This is a new song titled "Visiting Beautiful Kyoto." It is of Japanese style. The instrumental version and the vocal version are in one song. https://soundcloud.com/hirokata1121/visiting-beautiful-kyotoIt is a kind of the sister work of my previous post "Invitation to Impressive Scenery". I originally made this song more than a year ago. This time, I fully reviewed it, added the vocal part with Japanese lyrics written by me, and made it reborn as a new song. I hope you like it. Its video version is on Youtube. The pictures of beautiful scenes in Kyoto are on it. https://youtu.be/XigvST7nlX0Japanese lyrics and its English translation are also available there (on video and in comment). *** Song Summary *** First part (Instrumental):Key=C, Tempo 80 Style: PNOMOOD2.STY (PianoMood2 -Gentle Soundtrack st) Second part (Japanese vocal):Key=A, Tempo 80 Style: ARPORK34.STY (Orchestral arpeggio 3/4) Vocal: Mew (Vocaloid) Sonar X3 was used for assignment of VSTi instruments to MIDI tracks and final tuning of the song.

I gave a listen over morning mud.... The very sweet vocaloid voice worked quite well over the gorgeous imagery. The music also works very well and not understanding Japanese makes the vocal mysterious and very mesmerizing.  Keeping good command of English may be enough of a challenge for me but if there was a free translation/lesson site I'd probably give it some use. Beautifully done....yes...I like it. Good luck with your goals.

Hiroshi, the video version really brought out the song. With the mixture of your song and all the images from Kyoto it makes for a very beautiful view and pleasant listen. Mew was the icing on the cake. I enjoyed it.

Thank you for your comment. I am glad you like the voice of Mew. I myself like her voice as well because it is so natural and beautiful. I think the vocaloid voice fits quite well to the song like this; its tempo is slow and melody line is simple (i.e. fewer notes) and then each note is long enough to emphasize phonetic characteristics of Japanese. The music also works very well and not understanding Japanese makes the vocal mysterious and very mesmerizing. I think I can understand what you mean very well
Keeping good command of English may be enough of a challenge for me but if there was a free translation/lesson site I'd probably give it some use.
Good challenge! Maybe there are some. I am afraid, however, in this specific case, it might be difficult to use them because I used classical style language like most of lyrics before 70's, which is so much different from spoken languages.
Beautifully done....yes...I like it.
Good luck with your goals.
Thank you again. Hiroshi

Sonny Sonny, Thank you for your kind comment. I put most of my effort to writing lyrics, tune up Mew and making a video. Thanks to your comment, I am now confident that all these efforts were meaningful. Hiroshi

Hi ...
Such a beautiful song! And the scenery in the video was stunning. This is excellent ... we totally loved it from beginning to end.
In February and March of 1966, I spent three weeks in Osaka and Tokyo. I was taken in by the scenery then, as we were in this video. Very beautiful! Thanks for the song and the video.

Alan & Di Hi Alan & Di, Thank you for your comment. I am so happy that you enjoyed my music and especially my video. Since I was born, I have lived in the areas in or around Tokyo. Nevertheless, I love Kyoto better than Tokyo. It is absolutely a place to visit. You can enjoy its beauty anytime of the year and anywhere there. I am happy that I could share the beauty of Kyoto with you. I must say, however, it represents just a very small part of it. If you have another chance to come to Japan, please do not forget to visit Kyoto. Again, thank you for listening to my song and viewing my video. Hiroshi

Very pretty. The vocal worked very well with
your fine production.
We both enjoyed it. Sounds great on our monitors.
We look forward to streaming the video this evening
on a bigger screen.
Nice.

Rob & Anne-Marie Hi Rob & Anne-Marie, Thank you for your comment. I am glad you like my new song. As a matter of fact, this work was inspired by your kind comment to my previous song "Invitation to Impressive Scenery"; taking up the beauty of Kyoto as its theme, making the video version and so on. I appreciate it very much. Hiroshi

Hiroshi,
Sitting here at my computer and listening to "Beautiful Kyoto" was the best 5 minutes I've spent today. Your creation is outstanding... the arrangement is truly beautiful and Mew is mesmerising.
I enjoyed my musical and visual journey a great deal.
Regards,
Noel

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
