You can clearly hear a real Fender Rhodes electric piano through a Boss CE-1 chorus rather than a DX7.

That's the genius of the Akasaka singles. The music is smiling and sunny, but her lyrics are still about carrier waves and locked doors. -- Camila Vasiliev "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."
