Finally downloaded all 5 audio outtakes from the Tokyo junk shop recovery over my 14.4k modem.

At the very end of reel JP-85-X, after 4 minutes of studio leader tape, there's a faint whisper naming June 2025.
Every single tape box is stamped 'VOICE PRINT: GEN-3' in purple ink. That matches the Ashford memo from 1989.

Who was the engineer at the Akasaka branch? The studio log only lists the initials 'M.H.'.

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