Konnichiwa Shigeki Adachi-san,

I really enjoyed listening to your song and to Yoko Kawajiri singing. She has such a beautiful voice. Please tell her that she has a fan here in Australia!

To my ears, your arrangement sounds rich and luxurious and is loaded with creativity and inventiveness. You've done a great job putting it together. I admire your composing and arranging skills.

While your song definitely has elements of American Country, I can also hear the influence of jazz and film in its arrangement. It's a very interesting combination to listen to and I like it. I suspect that this composition could be arranged in many different styles and all of them would sound terrific.

I always enjoy listening to your work.

All the best,
Noel

Shigeki Adachi,

This is a very nice song, cool to hear something Japanese for a change!
One little nit: the pedal steel guitar is sometimes a little bit in the way of the vocals.
Apart from that, very well done!

Noel said it all well. There are hints of country surrounded by pop textures. This is beautifully sung, arranged and mixed. Superb all the way around!

Another yes, yes, yes and yes.

I really liked the vocals. I didn't understand a word but what a beautiful voice!

I wouldn't call this country. I would call it more pop or jazz. But who cares, this is one outstanding song!

Loved it!

Hello, Noel, floyd, Charlie, Guenter, Rob and Anne-Marie, Greg, Janice & Bud, Mario, Scott, Tom, Dan and everybody,

Thank you very much for your warm comments to my song and to Yoko Kawajiri singing.
She was very very glad to read those messages, because she has not often experienced to be raised for her voice.
It seems so high to clear a hurdle of country genre for me, but I was highly encouraged by your comments and would like to make further efforts.

I will post my music again.
Thank you

Shigeki Adachi

Hello from Miami,

As everyone has said beautiful song. The first thing I listen to this morning.
I also like ねじれた恋のツイスト.


Best wishes,

Billy
