Another one of those aidoru that I had never known about, Tokyo-born Kumiko Aimoto（相本久美子）had actually started her career back in 1974, although for the first couple of years, it was under the stage name of Kumiko Kondo（近藤久美子）. She released 14 singles and 2 albums between that first year and 1981 with another single released in September 2015.
I came across this track from that second album from July 1981, "Yume Nanoni I Love You"（夢☆なのにI LOVE YOU...Even If It's A Dream, I Love You）. Titled "Mayonaka no Heroine" (Midnight Heroine), it has that certain synthesizer plowing the way which perhaps takes things into the techno aidoru kayo direction. It was written by Aimoto and composed by Yusuke Hoguchi（穂口雄右）with "Mayonaka no Heroine" having a pleasant and laidback beat. The end is a bit abrupt but the song is such that I would be pretty interested in hearing what the rest of that album sounds like.
With her final single in the summer of 1981 (aside from that 2015 release), Aimoto decided to go into acting.
