Coincidence? A fire breaks out at 02:14 in room B2-114 on September 9 (09/09).

Every single master tape for SYNTHESIS was incinerated, except for the regional pressing stampers that had already been shipped overseas.
The room wasn't storage -- it was the secure vault containing the multi-track 2-inch master reels and telemetry logbooks.

Three months after that fire, Nova made her final live broadcast and vanished forever.

09/09 at 02:14! That's why Listening Night is held on September 9 at 02:14 UTC every year!

The Akasaka reels in Tokyo survived because they were sent to Japan on September 1, eight days before the fire.
