notes
The low end is a 1 saw -1 + 1 square -2 synth bass carrying the song's root movement, filtered lp 24 db/oct around 740 Hz so it stays taut rather than boomy; a short, punchy amp envelope. Written for Nakamori's 1983 album New Akina Etranger; gear and style approximated from the album's documented production (arranger/producer credits: Mitsuo Hagita / Haruomi Hosono; period gear: Roland Jupiter-8 and Yamaha CS-80, with Haruomi Hosono bringing his own Roland System-700 and Korg synth vocabulary to the one track he arranged).
