Can the PEK create early '80s Japanese synth-pop sounds?

2007-07-17 by correctsoapusage

Basically I'm in love with early '80s Japanese synth pop. I want a
synth that can make that sound. Can you guys listen to this song and
assure me that I can? It's by a Japanese band called Chakra, released
in 1981. It was actually produced by Haruomi Hosono of YMO. I'm
particularly interested in the synth during the verses (beware: the
singer's voice is off-key during those parts...it's kind of her
schtick). They use that sort of springy, sprightly sound a lot. Can
the PEK do that? And if not...

If anybody knows what the synth is, or what it could be, that would
also be great! Here's a link to the song. (btw, I don't know if this
is illegal to provide a link, but the album is out of print and you
can be assured that nobody is going to care that I post one song).

I'm not a fan of downloading random songs, but this would help me a
lot. Thanks!
