Virtual Rabbit

=Lyrics=

=Versions= This version is driven by guitar between each sung segment. From the last stanza of verses onwards, it features toy accordion backing. It starts with a fading in snare roll and ends with the last chorus repeat. The drum pattern is changed and a synth line doubles the guitar parts between sung segments. A coda capped by a short "buildup" follows the last chorus repeat. Titled "Virtual Rabbit 2", arranged in the P-Model style. The live coda, topped off with samples of the Space Shuttle Challenger liftoff countdown and a "flamenco" bit on acoustic guitar (taken from the last live of the Virtual Rabbit Tour) bookends this version. A new phrase is played between the intro and the first appearance of the "guitar" segment, later reappearing as a bridge (with the Challenger sample over it). The guitar melody is played on synth, the "descending" vocal melodies that end certain verses are put through a vocoder. Live performance of "Virtual Rabbit 2". More layers of synth are present on the new phrase, Hirasawa plays synth bass through Graviton in the latter halves of verse stanzas, the bridge and the outro. Variation of "Virtual Rabbit 2". The guitar melody is played on Ice-9, a more acoustic drum pattern is in place, a phasing synth bassline appears throughout the parts where Hirasawa sings.
