Puffy AmiYumi to tackle Teen Titans
The dynamic duo of J-Pop Ami and Yumi are taking on DC Comics' Teen Titans to premiere on Cartoon Network this year. Japanese pop music act, Puffy AmiYumi are in the studio this week recording the theme song for the new Warner Brother's animation Teen Titans.
Puffy AmiYumi are actually Ami Onuki and Yumi Yoshimura known in Japan as simply "Puffy." The duo just finished touring the US and Canada last July promoting their album, "An Illustrated History." That CD is a compilation of their best material from the last 5 years of their highly successful career in Japan. Puffy has worked hard to make their presence know in North America and share their remarkable energy and unique style of music. With the theme song for Teen Titans, Puffy will reach a whole new market of fans.
Teen Titans is based on characters introduced in the DC comic-book series The New Teen Titans by Marv Wolfman and George Perez. The show will follow the angst-filled adventures of teenage superheroes Robin, Cyborg, Starfire, Beast Boy and Raven as they join forces to protect Earth from a new generation of villains.
"Cartoon Network has experienced great success with Justice League, so we know we have a loyal audience ready to embrace this exciting new show," Jim Samples, Cartoon Network general manager and executive vice president, said in a press release. "These DC Comics characters have incredible powers, but struggle with how to use them." Teen Titans will debut next year on Cartoon Network, followed by broadcast on Kids' WB!
