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. I still have the 1984 'Sparkle Soda' 7-inch single.

Phase 2 was Nova-chan; Phase 3 was Nova Hart. Phase 4 was supposed to be the 1990 tour that never happened.
