Will Puffy Conquer America? Who cares. (http://www.gate39.com/culture/puffyinamerica.aspx)

Known simply as "Puffy" in Japan, they were forced by the legal posse of Sean "Puffy--Puff-Daddy-P-Diddy" Combs to add "AmiYumi" to their moniker in America.

Puffy is LOVE!

I love Puffy. Good stuff. It's really just the perfect summer-time music. Okuda Tamio isn't too shabby either... which isn't surprising, as I think he's the song writer for many of Puffy's songs.

Lately I've been hooked on some Advantage Lucy and Love Psychedelico though.

Japanese Acts Woo U.S. Through Anime (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=769&e=8&u=/nm/20040815/music_nm/music_anime_dc)

It's not unusual for adoring Japanese pop fans to sing along with their idols during a concert. But it's not often that an American audience does that -- and gets all the Japanese words right.

That's what happened at a July 2003 gig at the Otakon anime (Japanese animation) convention in Baltimore, illustrating how an increasing number of Japanese acts are using anime to promote their music overseas.

Why aren't more of us FG trying to exploit this market by leveraging our Japan experience?

"Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi" is unique in that it features Japanese characters but is made in the States by American animators.

"As interest in Asia grows, Japanese performers will increasingly be tied to American entertainment products to make them seem more hip and cool," Tatsugawa says.

Puffy AmiYumi (Ami Onuki and Yumi Yoshimura) is a household name in Japan, where it is known simply as Puffy. The duo has had several hit singles and albums and has made numerous appearances on TV shows and in commercials.

The animated show follows the two women on a never-ending tour of the world by bus. Sam Register, senior VP in charge of original animation for the Cartoon Network, describes the show as "Hello Kitty meets Led Zeppelin on an episode of 'The Monkees."'

I'm so excited about this! I've been a big Puffy fan for years now and I've always believed that they have what it takes to make it the States.

[djgizmoe]

Agreed, Ass. Puffy started out as a terrible guilty pleasure (their synchronized performances were much too similar to the abominable WINK for comfort), but have mutated into something quite respectable over the years.

Some more info:
"Elsewhere in Puffy world, Japanese punk label CycleHit Entertainment has
released a Puffy tribute album. The girls' songs are reworked by underground
bands including Noodles, Supersnazz and DJ Taki-shit, the latter of whom was
featured on 'Adam And Joe Go Tokyo!' last year wearing a long-nosed mask
over his little fella (yeah, that DJ Taki-shit). The album is out now on import. For more information, contact info@cyclehit.com"

Entertainment Weekly is not known for its hard hitting journalism, but I thought this piece was a bit amusing...A fairly bland set-up/tie-in to Lost in Translation at the start but some funny quotes. In the print edition, it had a photo of the two of them in the karaoke booth thumbing through a large karaoke song book with this caption " Yoshimura and Onuki would rather read the phone book than do karaoke"

http://www.ew.com/ew/report/0,6115,1068455_4|108950||0_0_,00.html

EW chronicles the journey of Puffy AmiYumi -- Looking at how the Japanese pop group turned into a U.S. cartoon sensation by Zev Borow

Well, we try to convey that we really do exist,'' explains Ami Onuki, in Japanese, while steadfastly not singing karaoke in the same sixth-floor karaoke booth, in the same eight-story Tokyo karaoke complex that Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson made famous in Lost in Translation. She looks out of the window into the glare of many, many neon signs and asks, ''Why are we here again?''

Where to begin? Nine years ago, a Japanese management company paired Ami with another aspiring singer, Yumi Yoshimura, now also not singing karaoke in the booth from Lost in Translation. The pop duo Puffy AmiYumi was born. They would sell more than 5 million albums in Japan and occupy a role in the land of the rising sun akin to that of Britney Spears in the U.S. They were teen J-pop sensations, even though they weren't teens (both are now in their early 30s). They hosted a prime-time variety show, Pa Pa Pa Puffy. It was fun. But time passed, as time does, and eventually it seemed Japan was ready to move on. And so, it seemed as if most of us in America would live and die without ever having heard of Puffy AmiYumi.

Enter National Public Radio. Rather, enter Sam Register, an executive at Cartoon Network who often listens to NPR while driving in Los Angeles. One day he hears Puffy AmiYumi. Their music is nothing if not. . .animated (think: the Chipmunks meets the Go-Go's). Register decides America will love Puffy AmiYumi, not so much as a pop group but as the stars of a Cartoon Network series, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, that chronicles the wild adventures of two Japanese pop stars, Ami and Yumi, and their often exasperated manager, Kaz.

He is right. Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi debuted last November and quickly became a hit. Seasons 2 and 3 were soon greenlit, and new episodes will air this month. Puffy products ― clothing, bags, hats, jewelry, and bedding, among others ― will arrive in stores later this summer.

''It is very strange for us,'' says Yoshimura, between sips of green tea. ''When we heard they wanted to make a show in America we were like. . .it will never actually happen.''

In the show, Ami is the peppy, positive, and resourceful one, Yumi the hard-rocking cynic. ''And that is kind of true about us,'' says Onuki. ''But, well, it is a cartoon,'' a fact that some U.S. fans can't quite get over, hence the need to convey their existence. ''People in America only know us as cartoon characters,'' she says. ''Sometimes they don't believe we are real people, even when we are standing right in front of them.''

Puffy toured the States as a band for the first time back in 2002. ''We'd heard that American audiences are very. . .straightforward,'' says Yoshimura. ''In Texas, we played at a bar, which you don't really do in Japan, and we were afraid they would get drunk and throw things.''

But America has grown on them, from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to reruns of Sex and the City. Though they say nothing tops ''going to big American supermarkets at night.'' Yoshimura: ''That is the most fun of all, because they're so big and have everything you can think of in them ― sometimes candy right next to the medicine!'' In August, they'll have a chance to sample more of this country's wonders as they tour the East Coast.

Before they leave the karaoke booth, Guns N' Roses' ''Paradise City'' comes on. Ami points at Yumi. ''She loves Guns N' Roses.'' Indeed, Yumi begins to hum the lyrics, even slowly swaying. It seems as if some Puffy karaoke might be in the cards after all. ''No,'' says Yumi, but she has a confession to make. ''It's not that we hate karaoke. It's that. . .''

Ami cuts her off: ''It's that she used to do too much of it! I'd call her up at, like, 3 a.m. and she'd be in the booth singing. She'd sing and sing for hours and hours, like she was addicted.''

Yumi grins sheepishly. But that was years ago, right? She's conquered her addiction and can now karaoke once more?

''Well, it wasn't that long ago. It was about. . .three months ago.''

Ami puts her hand on Yumi's shoulder. ''Yes. It's true.''

Yumi sighs and takes another sip of tea. One day at a time, she seems to think to herself, one day at a time.

''People in America only know us as cartoon characters,' What is more frightening is that people is Japan don't think of them that way.

I'm sitting in my Oregon hotel room this morning eating cereal with my 6yr old watching Cartoon Network just now and Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi comes on. I had not heard of the show even though Mulboyne and this thread had brought it up, so I was like "shit, didn't they just speak Nihongo? or am I going through extreme reverse culture shock (I just left Tokyo)?" My son starts laughing and says "papa, hihongo demo shabette iru!" He loves the cartoon and actually it's not too bad. It's like modern day Monkeys wiht girl power and Japanese anime cool added in. Actually htree is always a dose of Japanese culture in each episode.

Very cool seeing cultural fusion go mainstream for kids....there is hope for the world perhaps.

Tokyo Band Puffy AmiYumi Change Name to 'AmiYumi Diddy' (http://www.villagevoice.com/blogs/riffraff/archives/2005/08/tokyo_punks_puf.php)
Village Voice
I'm all for exploitation; was this exploitation? Maybe a little? Even when the artist wills it? By parallel, does the act of a girl showing her breasts at a Mﾃｶtley Crﾃｼe show count for liberation or sad play into the band's broader, misogynistic framework? Even if she's gone to great measures to make sure her breasts are evenly tanned?

(Rant Alert)

Puffy AmiYumi are a passable and occasionally good powerpop-punk band from Tokyo. "Big in Japan" indeed, but weirdly enough, the Cartoon Network show about them is shown in North America, South America, Europe, parts of Asia, but not in Japan (says the band--this may have been a joke?).

Some of their songs sound like ELO ("Tokyo Nights"), other songs sound like what the New Pornographers want to sound like (also "Tokyo Nights"). Other songs sound like TV themes ("Theme to Pokemon", "Theme to Teen Titans"), and exactly one song sounds like "Secret Agent Man." There are other songs; I was preoccupied.

If it's not obvious, I went into this show blind, completely ignorant of the show, the music, the rabid fanbase. These people worship Ami and Yumi, and on a very 2D-to-3D level, I can understand the countless audience freakouts over seeing live human representations of cartoons (who themselves stand in for humans). That's some crazy visual feedback loop shit going on; I wonder if people pump their fists along to the TV show non-stop like they did last night...more (http://www.villagevoice.com/blogs/riffraff/archives/2005/08/tokyo_punks_puf.php)...

Japanese pop duo Puffy is proving a surprise hit in the United States.

Tickets for the pair's five-city tour from New York to Chicago in August completely sold out, and some fans reportedly drove 4 hours just to see them.

With their appearance in the popular cartoon "Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi," their popularity has increased even further overseas, but Ami Onuki and Yumi Yoshimura say they don't plan on changing their style.

"We're doing this, keeping in mind that we've been told we don't need to change our style, and we didn't want to go as far as to change our style ourselves either, so we're pretty happy," Onuki said....more (http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/national/news/20050926p2a00m0et013000c.html)...

...Yumi Yoshimura added: "We want people to also listen to other Japanese artists' music too. In the United States people come to see us because they don't know us and they're curious to see what type of performance we put on. Americans are good at keeping a beat."....
...They shrugged off suggestions that - like Britney Spears and other pop sensations before them - they would be turned by the industry into sex symbols once they stop pulling in young audiences.
..."Going sexy? We can't get any sexier than we are now," Yoshimura joked.
"If we were told to be sexy .I would go home....

I look at this show in context of America's past history of doing a horrible job of selling JPop stars. It is weak in terms of being watchable but it is a hell of a lot better than this abortion was:

Puffy clearly has a niche in America which is more than you can say about Hikaru, Ayumi, Hitomi or Morning Musume have out there. I'm not a HUGE fan of the show but it is decent and I have used it as cannon fodder for my English classes from time to time!

I got an email about that from Puffy's mailing list a few weeks ago. Personally, I think it is great to see JPop stars getting this kind of exposure in America. Hopefully it will widen the niche market for JPop in America.
