notes
"W" is a mid-tempo J-pop track; this is a sustained pad/string layer under the arrangement, credited to Kazuhiro Hara, 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.
