My track submission for the mashup album "μ'score" (or "Musecore")

I just wanted to put CMKC's voice into one of my remixes.

Mikito & Masara - Dist@nt Fields Ft. CMKC (PolariS Remix)

Their voices in the song "Sora mo Kokoro mo Hareru Kara" which is included in the second Love Live! Sunshine!! Anime Blu-ray are filled with emotion. Honestly, I've almost cried twice because of how good the ballad is. Anju Inami, Rikako Aida, and Saitou Shuka did a great job in giving the feelings of wishful thinking and hope to the song. I love it and I love them!

Because Our Hearts Will Clear Up Just Like The Skies (PolariS Remix)

This song is so catchy and upbeat that I had fun making this remix. I figured that since this Aqours song had a feel of an EDM song, another EDM remix would fit nicely. What I did came from an idea of mine when I first heard of the original song and it goes like this: "What if Aqours made a collab song with western EDM artists like KSHMR, Calvin Harris, or Martin Garrix?"

Then I ended up with a remix that's more upbeat and heavier than the original. Hope you enjoy!

I post my remixes there but with neat visuals. There are two remixes that I published here before but were taken down, so check my channel out!

Original Song: Daydream Warrior
Band: Aqours
Singers: Ruby Kurosawa (CV. Ai Furihata), Yoshiko Tsushima (CV. Aika Kobayashi), Hanamaru Kunikida (CV. Kanako Takatsuki), Chika Takami (CV. Anju Inami), You Watanabe (CV. Shuka Saitou), Riko Sakurauchi (CV. Rikako Aida), Dia Kurosawa (CV. Arisa Komiya), Kanan Matsuura (CV. Suwa Nanaka), Mari Ohara (CV. Aina Suzuki)

Aqours - Daydream Warrior (PolariS Remix)

The moment I heard the saw synth and the chord progression in the first part of the original song, I knew I was going to love everything about Guilty Eyes Fever. Aika definitely brought out the "guilty" part of the song with her smug and intense singing. Rikako complimented Aika through how gentle and innocent her singing was. Finally, the reach of Aina's voice during the verses portrayed the bubbly personality of Mari perfectly. The lyrics contain pretty bold messages for an idol group. But hey, so is WILD STARS.

I went for a future house remix with their voices and the chords of the song. I have a feeling that this classy "fashion show" style would fit their personalities well. A lighter house remix compared to my Daydream Warrior remix is just what I needed to get some diversity in my tracks. Hope you enjoy!

Guilty Kiss - Guilty Eyes Fever (PolariS Remix)

A short version of what I came up with after watching Koe No Katachi (A Silent Voice). It's a small step to getting used to making soundtracks and BGMs.

I love the soothing sound of the Rhodes piano. It creates an atmosphere of tranquility and it gives off a "floating" feeling. I made the piece to express longing and patience.

雨が降ってきたとき (Ame Ga Ori Hajimeta Toki)

A stroke of inspiration led me to make this. This is my first time making a song that isn't house or future bass, and I'm happy with the result.

This song never fails to bring nostalgia, especially the times when I was watching Bakemonogatari. Hope you enjoy!

Supercell - Kimi No Shiranai Monogatari (PolariS Remix)

It's always fun to remix a bubbly AZALEA song and express the different emotions conveyed in the song in different ways. I prefer the kinds of remixes in which many elements of it are completely original rather than just simply remaking the melodies. Transforming the innocent feeling of the song into a dramatic kind is what I aimed to do on this one.

On a different note, I tried to experiment and do things that I haven't done before, particularly using different synths apart from the ones I usually use.

AZALEA - GALAXY HidE and SeeK (PolariS Remix)

The song, including the lyrics and the way Guilty Kiss sang it, is sexy. I thought that my remix of this song should be sexy as well, so I used a number of jazz elements and the type of bouncy beat that you would normally hear in recent pop songs. In fact, it's more like a pop song than an EDM track to me.

I'd like to bring out the passionate and somewhat sensual emotions brought out by Guilty Kiss. It's not as bass-heavy as the ones I've made before, but I still like it. I had fun making it. Hope you enjoy!

EDIT: I just realized that the final track didn't include the vocoder that I used. Oh well. It's an optional effect anyway.

Guilty Kiss - Shadow Gate To Love (PolariS Remix)

I tried my best to match the melancholic feel of the first parts of the song. The first lines of Yoshiko in the original song emphasized how heavy the song feels, which fits well with the whole song falling under the rock genre. Honestly, Guilty Kiss is like a sub-unit to balance the frilly fluffy innocent natures of AZALEA and CYaRon!, and that's what I like about them and their songs. It is an example that proves that not all mainstream idol songs sound the same, although I still agree to that argument to some extent. 

I honestly don't know what genre this remix falls under. It's leaning more into future bass, but I'm not sure if I can label this under the genre. I don't mind it though, since it would be pretty boring if the remix would sound similar to a lot of songs out there.

Making this remix took me a long while to make because I had a hard time to come up with a remix that has parts with different keys, namely c# minor and d# minor.  I also had a pretty hard time coming up with a drop that would to the fantastic singing some justice. At first, I came up with a drumstep drop but then I slowly shifted back to trap and future bass. It seems that I'm most comfortable with these genres than any other else, as I have little experience over the heavier ones like dubstep, drum and bass, and drumstep.

Kowareyasuki never fails to get me to sing along even while working on the remix.
