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.'.

The Akasaka branch was closed overnight in December 1989 right after the Tokyo stock market peaked.
