Perfume launch new English site & get their drink on

Perfume launch new English site & get their drink on photo

I love Perfume! Japan's hit technopop outfit are having gigantic year, finally gaining some much deserved exposure in the US. Their classic hit Polyrhythm was just featured in the sound track for Cars 2 film. To celebrate their late introduction to the West, they have finally launched an English site!

The Perfume ladies may not be the newest gals on the block, but I think they still have a really fresh sound. After the break we've pulled together a video of their newest Kirin commercial, a commercial for their newest single Laserbeam, and of course the classic Polyrhythm music video. Let's wish Perfume the best in the Western market, I know they deserve it.

Great! Next up: a place to buy their albums in the US without paying shipping from Japan, please. Or does such a place already exist? Torrenting music I love so much is killing me.

@fallen

I believe if you spend enough at Yesasia.com (US$39?) they'll ship for free...I'm certainly not one to judge anyone who downloads music (Japanese CD prices are pretty scary) but if it really does kill you to do it...

@CruelAngel: Oh my GOD! You've made my week!!!! Thank you so much for your reply. I'd looked through all the music-distribution channels I know of, but I compleeeeetely forgot that Yesasia carries CDs. A million cyberhandshakes to you, kind person.

As manly as I am, I am a full fledged fan of Perfume. Their music makes me feel like I am flying through the universe, and that is a great feeling. Best of luck to them in this new venture!

I didn't really like Polyrhythm but damn those girls are f-i-n-e.

@fallen Not so sure about Yesasia.com, but my fav site to get jpop is definitely cdjapan.co.uk, they basically have everything, even the more obscure stuff yesasia doesnt carry. Happy shopping.

She's Winner! Hatsune Miku's Chrome ad wins at Cannes

Yes, that Cannes. The one in France. Well, the "Direct Lions" part of it anyway, the one that's concentrated on advertising rather than movies (cue snarky comment about all movies being ads anyway). Hatsune Miku, everyone's ...

KFC gets weirder when Kyary Pamyu Pamyu advertises for it

Okay, so nothing Kyary Pamyu Pamyu does is quite as weird as her video for "PONPONPON," but she's still pretty far out there. Of course, no matter how odd you are, if you're an idol, you pretty much have to appear in ads. Th...

Candy ad comes under fire for controversial AKB48 kiss

A recent ad for Pucchu candy featuring AKB48 has caught the eye of the Broadcasting Ethics and Program Improvement Organization, a Japanese broadcasting standards group. They claim the ad, which depicts members of AKB48 passi...

Jean Reno continues to play Doraemon in awesome CM's

Remember a while back when we posted about French actor Jean Reno starring in a series of Japanese commercials based on Doraemon? Yeah, there's more. The Toyota commercials take the Doraemon characters and age them by about t...

I don't really understand the PS Vita's first commercial

Now, you could watch the commercial below and argue that there's not all that much to understand besides the platform's release date (December 17th in Japan), and the text that says "The Future of Video Games is Changing". Bu...

Here's the new Fate/Zero commercial to go loony over

Yes, and there is a good reason to go loony, because we're just weeks out from its Fall 2011 debut! So feel free to get hype, Type-Lunatics! The next several commercials' worth of your Youtube time will be spent watching watc...

Tommy Lee Jones is making new BOSS commercials

It never fails. Take someone to Japan for the first time and it seems like the first thing they do is jump back in surprise at advertisements for Suntory's BOSS coffee. I'm so used to seeing it that the ads never look out of...

An ode to itchy crotches, sung by Japanese salarymen

This ad, found after the break, looks like a normal ad for a product, with lots of salarymen gloriously singing about some sort of product. But that's only because you likely don't understand Japanese. If you did, you'd reali...

That's "Miss Hatsune" to you, you amateur.
