Soooo that PV, to me, seemed like a farewell thing... I do kinda get the feeling that Perfume will be retiring soon.

A~chan said, at the end of the broadcasted 3:5:6:9 concert, something like they're really glad that they were able to celebrate 15 anniversaries already that they would like to also celebrate their 20th (and then she got silly and said 60th or smth lol) and then a fan screamed MADA MADA and a~chan was like: mada mada and the other 2 nodded. Judging from that alone I don't think they will retire soon. But 15 years is quite an impressive number so giving a big thank you at this point seems appropriate.

All the songs are out
Star Train has grown on me
It's 7.5/10
Tokimeki lights is forgetable. 4/10. I do appreciate the space harrier verses though. The song really blurs the line between perfume and kyary.
The situation with imitation world made me lose a lot of respect I had for Nakata. According to perfume city, there was an original lyricist and she hasn't been credited for the song. What kind of Beyonce if I were a boy tea.

Unlike Level 3, which I really wanted, the new album doesn't really entice me. I have hardly been impressed by the songs at all and the only single I wholeheartedly liked was Cling Cling and that was because I picked it up and subsequently listened to all 4 tracks over and over in Japan (so it's a nostalgia thing). I even have nostalgia for the reductive and basic Hold Your Hand. Maybe if it were a b-side album it would be better. Koi wa zenkei shisei > sweet refrain.

Wow first day sales: 41'516 I hope this single will be a bit more stable in terms of sales than RITC/PMU. I like tokimeki lights and imitation world, not my fave thing ever but not bad either.

Perfume has pretty stiff competition, as always in recent times, this time though it's Nogizaka46 (and a bit of C-ute, though dropped below Perfume on day #2). Going to be interesting if Perfume can get #2 over C-ute as the week goes on...

Global compilation "love the world" rose to #1 on the japanese itunes album charts yesterday (currently #2) and all other albums have re-entered the chart as well. Apparently after yesterday's broadcast of a show about their career so many people visited the official website that it crashed. Amazing how much one broadcast can do. Also STAR TRAIN is at #2 in the song chart.
Edit: Big boost on recochoku too, Dream Fighter, Chocolate disco & Polyrhythm re-entered the song chart top 50 + Star train went up and is also #1 in the album chart. Also Global compilation at #4 and Level3 and GAME re-entered the chart. Sorry I'm just really excited about this I've never seen anything like this before

Ugh. Perfume got #4. (>_<) Very stiff competition, other than Nogizaka46 (you know who)...

I'm surprised how ℃-ute is doing really well among non-Nogizaka46! And who's Mu's? Something anime?

The rank really doesn't matter, what matters is the sales and they are higher than Sweet Refrain and RITC/PMU and very close to Magic Of Love, also #10 on recochoku weekly which is a lot better than a lot of their previous singles and #4 on the album chart of recochoku and probably even top 5 in itunes weekly. I'm happy about how the first week went

I came back into Perfume due to Star Train single and got totally addicted to tours. Downloaded their 3rd World Tour and it was soooo CUTE! Moments when they talk to audience, partially in english...such an adorable experience. Bagel-just perfect! Ending was very nice too, "We share the same music, same passion". I think it's the only group i can forgive constant playback xD Also i liked this 3rd World Tour much better than her bigger hall tours like Dome.

Finally a new album. can't believe they did 2 tours without a new album release lol I'm still looking forward to FLASH most. STORY is too mainstream imo it sounds like something from WAVE RUNNER that didn't actually end up on there so he gave it to perfume

"COSMIC EXPLORER" is such an amazing album title! Love the promo pic & tracklist, as well! I already totally can't wait for April, now. (and to finally hear "FLASH" in full )
