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.

JUDY AND MARY’s Classic and Popular Songs (21–30)

Cheese “PIZZA” / ChristmasJUDY AND MARY

It’s the fifth single by JUDY AND MARY, a rock band that defined the ’90s.

Many might find it nostalgic, but this song is a Christmas classic! It’s also a hit at karaoke.

Makes you crave a cheese pizza, doesn’t it… (lol).

It’s included on their sixth album, WARP.

This track showcases the high level of skill in the drums, guitar, and bass.

The powerful, eccentric vocal delivery by YUKI is also striking, as she sings the cute yet subtly perilous lyrics with a deliberately off-kilter touch.

The B-side track to their 14th single “Sanpomichi,” which was a major hit.

It is the last song composed by bassist Kaoru Okuda for JUDY AND MARY.

It showcases Okuda’s distinctive style and is finished as a fresh, crystal-clear number.

Their 14th single.

It’s a rare track composed by drummer Kota Igarashi, but it became quite a hit, peaking at No.

3 on the Oricon charts.

I think it’s a really great song, with a universal melody and structure that anyone can love.

On the Judy and Mary tribute album, Tamio Okuda covers it.

Their 20th single.

It’s cute yet cool, and even now it doesn’t feel dated at all.

Personally, I think this is the song that best showcases how amazing the band JUDY AND MARY is.

I also love how decisively it wraps up in just three minutes.

I’ll write a letter.JUDY AND MARY

Their 17th single.

It’s the second track to be released as a single from the fifth album, “POP LIFE,” following “Irotoridori no Sekai.” Since they announced a hiatus after this release, it still leaves me feeling a bit wistful whenever I listen to it.

It was used in the commercial for “Vegetable Soup Noodles.” It’s a song that carefully nurtures YUKI’s slightly mysterious and cute sense.

It’s surprising to think it’s been more than 20 years since her major debut.

Is she on hiatus now?
