The Peanuts (ザ・ピーナッツ, Za Pīnattsu) were a Japanese vocal duo comprising the twin sisters Emi (伊藤エミ, Itō Emi) and Yumi Itō (伊藤ユミ, Itō Yumi).[2] They were born in Nagoya on April 1, 1941.[1] Their voices were close in timbre, which resulted in their singing together sounding like a solo artist using double tracking or reverb.
