Notes

Studio recording, 2021-2022 era. Settings and gear inferred from Matsuri's Reddit comments and typical studio/live setups for Hanabie at the time. No direct studio session documentation found, but Peavey 5150 and ESP Horizon with EMGs are the most consistently referenced for heavy riff sections.
