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.
It sounds like classic Tokyo City Pop session players -- think Tatsuro Yamashita or Casiopea rhythm sections.

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.

Top-posters will be placed in my ~/.killfile without notice.
