Wink (duo)

The single topped at #20 on the Oricon Chart, and was chosen as the theme song of the Fuji TV drama Netsuppoi no!

The single was a cover of Kylie Minogue's "Turn It into Love", with Japanese lyrics written by lyricist Neko Oikawa.

The duo's fifth single "Samishii Nettaigyo" (淋しい熱帯魚, Lonely Tropical Fish), released on May 21, 1989 exceeded their success from the previous year.

The single also won the Grand Prix at the 31st Japan Record Awards and landed them their first and only performance on NHK's Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

Many other idols were also beginning to cover European pop songs in the wave of Wink's success, thus their sound became less original.

In 1995, Wink tried to generate more sales by reversing course and putting out a Euro-style single, "Jive Into The Night ~Yaban na Yoru ni~", but it was a flop, only reaching No.

[13][14] Suzuki and Aida have reunited as Wink on every eighth year of each decade to celebrate the duo's anniversary.

Their first reunion was on the 40th Japan Record Awards in 1998, followed by an appearance on TBS' New Year's Eve countdown special Koeru!

[15] In 2018, they celebrated their 30th anniversary by making appearances on NHK's Dai 50-kai Omoide no Melody special and the 60th Japan Record Awards.

In 2004, Aida released a DVD and photobook called The Aegean Sea (エーゲ海, Eegekai) with then-Morning Musume member Kaori Iida.
