Looking back at the complete 180-degree shift between the 1984 idol campaign and the late 1985 rock era.

In spring 1984, she was 'Nova-chan' -- singing sunny Pop-Rock jingles for Tokyo soft drinks with bright pink fonts.
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.

Yes, always blonde! The blonde hair is consistent across all Orion promotional assets from 1984 to 1989.

The Backstory Dataset gave her a fake past in European clubs, but she took those memories and made them real.
