After a first listen my fav remixes are:
- STRIP
- Put your hands up!!!
- again (Surprisingly I really liked a ballad remix wow)
- Summer Time
- SHUTOUT

I'm on the fence about Merry-go-round lol There's something bittersweet about it? idk I might need to listen to it again later

Also, so nice they made that performance video! Nice way to promote both the tour and the album release.

But overall it's an okay remix album for me, some remixes are really simple, almost as if just the instrumental was changed, and some like DO ME sound a bit... dated? lol Too much dubstep in some moments. I guess these two things made most of the remixes not 'click' to me.

I wish she'd do it like ayu someday and release remix albums with distinct styles... There's too much house and dubstep in most of hers, and there could be room for different stuff, it could spice things up a bit.

On my first listen and woooooooow, Merry Go Round sounds like a total different song!
(like a good remix actually should imo)
Making it sounding so bittersweet gives the lyrics a real new perspective.
My favourite so far!
Eh Yo, STRIP, GET NAKED are also nice, the whole first half till again actually.
And I'd really like that k, -shadw remix- if not for that annoying siren sound being so prominent...
Then we have SHUTOUT, Summer Time and DO ME being either much too similar to the originals or not being good - of course they'd promote with one I dislike, lol.
OMG is a nice one again, fitting to Merry Go Round in style.
From the two GOLDFINGERs I prefer the one in the first part.
The 2nd k, remix sounds like an extended version,very fitting.
So, apart from that weaker part in the 2nd half, not bad, absolutely not bad!
Compared to DH 8 and 9, where I only love single remixes, I can see me listening to this one for the most part.
DH 7 remains my favourite.

STRIP remix sound SO GOOD in FULL !! the only complaint is they ignore the best part "look, don't touch!", damn ...

my fav OMG from reCORD still sound so bad in reMIX, 10 second previews or full make no diff. the original so good esp when they play with the "stop!", the remix ver so boring ...

I like some of the remixes, but my overall feel for re(MIX) is



I agree with Gustavo, she needs to mix a little bit more the styles because her remixes are getting too similar.

Merry Go Round (Toki Remix) is actually pretty cool, it's quite dark for such a spring kind of song. Both k, remixes are interesting, specially KAZBONGO with the less layers of vocals. Dubstep was cute back in 2012, but now it sounds a little dated.

I haven't got a chance to listen to both GOLDFINGER remixes tho. I probably won't listen those as much, since they are not available on Spotify here. The same thing happens with Rich & Famous.

My blu-rays just arrived from Amazon!

I must admit though, as excited as I am to have them, I am eternally bummed out that the special editions were DVD only. Like I guess I could double dip to have the packaging I want but that is a colossal waste of money so instead I’ll just keep whining about it lol

Saw Japanese fans posting about it and checked myself.
The HMV/Loppi edition is indeed sold out, at least online:

The FC edition on the other hand is still available.

^ That's great! Wonder if she'll be able to break any records if she lands these releases on #2, #3 and #4 in the weekly charts!

Same. I'm hoping that someone will kindly scan the photobook somewhere as I'd love to see it. I've been uhming and ahhing the past two days on what editions to buy, but ultimately I really want the quality of the blurays.

That mint green coat look from BUT is probably one of her most iconic PV looks. Daaaamn, BUT/Aishou was such an amazing release.

Quite impressive that the special editions of re(LIVE) are not falling out of the top 20, considering its price and mu-mo having ship-out-dates and not doing it every day.
