You are so consistent in the high quality of your production. Everything in the mix sets perfectly and the vocal is right where it should be. Your work is extraordinary and has such a professional quality. The arrangement is perfect for the song.
This is a beautiful song and expertly crafted. So enjoyable.

I totally agree, and couldn't have said it better myself Charlie! I always enjoy listening to songs posted by animarorecords!
I loved this. Even though I can't understand the lyrics, the vocal is like listening to a wonderful new instrument. Simply beautiful.
Many, many years ago (back in the 1980's) I was an active participant in the annual National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade committee in Washington, DC (I was in charge of marching bands for the parade for two years in a row), to celebrate the trees that line the tidal basin as a gift from Japan many years ago, and so realize how important the tradition of cherry blossom season is.
Thanks again for posting this.

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I much appreciate your very kind words. I am very glad you all like this jazz waltz.
John, Many thanks for your comment to the tradition of cherry blossom season. In the news of the other day, a newscaster reported that the buds of the cherry blossoms in Washington, DC received little damage in this year due to the cold weather, I am extremely worried. The pictures below are from the cherry blossom festival in my town. They are previous pictures because not yet flowering this year. There are many places that are held more grandly, but, as it is located in five minutes' walk from home.
We have our Cherry Blossom bloom season here in Victoria, BC also... it's going on right now! I was walking downtown the other day and it was actually "raining" petals on me!
And it's why so many flock to our nation's capital every year to see them. I was worried about the cold snap, especially the snowstorm they experienced the day before the season was to start in Washington, DC.
Thank you for those great pictures. They are beautiful, and walking among the trees is a treat.

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I much appreciate your very kind words. I am very glad you like Natsuki's vocal. I would like to post my songs with her vocal again.

Charlie beautifully stated our sentiments. We have a cherry blossom festival near us but a very early spring caused them to all bloom well before the festival. Your photos add a great perspective to the tune.
This is very, very well written, arranged and performed!
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I much appreciate your very kind words and your continuous supports. I am so sorry to hear a very early spring caused the cherry blossoms in your region to all bloom well before the festival. Spring is late this year in my region, cherry blossoms finally bloomed recently, but the weather report announced that it would rain this weekend. Indeed, cherry blossoms do not always go the way we want them to.

Could not have said it better. I really appreciate your very classic influences. Awesome job!! Take care. Greg
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I much appreciate your very kind words and your continuous supports. Maybe my classic influences are caused by hearing much more American standard songs than Japanese pops since I was a child.
I sincerely apologise for taking so long to comment on this creation. It's beautiful, really beautiful. Natsuki Yoshikawa's singing is a perfect fit for an incredibly vibrant composition.
This is definitely one of the best arrangements I've heard on Users Showcase. You've really done an amazing job. Your skill is outstanding!
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I much appreciate your very kind words and your continuous supports. Your comment is always very welcome. I am very happy you like this tune and Natsuki's vocal.

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
