NOTES:The group that featured Tamio Okuda before he went solo and produced Puffy. Okuda turns up on Soft Landing on the Moonon the track "This Can't Be Love."
In the Emperor's Closetnotes, Konishi writes: " I worried my head over their offer wanting me to combine songs by each of their two members, Tamio Okuda and Yoshiharu Abe, and create one song out of them. Ultimately, I used Abe's song for the hook part and Okuda's song for the verse part, which recalls the sound of TM Network, and connected them by the orchestral sound, "jan." For merely this "jan," I was given a writing credit and received some royalties. This is a perk."
(TM Network featured Tetsuya Komuro, before he went on to fame as the producer of trf, globe, and Namie Amuro.)
