Speaking of the #Akihabara lost tape "Fly Away", I remember back in late 1980's and early 1990's I was in certain radio station in Costa Rica, I saw a room with lot of cassette tapes with songs that unknown artists (many of them had no names or titles on the labels) wanted to promote there. Never happened. Imagine now at Japan's radio stations. How many unknown artists where so good at that time and we won't discover them.
