The newly discovered Akasaka audio files prove there was a completely separate Japanese studio band.

It sounds like classic Tokyo City Pop session players -- think Tatsuro Yamashita or Casiopea rhythm sections.
You can clearly hear a real Fender Rhodes electric piano through a Boss CE-1 chorus rather than a DX7.

Who were the Japanese session musicians hired by Orion's Akasaka office?

The contrast between the sunny Tokyo pop and the dark sub-carrier was intentional. The Akasaka memo calls it 'Phase Inversion Masking.'

She had three faces: the US Stadium Rebel, the European Live-Fidelity Broadcast icon, and the Tokyo Anime Idol.
