    “We’re happy to have started 2022 with such a fast-paced song. The original song itself was pretty fast, but this more dense sound is something that only DJ VIVID can provide.

    Comment from Amanda Yang

    Everyday is about getting caught off guard and falling in love with someone. Being vulnerable is hard. So, I wanted to capture the moments when you realized that you were no longer just “casual” with someone. The moments that showed it grew into something bigger. Everyday is about finally letting your guard down and being open to loving someone without restrictions.’     

    Comment from AmPm

    ‘Beginning in 2021, we’re not just releasing artist collaborations like we were before--we’re releasing pure dance tracks. Everyday is a great combo of AmPm’s past trends and this year’s dance music trend. It’s a simple and easy to understand summer tune, so we hope people can just enjoy the heat while vibing to this track. Even though there are still tons of restrictions in place this summer, we hope turning this song up a little louder will help raise everyone’s spirits.’

    Message from Dipha Barus 

    "It's truly an honour, and I'm overjoyed, being requested to remix AmPm's On The Black and White. I'm grateful, since I've been in contact with them ever since we performed on the same stage together in 2017. It's been a really fun experience getting stuck in with this remix. I can say with confidence that I've made the best thing I possibly could. I pray that my brothers are satisfied with the results, and I hope in the near future I can perform together with them again once we're done with this!"  

    Message from AmPm

    "We've been in touch with Dipha ever since we performed together at SPOTIFY ON STAGE in Indonesia in 2017. He's unique, and we can feel his identity as an Indonesian artist on many of his songs. He's someone we have great respect for. We've longed to work on a project with him. We've thought about having numerous different people remix our songs before, but for our first remix there's no one else but him. It's our first time experiencing our music being reborn by someone else's hands, and it's more than we could have hoped for. We're so excited, and we look forward to performing with him again."
  • TV Anime Fruits Basket Opening Theme ‘Chime’ Gets Remixed by AmPm

AmPm have produced music for a whole range of Japanese artists such as V6  and Ken Hirai, and have remixed for the likes of Afrojack and Nicky Romero outside of Japan.   Chime is used as the second opening theme for the first season of the 2019 TV anime adaptation of Fruits Basket. The song is hugely popular within anime community both inside and outside Japan. Check out the colourful music video for the remix below which is inspired by the fairy tale The Ugly Duckling.   Ai Otsuka - "Chime (AmPm Remix)" Music Video
     

    AmPm | Comment

    "We've had the chance to remix a lot of different songs, but this one was the hardest to remix. The original track is fast-paced, and Otsuka's voice is persistent. We went through a lot of trial and error which is unusual for us. We wondered things like, 'Can we tamper with this part' and 'Have we finished?' The original song was written as the second opening theme for season one of the Fruits Basket anime, but this remix feels more like and ending theme. If the original is the chime to start the day, then the remix is the one to signal the end of it. But we want people to think of it more as an ending that connects to tomorrow, rather than a cut off. We also think that although it's the same song, you can take the lyrics differently between both versions, so we hope that makes the existence of a remix more fun for people so they can listen and compare!"
