[@frenzyking529]

Great music! Adol my bride!

[@LeMusicEnjoyer9319]

Amazing arrange, love the detailed bass pretty close to the original. Aoki Katsumata more like Peak Katsumata!!!

[@AokiKatsumata]

Glad you noticed the bass, it was the most challenging, yet most rewarding part of the arrange!

[@YourVinished]

oh wow!

[@FireFallsMusic]

Super Arranger indeed

[@ShowYouCan]

*chefs kiss* You cranking these out like no problem. The additions like the guitar flourishes in the 2nd half are always great to hear. Wasn’t expecting the ending to end like that but I like it 😊.

[@AokiKatsumata]

Ending this track was troublesome to be honest, tried a bunch of things that didn't work, and this is still not the most ideal lol

[@ShowYouCan]

With the way the original looped, I can understand how it may be difficult to make an ending out of it. I think it was a nice surprise but I can see you wanting to make it as clean as possible. Still amazing all the way through 👏.

Super soul.

[@pedrozanon7245]

a suggestion to the end i would give would be, repeat the intro, extend the last note of the last phrase a little bit and finish on the root. Great remix as always, your aggressive guitar gives a more distinct energy to this version.

[@AokiKatsumata]

That is specifically the kind of boring ending I wanted to avoid for this track, where the fusion influence is foremost among Koguchi rock tracks. There's also me not wanting to repeat the intro a third time in any capacity, and also not wanting to make the track any longer than it is now

[@pedrozanon7245]

@@AokiKatsumata Thats fair. Yes, it is a more standard ending you could say, but rounds up less abrupt on the other hand. A matter of preference i guess. If Jindo makes a SAV, i can imagine going for a more boring ending like this haha, he always bring it back in the end.

[@AokiKatsumata]

@@pedrozanon7245 Actually, I heard from Jindo firsthand that he likes to make proper endings and like it when they are a bit bombastic! Even if, that's true, he often ends on the root note

[@Omniracle]

If Through the North Wind is so good, why isn't there a Through the South Wind?

[@AokiKatsumata]

There is, and the description makes it clear that it's far from as enjoyable it should be

[@Omniracle]

​@@AokiKatsumataDamn I thought I made a clever joke.

[@AokiKatsumata]

@@Omniracle It was, I just beat you to it 😎

[@MaskedKingDavid]

Because Through the East Wind is coming first.
