Last year 2015, it seemed to me I was scoring heavily from CDJapan, SHM SACD's, most stereo, some multichannel. Now seems like all has dried up. Any of you hip cats have inside information of Japan having another good release year? I hate to be dependent on only what Audio Fidelity does.
 
The last SHM-SACD releases I'm aware of (from Public Image and Bryan Ferry) were issued by Universal Japan in September 2015. Haven't heard about anything newer since.
See the SHM-SACD discussion thread at https://www.quadraphonicquad.com/fo...-Universal-Japan-SHM-SACDs&highlight=SHM-SACD

As far as new SACDs, there are new titles coming from Hong Kong as well as new SACDs from several Classical Music labels in 2016.
See the SACD Rebirth in Hong Kong thread at https://www.quadraphonicquad.com/forums/showthread.php?18819-SACD-s-rebirth-in-Hong-Kong

There are also additional DSD Downloads, both Stereo and Multichannel, coming in 2016.
An example: Native DSD has announced that they will be releasing 5 to 10 new DSD Downloads every week during 2016.

In short, more fine SACD and DSD music ahead. Even beyond Audio Fidelity. :)
 
It seems that Universal Japan HAS suspended its SHM~SACD and BD~A releases, as well.

Gratifying to know that hi res physical discs (predominantly stereo) continue to be released in Hong Kong.

Just hope this isn't a portend of things to come (cessation of hi res 'physical' media).
