I much appreciate your comment to the labels on my music. I agree with you. I should probably try to think various ways and put accurate labels. But I always put J-Pop on them. Because they are sung in Japanese, and we have no custom to divide music strictly by jenre. Most of the general popular songs in Japan are released as J-Pop.
Best regards.

Oh my gosh, Shigeki, this is so beautiful! Natsuki has a splendid and gorgeous voice!!
The quality of your music, in all respects, is totally professional sounding. You always amaze me with the quality of your music - the composition, arrangement, mixing and performance. It always a special treat to hear your music!
Wishing you the very best ...

What a beautiful song Shigeki. The vocal was very pretty. Such an elegant singer. The backtrack was absolutely stunning. This song just doesn't sound good it makes you feel good. Well done.

Revisit: Eyes on Success featuring PG Music Inc., Band-in-a-Box®, and the Updated JAWS Script
In the past, Eyes on Success featured an episode that discussed our company history and Band-in-a-Box® program with Tobin, our chief development officer, including how Band-in-a-Box® is even more accessible with the help of their JAWS screen reader scripts!

It's a great idea to pair the two episodes together!

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks
MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:
There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:
1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track

Review - Band-in-a-Box® 2023 for Windows is Overflowing with Features!
Dennis posted his very thorough Band-in-a-Box® review recently, where he dives into some of the new features added with version 2023: Sound-Guy's Band-in-a-Box Review
Read his thoughts on the Download & Install Manager, partial track regeneration, Playable RealTracks, Audio Editing, the addition of SynthMaster, the VST DAW Plugin, and more!
"Band-in-a-Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is, without negative connotation, a monster of a program. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. No DAW can do some of the things BIAB does, while BIAB can do a lot that DAWs do."
