I'm with you, Jarkza! Puffy was also the 2nd j-group I got into way back when, and while I'm not as big a fan as I once was, I still try to catch them in concert whenever they perform in my area, and my autographed Puffy cd still sits proudly on my shelf! I think the reason they don't get much love in this forum is because they've been around for such a long time and are considered a bit old when compared to all the young artists around. Girl groups unfairly lose a lot of their popularity as they get older. Even i'm guilty of forgetting about them occasionally, but I will always be a fan of Ami & Yumi!

they're pretty old AFAIK, they're either in late 20's or early 30's.
i do like some of their songs (not the teen titan theme !!!)

the reason why i'm drawn to their music is the music style they
pursue is really a retro american rock/pop music.

i heard that the ideas/composing all came from that guitarist guy
which i think who's even older than ami & yumi. anyway i pay high
respect for them for still being in the music industry making quality
music even after all these years !!! :lol:
ZONE gave me the strength and energy to my life... they're just like vitamins.

mmm.. yes... lucky you americans who get to see them live, not to mention that you can see their program ^-^
And they're not that old for me, I heard about them only less than a year ago :wub:

(I think most of the people here know them only from the dance game competition with MM :lol:)

so, are they really any popular in USA?

in a word...no. Puffy is still way under the radar here in the U.S. and have almost zero mainstream publicity other than their animated series and the Teen Titans theme song. You won't find them on any American radio stations or on MTV, so unless you watch a lot of Cartoon Network or are into Asian pop culture, the only Puffy most Americans know is P-Diddy. :w00t:

I love Puffy. Easily one of my favorite bands, I never miss an episode of Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi if I can help it. The only reason I really watch the show so much is because it is Puffy. I've yet to see them in concert, though I really want to. Sucks that their concerts come as such bad times. I always have some major obligation when they're close.
*wipes tear* So long ZONE...so young, but your music will live on!

They are under the radar in Japan too. Many people just don't care much about Puffy anymore other there. At least they did their best to come and sang songs over here in North America. Actually, they came to Vancouver twice before. Too bad I missed both shows...

wow the puffy thread isn't that popular here! thats a shame cos i think puffy are one of the best j-pop groups. ok they've been around a while but so what eh? i love them for the simple fact that they dont do cutesy music or the whole cutesy image that nearly every j-pop artists does.
i also love the diversity of their records and the fact that they have a very 60's beatlish feel to some of them.
i think everyone should check out the albums Jet cd and Fever fever cd as they are two of the best j-pop albums ever! the amount of different styles of music and influences on those records make them records you can't bore off. they even do a black sabbathesque song on the jet cd! darn good lol.

they've been going for quite a long time, especially for a female act, as generally people go off female artists when they turn from girls to women lol and as both ami and yumi are in their 30s now they deserve a lot of respect for still going!
the only problem i have with puffy is the puffy amiyumi cartoon side, as people tend to think of that when they think of puffy instead of the great music they've done.
Boogie woogie No.5 has to be one of the coolest and best songs to come from japan period! lol :)

Ah, PUFFY...I got into them almost ten years ago, and they're STILL my all-time favorite (which my Japanese friends find bizarre). I even got to meet them a couple of times...they're really funny and jaw-droppingly gorgeous...
