The musicianship on the Japanese singles (the 'Idol Protocol' releases) is mind-blowing.

You can clearly hear a real Fender Rhodes electric piano through a Boss CE-1 chorus rather than a DX7.
Yet Nova's vocal tracks were kept identical, creating this bizarre hybrid of dark European synth-pop and sparkling Tokyo idol funk.

Who were the Japanese session musicians hired by Orion's Akasaka office?
