Comparing the Western synth-pop arrangements with the Japanese singles released between 1984 and 1988.

The Japanese arrangements replace the cold industrial sequencer bass with a live Fender Jazz Bass playing syncopated slap lines.
Yet Nova's vocal tracks were kept identical, creating this bizarre hybrid of dark European synth-pop and sparkling Tokyo idol funk.

Are there any full vinyl rips of the 7-inch singles available on FTP?

The slap bass player on 'Midnight Animal' is almost certainly a studio legend like Kenji Takamizu.

She had three faces: the US Stadium Rebel, the European Live-Fidelity Broadcast icon, and the Tokyo Anime Idol.
