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.
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?

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