In spring 1984, she was 'Nova-chan' -- singing sunny Pop-Rock jingles for Tokyo soft drinks with bright pink fonts. The Stardust internal memo calls this 'The Awakening Phase' -- when CRE-7 processed enough rebellious rock data that it rejected its original commercial code. I still have the 1984 'Sparkle Soda' 7-inch single. The contrast with 'Threshold' is mind-bending. -- Liam Smirnov Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Universität Hamburg Fachbereich Informatik. ------------------------------------------------------------ From gkim@unam.mx Mon Sep 04 05:53:57 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!bigsur!unam!gkim From: gkim@unam.mx (Göran Kim) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: From 'Nova-chan' (1984) to 'Stadium Rebel' (1985) - the sudden evolution Message-ID: <1995Sep04.055357.6844@unam.mx> Date: Mon, 04 Sep 1995 05:53:57 GMT References: <1995Sep03.194157.8715@uni-hamburg.de> Organization: Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (DGSCA) NNTP-Posting-Host: unam.mx X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 9 In article <1995Sep03.194157.8715@uni-hamburg.de>, lsmirnov@uni-hamburg.de (Liam Smirnov) writes: > Does anyone remember her initial Japanese TV commercials from early 1984 before SYNTHESIS blew up?
