This is my new vocaloid song written with Crooner Big Band 9 horns.
I made the accompaniment only with RealTracks and no additional instruments.
Any comments encouraged.
Have at it.

Summary of lyrics:

Sitting astride of a white carousel
I'm going around and around
Both the happiness and the sadnesss
Are passing with merry music

My love is waving his hand
I’m riding alone on a carousel
Both “I love you” and “Goodbye”
Are passing with merry music
Carousels are turning around and around

Great mellow jazzy tune with nice Vocaloid singing. Enjoyable chord progression. Really good work with the realtracks, the crooner band is in good hands here and the trumpet fits like a glove

Janne

Very cool backtrack. I must say that the vocaloid has a very interesting cool sound. Well done

Shigeki,
A very nice swing groove; the horns sound great and the vocaloid gives an ethereal touch.
Smooth and sweet chord progression.
It would be interesting to hear this song with your band and vocalist friends.

Robert

Shigeki, this is another totally professional and flawless production from you (as always). Miku has such a wonderful and beautiful voice! Very good!! Thanks, Torrey

Shigeki Adachi,

Excellent - as is all your work. A delightful melody. Your work with vocaloid is outstanding (I have no idea how that is done).

Wonderful instrumentation, arrangement, production. Great mix. It all sounds "natural" - everything fit perfectly.

A terrific listen.

floyd

You have certainly capitalized of the marvelous ability of the Crooner Style to deliver.

This song is another exceptional delivery.

You must be very pleased with the result. I am.

Superbly arranged and produced.

It sounds tremendous on our monitors with a wonderful sound stage.

The trumpet is amazing...like somebody you've worked with for years.

Excellent!

J&B

Wow, what a tune! The production on this is seriously next level. I love the groove of this tune, and the arrangement is near flawless. The trumpet on this makes it for me. Congrats on this, you deserve to be proud.

Great work, and thanks so much for sharing

Sounds so good

nice melody, very catchy

enjoyed the listen

Kenny

Oh boy, this is brilliant Shegiki. Wonderful big band sound. not taking anything away from the fabulous job done with the vocaloid, This deserves to be sung by a top female jazz singer

Wow Shigeki, this is beautiful! reminds me of Michell Legrand stuff. Well done.

Mike B.

Hi Shigeki,

This is my favorite kind of music. This sounds like it was just finished in a recording studio by a terrific live big band. Reminded me of 1940. Made me want to grab my wife and dance! Your music is always so professionally conceived and delivered. Great sound on a great song.

Alan

Hi animarorecords

interesting your (Vocaloid) work
did you make the backtrack first?

I'm not a big vocaloid fan BUT I'm a huge fan of the song and of your music in general!! This is a totally classy production-great melody and arrangement, and you really brought the band to life. Bravo!!! Take care. Greg

Same here.

I loved that big band that you have going on here but I didn't like the vocaloid. I would get a real vocalist for this outstanding backing track.
