get in here perfume bros

For any anons that might have not been able to get a ticket for the NY show, I have three extra tickets that I'll be selling closer to the date (priced to break even or less): a pit ticket, a 2nd level midrow mezzanine ticket, and a VIP box ticket.
So fret not!

>>12383656
Are there any perks with the VIP ticket, or is it just reserved seating?

>>12383449
fuck you just post more pics of nocchi with that longish hair

>>12384215
it's just reserved seating, not sure if there will be actual seats or if the opera box will just be people standing

>>12383419
I want to lick Kashiyuka's armpit

>>12383656
oooh, don't tempt me! i don't exactly know what my chances are of them doing a UK show any time soon...

>>12384979
here u go

>>12385281
aw yeah

Posting best Nocchi.

Perfume a best

>tfw u will never own all versions of Sweet Donuts

>>12388179
>they will never re-release Fan Service Prima Box
>they will never re-release Fan Service Sweet
My only way of getting them now is YahooJapanAuctions and I don't want to spent $200 a pop on them + pay for a courier service.

would fuck em
all of em

also, natural ni koishite best song or what.
the PV is god like. dynamic walking dancing shit and when her foot touches the ground and the beat goes off. majestic.

>>12389322
prima box is usually atound 80 bucks on ebay, sweet is usually like 140-180

>>12383656
I'm curious what kind of fans will show up to this show. I got my tickets when they went on sale, but I didn't think they would be sold out already.

>>12389376
Yeah but I'm autistic as fuck and I want it in mint condition. No way in hell am I paying $150 for a Limited GAME that's been opened.

Anymore of these?

meh, if you are buying used albums from japan, they usually are in pristine condition unless otherwise noted
ive been buying used albums off ebay and mandarake with good fortune

>>12393235
I've purchased used albums off of Amazon Japan with no issues

tfw when my sister in law went to school with them and keeps in touch.

How many of you guys are in PTA?

>>12394923
I'm in the World PTA..wish they gave out fanclub cards though...

>>12394923
World PTA here.
Is there another place where the girls post updates or post random things? Considering Kashiyuka used to post in the PTA blog daily, it's been pretty slow lately, especially since their on tour.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky7f4eNdJ3E
>Perfume + Downtown
Someone please sub this

>>12396036
>>12396793
Yeah it's my 2nd year in World PTA. Kashiyuka's updates this year have been ridiculously slow and when she posts an update it was usually just of her cat for the past 4 months. bitch im not paying for membership to see your cat

>>12394923
Who reads the messages under the Message section of the PTA website?

>>12397931
I dunno but I doubt the members ever get a whiff of fanmail aside from heavily screened international fanclubs sending birthday cards.

Perfume seem like one of the more secluded groups. I try to avoid calling them an idol group for that reason because they dont really do fansigns/handshake events like an AKB type group would.

>>12383419
wow this has been up for 3 days?
i have been missing out on good perfume debating.

why are all three so perfect, if I could shake hands with one I'm sure this feel would go away

>>12386830
i can look at this for hours.
nocchi does it so much better then the rest, kashi isnt even trying

I spend at least 1 hour a day trying to break the enigma which is what goes on in nocchis mind.

I need to know

>>12398257
Their appeal is that they're hot but in an accessible way, imo. They just seem like regular girls who had their dreams come true.
>>12398266
FnG has my favorite Nocchi hairstyle. Definitely her peak of sex-appeal.

>>12398556
Am I the only person who can't sexualize a single member of Perfume? It's weird I've never been able to think of them in such a way.

>>12399039
I don't really think there's anything wrong sexualizing them. They're probably one of the most tasteful and pure mainstream pop groups but they're still hot. I can guarantee you they'll fucking NEVER do anything like a swimsuit shoot for a magazine like most idols would- then again it's hard to call them idols.

>>12399303
Yuka already did gavure!

>>12399303
Just BTW Nocchi is with some guy who's 10 years older than her.

http://www.unique-harmony.info/top/archives/1605

>>12400266
I want her to do it again.

>>12400266
>>12400312
Has A-chan done something unorthodox?
All I can think of is that she is the member who is confessed to the most out of the group

>>12401151
she done this
cant find the video of it yet

>>12401151
>>12400266
They've all done gravure. A-chan in the middle

>>12401536
can barely make them out.
i give you a chan could possibly be the person in the middle and yuki could possibly the one on the right, but the girl on the left looks nothing like nocchi

>>12401536
Well this was when they were definitely an idol group where they did the gravure in order to survive as idols.
Nowadays all they do is fashion shoots for popular magazines, the odds of them doing it again are slim to none, though I wouldn't mind them doing it again as long as they're comfortable with it.

>>12402124
It's not all 3 of them in that pic. Center is A-chan and the other girls are unknown.

I've got pretty much all of their stuff from that era.

>>12403346
So cute, so goofy. They seem so much more attractive to me the older they get.

I'd happily eat christmas cake at easter. Anyone else want a slice?.

>>12403570
>>12403572
>mfw thinking about kashiyuka doing gravure at her present age
I'd legit pay good money for that.

>>12403650
Why does Japan fucking hate high resolution pics? PTA & Perfume Locks! pics are at most 300x400

It's been about 3 months since I've started listening to Perfume (I've known Kyary since last year though), and goddamn I can't stop listening.

It's been a week and I'm stuck on repeat on FAKE IT (grossly underrated GOD-TIER song, among their top 5 imo).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZKMaFR2mtU

Post pics of Nocchi's old hairstyle, I miss it :c

>>12403346
a chan far right nocchi next to her yuki far left
yep thats them for sure

>>12403908
fake it is damn good and underrated for sure, but you cant talk shit about under rated when someone of their best songs never get talked about at all let alone a pv

>>12404081
their best song is electro world
and then secret secret

>>12403908
I always liked Nee more than Fake It. My top 3 underrated songs that have only been performed once or never are The Best Thing/23:30 and Foundation. AFAIK Foundation was only done during GAME tour and TBT was only done during the 2010 PTA tour.

>>12404856
where to find pta 2010?
i really enjoy computer city and the contrast to the great japanese allegory. nakata always sneaks stuff into his music.

>>12405054
it's on jpopsuki.

Guys, I think I'm falling in love with Nocchi.

>>12405148
>tfw no nocchi gf

>>12404856
The Best Thing and 23:30 really are underused for such good songs

From what I understand the A-chan has a solo song. Anyone have a link?

Also, Do Kashiyuka and Nocchi have a solo too?

>>12405398
doubt kashiyuka has a solo song, she cant sing very well. what makes her voice good is how high and cute it is, it wouldn't work for a full song

>>12405398
>>12405444
Yeah Kashi/Nocchi have no solo songs. Kashi's expressed before that she has no confidence in her ability as a singer and she prefers to dance. Nocchi having a solo would be nice though.

>>12405444
>>12405457
Do you know where I can find A-chan's?
I really want to hear it. I've been looking for it but haven't found anything of the sort

They're quite decent singers though I have to say (without vocoders of course). A-chan really does have the best voice among the three but I'm head over heels for Nocchi.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaWSbSVIODU

>>12406751
God damn it A-chan, why are you so perfect?
This is probably one of the most unhealthy crushes I've had in my life.

>>12406751
>>12407196
>They will never ever sing live again aside from Jenny wa Gokigen Naname

>>12407960
they tend to sing any song that doesnt have a dance routine. so pretty much any of their indie songs. I much prefer when they sing seeing as they get so into and and jump around and its 10x more cute than any dance routine. even cuter than communication

http://strawpoll.me/2290652
lets continue this. A~chan deserves more love than this

>>12407971
>Nocchi #1
Seems to be the general consensus from my japanese friends that she's the most popular over there.

>>12407977
That sounds about right. No chi was my favorite member until I started to follow perfume religiously and began to know their personalities. Now A-chan is my favorite.

>>12408097
exactly the same for me.

Yuka is the best because she has no confidence in herself, allowing me to fill that void with the power of my heart (and multiple imbued shrines)!

>>12408121
its common in japan to be self deprecating, its what makes them so good. I'm sure nocchi lacks confidence too possibly A~chan to a degree. can be awesome being the least liked.

dont worry A~chan, you are best girl to me.

>>12408425

>>12389371

>>12389322

what is the best episode of happy? and why is it episode 12?

Why is A-chan such a best girl?

>>12410960
people will never relies until its too late.

has anyone been to the hammerstein ballroom before?
unsure which section is the best: pit, mezzanine, opera box

>>12408121
>that time when she cried after Tokyo Dome on their radio show because she didn't think she was good enough for it and had failed the fans
>>12410931
Whatever the episode is where they play the card game and Kashi gets her feet massaged.
>mfw

>>12410960
There's something about her I can't quite put my finger on, but either way it mesmerizes me.

>>12412195
>the episode is where they play the card game and Kashi gets her feet massaged.

>>12412195
>>12412911
I was pleasantly surprised when my Chandelier House box set had some episodes of Happy with it, and it had that episode.

>>12413010
Any idea if Chandelier House will ever have subs?

PerfumeFansubs said they were working on it but havent updated their channel in 6 months or so.

>>12413408
been waiting for this shit too. seems like i will learn Japanese before I get a sub at this point.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyvdkKhfzYI
Supposedly 3:23 is A-chan's solo "song."
If so, It's not what I was expecting, and am not very happy about it.

>>12413984
well, it was made into a full song.. sorta
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcAebJKS0nI

>>12414682
Still a little underwhelmed, since I was expecting her normal singing voice.
At least, the song suits her quirkiness

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7Mlw3J_F9E
I want to see them sing more often.

What's the difference between the regular Cling Cling single pack and the box one?
Which should I buy?

>>12420588
the box has a-chan singing with her sister! and she performs with another idol group and her sister takes her place in perfume. all on the dvd!

>>12420881
Oh well that's pretty neat. Guess I'll go with that

>>12420588
Box also has a nice photobook. I still need to frame my Sweet Refrain & Cling Cling poster.

>>12420881
I forgot A-chan had a sister that was also in the entertainment business. I read somewhere she's in an idol group, how is she doing? Any pictures of her?

>>12423262
Really can't say how she is recently but the group 9nine is popular enough to still be alive today

Is anyone else going to the london perfume concert?

>>12423332

>>12401536

>>12403346
nocchi is cute as fuck

also pst more nocchi long hair pls

>>12423547
I enjoy Perfume and 9Nine so this kind of thing makes me extremely happy.

Didn't 9Nine and Perfume perform together recently? I think I saw Satake Ukki tweet something about 8Eight or something (The 3 ladies of Perfume plus the 5 in their group)

>>12424327
It was earlier this year I believe. They did songs with some metal groups I think.

>>12424833
I remember that. It was one of those music festivals, right?

>>12423764
>a-chan taking that small step to the left at the end

i don't know why i laughed at that lol

>>12423845
>long hair

when will you realize she looked her best when her hair was shortest? its simply fact

>>12427487
Amen. Short hair
nachos is best nachos.

reminder that nocchi is sick of being an idol

>>12428206
Kashiyuka is the only one excited there. A-chan is laughing at Kashiyuka's reaction, and Nocchi is just there.
Can Perfume even be considered an idol group anymore?

>>12428214
They haven't really been an idol group since they got famous off of the Polyrhythm-Game-Love The World era's success

>>12428214
I think its just because they're friends. A-Chan/Nocchi don't hang out with Kyary afaik.

Also I wouldn't really consider them an idol group after they got famous in 2007/2008 with the Polyrhythm/GAME/Love the World era.

am I the only person who thinks Kyary stole Perfume's thunder as far as international fame potential goes?

How the fuck is it that hack gets two world tours (with several stops in North America and Europe) while only very recently Perfume finally did a show in Murrica.

>>12428562
Nakata's been pushing her hard since her debut. Perfume just don't have that whacky Harajuku meme shit that draws in international interest and I'm honestly glad that they aren't going for it. When that asshole Psy did the talk show circuit in America they treated him like a sideshow attraction when he was trying to be taken seriously instead of the "whacky gangnam meme man" everybody saw him as.

Their old label (Tokuma Japan I think it was?) was also holding them back for years and kept them totally in the dark when it came to their international fandom. It wasn't until by chance when they went to the Cars 2 premiere that they saw all of their american fans.

I also think Japan's also pretty weary of taking a serious artist and trying to make them carve out a slice of the American market after Ayumi Hamasaki tried to break into the market and bombed years ago.

>>12428206
>kashiyuka laughing her ass off kissin gass
>achan doing the same just to a lesser degree
>nocchi embarrassed

nocchi should just leave the group and go solo

>>12428562
>>12428636
strobbing lights takes you only just far

>>12428562
Perfume is a solid group with talent, but they're plain and boring. There's nothing special about how they act or look or sing.

Kyary is a mediocre talent at best, but she stands out and appeals to a foreign audience an something bizarre and exotic.

>>12428699
>Perfume is a solid group with talent, but they're plain and boring. There's nothing special about how they act or look or sing.
Pretty much, that's why I like them. Average girls who achieved their dreams, they've gotten comfortable national popularity without having to be idol sluts like an AKB48 type group. I think there's nothing wrong with their small ventures out into the international market.

>>12428774
>they didnt have to be sluts like akb
>all 3 of them did gavure
get a load

>>12428784
Yeah but they aren't doing it now are they? They don't even do much fanservice outside of showing their legs off.

>>12428789
>It doesn't happen anymore so let's pretend it never happened

>>12428942
>comparing 12 year olds in swimsuits to AKB members doing JAVs

>>12428699
Honestly, the performers are just the face of the product. Nakata is a commercial jingle music machine and is damn good at what he does.

>>12429437

>>12427487
damn why did nocchi get surgery she blows both of them out of hte water

>>12430157
what? she didn't. i know her.

>>12430157
doesn't know how aging works.
plastic surgery completely changes how you look, look at the korean pop stars, they don't even slightly resemble their old self's

>>12428562
Um, what? Perfume hasn't done a show in the US yet
>n00b

>>12430199
tell her i said hi
>>12430270
your mom aged on my dick

>>12430157
She got no surgery. None of them have unless you count a-chan/kashi getting braces, it's just natural aging and better hair stylists/makeup.

How do you guys feel about Kashiyuka's taste in manga?

Groups like Perfume outside of Nakata's productions?

That's how Japs look dude. They may be pale but they'll always be yellow.

Magazines photoshop/airbrush, it's the norm.

confession time

like 99% of the time, i have no idea who's singing what part of any of their songs unless i look up the MV/live performance

>>12445871
>>12445845
>>12445737
>>12445622
i'm tellin' ya, the answer lies in the fringe. once she got rid of the fringe, she became an emotionless robot.

Spring of Life is the shit.

>>12445912
>>12445912
>>12445912
my thoughts exactly

>>12445912
my confession
I think kashiyuka is over rated, sure she is cute as all hell, but nothing really makes her stand out to me.

>>12446031
on the fringe thing in mean. only their triangle era stuff is hard to distinguish and normally is just mistaking A~chan's lines for yuka's seeing as they are both pretty high pitch and it had the most voice editing

>>12445845
>>12445765
>>12445737
>>12445622
its like she zones out

>>12445912
It's not so hard to differentiate their voices after a while.
Kashiyuka's voice is the easiest to pick out, since it's kinda weak and really cutesy. Nocchi's and A-chan's voice are really similar, when heard together, but alone Nocchi's voice is more raspy than the other three. A-chan is the hardest to pick out since she doesn't use her real voice, but tries to make it sound not as deep as it originally is, which in turn makes it sound generic. Listen to their older songs and start picking the voices out, and keep going till the newer songs.

>>12446192
>tfw not fucking weird enough to know the differences in their synthd voices

>>12446192
pretty much this, A~chan's voice ranges a lot and is hard to identify

>>12446192
yea i've been pretty much able to tell whenever kashi sings nowadays, but telling between nocchi and a-chan is still a bit of a challenge for me - i'm not really picking up on the "raspiness" in nocchi's voice. then again i've pretty much only been listening to level3 and JPN exclusively for the past while so that probably ain't helping. i'll give the older tracks a whirl and see if i can pick em out easier

>>12446190
>her smile and optimism - gone

>>12446192
>>12446290
weird, when listening to magic of love its hard to tell where yuka's lines end and A~chans begin but nocchi's are the most distinguishable for me.

its easier in reverse for example fushizen na girl when it swaps from a~chan to yuka i can tell the pitch difference.

>>12445912
Listen to their old shit back when it wasn't overly processed if you want a good idea of what their basic vocals sound like. I don't have any trouble at all with discerning who's who in songs.

>>12446038
>Kashiyuka
>overrated
Don't talk shit about my waifu. Every jap friend of mine who likes Perfume loves Nocchi the most and thinks A-Chan/Kashi are hicks. She's forever 2nd with A-Chan being the least popular.

>>12446364
only a select few can have best taste

take a stroll is the most underrated song

>>12446502

>>12446364
Kashi a best perfume but A~chan is seriously growing on me

>>12446573
the more you follow perfume the more you relies A~chan is the best. nocchi used to be my favorite. watch a few more concerts, interviews or maybe some Happy and It will happen.

>>12446573
the more you follow perfume the more you realizes A~chan is the best. nocchi used to be my favorite. watch a few more concerts, interviews or maybe some Happy and It will happen.

>>12446609
yeah for sure, she really does have her charms

>>12446609
That's the thing about A-chan, she may be the least popular but she has the most dedicated fanbase of the three, as in if A-chan is your favorite the odds of her being your waifu are considerably high.

You clearly do not have any "nip" friends because they would be quick to point out that a waifu cannot be 3d
What a tard

who do you think currently has the best job security, nakata or their choreographer?

>>12448769
I don't know. does nakata own them? or is he just the person the makes the songs. if he just makes the songs then possibly the choreographer, i heard a~chan wants to get into song writing but nakata wont let her. you never know I doubt eather will go.

>>12448769
Nakata just makes their songs. The girls once commented on how little the see of Nakata, since they only see him for recording.
As for their choreographer Mikiko, Perfume has an extremely deep bond with her, they spend most of their time with her practicing for live shows and such. To go even further, Mikiko directs their live shows and is in charge of most of what happens during the live shows.
See http://telly.com/ZNNP8M

>>12449056
Mikiko is great
It's thanks to her that we know Perfume is in good hands

>>12457037
he wanted her to sing in a more monotone voice so that it would be easier to manipulate but she kept adding her own style to it
you know how she is

GAME is fantastic

>>12457107
GAME > Triangle > Level 3 > JPN. Fit complete best in between GAME and Triangle if you wanna include that.

>>12458033
no way is level3 better than JPN
that's laughable
ha!

>>12457068
Still doesn't warrant him being so harsh. He's doing the opposite of constructive criticism.
A-chan cries a lot, but only when she's overcome with happiness. Something's not right if she's crying for any other reason.

>>12458139
At least it was more consistent, for the most part.

>>12460249

>>12458139
why do people hate level 3? I like level 3 even more than triangle.

>>12458033
its hard for me to rate them tbh, they changed style so much between game, triangle/jpn and level 3. the only thing i can really say is i prefer triangle to jpn, but it fluctuates between the 3 eras for me.

but here is the real list

Computer city>Electro world>Linear motor girl

>>12458139
Album mixes were better and the album songs were better. You think Toki No Hari or Have a Stroll is better than 1mm or Clockwork?

>>12461966
toki no hari ain't a great song but are you talking shit about have a stroll? song is under rated as fuck

>>12462164
when my day sux. I like to put that song on and take a stroll.

>>12462495
because...

so who aged the best and what age did they look best at? probably should have added them at 19 as well seeing as their style changed dramatically in that year

>>12464046
As they have gotten older, their facial features have become stronger
Kashi used to have a very smooth face with marks/creases that weren't very noticeable (between nose and cheeks, and around mouth and chin) when she wasn't using strong facial expressions, now they are noticeable regardless
Nocchi looks the same, although she does look more tired now
A-chan's facial features became sharper like the rest, and her face has become cuter due to this, it's also thinned out the lower half of it

Kashi is hard to notice unless you look at non professional photos since they always touch those up

They all look great though and I don't really see these points as positive or negative ones

>>12464046
>nocchi best at 15
>looks old and tired at 25
>a-chan looks best at 20
>looks like some random person the street at 25
>kashi has a huge fucking nose throughout

hi guys

>>12464046
They look weird in their age 15 pictures
I'd use pic related

>>12464046
I'd say Nocchi aged the best.
>>12465096
There is literally nothing wrong with Kashi's nose. Her worst feature would be her acne. I mean she's my waifu and everything but goddamn, I can see why some people call her ugly.

>>12464046
>>12465154
Braces did miracles for the girls.
Thank god perfume didn't grow up in the 80's where crooked teeth were attractive

>>12465347
>Her worst feature
No, Kashi has no bad features, she just has features
Her existance though, is beautiful

>>12465732
You can point out your waifu's consistently bad skin. It's not illegal. Yet.

>>12465347
>acne
what in the fuck holy shit she has a pizza face

the computer guys must get paid loads to airbrush that shit

>>12466415
still luv her doe

http://www.perfume-web.jp/news/individual.php?id=247
so apparently LEVEL 3 is getting a US release in October before the LA/NYC shows...

>>12466663
Wow that's great. Not a lot of Japanese artists release albums in the US, and most of the ones that do sell in the US is because their songs have been in animu. For Perfume, who barely put any effort toward anywhere outside of Japan, to achieve this is pretty neat.

my heart

>>12465347
>>12466067
I think this may explain her shyness. I have to say that the bad skin kind of makes her more endearing to me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CECvMWcHO2M
nocchi honestly look the best with a full fringe.
why did they have to get rid of it?

>>12467397
Well all three had the full fringe then and one of them had to go fringe less
Nocchi was the only one that could pull it off

i love perfume
and unlike the majority of /jp/
i have a job that pays over 10k
see you bitches in new york

Are they close friends? Are their menstrual cycles synchronised?

>>12469099
>Are they close friends?
Yes, the closest you'll see in the business
>Are their menstrual cycles synchronised?
Only A-chan and Kashiyuka's, Nocchi's is out of whack

When does the full Display MV come out?

>>12469606
Doesn't exist. They only made that short version so Panasonic could play it on their 4K TVs

>>12469606
>>12469987
>no MV for Hurly Burly
>no MV for point
>no MV for Handy Man
>no MV for Daijoubanai
>never gonna get a full Display
>never gonna get an Ijiwaru Na Hello MV

girl plz get ur shit n2gther now, kashi almost 26 an she accomplish more than u

>>12403570

>>12472081
This man.
This fucking man.
I blame him for Perfume's lack of contact with the west and for ruining Perfume's view of their western fans.
Fucking detest him.

>>12472250
What are you talking about? They were all so happy when they met at the movie premier

>>12472254
No shit they were going to smile and wave. They probably don't know of the sick shit he did, and even if they did they had to put up with it for publicities sake

>>12472423

^This. I wonder if he'll be there in LA....I hope not...

>>12472423
Do I even want to know?

does anyone have a link to the vid where he was showing off the picture he got with them at the cars premiere? he also gave them his dirty gaijin head sash. fittingly, he gave it to a-chan. and she smelled it.

>>12472531

Only saw one vid of his which was the "happy birthday kashi" vid and that was enough for me.

>>12472591
>he also gave them his dirty gaijin head sash. fittingly, he gave it to a-chan. and she smelled it.
Source?
sure I'd be emotionally shattered but I gotta know
>>12472531
Sometimes ignorance truly is bliss

>>12472250
>>12472254
>>12472423
>he gave A-Chan his headband
>she probably threw it away
A-Chan ended up mentioning him in an interview or two as a "Nice old man who gave her his headband that said "Perfume" on it"

She's a sweetie even though Frank has probably ruined their view of American fans.

Also it's unclear how he actually got into the premiere to meet them since it was for press only basically and he hasn't divulged on how he did it..
>>12472872
He said he'd given her his headband and she later mentioned it in an interview. I'll look for it, sec.

http://www.asianjunkie.com/2012/05/perfume-set-to-be-next-asian-group-to-ruin-their-careers-in-america/

"As we were walking the red carpet, some American fans were screaming 'Perfume! Perfume!' " recalls A-chan, with her eyes wide; she speaks the most in interviews and while there's no officially acknowledged leader, she's clearly the driving force. "I was like, 'Why do you even know who we are?!' One man — a large, older guy — gave me his bandana, which he said he'd worn constantly for eight years, and a DVD he'd made about his undying love for us. We'd never released anything outside of Japan and we were signed to a domestic label, so those fans could only have known us through the Internet."
>"One man — a large, older guy — gave me his bandana, which he said he'd worn constantly for eight years, and a DVD he'd made about his undying love for us."

>>12472915
In his video, he said he had a friend that hooked him up with a press pass

>>12472915
>that fear in nocchi's eyes

>>12472915
are you guys implying this is the reason perfume neglects the west?
I doubt this is the reason, they got a great reception on their Asian tour and they still don't really do much outside japan.

>>12473036
No I don't think they neglected us because of that. It was mainly because of their old label, Tokuma, being insular and not wanting to take any risks with breaking or busting in the western markets. Kpop artists/girl-groups like Wonder Girls were pushed in the west hard a few years ago and most of them didn't bring in the expected revenue.

There wasn't anything wrong with Tokuma's strategy since their national market is large enough already unlike Korea's that desperately tries and pushes artists into Japan. I'm just glad they can do some small venue shows instead of being shoehorned into the industry trying to capitalize on Kyary's success with her whacky meme image.

>>12389602
A bunch of pre-teen Asian girls and one or two creepy old dudes

>>12397366
What do you get for being in PTA?

>>12473364
Fucking nothing other than bragging rights. The Jap PTA members get all sorts of goodies including the PTA dvds for free.

International fanclub membership is cheaper but the blog isn't worth $15 a year when Kashi posts a 300x400 selca once every 3 months and tiny resolution vblogs from A-Chan/The staff showcasing stuff like magazine shoots.

Perfume really just doesn't seem to care about high quality pics/vids. None of the members have instas or twitters either.

>>12473409
>Perfume really just doesn't seem to care about high quality pics/vids.
Or most of Japan for that matter

PTA has been extremely slow lately, we had to wait a week for unimportant tour news and a picture of Nocchi's back. Hell it's been enough time for A-chan to make another vlog an yet nothing.

>>12472931
from their faces A~chan know's how much a creep he is
nocchi was told the extent of his craziness a few seconds before the picture and kashiyuka doesn't know yet.
i love how uncomfortable A~chan looks

>>12474226
I love how you can legitimately tell that A-chan is faking her smile, something she rarely does

>>12474332
poor girl must have been scared for her life

>>12473978
The only thing I've gotten out of PTA was winning the ticket lottery for their LA venue. Fuck general admission, I'm a manlet I deserve better.
>>12474226
>>12474332
>>12474386
What's even funnier is his name Perfume444 is read PerfumeShiShiShi in Japanese, Shi also meaning "death" and that probably scared the shit out of A-Chan when he asked her to sign his dream fighter poster he brought.

>>12472915
A-Chan: Oh! How strange! (fake smile, this strange, only a little bit to go)
Nocchi: Fuck this (terrible fake smile, look at how stiff her face is)
Kashi: This is cute and fun! (loving it)

>>12474861
only if you are 80 year's old, I'm pretty sure that 4 is more commonly yon. but then again I'm just a baka gajin

>>12474968
yes, you are just an idiot outsider
japanese enjoy word play

>>12474968
No, yon is numerical while shi is categorical.
Some Japanese hospitals don't have a 4th floor because 4 is like 13 for us gaijins, bad luck and all

>>12476266
>>12476268

What's your favorite MV?

Mine's Laser Beam, with honorable mentions toward Linear Motor Girl and it's crazy CG

>>12476552
Spending All My Time, Electro World, Spice, Love the World. All of them are good though.

she's perfect

>>12476857
>not posting the best picture of her

>>12476552
Secret Secret and Electro World
Artificial Girl is fun too

>>12476552
my favorite is probably magic of love, they all look great in their outfits and its also is both sexy and cute at times.

but it will constantly fluctuate for me. artificial girl, macaroni, i still love u, VOICE, laser beam. they are all really good.

okay all rivalry aside we can at least agree that A~chan is the sexiest right?

>>12477609
m80 you have got to be kidding me

>>12477904
confidence and liveliness is attractive, clinical depression and pessimism not as much.

>>12477609
>>12478051
Kashi/Nocchi do sexy way better. A-chan seems like a nice girl to have kids with.

plz complete the set with kashino's picture

>>12478512
Her legs can't be that thick

>>12478820
I've got something thick for her legs if you know what I mean.

>>12478903
>>12478955
>she will never sit on your face
jdimsa

Someone take that old horse in the middle out back and put her out of her misery.

>>12480022
no one is going to take the bait kid.

>>12480032
The stress of being the most passionate member is taking its toll on her.

>>12480039
still a lot of life in these bones. scroll up and see the toll it has taken on nocchi

>>12480022
>>12480039
What are you talking about?
She looks fine to me.

Sexy coming through~

>>12480210
I want to be best friends with all of them

>>12480247
That pic gave me a foot/shoe fetish years ago and I still don't know why.

>>12480274
I'm still pissed they don't do enough foot fan service. nocchi's feet are 10/10

>>12480247
this.
when will people stop arguing over who's the hottest when deep down, we know in our hearts that all girls are best girl

>>12480312
>mfw I have shit talked nocchi all this thread but love the fuck out of her, she makes me laugh and honest depending on my mood my favorite can fluctuate between all three of them.

>>12480285
amen. I wanna see some belly too.

>>12478903
>>12479191
>>12478512

when will we get to see her butt, I KNOW she is hiding something big. her dresses always show it off just enough to tease but not enough to satisfy.

>>12480321
This.

>>12480321
>>12480285
I want to see perfume on the beach with 2 piece swim suits.

seriously why have they not done this yet?

>>12480335
I guess they dont need to do it anymore now that they're famous.

kpop > perfume

>>12480492
I didn't know people could be retarded enough to think this.

>>12480492
>>12480511
>what is personal opinion

>>12480512
retards can have opinions too.
when you think of it the opinion cop out becomes more transparent

>>12480512
yes, you can have a personal opinion, but what is the point of saying "my X is better than your Y" on a Y thread, other than to shitpost?

speaking of which, no, any and all kpop bands are objectively inferior to perfume. thank you!

I listen to both Korean and Japanese artists. :)

mfw finding obscure perfume subs

What do perfumebros thing about the Cling Cling EP? Why does Cling Cling get so much attention when Hold Your Hand, Display and Ijiwaruna Hello are all much better tracks?

>>12480788
Because it's the title track, I suppose. B sides are almost always better, or at least hidden gems, but they never get any recognition.
I'm talking music in general, not specificly Perfume.

>>12480788
it gets more attention because it is the A-side. can you name one A-side that is less popular?

my favorite is display a lot of people talk shit about it because it takes a while to get to the vocals but the beat is great so it doesn't matter too me. ijiwaruna hello reminds me of how I felt about koi wa zenkei shisei. its extremely catchy and I can argue objectively better than its A-side but It never pops into my head and forces me to play it at that moment.

its one of those songs you put into a play list and chill. while cling cling and sweet refrain are catchy and when I remember them they instantly stop what I'm doing to listen to them and I find it hard to multi task when I listen to them.

then again sweet refrain is probably my most listened to song next to artificial girl and magic of love. wouldn't call it one of my favorites though.

I still don't know how I feel about hold your hand, it isn't bad and it stands out but I still don't listen to it at all.

>>12480797
I was pretty upset when perfume said they didn't like sweet refrain

>>12480799
What didn't they like about it?
Was it the weirdly placed dubstep?

>>12480811
"N: However, I still don’t get the meaning of the lyric very well.

K: Me neither! It’s a bit weird. It seems as if he couldn’t get what he wanted to say together.

A: He’s making too many songs lately, so he didn’t know what he was doing, I guess.

Interviewer: Stop saying such a thing with small voice, please?

N: LOL! At first, I thought it was a song about romance. Like you still miss your ex, but at the same time, you keep on wishing someone new to come along, or something like that. But I still don’t get it."

>>12480825
Damn, they sure told him.
