*Info copied from Generasia (the biography at Generasia was mostly written by myself)

Perfume is a Japanese technopop unit who is considered today to be one of the most popular acts in Japanese music.

In 2000, three young girls formed a group together in their hometown of Hiroshima. They were Nishiwaki Ayaka (A~chan), Kashino Yuka (Kashiyuka), and Kawashima Yuuka (Kawayuka). Because all three members had the Japanese character for fragrance in their names (香), they named the group Perfume. However, before the group could even debut, Kawashima decided to pull out of the project and pursue her studies.

Perfume decided to continue on as a duo but Nishiwaki's mother commented on the lack of power that a two-member group has. Nishiwaki set out to find a replacement, and Oomoto Ayano (Nocchi) joined as the third member. The three girls attended the Actors School in Hiroshima (as part of the inaugural class of 1999) so although it was awkward for Nocchi and Kashiyuka at first (they had never met before being introduced by A~chan), they soon became a tight-knit group.

In 2001, Perfume debuted in Hiroshima with the single "OMAJINAI★Perori". They followed up the release with "Kareshi Boshuuchuu". Both singles were only sold in Hiroshima under Momiji Label. Around this time they also met Mikiko, a choreographer who would go on to coordinate all of the group's dances from this point forward.

In 2003, following their graduation from the Actors School in Hiroshima, the trio moved to Tokyo. There, they became a part of BEE-HIVE (an idol group similar to Hello! Project) and signed with the management office Amuse Inc.. As a part of BEE-HIVE, the trio experienced the harsh reality of life away from home as well as dormitory life. However, they also made friends and learned valuable lessons.

In Tokyo, they also met someone who would become a crucial aspect of their success, capsule's Nakata Yasutaka who would become their main producer. Between the years of 2003 and 2004, they released "Sweet Donuts", "Monochrome Effect", and "Vitamin Drop" under the indies label BEE-HIVE RECORDS. It was also during this time that they had their first 3 live performances. Because the girls were so energetic, fans acquired an appreciation for them. Still, none of their releases became a hit. Not very many people showed up to Perfume's lives and they struggled to build a fanbase. Although the members became distressed by their lack of success, they carried on. Though they were in danger of being dropped, their management office made the choice to give Perfume a major debut.

On September 21, 2005, Perfume made its major label debut under the label, Tokuma Japan Communications. They released Linear Motor Girl, which managed to chart on the Oricon charts at #99.

Two singles, "Computer City" and "Electro World" followed in 2006. Around this time, more people began to notice Perfume through rumors on the internet as well as through YouTube videos. Nakata's unique style led to Perfume being crowned as a "near future technopop unit". However, none of the three releases was a solid hit.

On August 2, 2006, Perfume released Perfume ~Complete Best~ along with a new track, Perfect Star, Perfect Style (パーフェクトスター・パーフェクトスタイル). They promoted the album at small events in stores and on streets, even handing out leaflets to passing strangers. The album reached #33 on the Oricon charts (later climibing up as high as #25 with the release of Perfume's 2nd album GAME). The release of this compilation caused fans to worry that the group's disbandment was near as usually, groups who release best-of albums before they have a major hit are disbanded soon after.
On December 20, 2006, Perfume released a download exclusive song, Twinkle Snow Powdery Snow. The song later appeared on their single, Fan Service [sweet].

On December 21, 2006, Perfume had a live concert held at Harajuku Astro Hall which was later recorded and released as Fan Service [bitter].

While almost all of the other BEE-HIVE members began to get dropped by Amuse Inc., Perfume was given the opportunity to release another single. In February 2007, they released "Fan Service [sweet]" featuring the fun dance track "Chocolate Disco". This was a turning point for Perfume in which their luck began to change. Although the sales for "Fan Service [sweet]" were not stellar, "Chocolate Disco" did catch the attention of an already well-established artist in the J-pop industry, Kimura Kaela. Kimura then played Perfume's music on her radio show consistently. While listening to Kimura's radio show, a commercial director named Akira Tomotsugi noticed Perfume and decided to use the three girls in an upcoming TV ad.

On July 1, 2007, the commercial for NHK's national recycling campaigned aired, featuring Perfume and a new song, "Polyrhythm". The commercial gave Perfume exposure they could have only dreamed of before.
Subsequently, their next live show sold out, Perfume ~Complete Best~ reached #1 on the Amazon CD charts, and Perfume became the first idol group to perfume at the Summer Sonic music festival.

On September 12, 2007, Perfume released their 10th single "Polyrhythm". It reached #4 on the Oricon daily single charts and climbed as high as #7 on the weekly charts. This is noted as the beginning of Perfume's national fame.

In 2008, the group followed up the success of "Polyrhythm" with "Baby cruising Love / Macaroni". The single reached #3 on the Oricon weekly charts and sold 50,000 copies.

On April 16, 2008, Perfume released their first orignal album, GAME. GAME reached #1 on the Oricon charts upon its release, making Perfume the first technopop group to achieve this since Yellow Magic Orchestra in 1983. Amazingly, at the time of the album's release, Perfume ~Complete Best~, "Polyrhythm", and "Baby cruising Love / Macaroni" all re-entered the Oricon charts. The album went on to sell over 450,000 copies and is certified double platinum.

After the album's release, Perfume First Tour "GAME" was announced. The group toured 10 cities and sold out all tickets. On the final date of the tour, Perfume announced that they would be doing a 2-day show at the prestigous Nippon Budokan in November 2008 as well as the release date of their next single, "love the world".

"love the world" was released on July 9, 2008. It became the first technopop song to ever reach #1 on the Oricon charts.
In October 2008, the Perfume First Tour "GAME" DVD was announced. Upon its release, it beat out prominent artists like Koda Kumi and Namie Amuro for the #1 spot.

Perfume then performed at Budokan for 2 days, November 6th and 7th. On the second show, titled "BUDOUKaaaaaaaaaaN!!!!!", they announced a show at yet another famous venue, Yoyogi National Gymnasium titled "Disco!Disco!Disco!".

The year 2008 ended with the release of their 13th single, "Dream Fighter" which reached #2 on the charts.
They were also chosen to sing at NHK's 59th Kouhaku Uta Gassen , the prestigious end of the year live TV program (with A~chan fulfilling one of her lifelong dreams).

On March 25, 2009, Perfume released their 14th single, "One Room Disco". The single reached #1 on the charts.
In April 2009, Perfume began broadcast of a comedy sketch program titled Perfume's Chandelier House.

On July 8, 2009, the group released its 3rd album, ⊿. The album was another #1 hit for Perfume, selling over 300,000 copies. Perfume then went on their 2nd nationwide tour in order to promote the album.

In 2010, Perfume released "Fushizen na Girl / Natural ni Koishite", which reached #2 on the charts. They went on a fanclub-exclusive tour and titled P.T.A. Spring 2010 Tour.

Perfume took part in a commercial for a Pepsi NEX campaign in Japan. In that comercial, they covered a short segment of Lovefool by The Cardigans. Other famous participants in the Pepsi NEX campaign include Koda Kumi and Utada Hikaru.

On August 11, 2010, Perfume celebrated their 10th anniversary with the release of their 16th single, "VOICE".

On November 3, 2010, Perfume performed at the prestigious Tokyo Dome in a special live titled 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 in celebration of their 10th anniversary together as a group. Perfume was the first female group to have a concert at the dome since SPEED in 1998 and the 2nd female group overall. Perfume performed in front of 50,000 fans for that show.

On November 28, 2010, Perfume attended the Korean awards show Mnet! Asian Music Awards in Macau to receive the "Best Asia Pop Artist Award". It was Perfume's first overseas performance and the first time that a Japanese artist had attended the awards in person (AKB48 appeared the previous year on the show through a satellite broadcast).

On February 9, 2011, Perfume released their 5th concert DVD, titled Kessei 10 Shunen, Major Debut 5 Shunen Kinen! Perfume LIVE at Tokyo Dome 「1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11」 . It was filmed at their November 3, 2010 Tokyo Dome concert. The DVD debuted at #1 on the Oricon Weekly DVD charts and Perfume became the first female group to have four consecutive #1 debuts on the DVD chart.

On May 18, 2011, Perfume released their 18th single, "Laser Beam / Kasuka na Kaori". The single reached #2 on the Oricon Weekly single charts. It sold over 90,000 copies in the first week, marking the group's best first week sales for a single.

In September they finally announced the release of their 4th Album JPN. JPN was released on November 30th and immediately went to #1 on the Oricon Daily Chart. The album took the #1 spot in the Oricon Weekly Chart of its release making Perfume the first girl group to have 3 consecutive #1 album releases since SPEED.

At the end of February 2012, Perfume announced that they have changed record labels to Universal Music Japan with an intent to enter the global market. They then officially kicked off overseas activities by releasing JPN in 50 countries on the iTunes Store, launching an official global website, and opening an official YouTube channel.

Following the label change, Perfume announced their 20th single titled "Spring of Life". The song was used in a CM for Kirin, which was shot in Los Angeles, California. It was the first time that Perfume had shot a video overseas. The B-Side called Communication is the tie-in for the candy "KANRO Puré Gummy".

On 5th June the official site revealed the release date for the JPN Tour DVD. It will hit stores on August 1st.
In March they also released a tie-in from Kirin with a new song called POINT. The song was used again in may to promote for Kirin. On June 6th another new CM was released including the brand new song Hurly Burly.

Finally on 23th June, after hosting the VMAJ, Perfume announced on their offical site the release of their new single Spending all my time for August 15th. The single will have POINT as well as Hurly Burly as B-Sides.

On July 23, 2012, Perfume announced simultaneously the release of their first global album titled Perfume Global Compilation "LOVE THE WORLD" as well as their first Asia tour, during which the group will make stops in Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Yay to the new thread! Awesome title btw ;)!

Jester 28th July 2012 09:58 PM

Later on LOCKS! they announced that Spending all my time will NEVER BE PERFORMED ON TV. It’s reserved for lives only.






adantatu2 30th July 2012 04:29 AM

Wow, amazing effects !!!

Beauty4123 31st July 2012 04:57 PM

i've listened to "Spending all my time" & it's totally amazing! :D

prussian blue 1st August 2012 03:33 AM



I found it's pretty boring so far. The song is club-ish but the video looks pretty calming...

AyuGAME 1st August 2012 04:24 AM

love the concept and i believe there is a lot of symbolisym on the PV...
still not too fond with the song, but love the PV concept

ll moments ll 1st August 2012 09:30 AM

their PVs are always so interesting. i love it! :heart can't wait for the whole thing.

the song's not their best, but still enjoyable for me. :)

Jester 1st August 2012 01:34 PM


The news show some the few of the PV that we haven't seen in the short ver.
It's really cute and interesting.

adantatu2 2nd August 2012 02:56 AM

^thanks, now the pv looks more promising, the preview was boring

Yumsushi 2nd August 2012 03:54 AM

So I'm not sure I'm liking the new production. However its nice to hear them sounding more music and less robotic.

AyuGAME 2nd August 2012 06:14 AM

the PV for spending all my time, really save the song for me

psychic power!

Beauty4123 3rd August 2012 05:01 PM

i really like the PV so far! it's pretty cool. :D i can't wait to watch the full PV!

Delicious n Bold 3rd August 2012 05:04 PM

So, their new album is gonna be released all over the world, right? Including iTunes?

ruixiong89 4th August 2012 05:38 AM

Absolutely awesome! Totally love them! Have you guys heard the fan made version of HURLY BURLY?


zellyx 4th August 2012 11:48 AM

The song is really starting to grow on me, and I like the MV, I just wish it was brighter... like the outfits or something!
spending o spending spending all my time~~

When's the album coming out?

~Amy~ 5th August 2012 01:44 AM

Does anyone know if Hurly Burly and Point will have PV's? o.o

adantatu2 5th August 2012 03:09 AM

Good PV !!

jeffycue 5th August 2012 03:18 AM

seriously?! that's the whole song? sounds like an extended interlude.

Nope. Not for this single at least.

I love the PV! It's so surrealistic and it's pretty different from what they usually do.

~kashifaita~ 5th August 2012 05:31 AM

^ Kinda hoping they'll pull a FAKE IT and do a PV for either/or of the songs in their next album.

The PV didn't leave much of an impact on me at first. But after rewatching it countlessly, the symbolism you can get behind it is amazing o___o.
Def does the song justice. It'd say it's like another version of Spice/continuation of Spring of Life.

It would've been nice if they actually opened the door they kept trying to open throughout the PV...
but I guess that just adds more to the symbolism xP.

But srsly, I'm in desperate need of the full Hurly Burly and POINT. August 15th cannot come any sooner.

adantatu2 6th August 2012 03:53 AM

^me too, i hope they can make videos for both songs (they are really good)

zellyx 6th August 2012 06:06 AM

I have yet to hear Point, but I love Hurly Burly and Spending All My Time!

The PV is particularly lovely! But again, just wish the colors were brighter.

tinka69 6th August 2012 06:43 AM

Not as amazing as Spring of Life but has 'catch' potential lol

CHE.R.RY 6th August 2012 06:52 PM

I know I'm a lil late but spending all my time was an awesome video! It made me appreciate the song more.

Jester 6th August 2012 07:45 PM

JPN Tour


CoriKaru 6th August 2012 11:15 PM

I love the "Spending all my time" music video.

Some of the shots of them, like of Nocchi and Kashiyuka standing at the door waiting like little zombie children for A-Chan to get it open were hauntingly alluring. They look like Animes. Especially in that scene.

And again.........when Kashiyuka thrusts her arms out over the table to push back objects with her mind, it looks like her arm is broke. Whenever these girls extend their arms, it looks so unnatural.

This video seriously makes the song better. Because by itself...............mnh.

And they make me feel like such a pervert the way they have the shot of just their legs/feet dangling in the chair dancing with their hands pushing their dresses down between their legs to hide their bits. It's not like I'm looking but it makes me feel like they're accusing me of trying to peep so they hide it anyway. I didn't ask ya'll to sit like that, shove a camera up there and start moving your knees, ankles and toes.

And I want to know how they rank themselves and who had 1, 2, and 3 on which arm.

I'm guessing A-Chan got 1
Nocchi got 2
and Kashiyuka got 3.

And I like when Kashiyuka shut A-Chan up and put her hand over her mouth and proceeded to sing instead. Shut her down.

And I'm thinking that they were inside the room on the other side of the door.

At the end when A-Chan is knocking, jiggling the knob and rocking the lock and then you see all 3 of them sitting at a table floating apples and then their attention gets divided and they all look over at the camera and the apples drop, that's them looking over at the door that they're knocking on.

I'm guessing whatever they're doing is a secret, which is why the door is locked and they don't want themselves or anybody else to get in and see them.

prussian blue 7th August 2012 04:46 AM



spending all my time looks good in live

CoriKaru 7th August 2012 06:19 AM

Their "Spending all my time" LIVE Choreography is very reminiscent of their "不自然なガール"/"Fushizen na Girl" Choreography.

I still hate it when A-Chan decides to go off script though and ad-lib/scream and shout maniacally.

Beauty4123 7th August 2012 06:38 PM

the PV was very nice! :) and the song is still so amazing, too. :D

I love the Spending all my time video! I didn't consider myself a fan before but I certainly do now! Does anyone know the meaning behind it? It felt really symbolic.

ll moments ll 10th August 2012 03:03 AM

ahhh, i love the PV. it's so cool and very artistic. i can't wait for the single to leak. :P i haven't heard any previews or whatever on "Point," but i love "Hurly Burly!" :)

first post updated. I love them. Tracklist is godly (minus the crap that is GLITTER).

Benikari47 10th August 2012 07:20 AM

^WAT!? Glitter is FLAWLESS http://i49.tinypic.com/35ixj4i.gif

I don't like the covers, i see what they were going for but it's meh.

prussian blue 10th August 2012 10:48 AM

WTF are those covers? They just look like characters from Itou Junji's comics :shock

The tracklist is fine, the new mix sounds promising and yay for edge! going to buy this even though the covers are ugly

jiarongisme 10th August 2012 02:49 PM

Not liking the covers at all. But the tracklist's pretty good!

Corvina 10th August 2012 04:06 PM

I really like the first cover, CD only, looks good!
But the other is horrible, I agree. :laugh

Beauty4123 10th August 2012 04:59 PM

the covers are cool. but the promo pic is totally awesome. :heart

the tracklist is great, as well. :D

dreamland2.0 10th August 2012 05:29 PM

The tracklist is really good, great choices! Except My Colour is a bit random. The covers are pretty cool!

AyuGAME 10th August 2012 05:57 PM

go international???

Zeke. 10th August 2012 06:44 PM

Love the covers - very creative!

CHE.R.RY 10th August 2012 07:33 PM

I'm looking forward to the new mixes of the songs & FAKE IT's PV :yes.

CoriKaru 11th August 2012 05:44 AM

Music Video Scenes Interlaced With Behind The Scene Shots.


I. LOLed.



............
.........
....

And as far as the Covers go. I don't really care for the Album. It's all being handled rather sloppily and whenever people hear "INTERNATIONAL", they get all these lofty expectations.

This is just another BEST Album for Japan. The Covers are just there.

The upcoming Single is still where it is all at.

prussian blue 11th August 2012 07:41 AM

hey guys I made a cover of spending all my time with my guitar, I thought it sounds good so I want to share it with you :laugh


Kouyou 11th August 2012 07:50 AM

^I thought your cover was very pretty. It gives the song a whole new meaning, and I loved the guitar. :)

zellyx 11th August 2012 09:21 AM

I really like your cover!!



And the barbie doll Hurly Burly made me lol..hahahah wth

Delicious n Bold 11th August 2012 08:17 PM

I'm looking forward to the new album more than this "compilation/best/whatever it is"

~kashifaita~ 12th August 2012 08:54 AM

The covers look pretty....okay. Doesn't really beat Spending all my time for me...
The tracklist looks weird, lol. I feel it just has a bunch of random songs put together (like...Butterfly? I love the song itself but it's strange they put it on the album).
But where is One Room Disco?! And Nee?! VOICE??

At least, theres a two mixes + a new PV to look forward to. Though that Polyrhythm historical thing looks pretty interesting...

...ugh, Spending all my time needs to leak NOWWWWWW.
//tooimpatienttowait3moredays

prussian blue 12th August 2012 02:00 PM

I agree with the lacking of great hits by them. I thought the DVD will be full of their PVs but no :cry

and thanks for the feedback guys!

Jester 12th August 2012 04:12 PM

Hmmm I really need the scan of the booklet to see the credit of the song.
:( Oh my, Nakata don't do this to me.

CHE.R.RY 12th August 2012 07:36 PM

^Is that supposed to sound like spending all my time?

Chiharo 12th August 2012 08:02 PM

^What, you can't hear it? Just the opening (the music) is almost completely identical.

~kashifaita~ 13th August 2012 05:05 AM

HURLY BURLY AND POINT LEAKED.

(@#*(*$# Having an eargasm right now. They balance each other out so well and they completely pawn Spending all my time in every level and-.

Ugh sweet jesus.

Delicious n Bold 13th August 2012 08:03 AM

THE SINGLE LEAKED! OMGGGGG *dies*

CoriKaru 13th August 2012 09:31 AM

Oh my gosh "Point" is WAAAAY TOO SHORT.

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c1...1987/RbAUm.gif

And the Chorus only plays twice. Wow. Dropped that ball. Other than that and the mundane verses, I quite like the song and the Music is rather dreamy crazy and RPG Battle Musicy.

The only thing with "Hurly Burly" is that I'm so use to hearing the Music in Low Quality, that it sounds too different in High Quality and loses some of the sounds that I really liked in the Lower Quality. Tends to always happen though.

Even so, this Single is better than anything on their abysmal "JPN".

Well that's why I was asking cuz I could only hear a resemblance in the beginning :).
Guess I should've specified ;).

& omg as soon as I get out of work I need to d/l it! I was thinking 'what? So early!?' But I forgot it's already almost the middle of the month. Geez time flies!

AyuGAME 13th August 2012 01:11 PM

Hurly Burly in HQ feels kinda weird...
the youtube rip version already perfect...
the single version is kinda too busy, lot of new effect...

dreamland2.0 13th August 2012 07:11 PM

This single is perfect once again! They are really on track this year.
All the songs are great but Hurly Burly is probably my favourite.

Polyrhythm 13th August 2012 07:47 PM

Hurly Burly is the greatest thing Perfume has released since....Fushizen na Girl and 575.

Point is pretty and not memorable at all. :shrug

CHE.R.RY 13th August 2012 08:43 PM

I think Point is really average, but it'll probably grow on me though. I agree Hurly Burly seems different in HQ lol. I think I felt the same way about Laser Beam, but that was because I had listened to the LQ over & over. I didn't do that with Hurly Burly, so it's kinda weird. Either way, it's definitely my favorite song from the single.

Delicious n Bold 13th August 2012 09:27 PM

My excitement for the single has died down and I can say that this single is just abysmal. Spring of life is way better.
Spending all my time looses whatever lustre it has after 10 listens.
Point is a drag.
Hurly burly was better as a 3 minute song. 5 minutes is too long. It drags.
I was looking forward to more perfume songs to turn me into a fan. Spring of life nearly converted me. But this single makes me want to listen to ASfXX.

Taishaku 13th August 2012 09:44 PM

Aw well, it's just a matter of personal taste. This has become my favorite single in a long time! :)

LOL. Funny, that's what Hamasaki Ayumi's releases have been to me (and to most of her old-time fanbase it seems) for the past 3 years now :innocent.

I hope Perfume doesn't go that direction for me anytime soon but with a release as flawless as this one, I don't see it happening tbh :shrug

Chiharo 13th August 2012 11:27 PM

I find Spending all my time amazing, but the b-sides are just boring. Hopefully that will change with more listens, but I'm really losing patience with how much they bore me xD.

ll moments ll 14th August 2012 01:07 AM

whoa "Hurly Burly" sounds pretty different in HQ. it's so awesome!!!! it sounds like something from the "GAME" era. :heart

i find "Point" completely underwhelming tho, lol. but overall, great single! :)

adantatu2 14th August 2012 02:06 AM

This single is amazing !!!
Spending all my time is growing on me, Point and Hurly Burly are really good too, they could be a-sides

Zeke. 14th August 2012 05:22 AM

Spending all my time is just boring. The same thing, over. and over. and over. and over... and over.

Point is ok. Nothing I would ever crave to listen to again.

Hurly Burly... I couldn't even finish the song. It was downright embarrassing and annoying.

Where is the creative arrangement that Natural no Koishite and Nee had!? So creative on those two...

~kashifaita~ 14th August 2012 05:25 AM

I agree with the lot of you that Hurly Burly DOES sound a little strange in HQ.
Though, I have a feeling both HB and POINT (perhaps POINT especially) were originally not meant to be full songs.
And that HB was alot shorter before, but Nakata decided to lengthen it. It does tend to drag on after awhile ~.~.

Other than that, I'm very satisfied with this single.
I've even grown a special liking to SAMT after listening to the HQ. All of the instrumentals are simply AMAZING. This single >>>>>>> Spring of Life, definitely.

zellyx 14th August 2012 07:08 AM

I actually absolutely love POINT, as well as SAMT and Hurly Burly in that order. Something about their style is different in these songs... I like it.. it's sort of... cutesy? Not sure, can't put my finger on it!

I know right. Spring of life sounds like nothing after listening to the whole SAMT single. I do agree point sounds a bit plain though, thats the only song i skip

prussian blue 14th August 2012 05:36 PM



This is hilarious

Delicious n Bold 14th August 2012 05:39 PM

I might still snatch Perfume's new Best album when it comes out on iTunes...
It has some good songs, and songs I don't have yet.

prussian blue 14th August 2012 06:07 PM



toki no hari from JPN tour. I love the dance!

I found their voices are less vocodere-d lately, especially songs in JPN, I'm happy that they didnt lip sync MY COLOR during JPN tour, but did they lip sync in toki no hari too? I'm a bit concerned since the song sounds pretty easy to think :P

CHE.R.RY 15th August 2012 01:10 AM

^Can you post thr video of that? Or tell me where to find it...My Color is my favorite song off of JPN.

Idk why but Spending all my time sounds amazing on my iPod...I think I'm in love :love

prussian blue 15th August 2012 02:22 AM



here you go! The youtube user has the whole DVD posted, including the ending credit.

EDIT: is it just me, but I remember I heard more organic voice during MY COLOR from the TV version of JPN tour?!

Chiharo 15th August 2012 11:15 AM

They are just singing (quite lightly) over the original studio version.

prussian blue 15th August 2012 05:14 PM

I think they modified the sound in the DVD version because I remember clearly their voice was pretty loud during MY COLOR and kokoro no sports in TV version.

Jester 15th August 2012 06:03 PM

I hope they'll release full version of Lovefool someday. Damn copyright!

AyuGAME 18th August 2012 03:14 AM

Hurly Burly first tv performance (i think so) on Happy Music


i feel that the performance of Hurly Burly is kinda messy...

the coreography is weird and not special, the song in short version is weird and very repetitive...

Hurly Burly is not good for live performance...

Delicious n Bold 18th August 2012 03:34 AM

^I think this version of Hurly Burly is way better than that 5 minute version.

milky_way 18th August 2012 03:48 AM

I thought the dance was cute.

~Amy~ 18th August 2012 06:43 AM

I think the dance looks better when they aren't holding the microphones. >.<

zellyx 18th August 2012 10:03 AM

I actually really love the dance!

AyuGAME 18th August 2012 05:06 PM

I don't know i just don't feel it..lack of energy and the music is kinda confusing...IMO

Delicious n Bold 18th August 2012 06:26 PM

The single is available on iTunes, but there are no instrumental tracks. That's terrible.

CoriKaru 19th August 2012 01:35 AM

What those microphones do to that choreography is CRIMINAL.

dreamland2.0 19th August 2012 03:39 AM

I loved the performance!

AyuGAME 19th August 2012 12:23 PM

Music Japan


CoriKaru 22nd August 2012 02:51 AM

"575" performance where you can really hear their voices. Stage is cool too.




EDIT:

Just felt like posting this because seeing this live performance has made this song appear so EPIC to me now. See it in a new light. Will have to start rotating this again.

I was happy to be able to download the new single off of iTunes to support them! I really like it!

Awww I like those covers that no one else likes! They remind me of Lite Brite's, but maybe I'm just feeling sentimental because I used to have one when I was a child and played with it all the time... :laugh

kakumei 2nd September 2012 05:39 PM


prussian blue 2nd September 2012 06:44 PM

I just wanted to post it! HAHA kakumei you are always so quick!

I dont know about the PV, it's good, it's nice, it's ordinary. I was expecting something like BUTTERFLY for this kind of songs though, but they look pretty thats for sure

CHE.R.RY 2nd September 2012 06:51 PM

Yeah nothing special but still interesting to see.
