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.

BIRTHDAY SONGJUDY AND MARY
It’s included on the fourth album, THE POWER SOURCE.
It’s the first track on the album, and the sheer coolness of that intro hit me like a shock.
And then the chorus has a heartbreakingly wistful melody line—irresistible.
For some reason, this song even feels a bit sensual.
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.
thump-thump; heart pounding; excited/nervousJUDY AND MARY
Their 8th single.
It peaked at No.
8 on the Oricon chart.
Despite its simple melody and song structure, YUKI’s uniquely cute vocal style really shines in this track.
The music video is designed with a school theme, featuring the band performing in what looks like a gymnasium while wearing school-uniform-inspired outfits—looking so youthful and adorable when you watch it now.
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.
