My orchestral arrangement of Yvette Young's song Tender from her Acoustics 2 EP.
(Almost) All mockup sounds come from Spitfire BBC Symphony Orchestra.
Thank you @yvetteyoungmusic for writing such wonderful music!
Special thanks to my friend Kiran for listening to all of the drafts along the way :)

This is a bit of a video “literature review” of modern Japanese music that I like to find out what chord progressions are common in this music. Hopefully you can use them to access the modern Japanese sound in your next composition.
これは現代の日本の音楽のしたビデオの「文学レビュー」で、私はこの音楽でどのようなコードが普通であるかを知りたいのです。皆さんは次の作曲で現代の日本の音にアクセスするためにそれらを使用することができます。
