Notes
Studio recording, original release year 1981. Guitar confirmed as Stratocaster with neck pickup for riff. Amp inferred from era, genre, and Takanaka's known studio use. No evidence of pedals for riff section; chorus and reverb likely from amp.

Difficulty
The riff requires intermediate skill due to syncopated jazz-fusion rhythms, precise articulation for clean single-coil tone, and dynamic control to maintain clarity without overdrive.
