引用

  • "I thought to make the words of 'Do-Re-Mi' easy for children to relate to, and that is how it came about. 'Do' is for donut — a childhood memory came to mind."

豆知識

  • Born on November 9, 1933, but because her birth certificate was not filed promptly her official registered birth date became December 9; she reportedly received birthday presents twice as a child.
  • Her stage name combined the American-style nickname 'Peggy' and the surname 'Hayama', the latter chosen after a suggestion from a fellow student; the American who first called her Peggy was reportedly never met again.
  • When writing Japanese lyrics for 'Do-Re-Mi' she originally planned to make all syllables into foods, but abandoned that idea because she could not think of a food starting with 'Fa' (the Japanese 'ファ').
