Details Announced for 25th Anniversary Event of "TRANCE RAVE," Japan's Best-Selling Trance CD Series, Featuring Legendary DJs in Shinjuku

The "KING OF TRANCE," which sparked the Heisei trance boom and achieved a "Triple Crown" with No. 1 CD sales, No. 1 in number of releases, and No. 1 in number of events, is being resurrected in Reiwa-era Shinjuku. Details, including the lineup of artists, DJs, and the timetable, have been announced for the 25th-anniversary event of Japan's largest trance brand, TRANCE RAVE, to be held at WARP SHINJUKU.

In 2004, TRANCE RAVE accomplished the feat of monopolizing the top 3 spots on the Oricon annual rankings. With total series CD sales exceeding one million units, it holds the top spot for trance CDs in Japan. Its record of over 110 related release titles and more than 500 CD release events held nationwide are also the most for any trance series in the country.

To commemorate its 25th anniversary in 2026, the main DJ of the series, KAYA, who made his major debut in 2001 with the first album, has called upon DJs from all over the country to hold a celebratory event.

The lineup includes legendary DJs who popularized trance throughout the 2000s. This includes DJ FUKUI, known for the massive hit series "Buchiage Trance"; DJ PIROYUKI & DJ KEN-U from the "men's egg Night" collaboration; and DJ UTO, producer of the "HARD TRANCE RAVE" series. They will be joined by currently active top-tier DJs like NorioSP, who has performed at ULTRA, and the Fabulous Show Girls from "BURLESQUE TOKYO," bringing the total number of performers to over 50.
