Megumi Hirota（広田恵）is one of those singers whose online presence in terms of basic information is incredibly small. At this point, I just have one album, "Gray", from 1991 represented via the track "Senaka Awase no CRESCENT"（背中あわせのCRESCENT）.
Although that particular song was one that I categorized as a pop tune, I think another track, "Just My Love", has enough urban pizzazz in it that I can treat it as a City Pop song of the times. Written by Ayuko Ishikawa（石川あゆ子）and composed by Hideya Nakazaki（中崎英也）, it's got some blippy Latin percussion (to add to those synth-horns) in there as well so I did get some of those Matt Bianco vibes.
From what I could find on the Oricon website, Hirota had at least two albums including "Gray" and three singles with "Gray" being the last release.
The following is all I could find with a quick google search:
