This unmissable remix is the first part of an exciting project. A selection of high-profile artists will reinterpret original audio recordings from the soundtrack to the beloved \u2018Lupin\u2019 anime series. The music was originally recorded from 2015 to 2019 by Yuji Ohno, composer on the \u2018Lupin\u2019 series since the 1970s.<\/p>\n<p>Then on October 21, AmPm will follow up with an original song, \u2018hurt you.\u2019 This composition features guest vocalists Michael Kaneko and Nao Kawamura, who have lent their voices to hit AmPm tracks in the past \u2013 with a combined 47 million plays on Spotify. This will be their first time to sing together on the same AmPm track. \u2018hurt you\u2019 is a danceable mid-tempo cut whose lyrics tell the story of a desperate, lovelorn man.<\/p>\n<p>AmPm debuted in March 2017 with the instant hit track \u2018Best Part Of Us feat. Michael Kaneko\u2019 has since racked up some 35 million plays on Spotify, bringing this fast-rising Japanese masked duo to fans around the world. Their three releases this month attest to the duo\u2019s impressive diversity of styles, as they master a range of genres and bolster a global reputation as producers, remixers and artists.<\/p>\n<p><u>Release information<\/u><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-77097 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/selective-hearing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Chime_Remix_Jacket-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Chime Remix Jacket\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Chime (AmPm Remix)\u2019<\/strong><br \/>\nOut now (released October 7, 2020)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Links to \u2018Chime (AmPm Remix)\u2019 on digital stores and streaming services<\/strong>:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/asab.lnk.to\/aio_chime\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/asab.lnk.to\/aio_chime<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-77146 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/selective-hearing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/L3JAM_AmPm-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"[L3JAM]_AmPm\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018THEME FROM LUPIN \u2162 2019 &#8211; LUPIN THE THIRD JAM Remixed by AmPm\u2019<\/strong><br \/>\nReleased October 14, 2020<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-77145 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/selective-hearing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/AmPm-hurt-you_cover-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"AmPm hurt you_cover\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018hurt you feat.
