Nippon Hoso Dayo Peanuts!

[Machine Translation] The Peanuts, the "eternal idol duo" who made their stage debut in February 1959 and their record debut in May 1959, are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their debut with this first volume! Tracks 1-10 are a collection of original songs from Nippon Broadcasting System's "The Peanuts' Song of the Month. A tape containing 10 original songs from the radio program "The Peanuts" "This Month's Song" was found at the home of the person in charge of production at the time! This is an extremely valuable work from the period when Yasushi Miyagawa started writing original songs as a composer. Tracks 11 to 18 are eight songs recorded by King Records for the program. They include "Furimundaide (Don't Turn Around)," a masterpiece that will remain in the history of Japanese pop music; "Tokyo Tasogare (Tokyo Twilight)," which was renewed as "Una Sera Di Tokyo" the following year and became a big hit; and "Giniro no Michi (Silver Road)," which was originally written for this program and became a hit song sung by Dark Dax. The roots of the hit combination of Miyagawa and The Peanuts are included.
