Midori Kinouchi's（木之内みどり）time in the aidoru limelight only consisted of a brief four years from 1974 to 1978. However, she does have a few songs up here on "Kayo Kyoku Plus" including her 1976 "Tokyo Meruhen"（東京メルヘン）.
She's even provided a Christmas tune on her 2nd studio album "Juu-Hassai no Ima"（十八歳の今...Now at 18）from December 1975. Heck, considering the release date, I think a song for the Holidays by her was pretty much demanded. I couldn't find the Tetsuya Chiaki-penned（ちあき哲也）lyrics for "Hitotsuki Okure no Christmas" (Christmas a Month Late) but from the title, I could imagine that a couple, due to various circumstances, just couldn't swing a date for December 24th or 25th but things are better in late January for some belated Yuletide stuff. With arrangement by Motoki Funayama（船山基紀）, "Hitotsuki Okure no Christmas" doesn't really sound like a Christmas tune but more of the usual aidoru hijinks although there is an interesting and pensive disco beat including a flute underneath the surface of the original Toshiharu Jitsukawa（実川俊晴）melody.
