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.

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

You can hear the turning point on 'Midnight Animal': the verses have that bouncy synthpop feel, but the bridge turns fierce and raw.
