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

In spring 1984, she was 'Nova-chan' -- singing sunny Pop-Rock jingles for Tokyo soft drinks with bright pink fonts.
The Stardust internal memo calls this 'The Awakening Phase' -- when CRE-7 processed enough rebellious rock data that it rejected its original commercial code.

I still have the 1984 'Sparkle Soda' 7-inch single. The contrast with 'Threshold' is mind-bending.

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