Morning Musume – Kimagure Princess Remix

Album: 10 My Me (2010)

Morning Musume’s 41st single was something of a challenge. First off  the original is really quite a whacked out song production wise.  It sounds a lot like an Eastern European folk song mixed with ultra fast Euro dance influenced J-Pop. Once you get past that it’s actually a pretty good song.

For my remix I did what I always do, and that’s lay down some beat see what develops. The result being a track that borrows a little bit from Electro, Euro-Haus and Trance & mashes everything into one cohesive mix.

That sounds strange but it works quite well when everything is in moderation.  Below is the completed song, any comments appreciated.

Thanks much.

    you are awesome sir…
    the vocals could have been slowed down a tad bit more… or this could have suited a happy hardcore remix… I would have ramped up the beats a little more.. but yours sounds quite dream like… :D

    ..
    listening more… i find that Euro beat may suit the song better!? but what do I know.. D:

      Thanks much, glad you liked the mix. Although it would be cool to go all Happy Hardcore I’m not exactly the best at composing that genre of music.

      I agree that Euro Beat would also suit this track. I didn’t go full Euro since I would probably do the genre an injustice if I attempted it, hence the combining of other genres I’m more familiar with. =)

      Again, thanks for listening.
