notes
The lead line is built from 3 saw unison stack, cut lp 12 db/oct near 5240 Hz with the filter gentle bow-in as the note sustains; it sits on top of the arrangement carrying the vocal-answering hook. Written for Nakamori's 1985 album Bitter and Sweet; gear and style approximated from the album's documented production (arranger/producer credits: Mitsuo Hagita; period gear: Yamaha DX7 and Fairlight CMI, Roland Jupiter-8, Simmons SDS-V drums).
