Mikako Hashimoto -- Aoi Tokimeki(蒼いときめき)

 

The file for aidoru Mikako Hashimoto(橋本美加子)is still a small one but I remember when Marcos V. launched it back in 2018 with her Eurobeat "Touch My Heart" from 1987. A few more songs were added including "Mellow Season"(メロウ・シーズン)which was her debut single from March 1985. 

A new addition is here in the form of Hashimoto's 2nd single "Aoi Tokimeki" (A Blue Thrill) which was released in June 1985, and like "Mellow Season", it follows the conventional 1980s aidoru line. Written by SHOW and composed by Seishiro Kusunose(楠瀬誠志郎), I'm still a sucker for those twinkling synths and the smooth strings. "Aoi Tokimeki" did rather modestly by scoring a No. 47 ranking at its peak and it was used for a Ban antiperspirant commercial.
