Hello captain,
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune and the vocalist.
Your tips for the vocal EQ can be very helpful.
I am very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.

Shigeki, your work is always excellent and once again you have shown us all arranging, performance and mixing that is second to none! Thanks, Torrey

You have created a lovely piece of music.
Fabulous melody, arrangement, and production.
I prefer the RB version: The vocal comes through clearer to my middle-aged ears.

Welcome back!
Both versions are lovely.
We always enjoy hearing your live / BiaB posts.
And as always it's difficult if not impossible to
choose one over another.
Both versions are lush, sophisticated and wonderfully room filling.
Great productions! Fine arrangement, strings and vocal.
J&B

Wonderful treatment of a very strong and wide melody. Your singer handles those large intervals well. I'm not a mix-expert. I'll just say that both versions had their strengths. There are too many factors to say that "live" is always better. I don't think that's true at all. But in orchestral pieces played by talented and accomplished musicians, there is very likely a greater sense of "oneness" that goes beyond the math and structure of music when players are in the same room under the same baton. That likely is the case between these two versions.
Anyway, lovely song and arrangement.

A lovely piece of composition, as was to be expected. Your use of strings and strings arrangements is just a step above anything I've heard around here.

David,

I am really glad you like this tune and the strings arrangement.
Certainly finding a good VST sound source for solo violin is very important but very difficult.
I tried various instruments, but this time I settled on EastWest one.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.

Janice & Bud,
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.

I am really glad you like this tune, the strings and Natsuki's vocal.
And I am very happy you always enjoy hearing my live / BiaB posts.
The music circle to which I belong holds a recording session twice a year to maintain our ability to write scores.
So, I think that I will be able to post my live / BiaB posts two or three times a year.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.

Hi Shigeki Adachi,
I'm a little bit late in getting to this wonderful creation.
What a beautiful sound and a truly outstanding arrangement of a superb melody. At the moment I'm listening to the Yamaha teachers' version. Natsuki Yoshikawa's singing is superb. She has done your beautiful music justice.
Now I'm listening to the Realtracks versions. Wow... this is just as wonderful. I don't know which one I prefer, to be honest. I'd have to toss a coin to choose.
You are, honestly, an incredibly talented composer and arranger. I am always impressed with you music creations.
Thank you for brightening my day!
All the best,
Noel

Dear Noel,
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
And many thanks for listening to the both version.
I am really glad you like this tune and Natsuki's vocal.
The live version and the RealTracks version are very similar for the following reasons.
Only piano, guitar, bass and drums were performed live.
All other parts are the same sound source(MIDI) I programmed.
And I wrote the score of the live band parts by copying the sounds of RealTracks.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Sincerely,
Shigeki Adachi
