Hi Shigeki,
professional arrangement! Especially the strings at the beginning. The vocals sound authentic to me. Could be Portuguese as well. Very enjoyable listen.

Hey Shigeki, after the french pop style, the argentinian tango ! What a Wonderful playing and orchestration ! About the vocal, I guess Guenter would say rather "Spanish" Cheers Pascal

Hello, Guenter, Pat and Pascal
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. Very very kind words. I am so glad. Studying European languages is very hard. But I would like to try to write lyrics in foreign languages some day. I will post music of other genre next time again.
Best Regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Hi Shigeki Adachi,
This is FANTASTIC!!!! I absolutely love the dramatic intensity of the opening. It made me sit up straight in my chair! You have really excelled yourself with orchestrating this.
I compliment your singer/lyricist too. He has an excellent voice and it's very well suited to this.
What I like most is that you've shown us all just how versatile midi can be in the hands of a competent musician.
Overall... very classy, very enjoyable, thoroughly entertaining!
All the best, Noel

Hello, David, Greg, Noel, Leo, floyed and Bob
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I always much appreciate your very very kind words. Though my vocalist this time is a dancer, I also think he is a good singer.
Bob, this lyrics are not so tragic. The story of this song is that a man of the drunkard is teased by a woman of the tavern. Thank you again to all.
Best Regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
