Hello, everybody About 2 months ago the schedule of Natsuki Yoshikawa, our local female jazz vocalist was adjusted, I recorded 3 songs with her vocal. This is the third post of those 3 songs, which is the human vocal version of my song that I have posted here before with vocaloid. This is a song of a broken-hearted guy though a female vocalist sings it. Comments encouraged. Have at it. Best Regards. Shigeki Adachi Title: 恋する乙女 (Translation: A Girl in Love) Vocal: Natsuki Yoshikawa, our local female jazz vocalist Accompanied with rhythm section, piano and string quartet. Link: https://soundcloud.com/animarorecords/a-girl-in-loveRhythm section Style is _CSTRBAL.STY RealTracks in style: ~518:Bass, Electric, Pop HalfNotes Ev 085 RealTracks in style: ~542:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Dreamy Ev 085 RealTracks in style: ~362:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085 RealDrums: RealDrums in Style: NashvilleEven8^1-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride Piano & Strings Style is _MOVIEST.STY RealTracks in style: 2045:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment CountryPopJohn Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 2335:String Quartet, Rhythm PopHall Ev Summary of lyrics Please don’t become beautiful any more than now Please don’t change your style Giving preference to somebody who is unfamiliar People say the young girl in love becomes beautiful Absolutely you become beautiful day by day I notice it clearly Who is the guy reflected in the depths of your eyes? I understand it is not me more than enough I heard the rumor of that guy You foolishly become beautiful day by day for him I am very sad to know the truth After all I love you in spite of that he is your most favorite I am attracted to you more than before day by day I always remind myself to pray for your happiness But I am relieved to see you with a dark expression I must be worse than a beast Please don’t become more beautiful tomorrow than today than yesterday Please don’t attract me any more Link of the vocaloid version: https://soundcloud.com/animarorecords/a-girl-in-love-miku

Shigeki Adachi,
This is beautifully done in all regards.
Natsuki Yoshikawa's vocal is wonderful. The arrangement is just as it should be - highlighting the vocal at every turn. Excellent mix.
Piano and strings are excellent.
A delightful listen.

I love hearing your songs with live vocals. The songs are beautiful and the deserve the great delivery a live vocalist can bring. This is just wonderful!! You write very sophisticated music. It reminds me of Andrew Lloyd Webber or someone like that-beautiful soaring melodies and great orchestration. Fantastic!!! Take care. Greg
