Notes

Studio recording for 'Re:Re: (2016 Rerecorded)'. Gear confirmed via Equipboard and photo evidence for Kensuke Kita, who plays the main riff. No explicit studio-only pedalboard photo, but live and studio rigs are consistent for this era. 2016 recording, not original 2004 version.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking and tight palm muting at a high tempo, demanding both technical precision and rhythmic control.
