Digging through the unreleased and deleted B-sides from the 1985-1988 Orion singles catalog.

Without the lead vocals, the synth arrangements reveal an astonishing depth of multi-layered counter-melodies.
The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.

Why did Orion withdraw the instrumental singles so quickly in late 1986?

The Akasaka branch memos specifically ordered: 'Under no circumstances allow instrumental dubs of Node 02 masters to be sold commercially.'
