notes
"Startin'" is an uptempo Avex dance-pop cut; this is the synth lead line doubling/answering the vocal melody, credited to Kazuhiro Hara, approximated from Yamaha Motif ES/XS workstations, Nord Lead 2/3 leads and Access Virus TI, Avex's rock-leaning mid-2000s rig. The waveform stack and filter envelope are set to sit under Hamasaki's vocal without crowding it.
