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 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.'.

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

Stop hammering kamome! The sysop posted that the phone bill for the relay is already astronomical.
