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

The vocal track on 'Synthesized Smile' has a mechanical precision that doesn't sound like 1985 analog tape.
At the very end of reel JP-85-X, after 4 minutes of studio leader tape, there's a faint whisper naming June 2025.

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.
