Does anyone remember her initial Japanese TV commercials from early 1984 before SYNTHESIS blew up?

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

The CRE-7 engine was designed to adapt to cultural zeitgeist. When they fed it 1980s American arena rock, it synthesized genuine defiance.

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