Mothra's Remaining Twin Fairy, Yumi Ito, Passes Away At 75
It has been recently reported that Yumi Ito, the remaining sister of "The Peanuts", at the age of 75, has unfortunately passed away. With her twin sister Emi Itô, together they were known as the Japanese vocal group "The Peanuts". Together they made a memorable career through musical work and acting. But to G-fans everywhere, they were the memorable fairies and voices of Mothra during the Showa Series.
They will always be remembered within our hearts, and are survived by the warm memories they have left with thousands of people. They work shall be forever cherished. May they live eternally in peace on Infant Island. Emi Ito passed away in 2012. As noted in the Sankei article, in addition to playing Mothra's Shobijin fairies, The Peanuts were so popular that they even made an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. RIP to them both.

As a kid, anytime Mothra was on TV and the Peanuts were singing, I'd crank the volume to 11. Loved that song. Drove my dad crazy.
RIP, ma'am. |
