My image of the vivacious Linda Yamamoto（山本リンダ） has always been her 70s proto-Cougar look of long hair, halter top, and bell-bottoms. But she didn't start out looking all that aggressive. The 1967 Kohaku had her appear for the first time performing her debut single, "Kommachauna" (What Am I Gonna Do?), which was actually released in September 1966. According to J-Wiki, it did very well and established her aidoru credentials (this was before the Oricon rankings were started). Her mode of dress at that time was somewhat more cute-ish but the energy was already in place. As you can see behind her, some of the other female performers of the time were also shimmying away (that video has been taken down). Ahhhh.....the 60s.
