NEW POLL OF THE WEEK
Woah, It’s been 50 weeks since I started to regularly make my Weekly Polls! Time really flies, and for this poll I want to ask you something different from usual.
We know Perfume have been around for more than ten years, and each of these years have been an evolution full of new surprises that formed their career that today still goes more than well, with huge successes both in Japan and around the world, where their fanbase is growing more and more. But due to releases, singles, or events, some of you may have a favorite era, usually recognizable by the release of an album.
So this week’s question is: What’s your favorite Perfume era?

Hi everybody guys, and welcome to the 46th Perfume Disco Poll of the Week!
Are you ready for another week of Perfume news? Then let’s begin!

Last Week’s Results
As always before starting let’s take a look at the results of last week’s poll. The question was: “What’s your favorite outfit of the Universal era?”
Let’s check out the results!
________________________________________________
NEW POLL OF THE WEEK
This week’s poll is about Perfume’s sound. In this era, they pretty much followed a very similar style to their JPN album, with some exception here and there (we’ll see how it goes with Magic of Love), but it’s kind of clear now what direction the next album might take. It can be considered good, but a bit bad too, cause it means there hasn’t been a real change or anything new.
So, what I want to know from you this week is: Do you think Perfume need a new sound direction?
Maybe something new that necessarily doesn’t have to “betray” their original sound, of course.
How will “Magic of Love” sound like?
The poll is already open on the right sidebar as always, feel free to vote and to leave your opinion down in the comments!

Hi everybody, and welcome to another “A look back at…” article. Today is a special day… cause It’s the first Spring of Life anniversary!
It’s been already an year since Perfume made the big step and left their historical label Tokuma Japan Communications, to shift to the more open and global Universal Music Japan. Many things happened and since that huge change, and a new chapter of the girls’ career started. Let’s analyze the beginning of the new Perfume era!
Spring of Life is the first single under the Universal Music Japan label and sub-label Perfume Records, that officially began a new chapter of our girls’ career after six years under Tokuma Japan Communications, the major company that welcomed the girls after their indie period and brought them to the top of success and popularity in Japan (and outside). Their intention of going global, for the joy of all the overseas fans, were already announced at the time of the label shift, yet the very first step towards the global audience was still to be decided. Due to this, many fans were wondering if their sound and look could have been changed to appeal a wider audience, and someone didn’t know what to expect.
And so, the first step in this new era was Spring of Life. Their 15th major single was unveiled on February, and once the art direction and the song preview were released, no one had no doubt about this single anymore: It was 100% Perfume, both in the sound and the look, and the intention of the new label was clearly to tranqulize and at the same time please the fans with Perfume’s historical style of pop mixed with techno, filled with a near-futuristic look. And they hit the spot.
The upbeat rythm, the melodies, the excellent bridge composed by the long anticipated dark bass followed by the keyboard solo, and the extremely energetic chorus filled with optimistic lyrics makes this song one of the classics of the post-JPN era and best examples of Perfume’s original concept of music. Same happened for the look, that featured some white outfits that can’t be compared to Perfume’s best ones, but partly saved by the cool integration of led lights that shine following the rythm of the chorus: a nice addition that proves once again how the girls and their management pointed to mark the futuristic/robotic concept.
The B-side, on the other hand, is something different. As first track for the new collaboration with Kanro, Communication is the complete opposite of Spring of Life, with a cute sound and mood that creates a huge contrast with the A-side. If you allow me to express a personal opinion, while a “double-faced” single can sometimes be a good idea and a source of variety, Communication can’t reach this goal due to the fact that it’s not a very strong song. Yes, it’s cute, adorable, and the absence of modified vocals makes it very appealing at first, and also catchy. But coupled with a song like Spring of Life, it drags the whole single a bit down, and maybe a stronger B-side could have brought this single way higher in the “favorite list” of the Perfume fandom. Yet, it’s an enjoyable and not bad at all track, that gives its best in live performances, especially thanks to a complex and difficult choreography, without a doubt one of best of the recent history of the girls. A nice B-side, but it could have been better.
From a promotional point of view, Universal and Amuse really did a great job, creating a lot of hype behind the single and giving a lot of exposure also thanks to the new collaboration with Kanro. Also, it’s worth mentioning the huge Spring of Life box in front of Shibuya 109, that definitely caught the eye of more than one person in Tokyo.
So, from a general point of view, this single doesn’t bring the Perfume sound forward to something new, but prefers to take the old formula back to life: It doesn’t revolutionize anything, but it gives a deeper feeling of the Techno-pop sound that missed in our girls’ discography for a while: An acceptable compromise. And maybe that’s what all the fans wanted for the beginning of this new chapter in the Perfume career.
Spring of Life is a good single, and one of the most appropriated demonstration of the Perfume style, even if it can’t be compared to its famous predecessors of the JPN era and back. The A-side is a strong track and highly enjoyable, bringing out all the best of our girls, while the B-side can’t reach the same level, but still finds a nice place in the B-sides category. A “so-so” single, but overall not bad at all and surely worth buying, not only for its sound, but also for the meaning it has in the history of Perfume.

Last Week’s Results
As always before starting let’s take a look at the results of last week’s poll. The question was: “What are your first impressions about “Magic of Love”?
Let’s check out the results!
Most of the voters have high expectations for the next Perfume single, with 90 and 52 votes from fans that can’t wait to listen to more of Magic of Love, while a minor part composed by only three votes aren’t excited for the next Perfume release. I honestly think it’s great to see all of these positive expectations after a pretty controversial period for the Perfume fandom.
That’s it for this week guys, thanks as always to everyone for casting their votes and express their thoughts in the comments! And now…let’s move to the next Poll!

With 84 votes, the first single of the post-JPN era Spring of Life is the winner of this week’s poll!

Today, through the Perfume Official Website, It’s been announced that Perfume will release their 18th major single called “Magic of Love” in the early summer!
That’s a very unexpected announcement since their last single Mirai no Museum has been released just a month ago, and it’s all good since this means that we’ll have to wait less time than usual.
First Promo pic. Very nice outfits!
Magic of Love has been described as a song that talks about a “life sized girl that is lightly dreaming of the beginning of an ideal love, complete with a sweet and warm melody”. The song will be used for the new Kanro Puré Gummi CM that will air tomorrow March 27th, a detail that together with the statement above and the pretty generic title, easily makes think about a cute and happy song. But trying to imagine how this song will sound like without something to listen to is useless, so let’s just wait for tomorrow to get a 15 seconds preview of the new Perfume single together with the new Kanro CM!
First screens from the upcoming Kanro CM featuring “Magic of Love”
Plus, a mobile phone version (shorter than the normal version) of Magic of Love will be available on Recohoku and Amuse Mobile on April 1.
Are you excited for this unexpected announcement? Leave all your impressions in the comments down below!

Hi everybody guys, and welcome to the 43rd Perfume Disco Poll of the Week!
Are you ready for another week of Perfume news? Then let’s begin!
________________________________________________ Last Week’s Results
As always before starting let’s take a look at the results of last week’s poll. The question was: “Who has the best legs in Perfume?”
Let’s check out the results!
Without a single doubt, the Queen of Perfume legs is… Kashiyuka! With 86 votes and a huge distance from the other members, the cute Yuka-chan is definitely the one that stuns more all the Perfume fans with her incredible and perfectly shaped legs. Well… there’s no doubt that’s like a vision of heaven.
Ehr… uhm… ehm… *hypnosis*
With half the votes (44) Nocchi gets the second spot, with her long and nice legs that make all the Nocchists out there (and not ontly) go crazy, while the sweet A-chan gets the last place with 16 votes. In any case, I don’t know about you guys, but it’s really hard to find a girl with such stunning legs as our girls, so… no matter who’s your favorite, Perfume are definitely the Legs Queens!
That’s it for this week guys, thanks as always to everyone for casting their votes and express their thoughts in the comments! And now…let’s move to the next Poll!

Great news in sight guys! In an interview at CinemaToday.jp, while talking about “Mirai no Museum” and the new Doraemon movie, A-chan said something very important for us overseas fans:
___________________________________________________
A-chan:
The lyrics in the verse (of Mirai no Museum) says: “Let’s go together to our dream, Hey, let’s go to beyond the world spreading out” We held a world tour last year and visited Asia. And we’re planning to go to the States and Europe this year.
(Credits to shellfish1004 @ Perfume City Forums for the translation)
This is a pretty big statement that basically confirms that a new Perfume World Tour 2ndis coming this year in the two occidental continents, ready to finally make the dream of all the overseas fans come true!
This may also mean that a new album to promote in all the world might be in the works…
While waiting for an official announcement, stay tuned on Perfume Disco for any update!
And don’t forget… A-chan’s word is (and has always been) law! \(^o^)/
