notes
A sustained pad of 3 saw slow-swell unison washes under the track, lp 24 db/oct filtered with a slow LFO breathing the cutoff, giving the chorus its width. Written for Nakamori's 1983 album Fantasy; gear and style approximated from the album's documented production (arranger/producer credits: Mitsuo Hagita; period gear: Roland Jupiter-8 and Yamaha CS-80 (the DX7 was brand new in 1983 and only just entering Japanese studios)). Japanese title: アイツはジョーク.
