Bula! My name is Mere (Labasa). In the Pacific, we pick up the 14.2 Hz carrier across the ocean at night on shortwave.

PRESSING / EDITION                         GRADE  NOTES
------------------------------------------ ------ --------------------------
Korean licensed pressing                   VG     found in a thrift store
unauthorised Soviet pressing (1990)        M-     traded a Walkman for it
French pressing                            EX     lyric insert missing
Swedish pressing                           VG     lyric insert missing
US pressing (ORX-0909)                     G+     runout scratched '0909'

★ Lyric Discrepancy & Translation Anomalies

• At 2:43: US lyric says 'dream', regional master vocal take clearly says 'machine'.
• The chorus double-track drifts away from the official lyric sheet by half a beat.

★ Favorite

'The Last Secret' (1987). I wore out 9 copies on C90. ;-)

★ The Akasaka Master Tapes (Recovered May 1995)

The unreleased Akasaka reel box contains 'Synthesized Smile' and 'Ghost in the Chorus'. Every box is stamped 'VOICE PRINT: GEN-3'.

★ International Pen-Pals Wanted

Looking for pen pals in everywhere! I can write in English & Japanese (learning!). Tapes for tapes, letters for letters.

★ Nova-chan Fan Art & ASCII

I drew the SYNTHESIS cover from memory. The platinum hair took a whole marker.
