Puffy (パフィー) or Puffy AmiYumi (パフィー・アミユミ) as they are known in the United States (due to legal naming conflicts with Sean Combs, a/k/a "Sean 'Puffy' Combs" or "Puff Daddy"), is a Japanese Japanese pop duo. Ami Onuki, whose nickname is "Jane", and Yumi Yoshimura, nicknamed "Sue", were scouted by two different talent agencies and put together in 1995, and soon Puffy-Mania would begin. Their first release "Asia no junshin" ("True Asia") sold a million records and their success continued with several more full-length releases (totalling 14 million sales in Japan). They hosted their own weekly TV show, "Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Puffy", with guests such as Lenny Kravitz, Sylvester Stallone, Harrison Ford, and rock band Garbage. Their music has been largely a collaboration between producer Tamio Okuda, American singer-songwriter Andy Sturmer of the band Jellyfish (band), regular session musicians, and lastly Ami and Yumi themselves. Ami and Yumi's vocals are likened to US vocal sister group The Roches. They often sing whole songs together with harmonies. The songs borrow heavily from the Beatles and other artists such as ABBA, The Who and Carpenters. Their genre is usually defined as J-Pop, more specifically it can be categorised as Shibuya-kei. After 2000 they have been less in the limelight in native Japan with their TV show winding up in 2002. Instead they have set the compass for the USA with promotional tours, releasing previous Japanese releases and two such songs were the theme songs of Teen Titans (animated series) and Superior Defender Gundam Force. They might be the reason for the increase in English language songs in their repertoire. The duo have their own animated show in the U.S. on Cartoon Network called ''Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi'' which premiered on November 19, 2004. The show is an "anime-style" comedy featuring super deformed animated versions of Ami and Yumi as well as their manager Kaz. The animated Ami and Yumi are voiced by American actresses and not by Ami and Yumi themselves, but the real Ami and Yumi did perform the theme song (in English) as well as star in short live-action segments taped in Japan (featuring the girls speaking in both Japanese - sans subtitles - and heavily accented English), and the show also features some of Puffy's music. Sony has released a companion album to "Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi" in the U.S., including some English reworkings of their Japanese hits as well as, of course, the "Teen Titans" theme. ==Discography== ===Albums=== *''AmiYumi'' (1996) *''solo-solo'' (1997) a 2-CD set, each containing songs performed by one member, and released under their individual names. *''Jet-CD'' (1998) *''The Hit Parade'' - covers of Japanese pop songs from the 1970s and 80s. *''Fever Fever'' (1999) *''Spike (Puffy AmiYumi album)'' (2001) *''Nice.''
