notes
A sustained pad of 3 saw slow-swell unison washes under the track, lp 24 db/oct filtered with a slow LFO breathing the cutoff, giving the chorus its width. Written for Nakamori's 1984 album Anniversary; gear and style approximated from the album's documented production (arranger/producer credits: Ichizō Seo; period gear: Yamaha DX7 (newly ubiquitous in 1984 Japanese studios), Roland Juno-106 and a LinnDrum).
