Summary of lyrics:

It seems like a child to believe a fairy tale
But someone whispered close to my ear
It was a little angel with small wings who still looked like an apprentice
And he told me that he would give his help for me to get love

I will fully dress up and go to the party tonight
That boy who is my true intention is surely supposed to come.
I'm good at dancing and both hair and makeup look perfect on me
I will seduce him with this extremely short miniskirt

But why did you make a mistake, my angel?
You shot the other person
The silver arrow you struck hit the boy
Who was standing next to the boy I had aimed

The boy stuck with the arrow soon came close to me friendly
And he spoke to me frankly with a gentle face
But he took a quick look at my legs
He must be a bad boy, it’s your blame, my angel

What a naughty angel
Why did you deliberately miss the target?
No, I am sure you must know properly
That he would become a best partner for me

My mischievous cupid of small wings,
Now I want you to be the guardian for our love
If he is looking at someone else but me
Please tell me quickly with keeping it secret from him, my angel
This is just between you and me

Shigeki,

Everything about this is so good. All of the instrumentation fits together and compliments each other so well. Love the melody and the vocalist has a beautiful voice.

I totally enjoyed this. Thx for sharing.

Excellent! Really expert use of style and the real tracks. Very solid composition, using the foundation of the rock style with layers of harmonic interest. I was especially impressed by the lyrics—There is a special skill when one can write a sensible-sounding lyric for the opposite gender—This can be very difficult! I also like the contrast between the music for the versus compared to the theme for the chorus. Beautifully scored over all including the use of the live performers. Outstanding, Shigeki!

Awesome changeup Shigeki. Very cool song. The backtrack was excellent. Super vocal.. I just love symphony music in rock songs. Brings up memorys of Procal Harem that played with the Edmonton Symphony. Guitar was very cool as well

Shigeki,

A opening that fits the "Furious" style, very good vocals as always by Yoko, and I think that`s the first time I`ve heard one of your band play lead guitar- nice!
The icing for me is the big string arrangement which takes a good rock song into Symphonic Pop.
Good luck in the competition!

The intro guitar solos set this apart. Classic tone & style.
The song is a wonderful piece of fun and the strings really sound just right for the hybrid style.


Cheers

Shigeki Adachi,

Very dynamic rock piece. The strings and lead guitar play against each other perfectly throughout. Nice movement all along.

Terrific arrangement and excellent mix.

Yoko's vocal is excellent.

This sounds like a theme song from a James Bond movie...

Like floyd said it sounds like a Bond movie theme.

The vocals, guitar, strings and arrangement are tremendous. It's hard to imagine the amount of talent and effort it took to produce this.

Congrats to everybody involved.

Excellent!!!!

Starts like any famous Bond theme. Then melody, chording and orchestration is like straight from France's Eurovision Song Contest entry in the 70's. And on top of this your superb arrangement, orchestration + rocking guitars is a great combination, the solo is excellent. Fantastic approach and great vocals, sounds like a big classic hit to me. good like to the contest!

Hello, Tom

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune.
And many thanks for your comment to my lyrics.
Writing the lyrics for the opposite gender is certainly difficult, but as almost all of my songs are written for female vocalists, I must prepare such lyrics by all means.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.

Best regards.

Hello, Robert

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.
I am always indebted to Yamaha teachers in our live recording, but since I do not often record rock-like songs, this guitar performance may have been unusual.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.

Best regards.

Shigeki,

Floyd said exactly what I was thinking. A James Bond Movie came to mind after just 10 seconds. The strings and guitar lead gave this a whole new dimension. And Yoko sounds fabulous (she always does). The mix is perfect. What a BIG SOUND!

Kudos for as terrific song!
