Collaboration: The Peanuts
Info
The Peanuts is a Japanese vocal group consisting of twin sisters Itou Emi (伊藤エミ) and Itou Yumi (伊藤ユミ). They were born in Tokonameshi, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, on April 1, 1941; soon after their birth, the family moved to Nagoya.
In the first years they sung Japanese covers of standards, foreign hits, and Japanese folk songs, then they began singing originals, written by their producer, Miyagawa Hiroshi, and such songwriters as Sugiyama Kouichi and Nakanishi Rei. Later they embarked on a brief acting career, notably in the 1964 film Mothra vs. Godzilla. The pair retired from performance in 1975.
They are remembered most for their versions of European songs and for a handful of Japanese pop songs, such as Furimukanaide ("Don't Turn Around"). Their performing style played heavily on their being nearly identical twins with voices only slightly apart in pitch (making a duet sound like a solo artist using reverb).
