10.4.2011 - New Best-of Release "15"
In celebration of Puffy's 15th anniversary, a brand-new compilation album (entitled 15) will be released on November 23rd. The album will come in two varieties: a regular 2 CD edition, and a limited 2 CD/1 DVD edition that also comes with a face towel designed by Rodney Alan Greenblat (who designed almost all of the jackets for Puffy's early singles). No word on the track list yet, but don't be surprised if it resembled a singles collection, with maybe a new song or two added. CDJapan links for each edition:

The anime is set to air in July 2011, while the film has a release date of August 20.

17. Happy Birthday
There are some nice surprises on the album -- the most obvious being that Ami and Yumi are responsible for almost all of the lyrics on the record, which has never happened before. Tamio Okuda also appears on two songs, the most he's been on a Puffy album since Splurge (perhaps not coincidentally, Puffy's last big "anniversary" album). Also of note is the track "Wake up, Make up," featuring members of the hip-hop group Scha Dara Parr -- Puffy has never really done too much with hip-hop before, so if that track goes in that direction it could be interesting. The limited edition DVD, as expected, contains every Puffy PV since Funclips Funclub was released in May, 2005.
1.14.2011 - New Single & Album
The news has been out for a little while now, but Puffy has a new single coming out on February 9th entitled Happy Birthday, and their 15th anniversary album -- Thank You! -- drops a month later on March 9th. The limited edition single comes with a DVD of live performances, while the album's limited edition comes with a bonus DVD full of PVs (which is long overdue, as Puffy hasn't released a PV collection since Funclips Funclub back in 2005).
10.19.2010 - "R.G.W." Covers Revealed
The limited and regular edition covers for Puffy's upcoming holiday single have been released:
On another note, thank you very much to the people who have ordered things from CDJapan through my affiliate program. I really appreciate you doing so.
10.7.2010 - New Single Info

2. Jet Love (lyrics: Yumi Yoshimura/music: Shigeo Naka)
