I really like that they are becoming mature but without losing their essence, that is keeping updated with the current and future trends. I don't think their audience's expectations is far from what Perfume delivers. Nakata is always trying to do something new (sometimes more of the same tho) but their aesthetics, looks and projects are always a surprise and I think that's what we expect from Perfume.

I really liked the music video. The A~chan shots are incredible.

There is already a full video here:

Kind of boring but the picturesque scenery and great shots make up for it.

I guess here in the US people expect Perfume to be very "kawaii" and they are slowly moving away from that, which I personally don't mind. I think it will give Perfume a refresh.

Oh really? You guys expect the "kawaii vibe" similar to Kyary? I didn't expect that because, for me, they have never been kawaii after their major debut. haha

When Perfume started to gain popularity here with Game and Triangle, it was seen as cute because of the girly auto tune vocals, the dancing, and the upbeat electro sound. But then Kyary set the new standard for kawaii.

I took the chance to listen to Mugen Mirai since their music is on Spotify and omfg I am in LOVE!! Yasutaka Nakata’s EDM isnt bad at all! I love that it’s uplifting yet quite melancholy at the same time. Definitely going to keep a closer eye on them from here on out (last time I listened to them was Triangle).

Oh boy, you've been missing out then. Songs like STAR TRAIN, FLASH, and TOKYO GIRL are very similar to Mugenmirai. Just super catchy, clearly well-produced tracks. I love this direction they've taken, and I really want all of this translate cleanly into the next album... no album remixes for these single tracks please! The original versions are the work of art. Maybe save those album remixes for a remix CD... which is way too overdue for these girls.

Do you want even more Fusion pedronekoi?
Today there was a live stream "Reframe" with a great (i would say even hypnotizing) performance of Fusion. There was also Negai and Mugen Mirai. Negai was quite boring considering the whole "upload your picture we will use it during the performance" promotion. They just projected pictures that dissolved into particles that flew into the platform girls were standing. Mugen Mirai had some weird camera shaking at the beginning but if it wasn't for that I think it must look great with a stable view. The whole performance of the song is nice too. Here:

I also really love this single!
Too bad the single isn't doing too good.
The drop in physical sales is quite small, but it's also not doing good digitally for them, only being at about 20k after two weeks.
If you wanna wasn't certified as well, but it did a bit better. FLASH before got Platinum and TOKYO GIRL Gold.

I just found out that Perfume's GAME was featured in the 33⅓ Japan series! See here, for example. The book was written by Patrick St. Michel, who's a pretty great J-pop writer, so that makes me extra curious. I might drop some dollars on this sometime in the future.

After a few listen, the song grow with me so fast, I'm quite surprise myself either

Yasutaka Nakata did a really good job with Perfume, as their music sounds much more mature without losing any cute-ness from them. I like how the song sounds dreamy and positive at the same time.

One thing bother me slightly is the structure or the vibes has something in common in the recent songs ie "let me know" and "mugen mirai", I just wish there will be more adult-heavy-dub-techno-electro-ish songs like FUSION will appear on the next album.
