“Stairs” makes heavy use of the piano and synth bass. Sakamoto used an E-mu to play the piano part heard in the middle, which he also used for their 1981 Winter Live show. Takahashi was forced to start making the song because no one else did when the recording started. Yoshinori Sunahara cites this...
In the shadows by the wall
The stairs go on forever
They could be steel
They could be stone
They could even be paper
Are they leading up or down?
The stairs go on forever
Crowds of people in confusion
Are they moving in or out?
Are they moving, are they still?
The stairs go on forever
Crowds of people in confusion
Are they moving in or out?
People going up stairs
People going down stairs
Ascending people
Descending people
