notes
"23rd Monster" is an uptempo Avex dance-pop cut; this is the synth bass line, credited to Kazuhiro Hara, approximated from modern software production: Serum/Vital leads, Omnisphere and Kontakt orchestral pads, Arturia V Collection for vintage rompler and analogue emulations. The waveform stack and filter envelope are set to sit under Hamasaki's vocal without crowding it.
