Judy and Mary (often stylized as JUDY AND MARY) was a Japanese rock band formed in 1991 in Japan by bassist Yoshihito Onda and vocalist Yuki, with drummer Kohta Igarashi and guitarist Taiji Fujimoto completing the lineup in 1992.
The band is known for their innovative punk, rock, and pop meldings of noisy but melodic music in the 1990s.
In 1992, Judy and Mary released an album and accompanying video, Be Ambitious, on the independent Chainsaw Records label.
The band was soon signed by Epic/Sony Records and released their first major label single, "Power of Love", in 1993.
Their song "Sobakasu" was used as the first opening theme for the anime television series Rurouni Kenshin, and sold over a million copies.
