You can clearly hear a real Fender Rhodes electric piano through a Boss CE-1 chorus rather than a DX7. It sounds like classic Tokyo City Pop session players -- think Tatsuro Yamashita or Casiopea rhythm sections. Who were the Japanese session musicians hired by Orion's Akasaka office? -- Ines Hughes "Hold for relay."
