Hello, forum friends This is my new rock tune suitable for highway drive. The lyrics were written by Alt-H, whom I met on the website of Piapro, a vocaloid fan forum in Japan. So I had to use a vocaloid on the vocal track. It was written in 1980’s J-Pop style. Any comments encouraged. Always welcome. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi Title: Endless Driveway ~果てしない道~ Vocal: 初音ミク(Hatsune Miku), vocaloid Link: https://soundcloud.com/animarorecords/endless-drivewayStyle is _PSHINIG.STY RealTracks in style: 1255:Bass, Electric, PopShiningA-B Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1264:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopShiningA-B Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1851:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopShiningGrittyA-B Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1259:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopShiningRockA-B Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 1260:Guitar, Electric, Soloist PopShining Ev 120 RealDrums: RealDrums in Style: PraiseWorshipShine^01-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride Summary of lyrics: When we are driving the highway by the seaside My heart is throbbing and I want to be taken to some place far away The horizon continues endlessly The sunlight reflected in a clear wave is dazzling In those days we began to be attracted to each other We often went for a drive like today Now you and me let's throw away everything And we will go this driveway endlessly I feel excited more and more If only you are by my side my heart will be beating up We had forgotten the feelings at that time Today we remember those passionate feelings Now you and me let’s forget everything And we will go this driveway endlessly When the sunset dyes the sea orange The two of us cannot go back anymore to the road we have come

Shigeki,
This is excellent! The vocaloid really works flawlessly here in this arrangement.
Great mix as well.

Wonderful pop song, catchy melody with excellent chord progression - familiar elements followed by nice twists.
Great use of realtracks, that solo guitar fits nicely. Definitely has a fast driving mood, I can taste the cooling breeze on a convertible car.

Wow, great uplifting song, without even understanding the lyric...then, I read the lyric and it just added to the overall positive feel to this track. I really liked the initial, repetitive melody sequence, with a changing harmony that is really interesting. Loved the solo portion as well. As I've said before, I regret that I don't understand Japanese to get all the subtle craftsmanship that is probably in the lyrics. I want to get in my car, put the top down, and go on a scenic drive right now!! Thanks Shigeki!

Shigeki Adachi,
Excellent Pop song. Nice tracks. The solos sound good. The vocaloid works so well one forgets it is not "real".
Excellent mix. A terrific listen.

Shigeki,
Superb sound - the backing tracks are nicely mixed and give the song a lot of energy - especially nice solo. Nice use of Vocaloid. Excellent work.

Animaro,
Killer guitar right out of the gates—pulls the listener right in; and it keeps on in the instrumental. Inviting melody on the chorus, and the vocals are very easy on the ear. And excellent production. You have a really great tune here . . . something to be proud of. Good luck with it!
All the best,
Deej

Hello, Tom
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I am always very encouraged by your nice words. I am really glad you like this tune. I like composing method like repetitive melody sequence with a changing harmony. And Jobim also often uses the same method. I learned this method from past and contemporary great composers such as Jobim. I much appreciate your comments about the lyrics. I usually write melodies first, but this song was provided with lyrics beforehand and this melody was written by being inspired by the rhythm of the lyrics.
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."
