I'll be back in Japan next month and may look at Tsutaya. <br /><br />Masters at Work did do a Misia remix of her "Melody" track in 2000. There's even a clear vinyl version.<br /><br />https://www.discogs.com/Misia-Melody-Masters-At-Work-Remix/master/1041087<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFNBt2A8SQI<br /><br />I may track that one down on vinyl just for the novelty.<br />Gen Kanaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01981551684895504503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-52946670343408152992016-11-21T11:07:04.154-05:002016-11-21T11:07:04.154-05:00Hello, Gen.
I just listened to "Sunshine Aft...Hello, Gen.<br /><br />I just listened to "Sunshine After The Rain" and that added percussion from the intro sounds like the work of one of the fellows who provided remixes for Misia back around the same time. I definitely enjoy this song and would like to hear the original as well since I miss some of the cool soul that was coming out of Japan in the early 2000s.<br /><br />Not sure what Monday is up to these days. Is she doing more jazz?J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-36056797915627030622016-11-20T22:26:38.973-05:002016-11-20T22:26:38.973-05:00I was a big Monday Michiru fan back in the day. I ...I was a big Monday Michiru fan back in the day. I got into her music via the Masters At Work remix of "Sunshine After the Rain"<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6B4nSo6H0c<br /><br />I went on to pick up just about everything she produced until the mid 2000s. She then went to a platform called ArtistShare, which I guess is a crowdfunding platform? I didn't really understand that platform and wrote about it critically and she contacted me on email asking for feedback on the platform. It looks like she is still using ArtistShare (it is still on her website) but I just don't think it has helped her. Maybe it focuses her fanbase but I was just turned off by it at the time and lost interest. I haven't followed her career since then- she wanted to move away from the dance music influence and that's where I started, so I think in the end I drifted away.Gen Kanaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01981551684895504503noreply@blogger.com
