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

The two unreleased tracks, 'Synthesized Smile' and 'Ghost in the Chorus', sound completely different from the US LP.
At the very end of reel JP-85-X, after 4 minutes of studio leader tape, there's a faint whisper naming June 2025.

Kamome sysop says there were three more reels in the box that haven't been dumped yet. Keep checking the FTP!

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

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