JUDY AND MARY’s famous and popular songs
Let me introduce some songs by JUDY AND MARY (often affectionately called “Judy Mari”), a rock band beloved by many.
Speaking of Judy Mari, they’re also well known for having YUKI—who has a successful solo career—as their vocalist.
Formed in 1991, they were one of the most popular bands representing the ’90s, but sadly disbanded in 2001.
One of Judy Mari’s biggest charms is, of course, YUKI’s voice—you can tell it’s her after just a few notes.
Her uniquely distinctive vocals are incredibly captivating.
As for the origin of the band’s name, it’s said to represent two girls: “Judy,” who is cheerful and positive, and “Mary,” who is a bit twisted and negative.
The duality fits YUKI, which is why the name was chosen.
Knowing this background might help you appreciate Judy Mari’s music on a deeper level.

Top 10 iconic and popular songs by JUDY AND MARY (Judy Mari)
You are alive.JUDY AND MARY
It’s included on their third album, “MIRACLE DIVING.” It’s a straightforward and beautiful song apparently composed by bassist Yoshito Onda.
Since it wasn’t included on any best-of compilations, you could call it a true hidden gem.
ClassicJUDY AND MARY
Their 10th single, a major hit with total sales of 632,000 copies (according to Oricon).
It’s a beautiful medium-tempo ballad with a refreshing yet bittersweet melody line, and in the music video, YUKI-chan sings in a mature, bright red dress—she looked wonderful.
Brand New Wave Upper GroundJUDY AND MARY
Their 18th single.
It was their first release after roughly a year-long hiatus, reaching as high as No.
4 on the Oricon chart.
It was used in a Pocari Sweat commercial.
Near the end of the song, there’s a quote from the Beatles’ “Come Together.”

BATHROOMJUDY AND MARY
The B-side of the single “LOVER SOUL.” It was used in a cosmetics commercial.
Around that time, YUKI was also popular as a fashion icon for young women, and her style was frequently featured in magazines.
Many women around me were fans of YUKI.
DAY DREAMJUDY AND MARY
Their third single.
It peaked at No.
52 on the Oricon chart.
This song is from before they broke through.
Around this time, Judy and Mary had quite a few punk-style tracks dealing with themes like loneliness and impatience, which I think gives them a slightly different vibe from the widely known image of the band.
This song has that feel too.
Kujira No. 12JUDY AND MARY
Their 11th single.
It peaked at No.
5 on the Oricon chart.
This track will send chills with TAKUYA’s guitar technique and Kaito Onda’s bassline.
According to composer TAKUYA, the “12” in the title comes from soccer jersey numbers—specifically the supporter’s number, 12—so it’s meant as a cheer song for Japan’s national soccer team.
Very fitting for soccer fanatic TAKUYA.
A Colorful WorldJUDY AND MARY
A single cut from the fifth album, POP LIFE.
Among the songs solely written and composed by TAKUYA, this is the only one that was released as a single.
TAKUYA has a lot of great songs, though.
YUKI’s expansive vocals match the feel of the track, making it a truly beautiful piece.
