PUFFY finally return to NYC!

I somehow have a feeling this is going to be every east coaster's last, best chance to see Puffy live.

Puffy are coming to the New York Anime Festival (nee Comic Con) this fall. Hard to believe, but this will be Puffy's first appearance in New York City since 2006. Why, I remember that show like it was yesterday...

But this is not only a concert. Say the organizers:

Puffy AmiYumi will be appearing at the New York Anime Festival and New York Comic Con throughout the weekend for panel discussions and autograph signings before taking the stage on Sunday night at Irving Plaza. Tickets to FETES are $22 in advance and $25 at the doors. Tickets can be ordered at Irving Plaza's Box Office or via Ticketmaster starting July 9th.

Panel discussions and autographs! Sounds like they're trying to make up for lost time here.

The ticket prices for the concert event are quite reasonable, however I'm sure you'll need to buy tickets to NYAF separately for the discussions and signings.

As I've got a business to run these days, I actually can't guarantee I'll be there - but I'm buying tickets on the 9th, and I'm gonna try my best.

UPDATE: Tickets are now on sale!

Follow Puffy on Twitter

Puffy has started tweeting on Twitter, not only updates but they are also posting up a slew of pictures of their latest tour and so on. So even if you do not read Japanese this is a win-win situation for everyone.

Here are a couple pics from Puffy's Twitpic feed. It is really great to see Ami playing guiter and Yumi smiling is always heartwarming.

Image Down Live

Here is a gem of a live performance that the always awesome bonsaipark tracked down on YouTube.

Like him, I cannot recall ever seeing Ami and Yumi perform Image Down from the Hit Parade cover album. Paul Gilbert is a guest guitarist for the performance, which makes it more distinctive than the usual TV performances they have done over the years.



Now another vid... a funny commercial from Ami and Yumi for J-Oil Mills that was also uploaded by puffyvino125 on YouTube. As Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is playing in the background it must have been shot somewhere between 2005 and 2007.



I like this commercial maybe because of its low budget and quick production… rather than in spite of. It shows a more normal walk of life of Ami and Yumi during a promotional gig rather than a heavily produced and choreographed commercial.

Been really quiet on the Puffy news front, but the back half of the year looks to be busy.

P.S. Thanks again to bonsaipark!

New Puffy Mow Advert

This looks to be the new Mow advert by Puffy. The new song Banzai! being used in the advert... I think I need to hear the whole thing but I am a little iffy.



Hat tip and thanks to BonsaiPark!

Dareka Ga Promotional Video

Just a quick post up. I had not seen Puffy's Dareka Ga video. While not new, it is new to me as I never saw it come across my YouTube trawling. I like the video for Ami and Yumi's silliness, but it also reminds me of Sunrise which was a touch too artistic. So I am kind of mixed over all, but I like the music itself... then again I liked Sunrise too.
