It seems to be kinda balanced out really... i mean, alot of people know them because of the cartoon but those same people DO realize they're japanese rock stars. There's no shortage of live action puffy amiyumi on the show and the posters advertising the show were all more of real-life puffy than their characters. On the other hand, there are also the underground rock fans here who listen to the US releases by TMGE and Shonen Knife and know Puffy pretty well cuz it's their scene, so. They aren't by any means a mainstream rock group though; they're not on top 40 radio or anything.
