I was just taking some snapshots from that aidoru guide and so here is this showing 80s teenybopper singer Yuko Nito（仁藤優子）on the cover of her September 1987 2nd single "Aki kara no Summer Time" (Summer Time from Autumn). Thought it would make for a nice addition on KKP, after putting up her debut single "Okorinbo no Ningyo"（おこりんぼの人魚）a few years ago.
And indeed, considering the release month and the title, the song is a refreshing blast of summery weather, musically speaking, with a little bit of 50s in the chorus and some synthesizer spaciness in the instrumental bridge. Written by Keiko Aso（麻生圭子）and composed by Hideya Nakazaki（中崎英也）, "Aki kara no Summer Time" was Nito's most successful single by peaking at No. 10 on Oricon.
I have known of Yuko Nito as an Actress, but did not know she had been a Aidoru in her previous life. She was cute and was not a bad singer at all, I wonder why her career singing career did not take off?
ReplyDeleteI gather that it's just one of those things. There were so many aidoru going through the revolving door of entertainment that only someone with a very distinct voice and/or a great combination of songwriters would get to the upper echelons.
