Shame there isn't an instrumental version of Gackt's SEASON we can use with the acapella of Ayu's original

Agreed - I don't know why go through all the trouble of making + sharing a remix to only post snippets played through a potato.

OH YES, that would be perfection.

Oh i am perfectly aware of that! What i'm saying is that everyone goes for those (edm, trance, hause or whatever they are) cuz that's the main idea of "remixes" it seams. I wish people would get out of that box more often and explore different genres cuz electronic stuff is what everyone goes for by default doesn't matter the SUBgenre of it, it's still electronic and sounds alike even if the nuances are different.

I understand what you're saying — people tend to default that remix = edm or dance.

Remixes such as the HAL remix of Ever Free, Fly High or Boys & Girls and the sleeperspaceborn From Your Letter remixes are my amongst my favourite because they totally reimagine the songs as original new music.

^^ Oh, now I understand your point much better. I agree that sometimes the use of the most common genres, such as House, Trance, etc., can be somewhat typical. It is for the same reason that the most unusual remixes are my favorites, and I agree with ExodusUK. The best are HAL remixes for songs like Two of us, Daybreak or End roll. They can create quite interesting ballad arrangements or electronic versions, in addition to making amazing versions of already danceable songs, such as Fly high.

That's my issue with the majority of remixes.

I love love LOVE this

[EndOfTheWorld]

DJ Amaya is working hard for this campaign it seems.
This one says Trance but I don't hear much difference.

I like this electro version of BLUE BIRD. I would like to see more electro and ambient remixes for Ayu. As much as I lovee trance music.

I like this JEWEL one, so unexpected, yet very good!

[Ashen Twilight]

Wow that JEWEL remix is amazing!!!! This is definitely giving me all the nostalgia of AHS back in the day. Good times.

Finally some modern day uplifting trance. I always said her next trance remix albums needs more work from DJs who are known for this style. It’s my favorite.

[Gustavopc]

I feel kinda sad I'm listening to all these amazing remixes and they're not counting for last.fm scrobbles lol

This is amazing. I hope people create more remixes from the A Song for xx era.

Overall, this seems like a great contest. It's nice to see Ayu really engaging with her fandom atm with tiktok, and now this contest.

[maxikot]

So many cool creations! I love this Blue Bird!
