Hello, everybody Here is my submission for the Xtra Styles PAK 3 Song Contest. This song was written about 4 years ago, I remade it with Xtra Styles PAK 3 for the submission this time. Any comments encouraged. Have at it. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi Title: Sandy Beach - Fragment of Summer – Vocal: Natsuki Yoshikawa, our local female jazz vocalist Link; https://soundcloud.com/animarorecords/sandy-beach-fragment-of-summerStyle is _ALLEYS [Alleys Electro Bossa Soul Rhythm] Janre: Jazz 3 RealTracks in style: ~921:Bass, Acoustic, Bossa Ev 110 RealTracks in style: 920:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Rumba Ev 110 RealTracks in style: 2818:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm GospelSoul8thsBrent Ev16 110 Loop in Song: House-Techno-Trance/House - crunchy_120_drums ev16.wav RealDrums: RealDrums in Style: BossaRockFull^2-a:Brushes , b:HiHat Guitar Solo: 2817:Guitar, Electric, Soloist SmoothSoulFast16thsBrent Ev16 110 Additional Harp, Glockenspiel and 4 part Strings played with EastWest Symphonic Orchestra scored by me Summary of lyrics: Fragments of the sea are carried by the wind I brushed the windshield of my car The dry sand dropped to the ground Together with my affair in this summer I have been always close to you But now you are leaving me I wish the change of both our mind must happen At the same time or at least the same night The season will not return anymore My memories will fade away But I don’t know if the day will come When I can accept this good-bye Hot sand lasts to the place Where the waves roll in and out I do not have enough courage To get barefoot and run to the sand I will forget even your name I will send my memories of you away But I wish the day would come true someday When I could come across someone resembling you I got caught in a traffic jam of the people Who would return home from the sea Their laughter echoes loudly I feel such dusk is really sad

Excellent!
As always Natsuki's vocal is tremendous as is the RT choice and the mix. The choice of solo guitar works very well.
Your additions to the RT's fit in perfectly and add to the overall lush sound.
The sand metaphors in the lyric are very effective.
Nice!

Shigeki Adachi,
A truly outstanding melody.
The vocal by Natsuki Yoshikawa is gorgeous.
The production and mix have a truly professional sound.
Beautiful strings (as always). The percussion and guitar solo are nice additions...
A great listen.

Such a wonderful track! I feel like J-Pop doesn't get the recognition it deserves overseas. Keep up the great work guys!

Shigeki Adachi
You continue to deliver wonderful musical expressiveness, and this always seems to start from the very first note.
There's no warming to your music, there's instant attraction.
Natsuki continues to deliver outstanding vocals.
You've provided another masterpiece. Wishing you great luck with your contribution.

Hello, Rob, Janice & Bud, Deryk, Scott, floyd, Dani, Ember, Trevor, Tom and Kenny
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I much appreciate always your very kind words and continuous supports.
And many thanks for your really nice comments to my composition, Natsuki's vocal.
The original arrangement of this tune was orthodox Latin music, but I found a perfect one from the Xtra Styles PAK 3, so I remade it this time.
Janice & Bud,
Many thanks for your comment to the lyrics.
The lyrics were written by Chisato, a female lyricist belonging to the amateur lyricist group named "Escargot" with deep interaction with our music circle.
We are constantly making a lot of works jointly.
This song is one of them.
Ember,
Many thanks for your comment to J-Pop.
Thanks again to all.
Best regards,
Shigeki Adachi

Shigeki Adachi,
This is absolutely superb music!
Magnificent orchestration is one of the signatures of your music and you definitely do not disappoint with this one. You've arranged the song in such a way that it captures the imagination and sails the listener along a splendid river of sound. I really enjoyed where you took me. As always, Natsuki Yoshikawa's singing sparkles like diamonds!
This is a terrific listen!
All the best,
Noel

Hello, Janne, Noel and Peter Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I much appreciate your very very kind words and your continuous supports. I am very glad you all like this tune, Natsuki's vocal and my orchestration. I learned this orchestration manner combined with harp and cascade strings from the music of Paul Mauriat, French arranger. Following is YouTube link of the song I learnt as an example of orchestration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iels0UVv7fEThanks again to all. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Hello, Sergio
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I much appreciate your very very kind words and your continuous supports.
I often heard Italian Canzone like Milva, Gianni Morandi and etc., in my childhood.
And Ennio Morricone is one of my favorite composers.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi
