notes
The lead line is built from 2 saw +7 cents, cut lp 12 db/oct near 1940 Hz with the filter quick pluck-open on the attack, closes into the sustain; it sits on top of the arrangement carrying the vocal-answering hook. Written for Nakamori's 1986 album Fushigi; gear and style approximated from the album's documented production (arranger/producer credits: Akina Nakamori (self-produced) with session arrangers; period gear: Yamaha DX7 and a Fairlight CMI IIx, Roland Juno-106, Oberheim DMX drum machine).
