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

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 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.

Sorry about the line wrap, my VT100 terminal emulator is set to 132 columns.
