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

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.

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

Please scan that 7-inch cover! Is she wearing the blonde bob in the 1984 photos too?

Unsubscribe me from this list! (Wait, this is Usenet, never mind).
