4	Ami Onuki and Yumi Yoshimura are a pair of Japanese pop stars that came together and rose to popularity in The90s and have been active for over two decades.
5
6	In their native Japan, their act is just called Puffy; they were rechristened as Puffy ''[=AmiYumi=]'' when they traveled to the United States, to avoid confusion with rapper Music/SeanCombs, who occasionally uses that moniker.
7
8	They have starred in two {{variety show}}s, ''Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Puffy'' (wherein they met and interacted with famous guests such as Creator/HarrisonFord and Creator/SylvesterStallone) and more recently ''Hi Hi Puffy Bu'', and [[NotQuiteStarring not quite starred]] in an American AnimatedSeries, ''WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi''. They are also famous for having recorded the theme song for the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' series in both English and Japanese.

10	----
11	!!Puffy [=AmiYumi=] provides examples of the following tropes:
12
13	* AnimeThemeSong:
14	** They have performed the opening theme for ''Manga/BunnyDrop'', and other songs for ''Anime/OhEdoRocket'', ''Anime/PokemonLucarioAndTheMysteryOfMew'', ''Anime/SDGundamForce'', ''Manga/HatarakiMan'', ''Anime/GenjiMonogatariSennenki'', ''Anime/NarutoShippudenTheMovieInheritorsOfTheWillOfFire''. Additionally, they performed the ending theme for ''[[Anime/ShimaShimaToraNoShimajiro Shimajirō no Wao!]]'', as well as some of the music in the 2017 Shimajirō movie.
15	** They also performed themes for ''Anime/TokyoPig'' individually: Ami's song "Tadaima" is the ending theme, while Yumi's "Tsuyoki na Futari" is one of its openings.
16	* AlbumFiller: "Robot Prototype Version 0.2", "Natsuyasumi Prototype", and "Puffy de Bossa" (all from ''Fever*Fever'') are all so short that there's no doubting they're likely filler.
17	* AutoTune: The girls' voices are Auto-Tuned in the song "Wake Up, Make Up".
18	* BandToon: ''WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi''
19	* BreakupSong: "So Long Zero".
20	* CarSong: "Hayai Kuruma" (literally means "Fast Car").
21	* ChristmasSongs: "R.G.W."
22	* CoverAlbum:
23	** Single-Artist Tribute albums: ''The Hit Parade'' and ''Puffy Ami Yumi x Puffy''.
24	** Tribute album: ''Puffy Covers'', covered by artists such as Music/ThePillows, Kazuyoshi Saito and Guitar Wolf.
25	* FadeOut: A good amount of their songs do this.
26	* FadingIntoTheNextSong : The outro of "Hatarakuyo" fades into "Puffy de Bossa".
27	* GratuitousEnglish: Some of their Japanese songs will have a few English language lines.
28	* GreatestHitsAlbum: ''The Very Best of Puffy'', ''Hit & Fun'', and ''15''. The tie-in album for ''WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi'' mostly counts, though it does feature original recordings as well.
29	* IntercourseWithYou: "Pool Nite" (also known as "Swimming Pool") and arguably "Kuchibiru Motion".
30	* JungleDrums: "Ai no Shirushi"
31	* LoveIsADrug: The song "Your Love Is A Drug" from the album ''Nice.''
32	* UsefulNotes/MacysThanksgivingDayParade: Appeared in the 2005 edition on a float based on their cartoon series.
33	* MetalScream: Yumi at the beginning of her solo cover of Masahiko Kondo's song "High-Teen Boogie".
34	* NonAppearingTitle: A large amount of their songs (mostly their Japanese songs) do not say the title.
35	* SillyLoveSongs: "Love So Pure" and "Forever", among others.
36	* SingerNamedrop: "Youkai PUFFY" and "Puffy no Rule" not only have their band name in the title, but the lyrics as well. Several other songs have the name in the title.
37	* SongOfSongTitles: The outro of "Dare Ga Sore O" references several of their songs.
38	* SongStyleShift: "Hare Onna", which starts out with a relatively calm, acoustic verse and the chorus happens and you're blasted with electric guitars.
39	* TheSomethingSong: "Hajimari no Uta", "Haru no Uta", and "Sakura no Hanaga Saku Amai Amai Kisetsu no Uta".
40	* VocalTagTeam
41	* AWildRapperAppears: The song "Wake Up, Make Up" features Ani and Bose from the Japanese rap group Scha Dara Parr. Though, it isn't in the middle of the song, it's close to the beginning.
42	* WordSaladLyrics: "Asia no Junshin" ("Naive Asia") almost seems like random words thrown together. An example of Administrivia/TropesAreNotBad, as the song was both their first single and a BreakthroughHit.
