Tokyo based singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Maika Loubté released a new remix of one of her most popular tracks Show Me How created by producer Kan Sano on September 22nd.
Last October, Loubté released the original version of Show Me How to coincide with a national advertising campaign for Mazda’s MAZDA MX-30 car model that featured the song and Maika herself in the TV commercial. The remix
is said to maintain a similar emotion to the original track, while giving it a new life by adding "light, youthful, and percussive energy".

Fans hungry for new material can also look forward to the release of Maika Loubté's new album Lucid Dreaming on October 20th.
Regarding the new remix, Maika commented: “Show Me How, with its introspective lyrics and analog texture, was remixed by Kan Sano to give it a youthful and hopeful energy. As the world continues to battle through challenges in 2021, I hope this track can bring everyone around the
globe some light and make them want to dance into a new era.”
Kan Sano added: “I never thought I would be remixing one of my favorite songs from last year! Since I love Maika’s song so much, my challenge was not to tamper with the arrangement too much. I can't quite surpass the splendor of the
original, but I think I was able to create a different expression of Show Me How. With Maika's voice being so special, I was reassured that no matter how the song was reworked, her vocals would make the track turn out just fine. Through
the remixing process, I realized once again the beauty of the melody and lyrics in her songwriting.”
A music video for the remix that was filmed in one take at the Institut français du Japon in Tokyo was also revealed on YouTube:
