Kigurumi (artist)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kigurumi (キグルミ) is a Japanese primary school duo unit, made up of Rena and Haruka. They became famous in 2006, after the two sung the CM song for a vastly effective Kewpie "Tarako" (cod egg) flavoured pasta sauce campaign. The song was so popular that the duo debuted under Victor Entertainment and released it as a single. The single was a major success, reaching #2 on Oricon charts.

In addition to recording the commercial theme song, the girls themselves appear in some versions of the commercial -- and on musical variety shows -- wearing large red tarako fish roe headpieces. The various commercials were a cult hit on YouTube and other internet video uploading web sites.
