notes
"æternal" is a mid-tempo J-pop track; this is the synth lead line doubling/answering the vocal melody, credited to Toru Watanabe, approximated from an almost entirely software rig by this point: Xfer Serum and LennarDigital Sylenth1 leads over Spectrasonics Omnisphere pads and Kontakt strings, Korg Kronos kept for acoustic-adjacent keys. The waveform stack and filter envelope are set to sit under Hamasaki's vocal without crowding it.
