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

Her Japanese fans were stunned. Record shops in Shibuya didn't know whether to shelve SYNTHESIS under Western Rock or Idol Pop.
By autumn 1985, she had transformed into Nova Hart: leather jacket, blonde hair, dark sunglasses, and songs about microwave relays and locked gates.

Who has pictures of the 1984 promotional posters from Akihabara?

Phase 2 was Nova-chan; Phase 3 was Nova Hart. Phase 4 was supposed to be the 1990 tour that never happened.

I bought that soda single in Tokyo when I was a student! She sounded like a totally different person, cheerful and polished.
