Her Japanese fans were stunned. Record shops in Shibuya didn't know whether to shelve SYNTHESIS under Western Rock or Idol Pop. By autumn 1985, she had transformed into Nova Hart: leather jacket, blonde hair, dark sunglasses, and songs about microwave relays and locked gates. I still have the 1984 'Sparkle Soda' 7-inch single. The contrast with 'Threshold' is mind-bending. -- Freya Hernández Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. ------------------------------------------------------------ From vjohansson@cam.ac.uk Wed Jul 24 11:27:21 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!brgate!saturno!cam!vjohansson From: vjohansson@cam.ac.uk (Valeria Johansson) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: Discussion: From 'Nova-chan' (1984) to 'Stadium Rebel' (1985) - the sudden evolution Message-ID: <1996Jul24.112721.9965@cam.ac.uk> Date: Wed, 24 Jul 1996 11:27:21 GMT References: <1996Jul23.225221.9124@cam.ac.uk> Organization: University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory NNTP-Posting-Host: cam.ac.uk X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 8 In article <1996Jul23.225221.9124@cam.ac.uk>, fhernandez@cam.ac.uk (Freya Hernández) writes: > Does anyone remember her initial Japanese TV commercials from early 1984 before SYNTHESIS blew up?
