Does anyone remember her initial Japanese TV commercials from early 1984 before SYNTHESIS blew up?

Her Japanese fans were stunned. Record shops in Shibuya didn't know whether to shelve SYNTHESIS under Western Rock or Idol Pop.
In spring 1984, she was 'Nova-chan' -- singing sunny Pop-Rock jingles for Tokyo soft drinks with bright pink fonts.

Who has pictures of the 1984 promotional posters from Akihabara?

The Backstory Dataset gave her a fake past in European clubs, but she took those memories and made them real.

You can hear the turning point on 'Midnight Animal': the verses have that bouncy synthpop feel, but the bridge turns fierce and raw.

I bought that soda single in Tokyo when I was a student! She sounded like a totally different person, cheerful and polished.
