The melody is very pretty, and I love the Oboe. It's great to hear your voice as well!
What are you using for the string sounds?
Thanks,
Mathew

Shigeki,
The strings and oboe are gorgeous - the whole arrangement is wonderful.
Perfect for a wedding. I really enjoyed your singing too.
Beautifully done.

Shigeki,
I agree with all of the comments. It's a great song with a very lush orchestration and production.
I particularly like the strings. I see that you use EastWest Symphonic Orchestra which is now on my wish list :-)
Good job.

Wonderful! Such a beautiful melody - it soars!
Your string arrangements are so strong!

Hello, Rob & Anne-Marie, Mathew, Robert, Josie, Receder, Scott, floyd
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
And many thanks for all the positive feedback!
I much appreciate your kind comments for my vocal and arrangement.
I am so glad.
Mathew and Receder,
I often use EastWest Symphonic Orchestra in my songs.
Because the sounds are rich and gorgeous and it is very easy to use.
The adjustment of volume is available by velocity and the changes of articulations by keyboard switch.
But there are also the weak points.
The crescendo and decrescendo of long notes cannot get the changes of tones.
The dry sounds are not available because the sounds already contain the hall reverb.
The number of string players are too many to be suitable for the chamber ensemble or pop strings.
I would like to introduce my vocal again.
Thank you again to all.
Best Regards.
Shigeki Adachi

What a wonderful wedding song! And like the other members have said...why haven't we heard your vocals? Your voice and the lush production are really nice. The strings are perfect for the song.
Nice!!!

That's my biggest issue with the East West library as well as there are no mic feeds for the dry sounds. I just renewed my subscription to Composer Cloud last night so I'm excited to learn how to get Symphonic Choirs to work with the lyrics I want the choir to sing. Do you use any special Reverb plugins? I like Lexicon and a friend just gave me his license of Valhalla and it is incredible. I also use QSpaces which sounds amazing too but isn't as versatile as I'd like.
Thanks,
Mathew

I agree with Floyd and others!! Always love your melodies, and your vocal has wonderful passion Shigeki. I don't know why you use vocaloid. You can sing!! Beautiful, beautiful job on this!! Take care. Greg

Hello, Will, Janice & Bud, Greg and Alyn Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I much appreciate your continuous supports. And many thanks for your kind comments to my vocal. I am so glad. Mathew, I often use Waves Trueverb as a reverb plugin for many years. Because it is very natural and easy to use with many presets. You are also a big fun of EastWest sounds, aren't you? Certainly I am a big fun. I also own EastWest Symphonic Choirs, which sounds are very beautiful, but it is a little bit difficult to give words to voices. It is necessary the straight and whole playback without stopping in the middle of the music. Otherwise, the words will slip off from the music. I think it is much easier to let vocaloid sing with words. The following link is my past post using EastWest Symphonic Choirs, please drop in if you like. http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=49714&Number=341025#Post341025I would like to sing my songs by myself again. Thank you again to all. Best Regards. Shigeki Adachi

Shigeki Adachi, this is really well presented. I liked the dynamics in your vocal.
The arrangement using real tracks is absolutely superb.
Very enjoyable.

Shigeki Adachi,
Wow!!!! Your arrangement of the strings is incredible. They don't simply play, they soar.... absolutely beautiful. Your expertise in harmony shines on this production. You've done a stunning job on creating, arranging and producing this.
Also, I agree with floyd.... your vocals are great. You definitely should sing more often.
All the best,
Noel
