Hello, forum friends Here is my second submission for Xtra Styles PAK 5 Song Contest. The category is Country. This song was written about 20 years ago, Recently I happened to find the individual vocal track of this song when searching the music folders of my old computers. So, I remade it with Xtra Styles PAK 5 for the submission this time. It is a story of junior high school girls. Title: コンサートの帰り道 (Translation: On the way home from the concert) Vocal: TAKAKO, our local jazz vocalist Link; https://soundcloud.com/animarorecords/on-the-way-home-from-the-concertStyle is _EARLYHR.STY (Early Hour Americana PS Ballad) RealTracks in style: 366:Bass, Electric, Country Ev 065 RealTracks in style: 2879:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm AmericanaSparseSlow16thsColin Ev16 060 RealTracks in style: 2878:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm AmericanaSlow16thsBrent Ev16 060 (Followings are deleted) RealTracks in style: 2542:Pedal Steel, Background ModernBalladAtmosphere Ev16 065 RealDrums in Style: AmericanaRoots16th^01-a:Toms, b:Snare Additional Tracks RealTracks in style: 3025:Vocal Oohs, Background Pop3-partFemale1 Ev 085 (1TrackVocalSection) RealTracks in style: 3027:Vocal Oohs, Background Pop3-part Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 3027:Vocal Oohs, Background Pop3-part Ev 085(Doubled) PanFlute played with EastWest Goliath Summary of lyrics: The last song was over but our cheeks are still hot We feel somewhat lonely and sometimes we are quiet How do you think where we will be after ten years, my friends? I wonder if we all are becoming pretty after ten years Soon tomorrow comes again and we say "Good morning" The chime of the start-up rings as usual time Someone rewrites the date of the corner of the blackboard I like one of my classmates but maybe we will not become more than friends The stars of the night sky we look up will not change forever I wish we can smile with glitter forever We walk praying on the way home below the starry night This road continues to each heart of us I will not forget the warmth of the hands we connect I wish we all can go forward with our current feelings kept

Hi Shigeki,
This is very pretty! Takako has such a lovely voice. You are fortunate to have her. This is very Pop-ish country. It's such a nice listen - I really enjoyed this! Good luck in the contest!

Crisp, clean, quality, masterfully produced and mixed.
It's always excellent to get exposure to real perfection.
This production is no exception.

I really admire your ability to create such innocent and romantic musical landscapes. Very beautiful vocals, touching lyrics and great arrangement, those guitars have nice mournful sound that suits the melancholy mood of this song.

Shigeki, I totally agree! Everything you do is of such a high level, we have come to expect that each time we listen and you never disappoint! Thanks, Torrey
I'm a peripheral visionary! I can see the future but only way off to the sides! SW

Shigeki,
Its always a pleasure listening to your music and Takako has such a warm engaging voice. The melody flows and use of the Americana tracks works well on the ballad you brought back to life.
The pan flute at the close added a nice touch.
Very enjoyable!
Robert

I've only been a member of this forum for a week or so, but through my browsing of old threads I've already learned one thing: If I see a song uploaded by you it is a "MUST listen to" signal to me, because what you do is always of such a high quality!
I applaud you!
Will

Hello, Alan
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune and the vocalist.
I am aware that I have no feeling of country.
However, I try it somehow this time.

Hello, Janne
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune and the vocalist.
I much appreciate your comment to the lyrics.
These lyrics were written by a colleague of the company I had worked for before.
The lyricist is a woman.
I think that these lyrics can not be written by male lyricists after all.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi
