		Puffy AmiYumi became synonymous with the kind of kitschy, catchy, kitchen-sink pop that Americans associate with Japanese music — part Monkees, part Pizzicato 5, part Shonen Knife meets the Spice Girls performed by bubbly, tremendously fashionable young girls — only America hadn't gotten its tushy on the Puffy bandwagon yet.
		Now, with the success of a Cartoon Network show ("Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi") loosely based on their career, Puffy AmiYumi is on the verge of U.S. superstardom (at least among the tween and pre-tween set) to match the runaway celebrity they've enjoyed in Japan for the past nine years.

	Puffy AmiYumi: Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi - PopMatters Music Review
		He recruited Puffy to record a theme for Teen Titans, and emboldened by its success, the network offered the group their own show, which, in turning the singers into wide-eyed anime characters, seems poised to leverage their undeniable cuteness for the Disney-radio set and transform the group into the new Hello Kitty.
		But by playing up their kid-friendly cuddliness, Puffy is in danger of alienating their cult audience by making it seem regressive if not slightly sinister to adore them, as their mainstream move shifts fans from the esoteric fringe to the heart of the tweener shopping mall.
		But as long as Puffy and their musical directors continue to look to great pop of past decades rather than the current charts for inspiration, they'll continue making ebullient and effervescent pop that's pointless to try to resist.

	DVD Verdict Review - Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi: Rock Forever!
		J-Pop duo Puffy AmiYumi (or simply "Puffy") may be stars in their native Japan, but were relatively unknown in America before receiving their own show on the Cartoon Network in 2004.
		Though the real-life Ami and Yumi are both in their early 30s, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi reinvents them as teenagers who seem to be stuck on some sort of perpetual American tour.
		Puffy's music, which was largely written and produced by Andy Sturmer of power pop band The Jellyfish, is surprisingly catchy and engaging.

	Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi: Let's Go! Movie Review at Hollywood Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Pop duo Puffy AmiYumi (or just "Puffy" in their native Japan) has come a long way since rising to stardom in their home country nearly a decade ago.
		Of course, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is aimed at a very young crowd, mainly six- to 15-year-olds, so concerned parents can rest assured that "rock star clichés" such as drug abuse, sex, and violence are not part of the show, not even close.
		Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is harmless, silly fun presented in seven-minute skits shot through with Puffy's infectious pop soundtrack, which finds its origins somewhere between Disneyfied versions of The Beatles and The Ramones.

	Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi
		Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is an American animated television series produced by Renegade Animation for the Cartoon Network, which was created by Sam Register, who also serves as the series' executive producer.
		The real Puffy AmiYumi performs the show's theme song (in English), and many episodes feature one (or more) of the duo's songs playing in the background, along with music by their American muse, Andy Sturmer.
		Their adventures in the first season were criticized as clich©-ridden by internet board posters; a new writing staff was brought in for the second season and some improvement was seen.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Puffy Amiyumi: Hi Hi Puffy Amiyumi
		The incredible thing about Puffy Amiyumi is that for J-pop, they really aren't all that sugary.
		While it's difficult to imagine anybody with a heart and a sense of humor not enjoying their bright, shiny, primary colors and guitar-driven pop, a dedicated fan assures us that the album's English-centric song selection was unfortunate.
		It is, admittedly, a pretty awesome song, but sort of a limp note on which to go out, and jarringly irrelevant to the band's preferred lyrical subject matter.
