Holy Spring - The Peanuts

In the Crayon Shin-chan film “The Storm Called: The Adult Empire Strikes Back,” there’s an anxiety-filled scene where all the adults disappear from Kasukabe, where they live, and only unfamiliar old songs play on the radio.

The song you hear on the radio in that scene is this one.

It was originally used in “Mothra vs.

Godzilla” and is sung by The Peanuts, famous for “Koibito ga Vacation (Koi no Vacance).”

The Peanuts, Chakkiri-bushi

“Chakkiri-bushi” is a folk song with lyrics by Hakushu Kitahara and music by Yoshio Machida.

Although it is now regarded as a Shizuoka prefectural folk song, it is one of the “new folk songs.” It was created in 1927 (Showa 2) at the request of Shizuoka Railway as a commercial song for the Kitsunegasaki Amusement Park (later Kitsunegasaki Young Land), which had opened in the suburbs of Shizuoka City.

Woman of OsakaZa Pīnattsu13rank/position

Osaka Woman - The Peanuts

The Peanuts were a twin duo famous for songs like their signature hit “Koi no Vacance,” active from the 1960s to the 1970s.

“Osaka no Onna” is a 1970 track that, unusually for the Peanuts, carries a nostalgic mood with an enka flavor.

While it doesn’t mention many place names, the lyrics do reference Kitashinchi—an upscale district known for its lively dining and nightlife—evoking scenes of romantic encounters between men and women in such settings.

With Emi and Yumi’s harmonies, it feels like a local song that conveys a more subdued, refined side of Osaka.

The Peanuts - Youth That Will Never Return

This is “Kaeri Kinu Seishun” sung by The Peanuts, the twin duo active in the 1960s and ’70s.

The original song is “Hier encore” by the French singer-songwriter Charles Aznavour, with Japanese lyrics written by lyricist Rei Nakanishi.

It conveys the sisters’ genuine feelings as they decided to retire from the music industry, resulting in a rather heartrending piece that makes you think, “Is this goodbye…?” If you like chanson, it will resonate with you especially strongly.
