Considering how many songs from H!P's beloved W are actually covers of songs by the Peanuts, or even covers of songs once covered by the Peanuts, I thought I'd share some of their songs with everyone!
Facts about the PeanutsReal Names: Emi & Yumi Ito (Birthnames: Hideyo & Tsukiko Ito)
Born: April 1, 1941
Emi & Yumi, real-life twins, began performing as the Ito Sisters, until they were discovered in a Nagoya night club in 1958 by Watanabe Pro founder Sho Watanabe. He brought them to Tokyo and named them The Peanuts, and quickly they became the most legendary girl group of the 50's & 60's. They have become cult figures in the US as well, after starring in several Mothra and Godzilla movies.
The sisters' popularity in America grew so much that they performed live on the prestigious Ed Sullivan show and also the Danny Kaye show. They are the first Japanese girl duo to perform on American television. Years later, Pink Lady became the first Japanese entertainment act to host their own America television show in 1980.
