Hello, everybody

This is a jazz vocal song.
This was recorded about 15 years ago by Natsuki Yoshikawa, our local jazz singer when she was young.
I made this song with only MIDI Style because RealTracks were not available yet at the time.
Comments encouraged.
Have at it.

Best Regards.

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

Excellent song and vocal Shigeki

Very pleasant song Shigeki!! Even though it is a bit more uptempo than your new stuff, I still hear your melodic and structural style in it. Vocal is great. Enjoyed it much!! Take care. Greg

Shigeki,

Although indeed different from your usual work, a very pleasant listen and a very nice vocal.

Rob & Anne-Marie

Shigeki,


I enjoyed this- the backing sounds great for midi, especially the trumpet and the vocals are expressive.
Given the musical knowledge you`ve already shared here its no surprise that you are comfortable with a more uptempo jazz song...still, its good to hear something from your past work.

Robert

Wow, Shigeki! I agree with Robert, the backing sounds really phenomenal for MIDI. The trumpet is especially wonderful, I love its little excursions and phrases Awesome vocal performance, too. Great job, as always!

Great selection of sounds and mix! As usual you produce amazing music!

Shigeki Adachi,

Very enjoyable listen!

Terrific energy in the music and instrument choice. Impressive MIDI work. Well mixed.

Wonderful melody.

Your singer is outstanding.

floyd

Shigeki

SO different from your other works but this is still beautiful.

You have some good singers in your music circle.

As Robertkc wrote

Well done again

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
And many thanks for all the positive feedback!
I much appreciate your continuous supports and your kind comments every time.
I am so glad to hear you like my MIDI work and her vocal.
RealTracks are great but also I will look over the MIDI styles of BIAB again.

Thank you again to all.

Best Regards.

Shigeki Adachi

Shigeki, this is really just so well presented.

A great swing feel throughout, and punctuated with the excellent vocals provide an absolute highlight to the song.

Great work.

Hello, Trevor

I love swing jazz vocal songs as well as other pops and classics.
I would like to post my other jazz vocal song again.

Greg stated it very well. It has your signature sound but is more uptempo. And another of your great melodies is present. Add to that the fine vocal and you have a great production.

We enjoyed it!

J&B

Wow, for a midi-only track, it's awesome! Really shows the power of BIAB, even way back then! And the vocals are jazzily perfect! Enjoyed this immensely.

Very cool song, GREAT vocals!! Is that a picture of the lady singing it? Who is she. Awesome voice.

Shigeki, I truly enjoyed this song. Great musicianship and great vocal. Good work!! Thanks, Torrey.

Janice & Bud,
Maybe it has been almost the same the way I write songs for a long time since I was young.

David,
Yes, it is a picture of the lady singing it. It is Natsuki Yoshikawa when she was young.
The picture was taken at the municipal recording studio of our city about 15 years ago.

Thank you again to all.

Best Regards.

Shigeki Adachi

Just too cool! Great vibe!

Shigeki,

An excellent uptempo song. As others have said the MIDI backing does sound great.
Love the song structure and very smooth vocals from Natsuki Yoshikawa.

Good job,
Jez

She is our local jazz vocalist, Natsuki Yoshikawa.
This song was recorded by her when she was young about 15 years ago.
She is still an active singer, so I would like to post her vocals again.
