notes
The low end is a 1 square -1, PWM synth bass carrying the song's root movement, filtered lp 24 db/oct around 260 Hz so it stays taut rather than boomy; a short, punchy amp envelope. Written for Nakamori's 1989 album Cruise; gear and style approximated from the album's documented production (arranger/producer credits: Satoshi Takebe; period gear: Roland D-50, Yamaha DX7II/TX816, Akai S900 sampler, Roland R-8 drum machine).
