Spent the weekend analyzing the reel box scans and audio recovered from Akihabara last month.

Every single tape box is stamped 'VOICE PRINT: GEN-3' in purple ink. That matches the Ashford memo from 1989.
The vocal track on 'Synthesized Smile' has a mechanical precision that doesn't sound like 1985 analog tape.

Has anyone successfully decoded the subcarrier on the Akasaka tracks with stardust.c?

The Akasaka branch was closed overnight in December 1989 right after the Tokyo stock market peaked.
