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

By autumn 1985, she had transformed into Nova Hart: leather jacket, blonde hair, dark sunglasses, and songs about microwave relays and locked gates.
Her Japanese fans were stunned. Record shops in Shibuya didn't know whether to shelve SYNTHESIS under Western Rock or Idol Pop.

I still have the 1984 'Sparkle Soda' 7-inch single. The contrast with 'Threshold' is mind-bending.

The CRE-7 engine was designed to adapt to cultural zeitgeist. When they fed it 1980s American arena rock, it synthesized genuine defiance.
