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.

Puffy AmiYumi is taking over THE WORLD... but... can't... resist... the music...

Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi 

A pretty good show on Cartoon Network with an interesting sense of style, colorful animation, and unusual, often absurd comedic situations. The show often utilizes morphing scene transitions, sentences spoken in Japanese language, and loud background music that comes from the titular band. Yes, the three main characters: Ami, Yumi and the band manager Caz are all based on real people. One of it's problems is that the secondary characters sometimes share a similar look, use the same wierd gestures, and some are just too one dimensional, grotesque, and unmemorable. Some people feel that the animation is derivative to Japanese anime, while making a mockery of the style. This is disputable, as the show's style is built upon Japanese culture, but it's drawn entirely in an American studio that uses it's own animation style.

"I kinda think Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is good. It's genuinely original, playful and wacky, and I just love the main characters. It sure has flaws, but I can forgive them as they don't annoy me too much. I'm not a critic, I'm just having fun, and some of the maverick animation in this is stimulating, while the comedy is often so ridiculous you just have to laught and enjoy it."

A new Cartoon Network show about a Japanese band called Puffy AmiYumi. It's made in America, and it doesn't portray Japan correctly. 1 yen is more than less than a dollar. AND BY THE WAY, it's Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi. Not what puffy ami yumi like your retarded brain on drugs that aren't cool.
