PUFFY AMIYUMI BIO
Ami Onuki (Sept. 18, 1973)
Yumi Yoshimura (Jan. 30, 1975)
Puffy AmiYumi debut in 1996 with the single "Asia No Junshin" produced by Tamio Okuda.
Soon after, they continue to release hits such as "Kore ga Watashi no Ikiru Michi",
"Circuit no Musume", "Nagisa ni Matsuwaru Et Ceterta" and more.
Since their debut Puffy AmiYumi have gained recognition in Asia and other countries
allowing them to perform at SXSW in 2000 and officially starting their music career in the U.S.
Releasing many albums and touring America, they start to appear in college charts, reknown publications and
create a buzz.
In fall of 2004, Cartoon Network airs a cartoon about Ami & Yumi called "Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi".
The 1st episode's ratings left great results and became popular amongst the kids right away.
Gradually the cartoon was aired in 110 different countries and in 2005 Puffy AmiYumi make an appearance as the
first Japanese to be a part of the MACY'S Thanksgiving Day Parade.
In January 2006, they were appointed the Goodwill Ambassadors of the Visit Japan Campaign
and last year released their latest album "Honeycreeper".
They can proudly be named the Japanese pop icons that continue to conquer the world.
