Hello, floyd
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
And thanks a lot for listening to both versions.
I am really glad you like this tune.
I much appreciate your compliment "Your English is quite good!"
However, to tell the truth I can hardly speak English, although I can write somewhat.
Most Japanese people are not good at English conversation. And me either.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.

Hello, Robert
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
And thanks a lot for listening to both versions.
I am really glad you like this tune.
40 years ago, neither MIDI, computer nor BIAB existed, and there was no way other than recording acoustic instruments one by one to produce music.
There were many music mates at the time, but each was aiming for another music, and I was not able to get involved in the recording of my original works quite easily.
That is why I practiced drums.
But since the drum machine was released shortly afterwards, I have not played drums since then, so I cannot play them at all now.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.

Hello, Greg
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
It is a great honor to be called a melody machine.
I am really glad you like this tune.
Essentially I also prefer human vocals.
And thanks a lot for your comment to the lyrics.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.

Hello, Mario
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune.
Yes, BIAB and Vocaloid are great software.
Thanks to those, I was able to bring my old music back to the present age.
I would like to pursue the possibility of vocaloid further.
Best regards.

Hello, Janice & Bud
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
And thanks a lot for listening to both versions.
I am really glad you like this tune.
Everyone around me who was willing to produce music at that time owned Teac's 4 track multi-channel tape recorder.
I remember I also had recorded a lot of songs using it.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.

This is just so good, Shigeki! This totally captures the sounds of the mid 70s. Your vocal is great on the original and the vocaloid on the new version is so much better than earlier versions. You have a really nice singing voice!
I slightly like the newer version (the musical background primarily). But the piano on the original is fantastic!
This was a real pleasure to listen to!
best to you.

Hello, David(dcuny)
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune.
And thanks a lot for your precious suggestions to the pronunciations of the vocaloid and the lyrics.
Regarding the pronunciations, I can understand the difference of the phonetic alphabet you wrote very well, but it is very difficult to recognize the difference as sound.
Because there are only five vowels in Japanese.
I entered the lyrics for vocaloid this time with the spelling of English words as it is.
Regarding the lyrics, It's very hard for me to understand the nuance of English.
So I would like to rely on your advice entirely.
Thank you again for your advise.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Hello, Janne
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune.
And thank a lot for listening to both versions.
This time I used a three-voice harmony including a lead vocal.
Certainly I also think Vocaloid 5 is very slow.
I have used Vocaloid 4 editor for Cubase.
Because, in Cubase, it can be used as a VST instrument plug-in from the start, and all MIDI edits in Cubase are reflected in V4 editor directly.
This time I also used the V4 editor for almost all the necessary processes and do the final process (only to use the preset) in V5.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi, Truly, this is...  As Mario said, you are the king of vocaloid production. I was amazed with the clarity of Cyber Songman II. I haven't yet purchased Vocaloid but as I listen more and more to what you do with it, I'm becoming increasingly tempted! As always, your arranging and music creating are first class. You have a wonderful gift for melody and for find the very best harmony that supports it. In all honesty, it's always a pleasure to hear your work! All the best, Noel

Hello, David(Sydner)
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune.
Thanks a lot for listening to both versions.
I much appreciate your commenting about not only my music and lyrics but also my picture and hat.
In those days I was still in the early twenties, I was absorbed in the music of USA and UK. nostalgic.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.

Hello, beatmaster
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
The vocaloid technology continues to improve.
In Japan, vocaloids have fully acquired citizenship on the WEB.
Also they often appear in cosplay.
However, they have not penetrated the broadcasting such as television and radio.
Perhaps the day the vocaloids will replace human singers may not come.
I am really glad you like this tune.
Best regards.

Hello, Alan
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune.
Thanks a lot for listening to both versions.
I much appreciate your commenting about my singing.
At that time I was singing everyday so my voice came out quite high.
Unfortunately, now I cannot sing with high-pitched tone.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.

Hello, Noel
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
It has been about 4 years since I started using vocaloid for the first time.
I registered in a forum named "piapro" for posting various vocaloid works 4 years ago.
Because I found a member who posted lots of wonderful lyrics and I really wanted to use those lyrics for my music.
That's why I had to work with vocaloids to create music.
However, I have preferred human vocalists yet at the same time.
So, most of the works I made for the forum are reproduced by appointing human vocalists later.
And while using Vocaloid, I found that vocaloid was also fun gradually.
I am sure that you will also find that it is very enjoyable if you use it.
Thanks again for your nice words.
I am always looking forward to your comment.
All the best,
Shigeki Adachi
