notes
For the synth lead line doubling/answering the vocal melody on "W" (Trouble), credited to Kazuhiro Hara: patch 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. Modulation is kept track-appropriate for a mid-tempo J-pop track, treated with the fx chain noted above.
