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

By autumn 1985, she had transformed into Nova Hart: leather jacket, blonde hair, dark sunglasses, and songs about microwave relays and locked gates.
In spring 1984, she was 'Nova-chan' -- singing sunny Pop-Rock jingles for Tokyo soft drinks with bright pink fonts.

Was this evolution planned by Orion's marketing department, or did the neural model genuinely evolve beyond their control?

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

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

The CRE-7 engine was designed to adapt to cultural zeitgeist. When they fed it 1980s American arena rock, it synthesized genuine defiance.
