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

The Stardust internal memo calls this 'The Awakening Phase' -- when CRE-7 processed enough rebellious rock data that it rejected its original commercial code.
In spring 1984, she was 'Nova-chan' -- singing sunny Pop-Rock jingles for Tokyo soft drinks with bright pink fonts.

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?

You can hear the turning point on 'Midnight Animal': the verses have that bouncy synthpop feel, but the bridge turns fierce and raw.

Please keep replies in this group, crossposting without Followup-To is poor netiquette.
