Shigeki
Beautifully presented, very professional, and the vocal harmonies have really added dimension to the song. Another masterpiece, for sure.

Very nice. This is more of a MOR pop ballad than country rock. Just because the style is country rock, doesn't make the composition country rock. I use a hard rock style quite often for my country tunes. But that issue aside...
Yoko's vocals and harmonies are really nice. Everything sounds good to me on this end of the speakers. Well done in every aspect of this recording and composition.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Shigeki,
This is fine work. A really warm vocal and the production is top notch - your string arrangement adds drama and is very well integrated. Most enjoyable!

Hello, Trevor, Scott, Herb, Robert, Rob & Anne-Marie, Curt, Peter, floyd and Greg
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I much appreciate your immediate positive feedbacks. I am very glad to hear you like this song and Yoko's vocal.
Herb, Rob & Anne-Marie, Yes, you are right. Certainly it is hard to say Country Rock. I understand I don't have true Country feeling. And I always appreciate BIAB because I can make many songs with various different styles.
Best Regards.
Shigeki Adachi

This is an interesting, creative and well performed blend of styles.
The pro sounding production is lush and the vocals are outstanding. And the mix sounds excellent on our monitors.
Nice!!

Hello, Janice & Bud, Peter and Kenny
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I am very glad to hear you like this song, its arrangement and Yoko's vocal. I can't play guitar so well but I do love guitar sound, so I would like to post songs with various guitar sounds this year (maybe).
Best Regards.

As always, Shigeki, I love your stuff! The intro guitar is so good -- the tone is very unexpected but also very effective! Can't wait to hear more

こんにちは Shigeki Adachi.
This is a really beautiful composition. The Yoko's vocals are outstanding.
As always, your attention to musical detail is very impressive. The chord progression flows seamlessly from start to finish. Similarly, the arrangement and the production develop in such a way that the listener is always engaged and always captivated by your work.
What really stood out to me most on my first listen was the melody. I reckon that you are amongst the best melody writers on the forum.
I'm heading back for another listen now!

We've had a very busy holiday season which made it very tough to listen to the great music on this forum. Now that I have a bit of time to do it, I'm really glad to hear a great new song by you Mr. Adachi! I love the string accompaniment of this song. I love the Japanese composition style, it has the ability to make me feel great! A couple of my favourite Japanese musicians are Nobuo Uematsu and Yasunori Mitsuda (video game musicians but still great!), and your music reminds me of theirs! Gives me a wholesome feeling.
Thanks,
Mathew PG Music Inc.

Hello, Noel, Mathew and Torrey
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I am very glad to hear you like my compositon and Yoko's vocal.
Noel, I always carry a litte music notebook. Melody often comes when I go for a walk or riding a train(usually, 2 bars or 4 bars), I write it down before I forget it, and I deverop it with my piano after.
Mathew, I am not particularly conscious, but you feel the style of Japan in my music.
Best Regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
