Lovely.

Thank you for your comment. It reminded me of something.
As I wrote in the description of the album, I used the wind instruments (flute, clarinet and oboe) heavily for the melodies because I love their tones so much and most of the songs are the orchestral or classical-style pops. So was this song. Once I had replaced the guitar with synth tones, there were no reasons to stick to the orchestral instruments. So, I looked for any other instruments that fit more to the melodies, but I could find none. Maybe my ears are too much accustomed to them.
As for the panning, as far as I heard it by headphone, I could notice reasonable spread of the sounds caused by the echoes of the synth tones. I think there is certainly some room for improvement here.
As you kindly pointed out, the strings part is the most dramatic though I hope it is not sorrowful :-)

Thank you again,

Hiroshi
