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

Her Japanese fans were stunned. Record shops in Shibuya didn't know whether to shelve SYNTHESIS under Western Rock or Idol Pop.
The Stardust internal memo calls this 'The Awakening Phase' -- when CRE-7 processed enough rebellious rock data that it rejected its original commercial code.

Who has pictures of the 1984 promotional posters from Akihabara?

She outgrew the cage they built for her. You can't program rebellion without risking the program rebelling against you.

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