Moshi-moshi...Hi, Hi, Puffy AmiYumi! Do you Dance Dance Revolution? Waaaaaa!!!!!!I hope the shinkansen fans didn't mob ya! :) Rickyrab 21:46, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

o.O.... I don't like their music. I emailed sony once about their website. Sony was happy to read from me. But still. This reminds me of Millie Vanilli. --Cyberman 02:28, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

• • They can actually sing!I love them. I wish they would comet to my city for a show!**

Oh, they're okay, I guess. Not a big fan really. I'm not into rock--I listen to ambient dub. "Planet Tokyo" and "V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N" were alright. I speak Japanese by the way, and moshi-moshi is for the phone. --Gravity Control, center swarm of the Zero Gravity Zone.

This talk page is to improve the article, not you talking about your'e opinion, no offence.`Atomic45 05:12, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Links

Am I the only one who thinks that the links might not be legal? Are they?--68.170.86.111 02:53, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

How are they not legal? They seem fine to me. --Snkcube 06:09, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm fairly sure they're not illegal, not in anyway I can see. The links to the "Official Photo Album" and "the Very Best of Puffy / AmiYumi Jet Fever Official Album Site" might be a tad spammy though. Wikipedia:External links. DarthInsinuate 12:23, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

That's what I mean. Aren't those things copywrighted?--68.170.86.111 23:33, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

• I think you're confusing things, big time. You also spelled "copyrighted" wrong. There's no copyright violation in posting a link to an external site. And if the sites themselves happen to contain an outside party's copyrighted material, that's not a Wikipedia concern. The sites you refer to are fine though. --CJ Marsicano 21:03, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

See WP:EL - they're not fine. Anything that's not an official site should not be linked to, so I have removed the Geocities sites and the forum, because they are linkspam. MSJapan 08:13, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plagarism

How can we deal with the issue that the melody to the teen titans theme and secret agent man are too similar to be a coincidence? This is the same thing that happened with that "I want a new drug" song and the ghostbusters music. And I don't want to get pointless flak from puffy fans who want to cover up the obvious fact that this is a smash and grab of a popular classic 60s rock song, give me real reasons why this doesn't belong in the article, if it actually doesn't. If it's for veracity, listen to the songs and hear for yourself. Barring that, what would qualify as a reliable source for this? --Hrodulf 05:05, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kaz

Why does Kaz Harada redirect to Puffy AmiYumi? Surely he should have his own article? --zeldamaster3 20:17, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

He does have his own article, but there is hardly any information.Atomic45 05:17, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Featured?

Can we nominate Puffy AmiYumi as a featured article. I think it's pretty extensive now--zeldamaster3 12:37 21 June 2006 (GMT)

Featured? No, I think it will fail. It would not even reach good article status. There are no references at all. And the article has no "history" section, how they met each other, etc. There is only a paragraph in the lead, but nothing more. The images don't have a fair use rationale, dates are given in "Month Day", "m/d" and "Day Month" format (choose only one format), etc. -- ReyBrujo 12:41, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Official MySpace Page

Today is June 26 and on the profile, [1] there are 4 new songs:

1. Call Me what you Like
2. Go Buddy Power Now
3. Tokyo I'm On My Way
4. MoleLike

If this is not an official profile then how do they have these songs, Splurge isn't even released yet! --zeldamaster3 16:38, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

According to Tofu Records it is an official page --zeldamaster3 14:01, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Check it out, it's at the bottom!

Is there any link to an established website? Note that emails sent to any editor are not reliable sources, since we can't verify them. Also, do not inline images in talk pages. -- ReyBrujo 17:44, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Joining a Fanclub

Why did they make the music video and not release it as a single???

--Zeldamaster3 14:35, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure, but I suppose they didn't have to release it as a single. Maybe they felt that it wasn't needed?

TakaraLioness 19:34, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move?

Puffy AmiYumi is only what they're known as in the United States, and they're a Japanese group. I believe it would be appropriate to rename this article to PUFFY, which is currently a redirect page. --Gray Porpoise 19:49, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

That makes sense. I won't object to the move.

TakaraLioness 20:17, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I think it's a good idea, you won't be hearing any objections from me.Atomic45 05:15, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Split outs

Main article had too much detail. Long discography section now split into separate article, as it tours section. Wasted Time R 03:55, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
