>>15025440
Cosmic Explorer better than Complete Best?
How big of a faggot can you be?
Holy shit

>>15025461
Half of Complete Best is trash. It only gets a 7/10 because Electro World & Computer City are two of the best songs ever, and PSPS, Computer Driving, and Monochrome are also great. Perfume & wonder2 are okay to listen to every once in a long while, and the rest is garbage.

Let me guess, your first album was either level 3 or JPN

>>15025510

>>15025476
>computer driving better than wonder 2, perfume, Inryoku, foundation and linear motor girl.

what the fuck am I seeing.

I've seen some REALLY bad opinions in this thread but this is by far the worst.

I've seen people say that furikaeru is perfumes worst song.
I've seen people say that koi wa is a bad song
I've seen people say that dream fighter is better than love the world.
I've seen people say that natty ni koi is perfume's very best song.

but m80. your opinion is just fucked.

I think Butterfly trumps everything desu.

flash album mix is actually good. what a surprise

>>15025583
the original is better imo but it's an alright alternative

Sweet Refrain album mix is better
Tokimeki sounds almost the same to me
Star Train is maybe 1% better
I'm unsure which Cling Cling is better

First half of Cosmic Explorer is great, but after STORY everything is so-so.
Except for Cling Cling (album-mix), fuck all y'all, this version is extremely upbeat and fun. Sweet Refrain (album-mix) is fine but it was necessary change to fit within the album.

7/10 like whatever anon said previously.

I think I'm done with Perfume and Nakata. Last Kyary album was bad, last....3 or 4 Capsule albums have been bad and now this boring, EDM filled pile of garbage?

There was a time a few years ago where I worshipped the ground that guy walked on but I think it's finally time to give up. 2007/8 will never come back.

>>15025853
bye bitch

>>15025853
I don't blame you anon. Nakata has been on a negative roll so there's no reason to currently keep up with him. Hell, this year so far has been REALLY bad for music releases so far.
Have you tried any indie idols coming out of Tokyo? There's been some really good stuff coming out. It makes up for the lack of good established music group output.

>>15025880
Indie idols have been pretty decent lately. I'm looking forward to the new Neggico.

What are you listening to lately anon?

>a bunch of japs on 2ch are either too excited to sleep or are going to bed early so they can buy the album asap or something
my nakamas

Incoming autism.

Navigate (4/10) - Not much to it. Not particularly interesting. The presentation as a whole could have been improved by just putting Story here instead and getting rid of this.

Cosmic Explorer (8/10) - Some nice 80s style ballad sounds on this one, similar to what we heard in Tokimeki Lights but less sparsely mixed. Noodling in the middle evocative of Rush-style prog rock. Feels like another intro track so it works well in this position.

Miracle Worker (8/10) - Healthy dose of Western influence detectable in the chorus, but as anon said last thread about CE the adoption is more gracious and up-to-date than something like Sweet Refrain or Wave Runner. Vocals are nice despite the mix being fucked. Bonus points for Nocchi's pronunciation of 'miracle'.

Next Stage with YOU (6/10) - Already delved into this one last thread. This was the track I was most excited about and so I felt pretty let down by the final arrangement. Starts strong but the rest is shaky.

STORY (7/10) - Pretty nice instrumental. Sound effects at the beginning sound a bit amateurish for an actual track but their live utility is obvious. Massive horn synths from White As Snow make a return and while I'm not a fan in general of Nakata's recent 'festival EDM' trend, I don't mind the more well executed aspects popping up here and there. This completely unabashed sound being one of them.

FLASH (5.5/10) - While I was initially pretty optimistic for the album mix after hearing the live clip I ended up being just as bored with this as I was with the single.

Sweet Refrain (4/10) - Didn't care for the single, still don't care for this. Nakata has the mercy to remove or push back a good portion of the terrible wubwubs which were two years too late at the time and by this point sound cartoonishly dated. Unfortunately as a trade-off we get muddier-sounding vocals by virtue of Nakata's 'just stick another layer of sound on it' approach to album mixes and the strange addition of a pissy little electric guitar halfway through.

Cont.

>>15026126
Baby Face (6/10) - The presence of some vocals that one can actually hear properly is reason enough to enjoy this track. Clear inspiration from the recent tropical house trend in Western pop music, a trend that anyone who spends any time at all listening or merely overhearing this sort of music is thoroughly bored of by now. I don't really know how much play time this sort of thing is getting in Japan so perhaps it'll feel fresher to a domestic audience. Nakata does a decent enough job at least of adapting this sound to a track that doesn't end up feeling too out of place on a Perfume album.

TOKIMEKI LIGHTS (6.5/10) - Thought the single was decent and I feel like this mix is a minor improvement. The vocals, yet again, are pushed back in the mix but I don't really feel like that's too much of a detriment this time around. The instrumental is beefed up and glued together a little bit but the change isn't drastic.

STAR TRAIN (4/10) - Album mix does little to assist a boring single. Marginally more listenable but still weak.

Relax In The City (4/10) - Of course this was an A-side so it makes sense that they wanted it in here but Toumei Ningen would fit the sound of the album so much better.

Pick Me Up (5.5/10) - Actually fits alright with the album as a whole after hearing Story and Flash but still not a great track.

Cling Cling (7/10) - The great divider. Personally, I'm a fan. In fact after going back and listening to the single and this back to back I think Nakata could have actually taken this mix a bit further.

Hold Your Hand (4/10) - Song's not awful but I don't want to hear it here.

Overall: 5.5/10

Opinions have changed somewhat since last night and my overall impression of the album has gone up by half a point but I still think it's definitely worse than Level 3 and therefore the worst album overall.

I'm so mad. At least Miracle and Story benefit from being loud as fuck. The mixing is bad here tho, the highs are gone and the mids are all muddy. I miss Level3's level of mixing.

Triangle = Level 3> Game> JPN> Cosemick Exploraha!

JPN is the laziest album Nakata's ever done, how people don't put it on the bottom every time is beyond me. The original tracks on it are total garbage, aside from My Color, and the rest is just a random mishmash of singles with no flow.
The Glitter remix was nice tho

Star Train is underappreciated but I get that most EDM/house/pop fans won't like ballads, especially if they don't understand the lyrics. It's highly rated in Japan.

>>15026702

Huh?

I like Story a lot, but it doesn't have shit on Edge, Party Maker or even Hurly Burly as far as bangerz go.

I love it when they cry.

Everything Nakata makes now just falls flat of being good. It's just painfully average.

Everything Nakata makes now just falls flat of being good. It's just painfully average.

Triangle is objectively a better album. 10/10 for me, and it's Perfume's best work. So yes, listen to Triangle next.

>>15029821
Jps bruh. But it just got uploaded so the download is quite slow, mine is still going after almost an hour. It'll probably be finished in the next 6 hours I assume.

>>15029839

Ah, I'm glad someone else is uploading - I was uploading mine to AB last night, but as the song goes

>if you're looking for cosmic explorer i feel bad for you son
>cause i got 99 problems and my seedbox is one

mfw missing first/early upload

I didn't download the flac cause right now i have no time, but the mixing is better than the mp3 ver?

>>15029944
Umm what? Are you retarded?

>>15029944
I am not sure yet, it is still downloading... Fuck this I'm just going to let this download overnight. I'll tell you tomorrow whether there is a difference in the mix or not.

>>15030069
they don't even want people posting setlists to the concerts

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that the limited edition doesn't have a CD case? The album CD is in a cheap fucking plastic sliver and the blu ray is in a cheap plastic case that barely protects it. They didn't even cheap out like this with the singles.

>>15030358
Hah! I felt the exact same way. It's pretty shitty that they skimped out on a case. The box is annoying as fuck to open as well.
Not only did the regular edition come with am actual case, it also had better artwork.
Go fucking figure.
Good thing I just rip these things and stick them in storage.

Just watch the MV that's posted a bit up in the thread, that's the single version.

So... what's up with the two seconds of ailence at the end of the intro track on Cosmic Explorer?
Or did I just a bum mix?

>>15030871
nakata do what he wanna do

>>15030871
someone needs to make that shit gapless

>>15030961
Seriously. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the album. It has a nice flow to it and reminds me of concept albums like ELO's Time. But that glaring two second silence is just lazy when you can tell there should be a gapless transition to the next track.

>>15030979
>>15030961
you mean like this? http://picosong.com/Njzr/
i think having a gap at the end was deliberate but it goes on slightly too longer than it should

>>15030991
Just like that, it sounds so much better and doesn't disrupt the flow. Fucking lazy ass Hackata. Hell, someone had to sign off on it after Nakata, whoever that was is also a faggot.

why do we hate Level3? its their best work next to Triangle

honestly spring of life makes me wanna be gay and power bottom, it's that infleuntial.

>>15031078
We don't. It's just plebs doing what plebs do best.

>>15031078
people can't tell you why they don't like level 3. they never ever can.

also another person thinking triangle is better than game. but not only that thinking level 3 is better than game.

wtf is going on man?

I think that Display should've been on this album instead of Relax or Pick Me Up, I think a display album mix would've worked better with this albums heavier edm focus.

A-side singles are always going to be on the album

I would have liked a Pick Me Up album mix. That song is weird. I really hate the first 10 seconds or so, but it's good once it gets going. It's better when they play it live because it starts a little differently.

the funny thing is all of these people talking up comsic explorer and how great it is are likely going to leave the thread sometime this week and only the core perfume gen audience will remain.

Shut up Ray Joe

look people there is only one fucking objective tier list and I'm tired of all these fake fans getting it wrong.

it goes GAME>TRIANGLE>COMPLETE BEST>Cosmic Explorer> Level 3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SHIT>>>>>>JPN

Level 3 had some great album originals and great flow but had some pretty boring as songs that came with it too and some worse than trash album mixes.

cosmic explorer also had some great album orginals and actually didn't have any shit ones yet cling cling album mix is the worst thing nakata has done next to clown car horns and sweet refrain was a heavy downgrade from the single, not to mention his best song is clear plagerization, ferrel got sued for blurred lines and this is on that level.

but yet with that being said Cosmic explorer at least had a fantastic opening just like Triangle did so I have to rate it. JPN is trash and has no redeemable features. other than have a strolls choreo holly shit that ass shaking is TOO nice, over all it's actually a pretty good song to see live kokoro no sports is also pretty good but pretty much average for a perfume song which makes it sad that it's the best album exclusive JPN has, at least the opening was very smooth, I listen to it more than take off desu

GAME over Triangle every single time.

Triangle is so strong because of one thing. take off into, love the world into dream fighter intoedge into night flight.

that flow is so golden it's a master piece. also the best thing is one of their best album exclusives of all time up there with clockwork, 1mm, secret secret and game.

where it fails is sounding very samish and not really going through many different sounds, not to mention one room disco being shoehorned in, kiss and music is pretty trash and honestly while the songs are fantastic they are pretty harsh on the ears for prolonged periods of time so while I love zero gravity I rarely ever get to it seeing as by the time night flight is done I'm both quenched and incapable to listen to more hyper ultered voices.


once you start GAME you litrually can't stop till it's finished. I've late for shit constantly because of being stuck listening to GAME. not to mention that secret secret and GAME are in perfumes top 3 best songs of all time. butterfly is one of perfumes most chill ass songs that they have and over all GAME has litrually no bad songs on it. plastic smile, salami girl and puppy love are neglected ass songs in my book. people forget about them and perfume rarely perfom them. ceramic girl being the least neglected. yet it's probably plastic smile that is the best of those.

when was the last time the perfomed that?

also perfumes old shit is fucking gold fuck the guy that said complete best is trash


TL;DL: objective facts backed up with well revised and peer reviewed information that you can't deny backing up my opinion.

Holy shit the amount of mixing issues in this album are UNBEARABLE
Did they not even give this a listen before pressing all the commercial copes?

>>15032484
>someone put this much effort into bait

This is "litrually" what Gamefags look like, people.

>>15032663
this new fag doesn't understand that posts always come in waves.

you understand that people wake up usually at the same time in different time zones.

the cances of 3 people waking up or coming home from work and posting isn't that small a chance.

usually the way to tell is observing their rhetoric and post styles.

thats how I usually manage to suss out image.jpg. he posts a hell of a lot like you only I know it can't possibly be you seeing as Image.jpg is devoted to the destruction of all perfume fans so he would never defend the album

unless..

Bad album!

Good album!

am i a pleb because i think JPN is their best album.

Cosmic explorer is hella f*cking epic and it defanitely wins the entire internets for being sooo great!!!1!

>>15030417
Hey does it look like Nocchi starts to fall at like 2:4ish in the Flash MV? I swear they cut it right as she starts to go down.

>>15033259
At 2:45 ish

A little review:

I kind of like the album mixes in CE or at the very least on the fence with them being there. At the very least they don't screw up the songs chosen (hard to make Tokimeki sound worse lol).

Starting from SR and you'll hear some electric guitar, which will be used a little less in Baby Face (next song) to a lesser effect in the next song.

But then we have Star Train's kazoos which sound weird and out of place and don't flow well at all from the previous song. It doesn't do the song a disservice (downgrades it a bit but you might disagree) but it doesn't help the album itself.

Cling Cling sounds a bit different... not a fan of the changes as Nakata does away with a lot of the East asian shit it had going on (and which made it unique) and puts some weird computer/UFO sounds that seem out of place. He didn't even fix that weird I will cling to your chest in the middle of the song.

Why does every song in this album have them going "oooo"

makes me think this album is fucking haunted.

>>15033270
Holy shit, this is the first time there's ever been a namefag in these threads.

Been here since the beginning, and I was starting to feel that this general was becoming redundant, but now we have a namefag and everything is finally coming together.

Congratulations Perfume General.
It took 1 and a half years, but it all came down to this moment and may there be countless more to come.

>>15033332
you honor me

I'm actually a bit new here so I decided to put a name here. Get some legitimacy and stop that faggot calling everyone a same-fag. Shit was rampant 2-3 threads ago. cringe-worthy.

btw, the album is on spotify.

>>15033374
Fuck off. You don't need legitimacy.

>>15032829
god I love jpn ... you're not alone don't worry

>>15032484
This fool is right though

The Cosmic Explorer album as a whole feels... outdated?

The trap shit on Story is horrible. Most of the songs other than the forgettable album mixes just feel like western sounding songs you'd hear on the radio 3 or 4 years ago.

>>15033518
Are you kidding me? JPN has Perfume's only rap song.

1 > 0. JPN wins, not even close.

I actually like My Color

Where's the torrent

Ok, this is my Album Review

Cosmic Explorer (2.5 Stars)

Miracle Worker (4 Stars)
I Liked, but still needs something in this song...

Next Stage With you (3,5 Stars)
Is a good song, but could have been better exploited

Story (2 Stars)
Why use that long intro? Why use this style of music to perfume? This is Perfume or DeadMau5?

Flash Album Mix (5 Stars)
Best Song of Album, they did better than original, this is Perfume at finest

Sweet Refrain Album Mix (4,5 Stars)
One more time, better than Original Mix

Baby Face (3 Stars)
Seems that Perfume take some inspiration from Avicii

Tokimeki Lights album mix (3 Stars)
This is even a remix? it looked like original

Star Train Album Mix (3 Stars)
Again, same original song just some new FX

Relax in the City / Pick Me Up
I Will jump both songs review beacuse is same thing from single

Cling Cling Album Mix (2,5 Stars)
For third time... Original Music + New FX

Total (3,3 Stars)
Is not the Worst Perfume Album but is also not the Best.... i Think that perfume should back to Origins of his success (Polyrithm Single Era) in terms of creativity, maybe last album can be the last one (i hope not)

LEVEL 3
Triangle
Complete Best
Game
Cosmic Explorer
JPN

>>15033572
I hate My Color but I don't mind the other JPN songs. My biggest gripe with JPN is the song arrangement compared to the previous albums. But JPN looks like solid gold compared to level 3/CE

>>15033544
ye nakata has definitely lost his touch

>Perfume debut on US television... when?

Flash + Cosmic Explorer (song) > Cosmic Explorer (album)

CE overall 7.5/10 pretty good

>>15034030
US audience isn't interested in any of the snoozefest songs on CE.

>>15033666
I assume this is out of 10 stars

>>15033544
The album as a whole gave me this conflicted feeling. I love Perfume, but the album is nothing like what Perfume used to be about.

Listening to GAME and Triangle kinda bugs me now. CE is just so disparate in comparison. I really never thought they'd released an album with less lyrics than Level 3. I mean sure the girls have always been about dancing, but that only applies to their shows, not an album. I want songs that are fun to listen and watch. Even worse, Perfume is too late in the game to switch producer, so they'll be heading down the slippery slope till they retire in 2 years.

>>15034146
Hopefully the album flops so nakata can chase a trend other than edm. That, or make a genuinely good album for mito.

Kyary is even more far gone than perfume lol

320kbps on slsk now

>>15034146
Exactly the same sentiments here. The songs might grow on me eventually, but this kind of thing splits fanbases. Their heavy non-use of lyrics and instead reliance on fucking awoo's goes to show that the focus was for more catchy songs. The avici example was dead-on. This might work, but chances are that it won't and in the process further split the older fans from supporting the group.

Also not understanding why tumblerinas are so happy with this album. Withdrawal?

>>15033262
it just looks like shes doing the same move as a-chan and yuka but facing the other direction, and she just does quickly and sharply so it looks the way it looks.

>>15033325
either laziness, attempting to make it catchy, or both!

The mixing errors are enough for me to consider this album as complete trash.
I love how all the tumblrinas just ignore all the blatant problems.
Fucking clipping issues, random spots of just empty audio, it's disgusting.
Deaf faggots.

wew lad

>>15033325
This really bugged me
>>15033544
The constant "whoa-ohhs" and "ohhh-whoas" in the album definitely feels like some shit you'd hear from a western artist to save actually having to write lyrics because making noises is easier to sing along to!
>>15034375
>Also not understanding why tumblerinas are so happy with this album. Withdrawal?
Echo chamber/hivemind mentality. Everybody's too afraid to come out and say the album is fucking trash and will call you a hipster if you say you prefer their earlier work to the post-JPN era shlock.

>>15034488
absolutely disgusting

>>15030991
is it just me or does audacity refuse to export cosmic explorer after i edit it?

>>15034625
it exported alright for me. the only thing i could possibly think of is maybe try removing any japanese characters from the metadata since that can be fucky sometimes. at least for me, songs i created in FL Studio and then would try to export from audacity (for whatever reason) wouldn't work until i removed "FL Studio.11" or whatever from the metadata. idk worth a shot

>>15034642
weird lol, no matter how many times i crop cosmic explorer, the exported mp3 is always exactly the same. well fuck that shit then

>>15034642
thanks bruh, i think it has something to do with the fact that i'm only cropping out like 0.05s, and audacity probably thinks that's nothing so it just shits out the same file lel

Why does the Album-mix of FLASH suck?
Thank God for CD 2

>>15035113
The album mix of flash is one of the best songs on the album though

>>15035113
lmao cd 2 is worthless

>>15035221
lmao ur right
unless u want an hour of the girls talking

>>15035633
you could atleast give some context

>>15035712
i assume he's referring to the silence at the end of Navigate

>>15035712
spoonfeeding occurs on reddit

>yfw this is AWOO the album

not all tumblrinas but the leddit also are saying that this album is great and blabalbalbla

Take me

The 2nd highest comment on the Reddit thread is saying the album is bad it's not as full of blind fangays as tumblr

Thank you. Always hear about them. For some reason I thought they were older like pushing 40.

>>15035768
wait so that silence is intentional? I thought it was only on the leak as I haven't had the chance to download the CD rip from JPS yet.

Seriously what the fuck Nakata?

>>15035787
he could be talking about the new justin bieber song for all i know, facebookfag are not my thing

>>15036126
The real question, is the 3:20 thingy on cosmic explorer is on the cd rip too

>>15036060
http://www.reddit.com/r/Perfume/comments/4d8qmk/cosmic_explorer_discussion_thread_spoilers/d1ozzh3

Dude thinks JPN is their best album so he has shit taste, but he's still not into CE.

>>15036301
Yes, all the "issues" are on the cd audio as well. The source was just sloppily put together. I hope Japanese reviewers reem Nakata for doing such a shitty job.

>original songs are meh
>album mixes are too

Worst album in the history of perfume. I'm gonna listen to Omajinai perori now.

>>15034906
>using Nakata to represent quality with A-Chan
heh

>>15031723
this is the least comfy perfume gen has ever been

>>15036342
I don't think the hate for JPN still applies after how hard their quality has dropped during/after the Level 3 era.

JPN has some of my favorite singles on it.

>>15036342
>"This isn't to say that I don't enjoy the album, because it has it's shining moments. (Just as a sidenote on that, one of those moments for me is Miracle Worker. I am absolutely in love with that song. It sounds like joy, sadness, longing, and nostalgia all somehow mixed into one sonic experience, and I can't stop listening)"

how new are you? the lack of emotion is one of perfume's key traits

I love how he pussyfoots around, instead of just saying thing straight out. That karma shit really has their balls in a vice.
>>15036628
I don't think so m8. This is probably the best the gen has been in a long time. Much better than circlejerking and waifuposting.
>>15036716
lmao being auto tuned doesn't signify lack of emotion. Listen to Triangle again in its entirety then come back.

>cling cling album mix

JUST

>>15036627
you don't know how vintage this meme is.
It's a reference to the orginal meme that I made in 2014 before cling cling even came out.

no one could have known that the dry patch wasn't a patch at all.

when depicting A~chan fags we use nakata, when depicting yuka fags we use aoi honoo and when we depict nocchi fags we use any random weeb.

this is what 2ch has to say

I actually loved this album and want to fuck Nacho in the ass

>>15036889
What in the actual fuck is going on with the intro of Cling Cling? Why is the inhalation and first consonant of the second half of the chorus there?

Is the title track the greatest song of all time, or just the last 10 years?

>>15037313
at least of the last century

bravo mikikko

>>15037049

>>15037075
The "cli-" bit?

>>15036301
seriously that thing ruins the song for me. what the fuck happened

>>15036852
That was in 2014? Fuck.

I guess I've been out of the loop as pitlord. I should've waifu'd A-Chan instead of Kashi way back in 2010 when I first got into Perfume

being an A~chan fag is pretty much equally as shit at this point. rarely anything come from A~chan these days and while she looks great these days her dresses are rarely ever good. while nocchi's outfits tend to be bad too the usually are a little better and also have a cute autistic appeal to them.

also nocchi has been a gold mine for the past two years.

2014 was a great year for depressed pictures and so was mid 2015 but when she is lively she is actually a lot better so I'm really enjoying her at the moment.


chubby A~chan> happy nocchi> current A~chan > depressed nocchi > sexy yuka > cute yuka = fringe nocchi > current yuka.

>>15038001
I haven't liked their outfits since Spice, honestly.

2008-2009 Yuka > Chubby A-Chan > Happy(! 2008) Nocchi > Current A-Chan > Current Nocchi > 2012-Current Yuka.

>>15037940

man that's one mess of a list.

what I love about nocchi is that she is always hooking us the fuck up with the good shit. I said it way before perfume view that came with star train but once that came out it only strenghened my point.

pointing at yuka's legs, taking shots of their shoes for us, giving us the close ups. nocchi just want us to stay and she knows giving us nuts to buss is the best way to do that. nocchi is smart.

Their shoe game has been trash since 2009.

its about that time of year when i require perfume comf and rewatch Happy/Chandelier House

>>15036884
Willing to bet a nickel that JPN and Level 3 were their first album.

what would you say are the top 5 mistakes on this album? any answer is good

>>15038943
But perfume is western otaku tier, in Japan it's normie stuff.

>>15039093
no don't do this!
We're edgy ppl with honest opinions and definitely not tumblr-like in our blind hatred to the smallest of issues.

actually some posts here have brought up good points, esp mixing and stupidly loud tracks...
but shit like >>15037893 makes me go wtf. A freaking hiccup/stutter ruined a track? dat autism.
I'm okay with the album desu but was expecting something more. This isn't Perfume.. it's an unholy western Capsule-AVICI track.

>>15039116
Tumblr blindly defends CE because they don't want to appear the odd one out of the hugbox.

If you like CE that's fine but being a fan doesn't mean that you can't look at something objectively or base things on the artists' past releases. I, as a westerner, would not pay to hear the songs on Cosmic Explorer performed live but I would (and have) everything before it.

>>15039093
1. Tracklist (no Toumei Ningen, Ijiwaru, etc)
2. Track order
3. Silence after Navigate
4. Brickwall
5. Makes me want to listen to game instead

this meme's getting old

>>15041270
it's not a meme and you're just being a pleb faggot right now

>>15041270
with 13 million views on yt, i wouldn't say its exactly literally who status, but thats besides the point.

in this case, Nakata did a remix for the guy and did a joint interview with him where they praised each others work a while back, and now we have Cosmic Explorer which sounds blatantly like the Madeon song.

>>15041363
There's also an interesting coincidence between boomboomsatellite's what goes round comes around and perfume's party maker. At the very start of bbs's song, you'll hear something familiar.

>>15041475
Guess I'm the only one that heard a similarity between Candy Candy and Sweet Refrain's album mix

>>15041363
i just listened to them back to back and they're only vaguely similar in tone - the song construction is nothing alike

nicely meme'd

I really hate how people are calling cosmic explorer "80s" sounding like it's a good thing. The instrumental just sounds like neo-80s trash by Kavinsky or Lazerhawk.

Love the World sounds retro and it's nice, Cosmic Explorer doesn't.

Is this Better?

the "woooowooooo" shit in Cosmic Explorer and Miracle Worker makes them fucking trash.

>too much western
now THIS is the top meme

1. jpop has been heavily influenced by the west since the beginning
2. they chose their most "western" songs for their 2014 tour, and guess what, that includes most of their GAME/Triangle hits
3. they're worried about their upcoming american shows because they're part of their Cosmic Explorer tour, and the songs on there are more appealing to the Japanese than the west

>>15042550
Still too much western

>>15042550
SHUT Up
SHUT UP!

this is why I always always always say no new fags.

this nigger doesn't even know about 10 guys 1 toilet and he has the audacity to post in this thread.

what happened to the good old days were new fags would stay fucking quiet and just lurk. now they want to share their trash fucking opinions.

>>15042900
i wish you would stay quiet forever

>>15042991
same desu

>>15042550
and it sounds like shit now.

GAME was the first electro-pop album to chart #1 on Oricon since YMO, which is probably my favorite Japanese band of all time. You felt echoes of classic synthpop and electronic music in GAME and Triangle.

Perfume don't feel like electro-pop at all anymore compared to their earlier work with Nakata. If going western means going EDM then it's fucking trash and isn't worth it.

>>15036647
Wow, you're so edgy.

>>15042884
She took turns and called them in one by one. And was rejected by them in the same manner.

>>15043367

I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually enjoyed listening to Metal Resistance this week more than listening to Cosmic Explorer.

kill me

Ok I'm just gonna come out and say that I'm a new fag. I've known Perfume for a while and listened to their stuffs on occasions. Came across a dl of CE and gave it a listen, I quite like it but I understand the sound is massively different from the old perfume. Anw since then I've been digging non-stop to find anything with them on it, and currently in the process of watching the rest of the stuffs on the PerfumeFansub group on YT but I'm afraid I'm running out. What do guys? I dont wanna get back to the real world

>>15043832
never
that would require creativity

>>15044128
Just watch Happy! and then watch Chandelier House.

Then cry when you realize there are only 5 SUBBED EPISODES OF CHANDELIER HOUSE

Then just watch Happy again

>>15044128
Despite Perfume selling out and becoming westernized their fanservice for western fans is sorely lacking. Also, before Perfume joined Universal they were part of Tokuma Japan which cracked down on 99% of Youtube uploads back in the day which made it very hard to find most videos of them. I had to go on fucking Dailymotion to watch Glitter when it came out since it kept getting taken down from Youtube.

PTA members get shafted in terms of fanclub benefits and the few benefits you do get (Blog pics/vids) are small like pic related.

hope you like tiny ass pictures and videos that are barely worth the effort of saving, senpai! That'll be $15 a year.

Also Perfumefansubs are dead. They did all of Happy! at least but disbanded before tackling No Chandeleir House.

>>15044050
karate was really good iirc. is the album better than the first?

>>15044357
>cry when you realize there are only 5 SUBBED EPISODES OF CHANDELIER HOUSE
no, you start learning nihongo :^)

If any of you know where this is from and if there's a larger HD version, lemme know

>>15044784
No, but it has some pretty good/catchy songs and way better production/mixing than CE.
Just ignore Meta Taro.

baby metal shites have made their way back into the thread.

have I ever been wrong?

getting tired of the same old cycle.

>be comfy
>new people come
>hey guys here are all the links, I'll spoon feed them to you, hey listen to these albums why listen to them reverse chronologically when people can tell you exactly what to do.

No that is okay go away

>>15045225
perfume no chandiler is not a good source for nocchi autism as it's all scripted. if you want the dankest autism you have to go to the interviews.

ehh this is a little autistic.
videos mostly good because of A~chan blowing the fuck out of nocchi for the 100th time.

don't mind the baby shitter we get this every sping, baby shitters are normal fag regects so while everyone else is going out and lviing happy lives they are indoors wishing that they could fit in with the rest of the normies and take it out on us as a result.

>>15045476

you do realize that shut ins are normal anons and the reverse are cancerous newfags? lol

>>15045494
he doesn't

>>15045494
my normal fag regects aren't real shut in's they are redditers, they go outside try to mate with a girl and then get blown the fuck out.

the real anons are the people that gave up trying and just like to post comfy shit after a long day of working at a piece of shit job that makes them hate themselves.

>>15045532
that's some hard core projecting you're doing there sonny.

did you only just come to /jp/ after finding about baby metal in late 2015 or something?

>>15045547
it's always got to go back to babymetal doesn't it lol

>>15045606
it's the reason you're not welcom here

Fuck Babymetal fans
Fuck faggots who hate Complete Best

Anyways Cosmic Explorer was okay. The first half and more of the album was decent, then became absolute shit from STAR TRAIN and on. The last third of the album ruins it for me. If it wasn't for Miracle Worker, STORY, and Flash I would of quit Perfume and hung myself.

GAME > ⊿ > Complete Best >>>>>>> Cosmic Explorer = Level 3 > JPN

(although JPN had way better singles than CE and Level 3 it blows ass as an album)

Anyone here going to the San Francisco show?

Reminder that A-chan is the only acceptable waifu because she's the only one that hasn't been in a dating scandal. The other two are used goods.

It's all good. I have been on a search for prime A-chan smiles lately. I only post once every other thread in recent months, ever since the numbered generals went away.
