i dont know... when it says remix, to me, that means anything that is different from the original mix... hence the 're'-mix.
lol.
personally I dont think an artist can cover themselves because they already did the song, they are just doing a different version of it, which makes it a remix, lol...
but this is just me. LOL

From wikipedia:

In popular music, a cover version or cover song, or simply cover, is a new performance or recording of a contemporary or previously recorded, commercially released song or popular song.

By that definition, a self-cover seems like the right term to use.

thats nice. Anyone can look up a wiki article.

from the same article:

The term "cover" goes back decades when cover version originally described a rival version of a tune recorded to compete with the recently released (original) version.

I highly doubt they mean the same person.

never once dose the article mention self covers. So no... it does not help for that definition.

Lol, of course anyone can but I'm the one who did it.

No need to be like that. I don't see why the term "self-cover" is a big deal. Especially when Ayu's 10th anniversary versions weren't really "remixed" (for example, see Christina's 'Genie 2.0'). They just were beefed up a bit, but over-all it was the same song with a louder arrangement.

lol, i wasnt trying to be like anything... i was just pointing out (not to nicely, sorry) that anyone can look up a wiki article... I did and it just seems like from that definition that it doesnt need to be stated that covers are by different people.

and its not a big deal, I was just saying that I would call it a remix. and the Christina example is kind perfect to see that its not a cover because they are calling it something else... which kinda makes it a remix because they changed it... when it comes to remixes it doesnt matter how much they change it just matters if its different or not...

but this is just me.
It seems a ton of people think it can be called self covers, whateves... I just call them remixes.

The reason I used Christina's as an example was because hers WAS changed dramatically and remixed. So it would not be acceptable to call that a self-cover. I guess I would just call Ayu's re-records. Lol.
