In the 4th remix, Tim Hecker, a genius from Canada's world-class electronic music world, appeared.
The original Chitose's vocals flow in response to the original effect of the innovative shamisen. The appearance of a sima song in which various electro sounds that gradually appear can be freely changed.
Electronic sounds and disturbing noises that echo from the deep ground, and the singing voice heard between them, are swallowed in a storm of raging sounds as the song progresses. Eventually, a completely different world will appear before us through sound. A magnificent soundscape constructed from simauta. It's a five-minute experience as if you were watching a short movie.

In the first installment, "Asahana-bushi," which was designed by Shintaro Sakamoto (ex-Yurayura Empire), attracted much attention, but this time around, a surprising artist is working on a remix.
He is a dope beat maker based in Ras G, LA, who has jumped through the boundaries of genres such as black music, dub, and jazz, and the song he chose as the remixer for the Amami Shima song is "Kubunu-bushi."
It was a remix that spreads the mysterious world of music in which the spiritual part of the original song was greatly featured.
No beats are used, and experimental backtracks, in which noise and gradually added electronic sounds overlap, are mixed with the original Chitose's spiritual singing, communicating with the universe while on the ground. The song has the illusion of being played.
In addition, the obituary of Ras G was reported the day before the delivery date of this song, "Kubanu Leaf Festival REMIXED BY Ras G". It's a pity that he's still a young and talented man, but the music he leaves will continue to resonate with many fans.

Originally Chitose's own origin, Amami Oshima's "Sima Uta" new album "Gen Uta ~ Amami Shima Uta Collection ~" released in November 2018, is remixed by up-and-coming artists The delivery release has been decided. The first song is the song that graces the opening of the album, and is a popular song sima song "Asahanabushi" that everyone in Amami knows about in the drama "Saigo Don" Amami Oshima. Moto Chitose, along with Kosuke Naka, played an orthodox and traditional singing song with two shamisen singers, but Shintaro Sakamoto was in charge of the remix here. A former talented vocalist/guitarist of the Yurayura empire, currently a solo talent.

After the dissolution of the Yurayura empire, which was the far north of psychedelic and experimental alternative rock, turned his back on the rock's uniform collective enthusiasm, ordinary stereotypes, and lyrical sympathetic lyrics. Sakamoto, who is pursuing an approaching sense and ideology and striving for his own uniqueness, has released three solo albums to date. Both of them are exciting works that throw a stone in the flow of contemporary pop music, and the live that resumed for a long time in 3 with a new band formation since the dissolution of the fluctuation was highly evaluated.

The "Asahana-bushi" remix this time is also full of Sakamoto-like sounds. Original Chitose's beautiful and organic original version, leaving only original Chitose and Kosuke Naka's vocals, sometimes even boldly applying the effect, a simple rhythm of the rhythm machine and bass, a dream of rap steel The music is composed of arrangements filled with only the refrain. It's a tropical, moody, psychedelic sound that is similar to Sakamoto's recent works, and it has a completely unique sound with an empty look. It has a cool and flat tone from start to finish, no exaggerated excitement, no dramatic development, and without losing the energy-filled positivity of the original song's life, it will be the most advanced pop expression in 2019. There is nothing but a hat on his arms. Even though the original song is an orthodox and traditional piece, it makes sense to do such a bold and experimental remix, and by showing a completely different view, the beauty of the original version is even more striking. The encounter between the two, which until now had almost no contact, became so exciting and fruitful.
