Hi Shigeki,
Wow this is something really different from you, but it's instantly captivating.
I love the music, and it's extremely engaging and well produced but the thing that I really love are those lyrics.
I love the sound of the voice as a beautiful instrument in and of itself, which sounds like an instrument to my ears because I don't understand Japanese. So it's just a beautiful sound.
But when I read the lyrics I find them to be very Zen, and not at all like an English lyric that you would expect in these circumstances.
It's fascinating to me that there's not really an action-oriented drama going on here, but there is a poetic, or internal, feeling based drama that's going on.
It's a completely different art form I think and so far as lyrics are concerned and I really like it.
Fascinating!!
By the way, have you ever put together an entire album of just really soft, gently orchestrated vocal ballads? If you have I would love to know where to find those on the internet, or even purchase an album or two of them if they exist.
Those Japanese female vocals are profoundly soothing. I could sit on the couch and listen to them all day.

Mix and sound is crystal clear. Music is enjoyable and both energetic and laid back. Guitar solo is flawless, and Yoko's voice is alluring.

Shigeki, I'm in awe of your musical proficiency. The vocalist was brilliant as well. Can't believe this is twenty years old. Fantastic!

David(Snyder), Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I am really glad you like this tune. And I much appreciate your comment to my vocalist and my lyrics. Japanese is a language that contains a lot of vowels, that's why it may sound like an instrument. I've never produced a CD album of ballads, but I have some playlists on SoundCloud that are a collection of songs I've posted on this forum. https://soundcloud.com/animarorecords/setsAnd I've also released some of my albums on the iTunes Store, Spotify, etc. If you're interested, you can find some of my albums by searching for Shigeki Adachi. I am always very encouraged by your kind words. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

As usual, it's great production with a perfect Cuban vibe, and the Yoko vocals are excellent. I really like the lyrics translation as it's a really interesting little story. I've never had a lady say to me, "How tonight goes is up to you"! 
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

This song has a very universal feel from Latin to French and Japanese. Excellent rhythm supports the lovely singer perfectly. The chord progression works like magic.
The accordion gives little bit melancholy and the horns sound great. And that skillful guitar solo is the icing on this delicious cake.
I can imagine an enticing scene in a movie based on the lyrics, so vivid and emotional.
Great work to bring this work into the present day.
I don't know what salsa professionals would say, but this sounds like the finest example in this genre.
