[Official] Perfume [J-pop/Techno] ~New Album~ GAME

Perfume

History
In 2001, Nocchi (Ayano Ōmoto), Kashiyuka (Yuka Kashino), and A~chan (Ayaka Nishiwaki), friends from Hiroshima, aged 11–12, joined together to form Perfume.

In 2002, they released two limited edition singles called "Omajinai Perori" and "Kareshi Boshūchū", sold only in Hiroshima.

In 2003, Perfume moved to Tokyo and became produced by FUURI-CL. By 2004, they had released three singles, "Sweet Donuts", "Monochrome Effect", and "Vitamin Drop" under the Indies label Bee-Hive. They also performed three live shows within that time. Fans acquired appreciation for them because of their energetic performances.

On September 21, 2005, Yasutaka Nakata used their cute pop/techno style for their major debut. In 2006 Perfume released two singles, "Computer City" and "Electro World". It wasn't until 2007, Perfume was chosen to promote their new single "Polyrhythm" in a recycling campaign commercial. After that, Perfume was a huge success. The day of its release, "Polyrhythm" hit number #4 on the Oricon charts and #7 for the weekly ranking, making this the first time Perfume has reached the top 10. It turned Perfume into a major hit group in Japan selling over 60,000 copies of their single Polyrhythm alone. After that, they appeared on many shows and radio programs such as Hey! Hey! Hey! Music Champ, Music Station (which exposed them overseas through its airings on ANIMAX), and Liquidroom. On December 31, 2007, Perfume performed in a concert titled "Countdown 2008". This is by far the biggest performance in the history of the group. In Feb. 2008, Perfume released their new single "Baby Cruising Love / Macaroni". It broke the previous records by achieving #3 on the daily and weekly charts. Complete best has hit the charts since it's release due to Perfume's growing popularity. Perfume's newest album Game has achieved #1 on April 16, 2008 on the daily Oricon charts.


On April 9, 2008 a video for another new song from the Game, Secret Secret premiered on MTV Japan. Another song in the album, Butterfly is used in the 2nd Promotional Video of Mugen no Frontier: Super Robot Wars OG Saga.

When I heard their newest album, I was so disappointed. =( I didn't like any of their new songs. They all gave me a headache with all the nonsensical repetitiveness. Okay, all their songs are weird, but they were really great. (At least Epik High made a good album release this year to counter GAME for me.)

I'm in love with the song and video for Secret Secret.
Their new stuff just shows they've grown up loads. :3
Like Vitamin Drop to Secret Secret. xD

But it's fine, I still like their music

Perfume is pretty good! My fave song is GAME ^__^ I also think it's cool how their style has progressed lately~

[d a m e y o]

Perfume. heart

Heard them back in late '06 with their "Electro World" and became a fan instantly. Bought their ~Complete Best~ album, GAME, and love the world single.

Getting soon hopefully the GAME DVD!

I also love most of the other artists produced by the same producer (Nakata Yasutaka) as Perfume. (Such as MEG, Ami Suzuki, capsule, COLTEMONKIHA, etc..)

Perfume are one of my top favorite artists. : ) Along side with other Nakata-produced artists and other J-Tek and Shibuya-kei artists.

PERFUME is probably my favourite J-pop group next to KOTOKO <3 I don't like the old PERFUME stuff from when they were like, 12 or something, it sounded just like every other J-pop song with pre-pubescent tweens :p

Cool PERFUME bio, by the way ^_^
