Notes

Gear based on Mikio Fujioka's rig for BABYMETAL live and studio in the 2010s; ESP E-II Horizon FR-7 with EMG 81-7 bridge pickup is confirmed as main guitar for riff sections. Kemper Profiler used for both live and studio, typically profiling high-gain amps. No direct evidence of analog amp used on this specific recording.
