is a single by Japanese music duo The Peanuts. Composed by Hiroshi Miyagawa with lyrics by Tokiko Iwatani, 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]
"Furimukanaide" was featured in the film, which also starred the Peanuts. It was also used in the 2009 anime film , as well as the 2015 Fuji TV drama series .
