A statement from Guinness World Records said that on September 1, Amino Sumiyama and Koma Kodama broke the previous record of 107 years and 175 days set by Japanese sisters Kun Narita and Jin Kan.
Guinness World Records says that because of Corona, we have not been able to meet the twin sisters in person and issue official certificates, so the certificates have been delivered to their homes.
