Puffy Gappy

Found this picture of my girls Ami and Yumi in a Gap ad over at Asian Sirens (NSFW—the site, not Puffy). Not that I care about Gap, but I do like me some Puffy.

You'll notice that I don't write, "Puffy AmiYumi." That's because I think their American moniker is just stupid. Like anyone was ever going to confuse two Japanese girls for one megalomaniacal black man. But anyway.

If you only know Puffy's music from the (terrible) cartoon, I highly recommend you dig a little deeper into their back catalog. I like them for a number of reasons, and aside from the obvious (かわいい) they have some really good songs. This is due chiefly to their songwriters, like Tamio Okudo of Unicorn and Andy Sturmer of Jellyfish.

I've also found their music good for learning Japanese.
