So I think I've seen all the eps - how many do they have, to think it's worth stripping 2/day in the morning - and have a question.
Why Hi-Hi? OK, the group is called Puffy in Japan, Puffy AmiYumi in the US to disambiguate from Sean "Puffy" Combs, but why "hi hi"? It's written on the side of their bus, so I speculate that "Hi Hi" must mean "Puffy" in Japanese, either phonetically or pictorially. Any Japanese- readers out there to clarify?

Well, phonetically at least, it sounds like "Hai," which is Japanese for "Yes" or "Yeah" or what have you.
