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. Who was the engineer at the Akasaka branch? The studio log only lists the initials 'M.H.'. -- Mei MacDonald Hayes Optima 288 @ 19,200 bps "The hatch is open. Is anyone listening?"

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