Watch out Ziti! &mdash 02/28/06 - 09:24:18 AM
Tadashi,

you already know what I think about this piece, and about your talent
and growth as a guitarist. I have a feeling you could master any
instrument you choose. But, let me say again how much I enjoyed this
piece, the lovely, funky bass, the 80s R&B feel, the warmth of this
beautiful song from Japan.

Tom,
I am the second guitar play in gb.
Next time, I want to advance a little more.

Moreover, ziti is a guitarist whom I love.
His guitar play is appealed to my spirit.

I wish to express my gratitude to the comment repeatedly.
Thank you very much.

the changes remind me of the tune "Just A Two Of Us" by Grover Washington and Bill Withers, one of my fgavorite tunes ever...

Yes, Ilya.
I like "Just A Two Of Us".
This melody looks like "Just A Two Of Us" that should be respected.
I reflect on.
I might have been a little thoughtless.
Grover Washington and Bill Withers is a great musician.

Mellow &mdash 02/28/06 - 07:03:59 PM
and groovy. Your guitar playing is very soulful and full of color. All of the instruments sound great and the production is crisp. You have a way with those drums too, making beats that are on the edge but not over the top. :-) Excellent work.

David,
I wish to express my gratitude for your pointing out even the detail.
The guitar changed the mike little by little.
Thank you very much.

...that photograph captures something of the great Todaiji Temple...

(I'm envious that you may have been able to visit there...)

You, Tadashi, manage to capture simple things through what seems to
be a clear mind and attention to detail.

To think that I used to think of you as a drum programmer primarily,
and then as a keyboard player... Now listen to your guitar playing!...

Ed

Did you take the photograph yourself?

Ed,
I wish to express my gratitude for your kind point.
Yes, I took the photograph by myself.
"Nigatsu-do. " there.
The flower was put on the passage that the seeing guest did not enter.
I saw the spirit of man who had decorated it.
Even if others are not looking, it want to keep cleanness.
My mind was washed.
A clean Buddhism spirit has come into view there.
It was also important that it was a field flower.

Beyond the normal track of love &mdash 03/07/06 - 06:29:41 AM
Sometimes romance spins with such seduction it looses its balance and
slides sideways into another dimension. Not in a bad way, literally, but a
profound way, metaphorically. The journey of this tune starts on "Jazz for
Late Night" sort of footing and then slides into something unique and
organic, no longer programmatic, and I felt the dizzy aspect of being a
lover and loosing control. Very cool. My favorite of all your tracks to
date.

Tobin,
You are a romanticist though I do not know your age.
"Man's smell" always does to your comment.
It is always honest, delicate, and it is powerless in time.
Pure, wonderful feelings are expressed.
By the way,
40 years old is called "It is not made to be puzzled" age in Japan.

grover washington &mdash 03/07/06 - 08:46:05 AM
i enjoyed this...but I think you've got the exact chord progression from
grover washington "just the two of us". this is probably bad form for
me to point this out, but maybe its helpful for you to know this.
respectfully. John

John,
Thank you from Carlisle and MA for the comment.
I wish to express my gratitude to you.
Yes. This song looks alike as you say.
I like "Just A Two Of Us".
Grover Washington and Bill Withers is a great musician.

This does sound a lot like... &mdash 03/10/06 - 03:50:27 AM
..."Just the two of us", but I can't see why that's anything else than a good
thing. That is a good song, and so is this!
The synth bass line in the beginning really grabbed me and pulled me in
for the whole ride. I'm really glad I took the ride.
Your guitarplaying is excellent, and at the middle of the piece I was
wondering where your trademark Tadashi-drums were. And then they
came.

Excellent work!

Moreover, I wish to express my gratitude for pointing it out for
my guitar.
