Comment from Shunsaku Okuda (Sound Producer)
Congratulations, djfourbeat! We selected “LONELY IN GORGEOUS -fourbeat Remix-” as the Grand Prix winner. It creates a distinct worldview separate from the original, with excellent taste in sound selection, superb vocal editing, and everything—the rhythm changes, chopping technique, placement and use of harmonies, hook placement, bassline, overall song structure, and sense of scale—is finished incredibly cool. This favorite remix of mine is set for release on September 5th! I believe many people will love it too. Thank you so much for this amazing remix, packed with new charm!
