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.
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?

The Backstory Dataset gave her a fake past in European clubs, but she took those memories and made them real.
