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

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?

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