Noriaki on SoundBetter

Mixing engineer looking to work with artists outside Japan. 20 years of professional mixing experience. I've mixed a lot of mega-hit songs in Japan. I used to live in Seattle, USA, so English is no problem. Here are my credits (in Japanese). https://supalove.com/category/engineer/watanabe-noriaki/

Usually it's $880 per song to mix, but since I really want to work with artists outside Japan, $250 per song is fine.

Here's one of the hits I mixed and mastered

    Noriaki did an excellent job.

    The mix and master sounded clean, musical, and very well balanced. He understood the mood of the song and brought out the vocal and texture in a really beautiful way.

    Communication was also clear and professional throughout the process.

    I’m very happy with the final result and would definitely love to work with him again.

    Noriaki did an amazing job mixing and mastering my Japanese alt-R&B J-pop track.
    He understood the mood of the song very well and brought out the depth, warmth, and clarity that the track needed. The final master sounds polished, musical, and emotionally right for the song.
    Communication was smooth, and he was also very helpful with small details and revisions.
    I’m very happy with the result and would definitely love to work with him again.

Usually, $800 for a song to mix, but since I really want to work with artists outside of Japan. Only $230 for a song is OK.
