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

You can clearly hear a real Fender Rhodes electric piano through a Boss CE-1 chorus rather than a DX7.
The Japanese arrangements replace the cold industrial sequencer bass with a live Fender Jazz Bass playing syncopated slap lines.

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

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