notes
The low end is a 1 square -1, PWM synth bass carrying the song's root movement, filtered lp 24 db/oct around 720 Hz so it stays taut rather than boomy; a short, punchy amp envelope. Written for Nakamori's 1985 album D404ME; gear and style approximated from the album's documented production (arranger/producer credits: Akira Inoue; period gear: Yamaha DX7 layered with a Fairlight CMI, Roland Jupiter-8 bass, Simmons drums).
