Perfume becomes first Japanese artist invited to prestigious creativity festival

"Cannes Lions has been Inspiring Creativity for 60 years. It is the world’s greatest celebration of creative communications in all its forms.

Perfume got an invitation to attend “The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity”. This festival is world’s No.1 creative award and is known as the world cup of advertisement and communication! Perfume is the very first Japanese artist to be invited to this festival!

Congrates to Perfume, but I don't get why they are invited... I mean, they just sing the songs their producer gives them and their vocals are so heavily autotuned that it wouldn't matter if any other girl would sing instead. So maybe they should invite the producer...

interesting. congrats.

I'm sure he'll be there.

I think it makes a little sense...I mean, if they had all of Nakata's productions to choose from, Perfume is the most prolific.

Congratulations!!! But I'm also quite surprised...

I think this article can give more insight as to why they're going for the Cannes Lions - the biggest advertising festival ever (it's kind of a dream of mine to be part of it some day :laugh)

They are basically comparing the girls to products being cleverly advertised...

Makes sense.

Hahaha, it's almost an insult for them to be invited. It is true though, those women are EXTREMELY well-marketed, heck, if their music was better I'd be a complete stan. They're so stylish and their performances are very captivating.
