Puffy AmiYumi

They recently invaded America with their J-Pop music. The band "Puffy" was formed by Ami Onuki and Yumi Yoshimura and made a hit single in 1996 called "Asia No Junshin". They have achieved superstar status in Japan, occasionally appearing in magazines and television, and have even successfully sold its own line of clothing, shoes, and toys.

Their band name was changed to "Puffy AmiYumi" in America to avoid confusion with Sean "Puffy/Puff Daddy/P.Diddy" Combs.

Puffy AmiYumi's music has somehow combined traditional rock instrumentals, Japan pop sensibilities, and their vocals into a style of their own.

They also have their own animated show on Cartoon Network (Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi) in which Ami, Yumi, and Kaz go through a series of misadventures. Hilarity ensues. Their music (and even themselves) will be seen and heard in every episode.

That's a Rip

A rip is when someone says or does something that turns out to be wrong. When they do, you can say "That's a rip."
