BABY”Q”JUDY AND MARY30rank/position

It’s included on their first album, “J.A.M.” It’s a mid-tempo track with a slightly mature vibe.

The stylish, pop-leaning rock sound is brought to life by YUKI’s cute yet eccentric vocals.

The first track on the debut album “J.A.M.” It’s pure punk.

The first album clearly reflects the band concept of Kaichiro Onda, the leader of JUDY AND MARY.

Personally, I liked this direction too, so I would have loved to hear more punkish songs.

Tried singing — JUDY AND MARY — The Temperature of a Kiss — cover

It’s the B-side track of their 11th single, “Kujira 12-gou.” Its romantic lyrics and complex irregular meter are captivating.

What’s amazing about the band Judy and Mary is that even songs that sound cute at first listen or seem simply structured often have intricate arrangements and don’t go the straightforward route.

POWER OF LOVEJUDY AND MARY33rank/position

POWER OF LOVE

This is JUDY AND MARY’s major-label debut single, released in September 1993, where YUKI’s airy vocals and the deliberately sparse arrangement create a unique sonic world.

Its experimental structure, markedly different from their later hits, likely left many listeners puzzled at the time.

The unadorned lyrics sing of the impatience and loneliness felt in a corner of the city, yet quietly affirm the latent energy within the listener.

Although it debuted modestly at No.

95 on the Oricon chart, it stands as the band’s origin, later included on their first album, “J•A•M.” When you’re hesitating to take a step forward or want to trust your authentic self, this work is sure to gently nudge you from behind.

The coupling track for the 20th single, “motto.” A number overflowing with freshness overall, from the band sound and melody to the lyrics.

TAKUYA’s usually tricky guitar work is kept restrained, resulting in an easy-to-listen, pleasantly ear-friendly finish.

Cheese “PIZZA” / ChristmasJUDY AND MARY35rank/position

Cheese Pizza Live and Lyric

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).
