Absolutely fantastic melody and so very well moved along with a superbly strong chord progression. Great talent. Your singer delivers the emotion of the lyric very well. As I hear/read it, it is sweetly funny in parts, and builds heat as it goes.
The live version overall edges forward to me. It's a wonderful use of BIAB to produce lines that can be copied and embellished. I like this a lot.

Hi Shigeki Adachi, What a terrific piece of music and stunning arrangement! It's "thumbs up" from me.  I listened to both versions and each one has worthy strengths. As floyd said, the bass in the MIDI version is excellent and the 'live' feel in the Yamaha Teachers version is mesmerising. Have you thought about doing a hybrid version that combines elements from both? As I listened to these productions, one thing that I know for sure... You are a brilliant arranger! I cannot even begin to imagine how you orchestrate these wonderful creations. They are superb! All the best, Noel

Very nice! Just a suggestion but you might want to upgrade your virtual synth/sax. I suggest the SWAM line. Great energy.

Hello, Shigeki  ... I listened to both productions of Love Lesson, and to be wholly truthful, Ms. Natsuki’s singing is so exciting, so thrilling as she reaches for, and grabs firmly onto each rung of the ladder of emotion she is climbing, that the music simply receded into the background, by no means entirely, of course, but enough to make the necessary room for the space that her voice couldn’t help but fill up. She is a powerful singer, the kind that makes me cheer her on as she performs. The Motown style is irresistible. The genre will never die. Your song captured all of its hand-clapping, toe-tapping musical power that was ‘kicked up a notch’ by the key modulations. It made the MIDI sound good and the live band sound better and brighter. The lyrics displayed on the song’s posting page are as sensual as bodies touching. - bluage -
"Music is what feelings sound like."-- borrowed from a Cakewalk Music Creator forum member, "Mamabear".
