One of my favourite songs ever, and perfectly rendered with your voice!!! 😍❤️😻

[@Minakosings]

Thank you for your pleasant comment!

[@philtang7111]

Minako. So Beautiful! The microphone seems to perform better at a closer distance. I noticed you almost always sit farther away from the mic, as I re-watched many of your other releases. This recording sounds more vivid. The sound is more rich and nuanced. You might re-visit this approach in your next release. In any case, looking forward to the next song. Thank you!

[@Minakosings]

Your suggestion is great! The closer the voice is to the mic, the better the lower frequencies of the voice will sound. You made me realize something important in recording🎙Thank you, Phil!
