my favorite song from both EPs is obviously hiphoppia both because it's ichiro yamada's solo but also because it reminds me of an eminem track i listened to a lot as a kid. other honorable mentions include closer, get busy and rivals!!

favorite track: joy for struggle

release: february 24, 2021
label: EVIL LINE RECORDS
catalog #: KICA-3289
JAN: 4988003579432

it's the first maxi single from the 2nd hypmic drb and dotsuitare hompo's debut!!! also my two favorite divisions battling against each other. how cool is that!? the case is the second one to throw off my organization but that's alright... it looks cool. the cover is actually reversible since you can flip it upside down and it'll display the other division!! i keep mine buster bros side up.

my favorite track from this CD is joy for struggle since it's got some REALLY addictive rhymes and my two fav divs!!! i love wara osaka too. re:start!!! was a bit of a let-down since i don't like calm tracks but it's sweet once you get used to it

favorite track: ore ga ichiro

release: october 25, 2017
label: EVIL LINE RECORDS
catalog #: KICA-3331
JAN: 4988003513238

buster bros!!! generation is the first maxi single from hypmic and the buster bros debut CD!!!! buster bros is my favorite division and i absolutely adore this single with all my might.... minus new star. new star is.... new star. this one doesn't come with a drama track but it does come w/ instrumentals and a cute little buster bros sticker i put on my discman. this jewel case was really strange in the sense that it was rotated 90 degrees? like confusing but ok

i don't speak japanese but i can recite the lyrics to ore ga ichiro from start to finish. go fucking figure. sensenfukoku is such a good track too, but new star is literally my least favorite hypmic song... i'm sorry saburo

favorite track: comedian rhapsody

release: september 2, 2022
label: EVIL LINE RECORDS
catalog #: KICM-3374

this one is the first maxi single from dotsuitare hompo!!! since dh as a division came out later than the first 4 this came out a lot later and with the 2nd drb maxi singles. this one has my favorite tracks from dotsuitare hompo as a division (comedian rhapsody and count the money!!!) i also got a cute little sticker with this one too.

favorite song is obviously comedian rhapsody. it's so clever and i love the lyrics lolol close second is count the money though. rosho's solo under sail is definitely his better solo too!! only catskulls certified bangers on this CD

favorite track: pump it up

release: january 10, 2024

JAN: 4988003625221

this album comes with 2 CDs and is the OST for the second season of hypnosis mic rhyme anima!!! i watched this season weekly while it was airing every friday and obviously preordered the OST. i am OBSESSED with the insert songs and have the bgm CD playing every time i study... since i preordered it and it was a first-press edition, it turns out i ordered a CD with a vinyl-size case. this very much threw off my organization and i had to display it separately from all my CDs... but it came with a cute A4 folder, a set of postcards and a trading card of doppo kannonzaka!!! by far my favorite CD in terms of case, content and freebies lolol

i have SO MANY favorites from this album but one that just stuck out to me is pump it up. i absolutely love electro swing with all my heart and seeing my favorite franchise do an electro swing track had me sold IMMEDIATELY. other tracks i fell in love with are we go with the flow, new world and AN IDOl. honorable mention to jingi pay respect for having jyuto iruma go eminem halfway through

favorite track: double trouble

release: october 15, 2021
label: EVIL LINE RECORDS

double trouble is without a doubt the strangest CD i own. this track has not been officially released but is actually a limited edition bonus CD you get by purchasing one of the hypmic mangas!! i stumbled upon a really crusty version of this track on soundcloud, fell in love, got sad it wasn't officially released yet, then went straight to cdjapan and bought a manga in japanese i cannot even read just to get my hands on this one CD with only one track and yet another drama track i can't listen to... the song is REALLY good though.

there's only one track. i love it. double trouble is so good....

favorite track: inochikaragara & heaven dope

release: september 6, 2023
label: universal music
catalog #: TYCT-60214
JAN: 4988031586921

it's my first ever non-franchise CD!! i'm a HUGE fan of niru kajitsu's songs and once i heard he'd be releasing an album, i shot straight to cdjapan and preordered this one in a heartbeat. niru kajitsu tends to release his songs separately before releasing a CD album, so i had been listening to all of these tracks on this CD for MONTHS ON END... it just so happened that almost every one of my favorite niru kajitsu tracks were on this one CD!!! how lucky am i???? i got a cute sticker of the album cover as a bonus + some ticket thing exclusive to japan. this CD also has a CD exclusive track which is kind of mid but hey, i feel special now

inochikaragara/for dear life is a very special song to me so i was so hyped to finally get it on CD. heaven dope is also possibly my all-time favorite song... not to mention the other bangers on this CD like ameri, slyscraper, bouquet garni, tricologe.... i can't get enough

favorite track: planetaria

release: october 25, 2023
label: sony music associated records
catalog #: AICL-4446
JAN: 4547366641028

this CD has SUUUUCH a long story... this CD is a single for an anime opening from the anime "my new boss is goofy". my friend kumi managed to get me to watch this with him and it became a sort of ritual to watch it every week when it was airing... we ended up obsessed with the anime and since i'm a CD collector my friend managed to get me to order this. planetaria is not the best anime OP i've heard and it's a bit too calm for me but boy oh boy does the emotional value override any opinions i might have about this.... it's a limited pressing too, so the cover has the two main characters from the anime. i'll admit the fact i had known fujifabric from their collab with frederic sliiightly nudged me into buying this....

imagine you're me, sitting on a free period, looking through CDs, and you find this holy compilation CD with like half of your ALL-TIME FAVORITE VOCALOID TRACKS. EVER. so yeah i ordered it immediately and my friend was real confused as to why i was freaking out.. this was my first compilation CD and dear god is the case for this gorgeous. not to mention the obi strip...

this CD managed to sniff out some my favorite songs, like ever?! there's jitterbug by kuriyama yuri/nanashi hachiya, autophagy by hiiragikirai, villain by teniwoha, roki by mikitop, yy by 23.exe, goodbye declaration by chinozo, seraphim on the ring by mitchie m, darling dance by kairikibear... this is a compilation by the GODS, you hear me!?

favorite track: dappou rock & buriki no dance

release: february 2, 2022
label: bushiroad music
catalog #: BRMM-10492
JAN: 4562494354725

this was actually the first CD i bought myself!! was really into prosekai at the time and obviously wxs was my favorite unit, so i landed with this... the jewel case for this is really cool, i love how it's designed. it's also good to be able to listen to chururira chururira daddadda since it got copyright restricted on spotify, lol. another reason CDs solo...

i really like a lot of songs on this CD!! honestly in my opinion there is not a single bad song on here. favorites remain dappou rock and buriki no dance, but honorable mentions are fixer and king, because duh...

favorite track: showtime ruler

JAN: 4562494355890

let me tell you i FREAKED when i found out they were releasing two of my all-time favorite project sekai songs in one CD. again, zoomed STRAIGHT to cdjapan and preordered... as a preorder bonus i got a postcard, a trading card and a cdjapan exclusive print. i gave my trading card to a friend since i'm not that into prosekai anymore though lololol.

i'm a huge fan of karasuyasabou so obviously showtime ruler is my favorite track... i freaked out at how good the full version was lololol. niccori^^ survey team theme is just as good though, but minus points for being a bit overplayed. I STILL KNOW THE CHOREOGRAPHY TO IT

favorite track: toon bangers

JAN: 4988031597743

as a huge fan of swing and j-rap, i was super excited to get my first ever ever electro swing CD from none other than FAKE TYPE, my favorite rap-swing duo!!! tophamhat-kyo is actually my favorite rapper, so i was super excited to get another release with him. not forgetting dyes iwasaki, obviously... i was SUPER EXCITED to get an album with two of my favorite rappers, THHK AND demondice!! hence why toon bangers is my favorite track.

for some reasons completely unknown to me, the reviews for this album are ABYSMAL. people are hating on it left and right. this caught me off guard because fake swing 2 is possibly my favorite FAKE TYPE. album... LET'S GET ONE THING STRAIGHT THOUGH. the biggest point the haters have is that the last song on the album, utakata lullaby, is an ado cover since ado performs it in the one piece movie red! THIS IS FALSE. FALSE FALSE FALSE. as a FAKE TYPE. enthusiast it is CRIMINAL people don't know that utakata lullaby was MADE BY FAKE TYPE, THEN COVERED BY ADO. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT, PEOPLEEEE
