My gosh!!!! This is such an impressive song and you sing it incredibly well.



I love the relaxed style of your vocals. There’s a hint of jazz in your presentation that I like a great deal.

While I don’t speak Japanese, I can hear that you’ve put a lot of effort into choosing words that flow from syllable to syllable. The language sounds that I’m hearing fit so well to the melody and glide so nicely from note to note.

Also as I listened, it seemed like the words you chose ended mostly with vowel sounds. Is this by design or do Japanese words end mostly in vowels?

As I was trying to work out what song your tribute was dedicated to, I narrowed it down to “Yesterday,” “Yesterday Once More” and “Yesterday When I Was Young.” I eliminated “Yesterday Once More” and then couldn’t decide between the other two. I was fooled by the hint of a French sound in your arrangement. As is often the case when I listen to your songs, Francis Lai and Paul Mauriat music came into my mind. This was why I thought that you might have dedicated this song to “Yesterday When I Was Young.”

That’s when I cheated. I scrolled down and found out it was “Yesterday”! Because I know that the melody of Yesterday’s A-sections is 7 bars long, I listened closely to what you did. I was impressed. At the seventh bar, you added a pause on all instruments. This gave a hint eight bars of music without destroying the feeling of seven bars of melody. From my point of view, that alone is worth a round of applause.



I really, really enjoyed listening to this composition.

All the best,
Noel

P.S. Congratulations to the Yamaha guitar students, too. His playing was great!

Wishing you the best.

Noel,

I think you are just like Agatha Christie in music.
You see through the musical composition tricks I've set up one after another.

Regarding Japanese, all Japanese words end in vowels.
Rather, all Japanese syllables consist of a combination of one consonant and one vowel or one vowel only.
So the first line of the lyrics is written in alphabets as follows.
"i - tsu - da - ro - o, a - i - sa - re - te - i - ta - no - wa"
If you want to know more about Japanese pronunciation, please see the link below.

I am always very encouraged by your kind words.

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."
