notes
The lead line is built from 3 saw unison stack, cut lp 12 db/oct near 3600 Hz with the filter opens sharply then decays with the amp envelope; it sits on top of the arrangement carrying the vocal-answering hook. 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).
