Summary of lyrics:

I am puzzled by your attitude everyday
I have a lot of trouble with your lie

I always cannot escape
From sweet words that you tell me

Let me go
Without holding me with such a painful cry

You always use such a manner
I know your way very well

I'm going back to you every time
Without breaking my love for you

My walk stops in front of you
I have come back to you to be loved today too

Shigeki,

The clarity of the mix is outstanding on this tune. I also love the electric guitar - really nice.

Great use of the vocaloid - a very natural feel.

Excellent job!

Bob

Pro-sounding all around. The vocal is perfect in the mix. Clear and powerful production.

Very nice composition...
Reminds me of the haunting melodies I associate with the James Bond classics...
It sounds really good to my ears.

Super mix!

like Jim said, hints of James Bond classics (that's cool)

very nice

enjoyed the listen,

Kenny

Hi Shigeki ....

What a great song! Has hints of mysterious luxury to my ears. Rich, vibrant and impossible not to listen to. The sparse backing tracks give the lead vocal and guitar full opportunity to sound their best. . A perfect film soundtrack piece. Excellent! Wishing you the very best ...

Alan

Shigeki

Lovely work - agree with the others it has a film track feel. Nice use of the virtual choir.
Another outstanding production.

Peter

Shigeki Adachi,

Outstanding.

The drum tracks grabbed me immediately. I've never heard that one - so thanks for "showing it to us".

The bass sits nicely along side the drum track. The vocals sit well in the mix. The synths are at a perfect level. An excellent mix.

Very well done. I enjoyed the listen.

fj

Wow - this is stunning! The mix is absolutely flawless, as others have mentioned. I love how moody and dark the backing tracks are. It sounds very modern, and really showcases just how versatile Band-in-a-Box can be.

I thoroughly enjoyed my listen - amazing work as always! Thanks for sharing

Well done Shigeki, this was wonderful! Excellent mixdown on all of this and I really dug the chord progression. Fantastic work on the vocals. Well done!

You have made nice selection of instruments for this haunting movie soundtrack type of piece, definitely has that fateful Bond style melancholy which the vocal track interprets nicely. Kalimba and the electric guitar create perfect athmosphere.

Janne

Bond was the first thing in my mind!! Very beautiful melody, and gorgeous mix!! I would like to hear a real singer do it. Love the song!! Take care. Greg

Excellent song Shigiki. I also got the James Bond vibe as well. Your music is always so well done and dramatic. This quality of the bix and productions really stuck out for me on this. Guitar was just excellent. Well done...

Bob,

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune.
And many thanks for your attention to the mix and the vocaloid.

Shigeki Adachi

Excellent song - had a late 60s spy movie theme feel to it.
The vocaloid is really good though there are some points at which the voice eiother distorts a little or get bit crushed and grating.
The choice of guitar solo is inspired - really runs against expectations and achieves maximum impact as a result. Naturally the solo over the outro isn't quite as exciting but it works a treat.
Have you listened to The Last Shadow Puppets? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGV8xCkpXjE

Excellent work, excellent.

This is outstanding! Very very nice! I agree with other comments...luxurious, shades of Bond, great use of vocaloid, and the surprising guitar solo totally works...totally! Awesome!

Superb track, Shigeki! A pleasant, challenging and haunting rhythm... with a great chord progression... it went right into my heart. Really liked your idea with this song.

I'll take a second listen now... your track deserves it.. it is that good!!!

Edit after listening again: I think a fade out would have been a better ending (with a wild guitar solo).

Will

Hi Shigeki Adachi,

This is so very, very impressive to listen to. All I could think of was...



Everything about this composition is inventive... it's a masterpiece!

The mood that you produce with your arrangement is truly spectacular. The opening makes me feel like I'm in the middle of a James Bond spy movie... the tension that you continually create and resolve with such musical precision is a huge credit to your arranging skills.

I really, really enjoyed listening to this.

All the best,
Noel

Hi again Shigeki,

If possible I think you should post this song on YouTube with the words "Miku" and "vocaloid" in the title.

Vocaloid-tracks tend to be viewed by quite a lot of people, but to be honest most of the songs are just covers or/and sound bad. Your song could be one of the best made with Miku and you will get a lot of viewers I am sure.

Just a suggestion.
Will

Wow! This has a great sound. The mix is spot on, nice and full, like you would want and electronic pop song to be. Love the choral background, too!

Steve

Yes, very Bond film like. How cool!

And this might be the first electronic pop song we've heard with a guitar solo. Maybe you can start a trend!!! Guitars are nearly absent in pop music nowadays.

So well done. Great use of the vocaloid and the mix sounds huge and great on our monitors.

And an excellent write and arrangement.

Well done!!!

Thank you very much for taking the time to comment several times.
And thanks a lot for listening this tune many times

Thank you for recommending posting to YouTube.
Posting to YouTube requires animation, so it's quite a hurdle for me.
However, I have tried a few posts with one of my friends who are good at animation in the past.
Below are the links of them.
Please watch them if you like.

Janice & Bud,

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune.
Yes, I use the same chord progression as Bond's theme.
Certainly I also think the guitar doesn't suit the electronic pop.
But I didn't hit a proper interlude, so I just turned to the RealTracks solo.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.

Best regards.
