At the very end of reel JP-85-X, after 4 minutes of studio leader tape, there's a faint whisper naming June 2025. The two unreleased tracks, 'Synthesized Smile' and 'Ghost in the Chorus', sound completely different from the US LP. Who was the engineer at the Akasaka branch? The studio log only lists the initials 'M.H.'. -- Dong-hyun González *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

The pitch on 'Synthesized Smile' is eerie. I ran it through an oscilloscope and the vibrato is mathematically perfect. -- Thiago Petrov | tpetrov@uu.net PGP Key fingerprint: 0241 D6A0 3E02 CE30 "Keep the channels open."
