The other song from the "Tokyo girl" single is avaible in full. It has very visible elements of "Communication" and -in my opinion- "Sweet refrain". It's pretty nice. As for me it will propably be played more often than Tokyo girl but still nothing that special. Generally I have tendency to play in loop their B-sides like "Ijiwaru na Hello" or "Koi wa Zenkei Shisei". They make a really nice background for everyday chores. The same is with this one.

I can't agree. I think Perfume has really hit it out of the park with their recent singles. I think they're more formulaic, but I think songs like Pick Me Up, FLASH, and TOKYO GIRL are a great evolution for them. They're catchy, memorable, and show off what they do best, even if they're more predictable (which I blame Nakata for).

Oricon day 1: #2 with 29,928. #1 was HKT48 (as expected, unfortunately; 186,242).

Spoiler:
Interestingly, this is higher than SCANDAL's (14,638) and Leo Ieiri's (11,284) best album numbers COMBINED (25,922) (although, again, that's album, and Perfume's releasing a single)...


Since I'll be busy getting ready for an exam on Friday, can anybody take care for day 2 and 3 at least?

UPDATE 2/17:
Day 2: down to #3, 8,236 (HKT48: 9,632)
Day 3: still #3, 3,683 (HKT48: 4,908)

UPDATE 2/21: Why hasn't anybody bother to update?

Day 4: still #3 (2,403)
Day 5: down to #4
Day 6: down to #5

Next post is the weekly numbers...

Sorry for double posting, but since no one bother to update the sales numbers, I've decided to post it.

Perfume: #2 on Oricon for the weekly sales, with 49,032. (HKT48 was #1 with 210,070.)

Cosmic Explorer dome edition is out, waiting for some friendly links although after watching the TV version I'm pretty sure it still will remain their weakest live, enjoyable nevertheless I have no doubt
EDIT:
ok watched the show, both dome and standing edition (some shots more from audience perspective and it's from arena leg of the tour). I find the arena part of the tour much better. Found this english version of Baby Face from the American leg's digest:

adorable ^^
On youtube there are also Perfume no okite and Handy Man.

Sorry for double post but wanted to refresh the thread with new cm for some bubble washing machine (lol). The song itself seems really refereshing and catchy! Maybe it's going to be a part of new single that was announced for the fall.

I like the new song
I though what they promote, and I got blank face when the washer comes out.

"Everyday" is sooo cute! Hoping it'll be included in a new single, soon.

Hmmm, it kind of sounds like Baby Face to me, but I think that's just cause they're both tropical house. Anyways, I do like it! The beginning sounds epic. It whole song is giving me SAMT vibes.

That's very casual title, both actually. They should make one song from both "If you wanna , you make me happy every day, if you don't wanna, we make a party every day". I really like what I heard in the Panasonic cm so I can't wait to hear the whole thing

I used to really love Perfume's sound but nowadays it seems so generic and al of the same I think Nakata just went into a formula in how to produce their songs. Everyday sounds like FLASH that sounds like STAR TRAIN that sounds like Sweet Refrain.

^ Yeah you have some right, though I think Everyday has a bit of refreshing sound, just not that much refreshing. I miss experimental sounds like Polyrhythm, a bit of hard to predict while listening. But it's not just Perfume that Nakata found his formula, Kyary suffers the same thing.
