notes
The lead line is built from 1 square + 1 saw, hard sync feel, cut lp 12 db/oct near 2940 Hz with the filter gentle bow-in as the note sustains; 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).
