Hopefully never, I didn't understand that show or who it was for.
Some exec who heard them on the radio and decided they were his new favorite band.
That's unironically it.
I think Warner Bros just wanted to promote the band in this way, they were on Warner's music label and they did the music for Teen Titans
*did the theme song for Teen Titans
Didn't the band broke up
The actual band or the cartoon one? Puffy is still around, not sure about the cartoon one.
>Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi
I remember wanting to plow the goth one.
WHEN THERE’S TRABBUR YOU KNOW WHO TO CAW
>Ami was 30+ when the show came out
Hags
At this point, Ami has a 19 year old daughter and Yumi has a 10 year old son.
Both of them are almost 50, too.
With the same guy? Who stole whos husband again?
It's pretty cool that they've stayed together and managed to keep their careers going after all this time.
>Both of them are almost 50, too.
Thats kind of cool actually.
Wait, so they're not lesbians?

Speaking of music, the other show that this is referencing has a banger soundtrack.
Reminder that this was the final episode that ever aired in the US
Meanwhile in Latam, not only we got a second season but a cool intro.
Didn't one of them cheat on T.M. Revolution?
Very interesting CN thought the US would be interested in J-POP that early on to warrant giving this an animated series. If it had the punch of TTG's humor, it would have been around longer.
There had been multiple attempts to "localize" j-pop before that, Utada Hikaru was arguably the only halfway successful crossover. The problem is the music is usually too idiomatic and corny, loaded with tropes that only seem to fly in Mexico and similar. J-rock and visual KEI suffered similar fates.
I liked this show when it aired, never understood why they suddenly felt like promoting a japanese pop group.
Anime was making bank, video games were making bank, j-pop is cheap to produce and cheap to promote. Acts like dir en grey and mana sold out stadiums in the US. Execs had a good read on the market but completely fricked up the specifics and demographics. There were some spectacular failures in the 90s as well, but I'd have to look them up because they flopped so hard.
The early to mid 00's were probably the height of Japanese culture's popularity in the U.S. and worldwide. Not only were people playing Japanese vidya and watching/reading anime and manga but they were also watching Japanese live action movies(and doing shitty American remakes of their horror movies) and listening to Jap music that wasn't just the OST of vidya and anime, like Jpop and visual kei and shit like that. Now days of course Jpop has been taken over in international popularity by Kpop, nobody outside of Japan gives a shit about visual Kei, and nobody watches Japanese live action movies that don't have Godzilla in them. Vidya and anime remain the only real Japanese pop culture people give a shit about.
Is Ami Yumi around? I haven’t heard anything about them in forever
