notes
For a sustained pad/string layer under the arrangement on "Mimosa" (a non-album single), credited to Avex's in-house arranging team: patch approximated from modern software production: Serum/Vital leads, Omnisphere and Kontakt orchestral pads, Arturia V Collection for vintage rompler and analogue emulations. Modulation is kept track-appropriate for a mid-tempo J-pop track, treated with the fx chain noted above.
