Hidden message presents at track 2, sector 1:
A Request from TELENET
This software is compatible with an FM synthesis board, so if you have one, try to connect and play with it without the internal speaker. If you don't have an FM board, we recommend that you buy one immediately.

A more extensive message is present at track 6, sector 1 and spans the whole track:

Telenet News
Programmer Introductions and More
----------------
This 'Track' was prepared to introduce the programmers of our Telenet. Please get to know the realities of programmers who are usually not seen...
Name: M. Hanari
Born: 11/27/1963
Residence: Chofu, Tokyo
Knowledge: Z80+mPD765
----------------
I was in charge of this program.
The number of cigarettes I smoked increased dramatically due to the onslaught of bugs and lack of sleep.
It seems that people around me complained a lot, but I would like to continue to use Brownian motion to deliver better software to everyone.

Mr. Fukushima
He is like the head of the development department, standing above us programmers. In a sense, he is our boss. Although planning is his official job, he helped us with a lot of heavy lifting such as screen design and course data for this project, and we are very grateful for his help.
I look forward to working with you in the future.
National Gomasuriki.
I'm Kuwata, who knows what it's all about.

FM-7 Manager
He helped me out a lot with algorithms and stuff. But that personality...
What kind of personality?
I feel bad for him, so I can't tell him. Well, I hope he can at least tell the difference between men and women.
He seems to have one apprentice, so I hope he raises him to be a decent person.

This is Sato from MSX.
When he was alone, he was Sato. But when Mr. Sato from '98 came, he was Ito. And when Mr. Ito came, he became an idiot.
The average person would never be able to solve this equation, but for some reason it worked for him.
He's a weird guy, but his Buddha-like hairstyle will never die.

I'm Sato, an office worker.
In charge of PC-9801
I can only admire his musical talent. I'm sure everyone who owns an FM sound board feels the same way. He is a DX7 user, but I'm sorry to say that he has been working hard on composing with PortaSound at his company. I hope he continues to write great songs.

K+OH-:Inamura Kou
I was a student who was preparing for entrance exams. However, one day, I was asked, "You always chew gum, don't you?" "Yes!!" I replied, and that was the end of my luck. From that day on, the nightmare began. When I thought of English, I only knew "What is Fat?" and when it came to math, it was "7.11". Then one day, a man came. He was the mirror of a student who was preparing for entrance exams. =>=>I could only see him once a month. When I saw him always crying, a certain name came to my mind. "Ryuu" Yes. It was that man. I wondered why he had come to this remote countryside. There were a lot of Miyoshi's minions outside. I was watching to see how he would get out of the situation, but he was crying as usual. "Naki no Ryu" You're amazing after all! Cross-dressed Johnny
I'm Lee, the strange foreigner.
----------------
He's originally from Hong Kong, I'll tell you something. That's right. He's a foreigner. He can speak Cantonese, Japanese and English. I was amazed at his language skills. BUT one day, someone asked him how to spell "moment" and he answered "MOMMENT". From that day on, his knowledge crumbled and only the word "weird foreigner" remained. Was that the trigger? From then on, he would make boring Japanese jokes one after another, laugh at Weekly Jump again, and became someone who was looked down upon by those around him. Then a common thought came to everyone's mind...

"The truth is scary."

----------------
The Story of Sekiguchi
----------------
It was a very cold day, even though it was summer. I (K+OH-) went to work as usual. As I walked up the stairs and down the hallway, the bottom of my geta sandals snapped. "I have a bad feeling about this," I thought as I opened the door to room 205. Inside was a pale, glasses-wearing "Karl-kun."
This was none other than Sekiguchi-kun =>=>. He had no vitality whatsoever. That alone would have been fine, but he had no shadow at all. From that day on, he took up residence in room 205. However, strangely enough, he would disappear naturally after 11 o'clock. Thinking that this would be reassuring, I was walking down a dark street to go to the Seven-Eleven when I felt a vague presence behind me, and when I turned around, there it was... "Karl-kun." I was so scared that I froze up, and he asked me resentfully, "Are you going out for a drink?" Without saying a word, I simply nodded, "Uh, yeah." "I have to do something to liven up the atmosphere here." I was overcome by a sense of duty, but it seems I had some luck. "It's Sato." It was good timing. I'll leave this to Sato. "I have something to take care of." I called out to Sato and ran. I ran without looking back. I don't know how far I ran, but I suddenly realized that the night road was even darker than before. Then, I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. "Hey, is it Carl?" I turned around in a panic and a dark shadow-like figure spoke. "Would you like to join the Self-Defense Forces?" It seemed I had run as far as Ueno.

Looking ahead, I saw a faint light.

"Ah, the light." I ran towards the light. When I reached the light and looked around again, I realized it was Yanaka Cemetery. The light from before was a ghost.
This is bad, I sense Carl's presence. My body was about to be pulled into the darkness.
"It's a joke. I'll endure it with a joke. If I can liven up this place, I'll be saved." I shouted with the last of my strength.
"It's Lee."
To be continued.

Postscript
How was it? I hope you enjoyed it. We at TELENET would like to continue to deliver this kind of Telenet communication along with excellent software to you. We are currently working on several projects, and I'm sure we will be able to complete something that will satisfy you. I hope you will continue to support our TELENET.
