The lead line is built from 1 saw + 1 pulse, PWM sweep, cut lp 12 db/oct near 5520 Hz with the filter slow filter opening over the intro, settles by the verse; it sits on top of the arrangement carrying the vocal-answering hook. Written for Nakamori's 1986 album Crimson; gear and style approximated from the album's documented production (arranger/producer credits: Shiro Sagisu and others; period gear: Yamaha DX7, Fairlight CMI IIx, Roland Jupiter-8 and an early Roland D-50).
