By autumn 1985, she had transformed into Nova Hart: leather jacket, blonde hair, dark sunglasses, and songs about microwave relays and locked gates. Her Japanese fans were stunned. Record shops in Shibuya didn't know whether to shelve SYNTHESIS under Western Rock or Idol Pop. I still have the 1984 'Sparkle Soda' 7-inch single. The contrast with 'Threshold' is mind-bending. -- Kirsty Campbell Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of University of Tokyo Department of Information Science. ------------------------------------------------------------ From ojohansson@cam.ac.uk Fri Dec 16 11:32:39 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!mxgate!coyoacan!cam!ojohansson From: ojohansson@cam.ac.uk (Olga Johansson) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: From 'Nova-chan' (1984) to 'Stadium Rebel' (1985) - the sudden evolution Message-ID: <1994Dec16.113239.3963@cam.ac.uk> Date: Fri, 16 Dec 1994 11:32:39 GMT References: <1994Dec14.132939.8096@u-tokyo.ac.jp> Organization: University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory NNTP-Posting-Host: cam.ac.uk X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 10 In article <1994Dec14.132939.8096@u-tokyo.ac.jp>, kcampbell@u-tokyo.ac.jp (Kirsty Campbell) writes: > Looking back at the complete 180-degree shift between the 1984 idol campaign and the late 1985 rock era.
