Puffy AmiYumi

My favorite label relations manager gave me some tickets to see Puffy AmiYumi on their US Honeycreeper tour. It was my first J-pop show and my first time at the Moore, and thankfully it was a group I was really into during my J-pop days circa 1998. Unfortunately I didn't keep up with Puffy's music after "Puffy de Rumba". The Moore was a like run-down smaller Paramount with the same horrible seats and tiny legroom.

Notes from the show:

  • Very mixed crowd - Japanese girls, grungy goateed Japanophiles, old folks, mixed couples, mixed older couples with kids and fat otakus
  • The band members had English names and Japanese names; which Ami and Yumi annunciated to the crowd: Eric (Shigeo), Van (? Shunchan ?), Jet (Jet!), Max (Pinoko?), Angus (Itsumi). Angus wore plaid shorts like Angus Young from AC/DC
  • Notable songs: Green Day Basketcase cover, Teen Titans theme, Puffy AmiYumi show theme and encore closing song was "Asia no Junshin"

More pics on my flickr - now if only Black Biscuits were to do a reunion tour...

  1. Great pictures. No one from the Puffy AmiYumi World forum seems to have gone to the Seattle show so, if you don’t mind, I might be posting your pics with credits later.
