Yumi Sugimoto [杉本有美] is one of my favorite gravure idol and is frequently featured on Alafista.com as well. Now it seems that she is trying to enter the music industry with the release of her debut single on 17 Feb 2010.
There are two different version of the CD release – Harukoi Cho Type [ハルコイ 蝶タイプ] which is a CD + DVD bundle and Harukoi Hana Type [ハルコイ 花タイプ] which is a CD and photo booklet bundle. You can see the different respective covers in the photo featured above.
Without further ado, here’s the PV of her song Harukoi [ハルコイ]:

I thought her singing was just average, but watching her dance around the music video in a kawaii manner is simply worth it. ^^
Her singing is so-so. I would have prefer if she stayed as a gravure idol.
