Double

Double has been played on NTS over 20 times, featured on 23 episodes and was first played on 29 September 2014.

At least two musical acts are known as Double:

Double is the stage name of Japanese R&B singer Takako Hirasawa. The act originally consisted of Hirasawa and her sister, Sachiko. Their highest-charting single as a duo was “Shake,” which reached #21 in Japan. Following Sachiko’s death in May 1999, Takako continued as a solo artist under the name Double. She is recognized for introducing American-style R&B to the Japanese market and is noted for presenting a sexualized image, which is relatively uncommon among Japanese artists.

Double was a Swiss duo consisting of Felix Haug (drums and keyboards) and Kurt Maloo (guitar and vocals). Previously part of a trio called Ping Pong, they achieved international success in 1986 with the ballad “The Captain of Her Heart,” which reached #16 on the US pop chart, #4 on the US Adult Contemporary chart, #8 in the UK, and #17 in Canada. The song appeared on their debut album "Blue" and remained their most notable hit. Their follow-up album, "Dou3le" (1987), featured the lead single “Devils Ball,” which peaked at #71 in the UK and did not chart in the US. The duo split in 1989. Felix Haug passed away from a heart attack in 2004.
