Noel,

It's been a while. How are you?
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
And many thanks for listening to the both versions.
I am really glad you like this tune, vocalist and my arrangement.

By the way, I have never taught composition at the Yamaha Music Foundation, but I did attend a composition class.
At that time, if I wanted to create my own music, there is no way but I had to study music theory and arranging, write my own score, and have the Yamaha teachers play it for me.
So a lot of students went to that class.
However, nowadays it is possible to create high-level music using computers, so the class was closed about 10 years ago.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi
