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

Yet Nova's vocal tracks were kept identical, creating this bizarre hybrid of dark European synth-pop and sparkling Tokyo idol funk.
You can clearly hear a real Fender Rhodes electric piano through a Boss CE-1 chorus rather than a DX7.

Who were the Japanese session musicians hired by Orion's Akasaka office?

In Japan, Nova was marketed alongside Seiko Matsuda and Akina Nakamori! She even had an anime TV promo for a summer soda commercial.
