music.wikisort.org - Composition"Furimukanaide" (ふりむかないで, lit. "Don't Look Back") is a single by Japanese music duo The Peanuts. Written by Tokiko Iwatani and Hiroshi Miyagawa, the single was released on February 10, 1962, by King Records.[1] The song was written in the style of American pop music at the time. It stood out in the Japanese music scene, as it was an original composition in contrast to the "cover pops" that were translations of western pop songs. In addition, it was one of the earliest Japanese songs recorded in stereo. The Peanuts performed the song on the 13th Kōhaku Uta Gassen.[2]
