Hi Hiroshi,
I prefer the vocal version. The vocaloid
sounds quite natural.
Enjoyed this a lot.

Hi Guenter,
Thank you for your comment. I am glad you enjoyed the vocaloid version.
The orchestral version is beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
And then the vocaloid version WOW that too was beautiful but sounding so different. Thanks for linking both, both are excellent.

Hi Alyn,
Thank you for your comment. I am happy you like my songs.
I liked both versions a lot! Very beautiful. Please submit all the vocals in Japanese you would like. They are beautiful. We have enough vocals in English to last us a million years. More French and Japanese German and Spanish please--every language for that matter.
Hi David,
Thank you for your comment and encouragement. I am glad you like both versions. I will post more Japanese vocal songs.
Hi Hiroshi,
We like both versions, but the instrumental one appeals to us more, probably due to the strings.
The music is beautiful, very suitable for a poem.

Hi Rob and Anne-Marie,
Thank you for your comment. I am glad you like my songs. I am especially happy to know that you like strings ensemble.
*******************************************
Because your comments somehow refer to comparison between two versions, I will explain some background now.
Some time ago, I wanted to make a song with lyrics and vocal. I took my favorite poem to use as its lyrics and decided to use Vocaloid singer "Mew" as its vocalist. Mew is my favorite because her voice is very natural and attractive. To emphasize the vocal, I made its accompaniment as simple as possible. I think Mew's voice well suited Japanese traditional song style.
I also made its instrumental version as a kind of independent song from the vocal version. To emphasize the melody line, I made it as a strings ensemble music.
When I posted them, I did not expect Japanese vocal song well accepted by the forum members. Now I am encouraged to post more Japanese songs to the forum.
I hope this is appropriate for the supplemental reply to your comments. Thank you again for your listening and feedback.
Hiroshi
