Both versions are good, but I prefer the BIAB version because of Miya's jazz piano was mesmerizing. Both vocal were excellent. Though I love the dark, sultry tone of Takako's vocal, I found Miya's vocal the more appealing of the two for this song.
I don't know if you make a living with your music, but you should. Excellent composition and productions.

I am always very grateful to your detailed and valuable opinions.
I understand that the trumpet solo of the live version is not very good.
And I very much appreciate your offer regarding trumpet sound.
However, I would like to work hard to improve my music in the future without being too dependent on you.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.

Best regards.

I'm glad that you like Miya's piano so much.
She is the No. 1 pianist in my region.
And many thanks for your comment "I don't know if you make a living with your music, but you should."
I am working hard to study music day and night, but the hurdles to become a professional musician are still high.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
