Sawai Miku - Colorful -Asterisk Remix-

Bandcamp

Guilty Kiss - Strawberry Trapper (Slax Remix)

Shelter is the perfect song for walking and crying at the same time.

I admit that I only knew of Porter and Madeon's "Shelter" through the animated music video, but it wasn't the first time I've heard of them. I've been a mild follower of both Madeon and Porter Robinson for almost a year now, and I've always wanted to remix their songs. I might go and do a remix of a song in Madeon's Adventure sometime soon.

Porter Robinson & Madeon - Shelter (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)

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.

Guilty Kiss - Kowareyasuki (PolariS Remix)

YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/347y_zXb22c

I love this song so much that I don't have enough words to describe how I feel about it. The emotions that emanate from the lyrics were intensified by the feelings of sincerity from CYaRon!'s singing. The instrumentation was top-notch as well. The strings, guitars, piano, and the drums all give off the emotion of longing and regret that the whole song embodies. The additional effects, like the filtered claps and the cicadas, emphasize the summer night feeling upon listening to the song. I believe that the setting of the song takes place after the Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM PV, and that's what makes the song more emotional.

The original song 夜空はなんでも知ってるの？ is the first Aqours song that I want to make a remix of out of all the songs I've done so far. However, I can't manage to make a clean version of the vocals. I asked for advice from other people for other ways on how to get clean vocals, and there it was. I got to make a clean enough version of the vocals to work with.

I listened to a remix of the same song by Nathaniel Keith, and I say I'm impressed by how he made a future bass remix. Although I felt that the remix didn't do the emotions of the song any justice. It's why I tried to make a remix that both captures the emotions of the original song and expresses my style of songs.

MY Mai TONIGHT has a fantastic blend of eastern and western instruments and melodies. When I first listened to it, I knew right away that I want to do my take on a remix of it. I tried to incorporate the koto instruments into the drop, so I ultimately came up with a trap remix. However, it's not the chill trap kind, but it's more like one of those high-tension ones but not those heavy ones with screeching leads since I want the koto to stay in my remix.

Working on music is much quicker when I have nothing else to do. I've worked for the remix for a total of 18 hours and 30 minutes in the span of 9 days, the fastest I've done since my Torikoriko PLEASE!! remix. It might be because I had the free time and the inspiration to work quickly.

I've also tried to mix and master my remix traditionally in such a way that mixing and mastering are separate processes. Honestly, doing so was more tedious than my way of mixing and mastering, but it resulted to much better-sounding results, so I think I'll stick to the tradition.

Finally a (legit) BanG Dream! remix that isn't hardcore or eurobeat!

What got me to love Roselia is their song "LOUDER" since everything there was amazingly catchy. I would never get tired of that song. I actually use that for my alarm when I need to wake up early because it always hypes me up. When Re:birth day came out in the game, blew me away. The usual rock-type drums during the verses and hooks sounded punchy and powerful, and it was fine all on its own. When the drums in the chorus shifted the song to a different gear, from a fast-tempo rhythm to a downbeat one, I was in tears.

I've had a much harder time mixing this remix out of all the remixes I've made so far. There's just a lot going on, especially in the drum and bass part. I need to refine my skills if I had a hard time mixing fast -paced drums.

Hey everyone! I'm back with a remix of a song that you all wanted me to work with. I fell in love with "in this unstable world" the moment I listened to it in the PV. It was my type of song, so I got working to its remix as soon as I got it. But I wasn't able to get the single early, so I had to settle with working in my head.

I'm sorry for being away for two months. It's bad enough already that I release one song a month. I was forced to take a break from music for a while. Work started to eat up more of my time and effort than what I imagined, so I left this remix project untouched for three weeks.

The original song had me speechless when I finally got to listen to the full song. It's so energetic, punchy, dark, and tense that I had gone to set this song on loop on my phone for a few days to take the awesomeness all in. Aika's vocal quality is my favorite part of the song. The tone, the expression, the vocal range, and the way she made the song entirely kickin' easily made "in this unstable world" one of my favorite songs in the whole Aqours discography.

Anyway, here it is! I did all that I could to make the little demon's dark and dramatic song even darker by using creepy bell synths, deep moving basslines, epic booms, harsh-sounding lead synths and dubstep-like bass. The lead in the drop/chorus took the most time to do because I made so many changes. At the back of my head, it didn't sound good enough. Listening to similar tracks got me to what I wanted, but I still feel that it's not quite there yet.

Similar to the Kowareyasuki remix, I'm not confident with this remix. I'm probably not used to going too heavy on my tracks, because I think I'm not doing enough to match the industry standards. If this remix is gonna haunt me constantly, I'm gonna make another remix of "in this unstable world'.

I know I've said more than once that I'll be making a WATER BLUE NEW WORLD remix. But the problem is, I couldn't think of any good ideas for what to start with. I always end up scrapping the ideas I make because I didn't like them. So I think I'll leave that project under the bed for now.

Hey guys! Here's my remix on 1000 Crying Skies (1000回潤んだ空) by Poppin' Party. I've read in the YouTube comments many months ago that I should make a drum and bass remix of a Love Live! song. I settled with a BanG Dream! song instead because I wanted to make one in that franchise (which I think is much more forgiving towards copyright than LL! but don't tell them that) since I only have one remix from it so far.

1000 Crying Skies is the first song that I liked from Poppin' Party. The first time I got to listen to it was in the game BanG Dream! Girls Band Party. Actually, I learned about most of their songs from the game when I started playing over a year ago. The song was so good that I ended up picking that song in multi-lives for a week! 

This my first time making a drum and bass track, and here's my take on the genre! I'm not yet confident in making dubstep-like bass, so I made a melodic kind of DnB but not liquid DnB. Think of the band Pendulum, but all the members are Japanese and cute.

Making the remix took more of my effort than usual. Unlike trap songs, drum and bass songs have a lot of conflicting elements because the drums are so lively. It felt like producing a rock song, but the drums are louder and heavier, and the bass needed to stand out a little. And like a rock song, I recorded myself play the electric guitar for the parts 0:51-1:04 and 3:09-3:23! If I had an audio interface, I would record more guitar parts for my remixes. Maybe with the help from you guys, having the money to afford one will be sooner than I expect!

Anyway, next on my list of songs to remix are not yet certain. I might either work on P.S. no Mukougawa, Yume de Yozora wo Tereshitai, an original banger (probably trap, future bass, house, or chillhop), or something else. There's a lot of songs that I can remix, including the ones that you guys suggest in the comments, but I don't have any idea on how to go about in doing them. No wonder I upload only a few times a month, right?

Hi guys! Apologies for releasing only one song for July. I took a week-long hiatus from making music because of some personal stuff. I also got sick at the time, so my hiatus was extended. It took a hard time for me to get back in the swing of things because of those personal stuff I mentioned. 

Anyway, here's my latest AZALEA remix! Ever since their first single, I was always drawn to their songs whenever they release one. Because of that, I always end up wanting to make AZALEA remixes! The only song from them I haven't remixed is LONELY TUNING. I'll get to that later on, don't worry.

"Sotsugyou desu ne" sounds like an 80s song that ended up in 2018, and I love every bit of it! I admit that I wasn't born yet to experience 80s music, but I sure would like to. This song says a whole lot, from its lyrics to the choice of chord progressions and melodies. The third years, Kanan, Dia, and Mari, are about to graduate. They will be walking on different paths leading to different opportunities to move forward. For the rest of Aqours, they will have to accept what is inevitable. The promise of seeing each other again is a sweet promise, but they will have to endure the bitterness.

Its lyrics. That's what I love about the song. I wanted to make a dramatic and edgy remix to make the whole thing sound perfect, so I made a remix inspired by the style of Illenium! I did what I can to put both my style and Illenium's style into the remix. I hope I made something good!

All the guitar parts that you've heard in the remix are all made by me! I got an audio interface earlier this month, which enabled me to record my electric guitar in high-quality. So when I got it, I went overboard with recorded to my heart's content! It's definitely gonna be part of my style from now on.

Hello dear reader! I hope you enjoyed my Hey-day Capriccio remix, which is the third BanG Dream! remix I made so far. I'm planning on making one remix for each of the five bands, but sadly, it won't happen for a pretty long time. I need to shuffle between different series so that I won't look like I've abandoned one for the other. I still love the entirety of Love Live! and Love Live! Sunshine!! as they are what gave me the push to making these remixes in the first place.

This Afterglow remix was supposed to be my Halloween 2018 special. Sadly, I wasn't able to work on it as much as I expected, which is why I wasn't able to make it.

I often receive requests on remixing WHITE FIRST LOVE or WATER BLUE NEW WORLD. I know that they are good songs and I like them, but I would've made remixes on them by now if I had ideas on what they'll be. I'd love some suggestions though.

Anyway, let me know if you like the musical style in this remix! If you don't, still let me know so I can improve!

I'm immensely grateful to my patrons! They are a huge part in helping me with my pursuit to better music.

What's up fellow gamers? The mashup of IM@S CG: SS Story Menu Theme and Hidamari Rhodonite I made last month doesn't count as a remix alright? It's just something I made when I got stuck in making the remix.

Anyway, Hidamari Rhodonite is a very special remix to me because to me, it's a song for both Lisa Imai and Yurika Endo (Lisa's VA/seiyuu). One reason why it took so long for me to make this remix is because I couldn't work on it for hours straight without getting too emotional. As a pretty old fan of BanG Dream!, I'm too attached to the songs, story, characters, and the seiyuus behind them. If you listen carefully to the ending, I made something to help recognize how much Yurika and all the other seiyuus have done to the community. 

Thank you, Yurishii!
(I know I'm almost a year late, but better late than never, right?)
