While we're on the topic of JUDY AND MARY, does anyone know why they broke up? Was it just the typical creative differences, etc deal?
It's truly tragic that they broke up when they could still pump out material like this:
I wish they had "Behind the Music" for Japanese artists. =[ |

They decided to break up right before I got into them. That's how I remember it, but it's been sooooo long ago I can't be certain. |

motto is definitely one of JAM's best songs and the only track by JAM I actually seek out and listen to amongst YUKI's solo works. the video is AWESOME and it was shot live (the sound source was done live in one take, so it differs from the actual studio recording) which is pretty awesome too.
JAM just went their separate ways peacefully more or less. YUKI started to do some random side projects in late 90's and early 00's with Mean Machine, NiNa, and Chara, and then less than a year after Judy and Mary's last album and final tour she released her first solo single and album and has been solo ever since. She also has been pretty adamant about not performing any JAM material and they haven't really made any statements as a group or done any sort of appearances together, so you could theorize there might be some bad blood, but since the group was started by YUKI and the bassist originally, I think it just time, they just wanted to work on other projects. edit: this is pretty effing awesome

Been listening to a bit of JAM today and thought I'd look up the translations that used to be available at http://www.geocities.com/judyandmarylyrics/ . Well since geocities has long since gone done they are no longer available, anyone know if they are now anywhere else on the internet?
Or will I have to study Japanese hard for a couple more years to get what she is saying.... |

http://web.archive.org/web/200711071...andmarylyrics/ You might want to save them somewhere though, because I'm not sure how long the page will stay up. |

HOLY SHIT.
akfjdslkjf I've been fruitlessly looking for a way to get that site back, because I loved it and wanted nothing more than to see it again. Thank you so freaking much! ;_____;

Can I just say that I really, really like her new single? The first time I heard it with the almost reggae/loungey kinda intro, I was like "Eh??", but watching her performance and interview on MS really got the song under my skin; it's so warm and happy and unpretentious that it makes me want to go out and fall in love and have a reason to sing this song. Even the lyrics which I'd call out for being hackneyed and mawkish typically work here. I guess I'm a fan!
I was never familiar with JAM (still am not) but YUKI's music almost always strikes a chord with me, whether she's being angsty (Nemuri hime) or happy (all her JOY and after stuff). |
