Summary of lyrics

While many seasons pass me by
I have been looking for your trace
And now I am counting stars scattered in the night sky

Why had I encountered with you
Though there were millions of people in the world
And, why my heart is still tied with you

In spring we kissed cherry blossoms fluttering lightly
In summer we gave cold drops to moisturize our burned skins

How bright our lives were shining
What a coincidence our encounter was
What should I call it if it was not love

In autumn I will dance waltz alone with my tears
In winter I will need some one’s hot breaths to my frozen cheeks

Who am I wandering over seasons to go by
I am an eternal traveler in pursuit of impossible love
Wow, that's a lively, fun run through the jungle.
Sensational vocals and arrangement.
My only nit is that the solo horn at the intro don't sound quite real.
Otherwise absolutely fabulous.
A dynamic and fast paced production ,a little more dynamic than what we normally hear from you.

Quite enjoyable.
Love the changes, Shigeki. What a wonderfully snappy song. An interesting diversion from what I've come to expect from animarorecords, and it shows your wonderful musical diversity. Natsuki delivers a soaring vocal in this outstanding production. I'm not sure --it might be me-- but I hear a low rumble during the solo. Man, I love that bass.
Nice jazzy romp indeed. Fabulous vocals!
Wow! This really bounces and had Janice dancing around the house smile

Great composition, great vocalist, great arrangement and a fine mix.

Loved it all!

Shigeki Adachi,

This is a pretty cool song with a nice drive, and I think the way you put in the solos sounds really authentic.
Good singer, too.
And the mix is of your usual high standard.
Very well done!
Hi, Shigeki.

I always enjoy your songs.

This is upbeat and punchy. Excellent singing by Natsuki and I really like the brass section.

As rayc noted, the solo trumpet sounded synthetic, and more so because everything else sounded so real in comparison.

Still, great work! laugh
Shigeki, a super swing song.
Natsuki is a great singer.
Super backing tracks and mix.
Outstanding bass line.
Hi Shigeki Adachi.

Wow!!! This is action-paced music! It reminds me of the Big Band era of jazz. You've done an amazing job. When I closed my eyes, I could see everyone performing on stage because it was so realistic.In addition, Natsuki's singing was incredible. She's a world-class vocalist. I'm in awe of your musical ability. You truly are a gifted songwriter and musical arranger.

All the very best,
--Noel
rayc,

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune, Natsuki's vocal and my arrangement.
Thank you for pointing out the solo trumpet.
Expressing solo trumpet with MIDI is more difficult than expressing brass section, so I would like to make it my future challenge.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.

Best regards.

You are truly a seasoned bassist. You can immediately hear the bass line.
The rumble in the background of the guitar solo is the sound of the drummer hitting the bass tom.

Shigeki,

It's an absolutely fabulous sounding song. Your arranging skills are extremely good. There's a lot going on here, but everything seems to have found its right place! Natsuki delivered a very nice vocal performance! Your work is always among the very best presented here and this one is right up there!

Thanks, TB
Shigeki,

That's a great song. Love the pacing and arrangement. Great vocal by Natsuki.

Very nicely done!

Bob
Shigeki,

I wasn’t quite expecting that sound when I first hit play . . . but, wow, I’m really digging this. That bass line is captivating and just killer. Fabulous vocal . . . the whole feel of this song is outstanding. Excellent, excellent production . . . perfect lead guitar solo in that it fits the song well, but lets that bass shine through. Same for the piano. Wonderful tune!!

All my best to you,

Deej
