Notes

Studio recording, 1991. Guitarist Sawao Yamanaka is known to use a Fender Cyclone with a P-Rail in the bridge and a Fender Twin Reverb amp, as mentioned in forum discussions. The Orange 4x12 cab is also referenced. No direct studio documentation for this specific song, but this matches the era and band setup.
