Commentary

I received an offer for the remix from the A&R director of Original Love (Mr.Takao Tajima) via my ex-label. The band was one of the few Japanese artists I would enjoy listening to in my school days, so it was a great honor to be asked to remix his music.

As for the arrangement, I followed a “Swamp Rock meets Gospel music” approach which I had already taken in Captain Funk’s “Dancing in the Street.” What is funny enough is, the title should have been “Like a Mojo,” but it seems to have turned to “Like a Moja” somewhere in the Chinese whispers between the client and me.
