Very Lovely song! Nice Melody!
The lyrics are simple and beautiful.
As Tom said, your uplifting attitude is perfect for this style.
The phrase of the semitone-moving strings coming at the bridge is wonderful.
The subdominant cliché "Ab - Ab(#5) - Ab6 - Ab7" is also very effective.
Your vocal is very pleasant as usual
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Good luck on the contest!
Best regards.

Hello Shigeki Adachi,

Thank you! I appreciate that you had time to have a listen. The progression of IV-IVaug-IV6-IV7 is sometimes found in the music from Tin Pan Alley.

The last time that I was aware of hearing a version of this progression in pop music was when Whitney Houston sang "The Greatest Love Of All". The I-Iaug-I6-I7 progression found in the verses got caught in my mind at that point in time. It's such a great sequence of sound.

I wish you good luck with the competition, too!

Regards,
Noel
