Ok, this was awesome! Top notch song ALL the way around. The writing, the movement of the instruments, the tensions and releases, melodic interplay...wow!

What a great vocal as well! Tell Natsuki she has a BIG fan in the States! smile

Also, I especially like the instrumental break at 1:46. Very, very nice.

The only thing I would change is the number of times I've heard it so far. wink I will be listening to this many times.

REALLY great job!

Very nice. A certain style, here, both cultured
with broad appeal, direct to the emotions.
I came across Myanmar Gospel music about five
years ago and follow it as closely as possible.
Two distinct countries, for sure, but see if
there are not some shared things:

Hello, edshaw

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune.
I am very encouraged by your kind words.

I watched youtube video you introduced to me.
You feel something oriental in my song, though I have not noticed it so much so far.
It is a new discovery for me.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi:
Thank you for commenting. I am not certain
how to express what I have heard in the two examples.
My listening taste is influenced by music
I hear over media, not so much in live venues, these days.
As you probably know, if American producers feel there
is a niche, or market, for a certain sound, they will find
a way to produce it. Americans are subjected to a lot
of what might be termed, "experiments."
In your song, Natsuki Yoshikawa would seem to appeal
to upscale listeners of refined or cosmopolitan taste.
In my example, Akuk is working in contemporary
Christian music for all ages.
Americans, especially the youth, have an ongoing affinity
for rebellious behavior. I understand that is not the fashion
in Myanmar, maybe a little more in Japan, but certainly
nothing to the extent as in the USA.
Another observation -- while the western musicians appear
to work to excite the audiences, emotionally, the Oriental
artists, not so much.

Stunning tune . . . just beautiful in all aspects . . . vocal, melody, production. Great use of the orchestra. Felt like I was on Broadway listening to this. Just brilliant.

My very humble regards,
