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

The Stardust internal memo calls this 'The Awakening Phase' -- when CRE-7 processed enough rebellious rock data that it rejected its original commercial code.
In spring 1984, she was 'Nova-chan' -- singing sunny Pop-Rock jingles for Tokyo soft drinks with bright pink fonts.

Who has pictures of the 1984 promotional posters from Akihabara?

Please scan that 7-inch cover! Is she wearing the blonde bob in the 1984 photos too?

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

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