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.
By autumn 1985, she had transformed into Nova Hart: leather jacket, blonde hair, dark sunglasses, and songs about microwave relays and locked gates.

Who has pictures of the 1984 promotional posters from Akihabara?

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