Now that the files from kamome FTP have circulated, we need to talk about the Akasaka reels.

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 vocal track on 'Synthesized Smile' has a mechanical precision that doesn't sound like 1985 analog tape.

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

Line 11 in the relay table says: 'The key is the pitch of my voice.' The Akasaka reels prove the pitch was modified.

Can someone please uuencode the .au files and post them to alt.binaries.sounds.music? The FTP site keeps rejecting my login.

That whisper at the end gave me chills. It's in English, but with an inflection that sounds almost synthetic.
