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

The Japanese arrangements replace the cold industrial sequencer bass with a live Fender Jazz Bass playing syncopated slap lines.
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.'
