As others have said, that ascending 5th is firmly linked with James Bond scores - not a bad thing for a song that sounds big. Great playing, strong singing and excellent orchestration! Strong chorus. I will seduce him with this extremely short miniskirtHa!  Hilarious lyric, great guitar solo. The only nit I've got is the electric guitar never seems to stop playing, even at the chorus. But that's really minor - this song is a really, really good.

This pops along mightily. Excellent structure and arrangement. J-pop to the bone. Wonderful singing too.

Shieki,
This is very well done. Like has been said, I could here this in a Bond film. Great arrangement. Everything works.

Shigeki Adachi,
The opening of this reminded me of 'The Avengers', a British TV show from the 60s.
This is incredible composing and arranging. You certainly have a finely tuned ear for how to mix sounds together for the best possible outcome. From start to finish, I was with you all the way. At the end, I felt like I'd run a marathon! It was so jam-packed with energy and the feeling of action.
Also, Yoko's singing was excellent!
I thoroughly enjoyed this.
All the best,
Noel

Hello, floyd
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune, the vocalist and the guitarist.
As David Cuny mentioned, it is right that ascending 5th is firmly linked with James Bond scores.
However, the chord progression has been changed a little as described below.
Bond's theme
< Im -Im#5 - Im6 - Im#5 - Im -Im#5 - Im6 - Im#5>
This tune
< Im -Im#5 -Im#5 - Im6 - Im6 - Im7 - Im7 -Immaj7>
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.

Hello, Janne Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I am really glad you like this tune, the vocalist and the guitarist. Yes, you are right. The melody, chording and orchestration is like straight from France's Eurovision Song Contest entry in the 60's and 70's. I love French Pops in the 60's and 70's very much. I wrote this song based on France Gall's "Poupee De Cire, Poupee De Son" written by Serge Gainsbourg. (Youtube link below) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5aeeSmkPwQI am always very encouraged by your kind words. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Hello, Noel Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I am really glad you like this tune. I much appreciate your nice words to Yoko's vocal. This song was originally written for a different vocalist, but it was reborn by Yoko. As I like the ascending 5th chord progressions, I have often used them. But it seems that they are also reminiscent of spy movies by all means, I would like to use them carefully in the future. I love French Pops in the 60's and 70's very much as I wrote to Janne. I wrote this song based on France Gall's "Poupee De Cire, Poupee De Son" written by Serge Gainsbourg. (Youtube link below) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5aeeSmkPwQI am always very encouraged by your kind words. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi
