I absolutely loved the original track from Ikimono Gakari - Sakura. I couldn't help but make remix of it :D
It started out slow and I really had to think about where I wanted to go with such an amazing Acapella. There was not a proper BPM because it was played live so I had to find the nearest matching one (75) and adjust the vocal to the grid (which was most time consuming)
I usually put a lot of sidechain compression but since I wanted to go for a more acoustic feel I decided to use a soft kick which doesn't stand out but still gives that low end without harsh sidechain & there are a lot of orchestral elements which you will hear if you listen closely.

You're awesome
Cheers
