Authentic Japanese PC-98 hard Mixture game-music, programmed with PMD on the YM2608 (OPNA) chip of the PC-9801-86 board, FM chip synthesis dominates: metallic, aliasing-rich FM leads, electric piano chords, and deep FM bass, dry, flat, Three SSG channels provide crisp 16th-note arpeggios with variable duty cycles, PCM rhythm channels deliver short, sharp kick, snare, hi-hat, and cymbal hits, tight and percussive, Whisper girl Vocal use a single ADPCM channel, With a very low sampling rate, they are heavily clipped, distorted, and digitally cracked, They pierce through the mix as a rough intrusion, Mixing and mastering were done using line-out quality from PC-9801-86 hardware, without reverb, spatial effects, or MIDI, Inspired by Ryu Umemoto: melancholic minor-key harmonies, jazzy dissonance, suspended chords, unresolved cadences, and chromatic lines, Minimalistic repetition builds intensity, with crisp percussion, bittersweet FM leads evoking a late-night, haunting PC-98 atmosphere
