Ami and Yumi have sold over 14 million records in Japan and have become a phenomenon in the United States since a Cartoon Network show "Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi" debuted in November 2004. The dynamite duo even performed in Macy's 2005 Thanksgiving Day Parade.

In January 2006 Ami and Yumi were appointed goodwill ambassadors to the United States as part of the Japanese government's campaign to encourage tourism to Japan.
