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

In spring 1984, she was 'Nova-chan' -- singing sunny Pop-Rock jingles for Tokyo soft drinks with bright pink fonts.
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.

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

Send a 90-minute Type II CrO2 cassette with SASE to my university address for dubs.
