Hello again, I made only one post last year because I could have little time for creative woks and then focused on improving my song-writing skills by reviewing some of my songs rather than creating new songs. I also tried out creating new to me or very much different styles of songs. I am going back to the Forum now and to show you the outcomes of the above efforts. Your feedback will be highly appreciated. The first one is "Visiting Beautiful Kyoto (Remixed)". I do not explain the differences between this version and exiting versions. I hope you just listen to it as a new song. Just one comment. I changed the virtual singer from Mew/VOCALOID(YAMAHA) to Yoko/Sinsy. Sinsy is the vocal synthesizer system developed in a Japanese university and is integrated into BIAB. I was surprised by its quality level. Yoko's Japanese pronunciation is very good or natural though I did almost no tuning. You can listen to the song at the following address on Soundcloud. https://soundcloud.com/hirokata1121/visiting-beautiful-kyoto-remixedYoutube video versions are also available at the following addresses. https://youtu.be/kSs5Nl4YBgo (in Japanese) https://youtu.be/NDS80hZd34E (in English) ****** Song Summary ************* Key: C , Tempo: 98 Style: ARPORK34.STY (Orchestral Arpeggio 3/4) Vocal: Yoko / Sinsy (Virtual) Instruments (DPro): Grand Piano 1st Violins Espressivo 1st Violins Legato Violas Legato Full Strings (big)

HiroshiK,
Interesting and beautiful song. Well performed and mixed. Those vocal synthesizers are amazing creatures.
Your song, for some strange reason reminded me of romantic waltz from 19th century Waves of the Danube by Romanian composer Ion Ivanovici.
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.

Dear "HiroshiK"...
Yes, indeed, the "Yoko/Sinsy" vocal synthesizer system has high-quality sound, but in the case of this particular song, the perception of its quality is heavily influenced by the beautiful, yet somehow melancholy melody you created. It sounds as though it was composed by someone who perhaps had lived in Kyoto, but had to leave it for some reason, and is caught-up in a reverie of memories that express a longing for a return to that "beautiful" city.
It's a very affecting piece of music, "HiroshiK". I feel grateful to have listened to it.
Sincerely,
LOREN

What a lovely and wonderful song! It's on my bucket list to go to Japan one day. I almost went last year, but the cheaper flights were looking something like 32 hours on way. Someday! For now, I'll just have to listen to your music to transport me there!
Cheers,
Ember

Hi Misha, Thank you for your feedback. I am glad you like my song. Waves of the Danube is very popular also in Japan. It appears even in the music textbook for the sixth grade of an elementary school. It was there when I was in an elementary schools as well (it is long long time ago). Hiroshi

Dear LOREN, Thank you for your feedback. Thank you also for sharing what sort of impression you had got from the melody. I was deeply impressed. Melancholy is a nice word to express it. I understood the melody, together with the voice of Yoko speaking Japanese, gave you that feeling. If you have time and interest, you can understand the meaning of Japanese lyrics by accessing the video version of the song. It includes the English translation in its description. https://youtu.be/NDS80hZd34E I hope you would accept it as well. Sincerely, Hiroshi

This is a stunningly gorgeous composition, such a surreal, haunting melody. I am absolutely astounded that the singer is a synthesizer.

I can't see why I'd need or want to listen to an English version - it may burst the balloon.
You've managed to wrangle the technology to do justice to a lovely melody.
Cheers
