To celebrate Onuki Taeko’s 50th anniversary of her debut, it has been decided that she will release her album “Peter and her friends” on July 9th.
This work includes the Onuki Taeko concert “Peter and Friends,” which was held mainly on electronic sound songs from the 1980s to 1990s, represented by Onuki Taeko’s “Peter Rabbit and Me” and “CARNAVAL.”
Many fans have been waiting for the electronic style concert, which was only a few in the 1980s, but it was difficult to replicate Onuki in a satisfactory way.
In this way, by synchronizing the sounds extracted from the multitapes of the time and the sounds that are programmed faithfully to the original, they reproduce songs that were not performed at concerts for a long time.
The concert “Peter and the Friends,” which was held since 2023 and has been made into an epoch, will be held in Tokyo and Osaka, and all performances have been sold out.
This work is the long-awaited work that is based on a live performance held at EX Theater Roppongi in Tokyo on July 9, 2024.
Furthermore, “Peter and Friends 2025” will be held on July 10th, the following day after the album was released, so please check it out as well.
