notes
The low end is a 2 saw -1 unison, tight synth bass carrying the song's root movement, filtered lp 24 db/oct around 220 Hz so it stays taut rather than boomy; a short, punchy amp envelope. Written for Nakamori's 1984 album Possibility; gear and style approximated from the album's documented production (arranger/producer credits: Ichizō Seo; period gear: Yamaha DX7, Roland Juno-106 and Jupiter-8, LinnDrum).
