YUKI's solo work is innovative, creative, and miles beyond JAM's rock music. Compare JAM's style to what was coming out of Japan in the 90's and then YUKI's to what is coming out of Japan in the pop industry now. YUKI as a solo artist is closer to an artist like Bjork than JAM as a rock band is to someone like Tokyo Jihen. YUKI had less control in JAM and as a result her solo act is 110% unadulterated YUKI. The little hysteric fits, the tears, the interpretative dance, the bizarre but endearing quirks. Her pop music is also miles above and away from JAM's, I mean, when I first heard JAM it was through FRESH and as each track came on I was disappointed with how typical it sounded for japanese rock music. you can't possible say the same for YUKI's pop music, its like crack.
