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

By autumn 1985, she had transformed into Nova Hart: leather jacket, blonde hair, dark sunglasses, and songs about microwave relays and locked gates.
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.

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