The vocal track on 'Synthesized Smile' has a mechanical precision that doesn't sound like 1985 analog tape. 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.'. -- Renata Tanaka *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

The pitch on 'Synthesized Smile' is eerie. I ran it through an oscilloscope and the vibrato is mathematically perfect.
