The newly discovered Akasaka audio files prove there was a completely separate Japanese studio band.

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.

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.
