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)

a.c.d duty

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.

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 guys it's me, ya boi Polaris! Sorry for disappearing for a couple of months. I took time off making music for a while, but I'm back! And this time I made something different. I took some time off from making remixes and went with making an instrumental for "Neo-Aspect" by Roselia! The main reasons I made this are because I'm so obsessed with the song that I wanted to learn how to play the song on guitar and because I want cover artists to make covers of the song since there's no official off-vocal version of Neo-Aspect.

All the instruments are either recorded or programmed by me. I used Addictive Drums 2 for the drums, Sytrus for the bass guitar and synth pad, Directwave for the string section, and FL Keys for the piano. I recorded both the rhythm guitar and lead guitar because it's near impossible to replace those instruments with synths.
