The vocal is lovely and the student performances were beautiful.
Your additions, the arrangement and the mix are outstanding.
And the lyric is perfect.
No doubt this composition took a lot of thought and effort.
Every minute of it was worth it.
Merry Christmas!

Perfect music for a Christmas night! Such a gentle song, not pretentious like many festive songs, but with a real feel and true emotions, excellent sentimental lyrics. The vocalist is superb with beautiful, expressive and skillful voice. And the string orchestra is true pleasure to listen to, it sounds professional, far away from amateurish in my ears. Oboe is one of the most beautiful sounding instruments and they way you have used it here is very touching. Fantastic work in every detail  Janne

Kon'nichiwa Shigeki Adachi-san
Your talent seems to know no limit. As I listened to this, I kept thinking just how amazing it is that you can take a recording from 25 years ago and use it as the basis of such and amazing piece of music. Takako's vocals are outstanding. Honestly, the talented people that surround you (and this includes you) are incredible. Since the strings were recorded so long ago, it seems to me that music has always been a valuable part of you life.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening. Whenever I hear your music, it inspires me to be a better composer and arranger.
All the very best,
--Noel

Noel,

I am grateful to my wonderful teacher (who passed away four years ago) for the rigorous guidance I received from him at the Yamaha composition and arrangement class during my university days, which proved really useful to me later in my life.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.

Hi, Shigeki. If you hadn't mentioned that string players weren't pros I wouldn't have listened so closely to them!  Lovely song, I'm glad you did a remix. It sounds great!

David(Cuny),
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune.
No matter how much people love music, I think most people hesitate to choose to go to a music college.
That's why there are many students who are good at playing strings in amateur orchestras at regular universities.
I had the help of these students in making this recording.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi
