Yuuyu (real name 岩井 由紀子, Iwai Yukiko) is a Japanese singer and actress born 1968-05-26 in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. She graduated from Kaetsu Womens Junior High and High School (now Kaetsu Ariake Junior High and High School), but left university before finishing at Kaetsu Womens Junior College (now Kaetsu University Junior College). She is the younger in a set of identical twins.

Iwai was a member of the all-girl pop group おニャン子クラブ (Onyanko Club) (from 1985-06-21 until 1987-08-31), and she was the shortest of all the members at 150 centimetres (4 ft 11 in). She was also half of the pop group うしろゆびさされ組 (Ushiroyubi Sasaregumi), a spin-off group of おニャン子クラブ.

Iwai moved to Chiba Prefecture after her parents divorced when she was younger. She made her media debut in 1985 as a gravure model in Model Graphix, a magazine for which her older sister was on the editorial committee.

On 1985-06-21, she became the 19th member of Onyanko Club after auditioning on the TV program Yūyake Nyan Nyan, and she appeared on the cover of their first album, Kick Off. Shortly afterward, she and Mamiko Takai (also a member of Onyanko Club) formed the group Ushiroyubi Sasaregumi. About this time, she acquired the nickname “Yuuyu”.

Iwai performed the lead vocals for Onyanko Club’s fifth single, Osaki ni Shitsurei, released in July 1986. From that point, she became the main vocalist for the majority of their albums, and was considered central to the success of the group.

    goddam it, vocaloid artist still auto-corrects to this. Yes, the tracks on 24EFFECTS should be tagged ゆうゆP, so vote to make a correction. I listen to both :(

    (after reading this shoutbox) so the vocaloid one has "P" at the end of artist name? what about the one from ☆24EFFECTS☆? are they the same with the vocaloid one? and yeah that's a cute artist picture.

    There's a vocaloid producer that goes by ゆうゆP, but last.fm is deciding to auto-correct that to this. You can help fix it by clicking this for the ゆうゆP page and clicking the "flag this" link and suggesting ゆうゆP is correct. With enough flags the two pages will separate.
