I was at the LV show too, and was having a similar conversation with my friend about your set, both of us enjoyed it, but we felt more people would of been more into it if you'd of used some of her songs in your mixes.

but. yeah. we liked what we heard. :P

Hey DJ Rizzo or anyone else out there that can help out,

I'm looking for a complete mix made by Rizzo(preferably).. Hopefully with most of the current/updated r&b songs.. Is there anywhere I can look to get a complete compilation of about.. 5 hours worth?

P.S. I already downloaded the mix tape that Rizzo posted a few pages ago

You were awesome at the Vegas Show! I just wished the floor wasn't so packed so I could have broke out my sick moves, like the "White Tornado"

If you are ever in a club in the Dallas area I am there!

Hi Mike!

I was at the New York show.
I really loved your remixes!
I would really love to see both you and Utada in New York again!

Hmm, idea's for songs... well, more Utada remixes would be awesome. ~

Oh yeah, thanks, M-Flo is Japanese, it's just Verbal who's Korean, my mistake.

Yeah Mike, M-Flo are great, the work they produce is fantastic, their Loves Best compilation is astounding, and remixes from that would be amazing. LUVOTOMY is my personal favourite off that album, Namie is a brilliant partner for Verbal. You can see the live performance from the COSMICOLOR tour on YOUTUBE of that song, and it's flawless, you should check it out.

I was at the LA show too. Even though I don't really listen to US top40, I enjoyed the set anyways. It's definitely true that the crowd is REALLY diverse. There are people who don't listen to any Japanese music outside of Utada's, and even for those who do, they might only like certain artists/genres/whatever.

I myself listen mostly to Japanese music on the r&b/hip-hop side of the spectrum, and I would've loved to see some remixes of songs by Aoyama Thelma, Dohzi-T, BENI, Diggy-MO. Of course, I don't know how popular these artists are in the US, even among people who do listen to jpop.

I also saw the artist m-flo get mentioned a few times in this thread, and I'd like second/third/fifth that suggestion. Their songs are really "remix-friendly" and they are definitely one of the great innovators in Japanese hip-hop in the past 5-6 years, imo.

This is a GREAT suggestion, remixes of Utada songs that she would not be performing would've gotten the crowd pumped up quite a bit.

Thanks for taking the time to personally ask the community for comments!

I was at the LV show and thought your opening set was great, thanks!

Wow! I can't believe that Mike is here.. I didn't get to see any shows because I live in Florida and don't have the money to see Utada anywhere on the tour. ( wished she played Miami)
I bought the Dirty Desire remixes from Amazon and love your versions. I'm just curious if you ever Dj over in Orlando, Tampa, or Miami Florida sometimes? As for suggestions for J pop, I'm just curious if it has to be just Japanese artists? Asides from the ones mention, I would like to see you try to remix a song from a Korean group called " Super Junior" Hope you have the best of luck this year.

ps. Wouldn't mind seeing you do remixes of Utada's " Apples and Cinnamon" and " Poppin'" and maybe some of her Japanese songs if it was possible.

Awesome to see a lot of love for Mr. Rizzo here! I think I may have already said this before but I really would love to see you tour with Utada again Mike, it'd be great to see both of you again.

I also just thought of another song. "Evolution" from Ayumi Hamasaki is a really good one, and great for remixing. I'll stop there, lol, I think I've suggested enough.

Once again, it's such an honor to have you here Mr. Rizzo. :D (if you have a 360, add me!.....joking of course...maybe)
