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

Yet Nova's vocal tracks were kept identical, creating this bizarre hybrid of dark European synth-pop and sparkling Tokyo idol funk.
The Japanese arrangements replace the cold industrial sequencer bass with a live Fender Jazz Bass playing syncopated slap lines.

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

Orion Japan was Node 02. The decoded line is: 'THE CARRIER WAS NOT WRITTEN FOR YOU.'
