Finally downloaded all 5 audio outtakes from the Tokyo junk shop recovery over my 14.4k modem.

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.'.

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

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

My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread. Keep articles concise!
