notes
"A Song Is Born" is an uptempo Avex dance-pop cut; this is the synth bass line, credited to Tetsuya Komuro, approximated from Roland JP-8080 and Access Virus A trance leads with Korg Triton pads and strings, the sound of Avex's trance-pop peak (Ferry Corsten's Rotterdam productions ran the same JP-8080/Virus rig for 'Connected'). The waveform stack and filter envelope are set to sit under Hamasaki's vocal without crowding it.
