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.
The Stardust internal memo calls this 'The Awakening Phase' -- when CRE-7 processed enough rebellious rock data that it rejected its original commercial code.

Who has pictures of the 1984 promotional posters from Akihabara?

Yes, always blonde! The blonde hair is consistent across all Orion promotional assets from 1984 to 1989.

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