CHI-CHI - Don't Play Around (Areia Remix)

I'm fed up with all the teasers and stuff so I've decided to work straight on a brand new one day project. I was supposed to go to school this morning so I got up at 8, got ready then listened to some music. So why watching CHI CHI's music video, the girls told me "Oppa~~~ please remix us". I'm too weak when it comes to Korean girls calling me "oppa" so I skipped school and got down to work. After 12 hours of absolutely non-stop work here we've got the result.

Musically the track is pretty simple. I really love the detuned lead and the bass reverbs (as you already know) but other than that there were not many stuff I wanted to do as the track sounded decent with the few sounds I've added so if it works why break it?

I took video editing to the extremes in order to project the strong feeling I want to. This is a first for my remixes release at least to that extent. The whole video is completely messed up in order to tell the story the way I want it too. Like it or not that's now my complete product and I personally like it a lot.

Other than being me that I translated this song (usually I fetch the subs from somewhere to save time), the next big thing is of course the lyrical translation highlighting. Every English word in the translation highlights exactly the moment the corresponding Korean word is sung. This allows you to follow the original Korean song's dynamics and feel it like a Korean would and as it is intended to be experienced anyway. I've done this first time 8 years ago on some of my Japanese music video subtitling releases. It takes huge work and I can't guarantee I will do this for all my future works. My remix of "Rania's Dr. Feel Good" will have it though (check my facebook fanpage for preview).

This is the first time I'm giving you a complete experience using all my skills. From music production to music video re-directing/editing to use of my Korean language skills. I hope you enjoy the whole pack.

Please make sure you're listening this at 720p or 1080p for the audio quality to be good too. I know I'll get some dislikes from my few usual antis but for the rest ones that appreciate this work (or my picture of wearing a Korean schoolboy uniform at the beggining of the video kk) please don't forget to click the LIKE button under the video! Thank you for your support :)

I was rewatching Secret Garden and I got here.
It was worthy.

Areia, you have surpassed what we ask of you! Not only have you created a pleasing remix, but also an enjoyable video when compared to the original. The idea of the highlighted lyrics was pretty fun to watch and read at the same time; your effortsand hard work really show through this video Thank you so much~ <3

i liked this song from the beginning but you made it even better. i also liked how you highlighted the english subs. now i really get the feeling how korean is spoken in teams of word order :)

[DigitalWorldy]

@areiacreations love ALL your remixes *o* and the korean schoolboy uniform suits you very good, you're pretty in it !

[UnknownYoo]

This is so great. I *really* like how you did the subs. I always wished people would do it like this, but I know it's really hard so I don't expect it. This was a wonderful treat though. :D

And you look great in your uniform :3

[untilyunsureho]

[ThePyromaster]

I keep coming back to watch this again and again... so that must mean I like it! lol xD

I'm glad that someone finally did a remix of this song. I've been in love with the song ever since it was released. Doesn't seem like many other people like it, though. :(

[stefanemiliohampel]

@areiacreations I really like how you did the subs. It makes it easier for me to understand Korean, which I'm studying. And sweet ass remix, yo.
