^ for official use, probably.

Excuse me, but that's nothing but a matter of personal taste. Just because he did a couple of awful remixes for Ayumi (appears, Startin') doesn't mean the rest of his works are equally bad...in fact they don't do any justice to the rest of his other works. He was part of "ravex" along with Taku Takahashi (m-flo) and Tomoyuki Tanaka (Fantastic Plastic Machine). Also his albums "The One" and "SO2" are one of the best electro albums to come out of Japan, and his remix catalog is full of well-crafted works. He also produced Namie Amuro's "SHAKE IT", "ROCK YOU" and "WHAT A FEELING".

These are a few of my favorite remixes made by him:

• Anna Tsuchiya - Ah Ah (Shinichi Osawa Remix)

• Digitalism - Pogo (Shinichi Osawa Remix)

• Rubies - Stand In A Line (Shinichi Osawa Remix)

• Main Street Electrical Parade (Disneyland)

He also had some nice work with Nobuchika Eri. I don't really like his remixes with Ayu at all though... maybe it'd be different if he were arranging/composing?

To be fair, everything you just listed is also personal taste.

But! I will say I gave Anna tsuchiya and the disnlandy mix's a hear over and I enjoyed those much more than the ayumi remix for you and me...
I'll have to find the others he did... I remember not liking the Startin one (but that song is just... well... yeah. lol)

I do agree with you ...

The two remixes

I think people need to remember that any remixer can make bad remixes. For example, Armand Van Helden has done a very bad remix for INSPIRE. I got annoyed by ayu screaming GUCCI GUCCI GUCCI, GUCCI GUCCI GUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCi

However, he has done good remix for other ayu songs.

You're lucky if "gucci" is what you heard :tired

So these turned out to be interesting but nothing really special. I WANT ayu-mi-x 8 TRANCE AND HOUSE OMGGGGGG AVEX NAOOOOOOOO

Time for us, as ayu fans, send message to ayu on twitter and beg for ayu-mi-x 8.

But will they listen again? D:

I think you need to wait like, 2 or 3 years for a new ayu-mi-x :)

she needs to do another cool set again...
hopefully she will pull out all the stops for her 15 anny

I believe that if 100 fans write the similar message regarding ayu-mi-x 8 for her 15th year, they will look and discuss about it.

If I beg for something, it will be a SINGLE.

^yes :yes

From 22/9 the instrumental of both remixes will be also be up to download.

This! Celebrate 15th anniversary with ayumix is worst idea ever

Ayu-mi-x is only ONE way to celebrate 15th anniversary. A BEST 3 perhaps will be another one way to celebrate 15th anniversary, and highly possible new materials. This assumption is based on what ayu has done in the past anniversary and 30th single celebration.

^ Meh. Enough with the A BESTs, Ayu! New material or remixes!
