Tom,

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
And many thanks for listening to the both versions.
I am really glad you like this tune and my chord progression.
My chord progressions are deeply influenced by Michel Legrand and Tom Jobim.
Also, the progression that resolves to IIImaj7 is an influence from "Un homme et une femme (The man and the woman)" of Francis Lai.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi
