So uhh, does anyone know where I can get an isolated vocal track for Mariya Takeuchi's Plastic Love? Or know anyone who can sing Japanese? This is a song I've been wanting to do since April of this year. I managed to track down a lossless FLAC of the 30th anniversary re-release of Variety, which does contain two mixes of the original song plus a karaoke track, but I'm guessing these were originally ripped from vinyl or cassette before being digitally released. There seems to be a lot of (initially imperceptible) flutter in all three versions of the song I have, which makes noise cancelling to isolate the vocals impossible, as microsecond precision is required to make sure it works as intended. I've also tried phase cancelling, as most songs are mixed with the vocal track in the center phase. This song seems to be the one exception.
I've already tried a few people on Fiverr to isolate the vocals from the files I have, but even those attempts did not end up very good. I don't think it's any fault on their part, because they were definitely able to produce much better results than I was. However even those better versions were completely unusable to me. I think this is just a cursed song.
I am literally willing to pay someone money to isolate them for me/find a clean isolation, or even pay someone to perform the song in Japanese so I can use the vocals. I'll take any recommendations if y'all have some.
