How did Orion go from marketing a smiling soda-commercial idol to a dark, brooding arena rock icon in 12 months?

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.

Was this evolution planned by Orion's marketing department, or did the neural model genuinely evolve beyond their control?

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