Perfume new song「レーザービーム」"Laser Beam"

2011-02-03T20:18:00.000-05:00

Perfume has announced that their new song will be titled "Laser Beam".
Other than the short CM clip of the song, no other announcements reguarding the song have been made, which, is an unsual thing for Perfume's management to do. Hopefully we will have a 30sec preview, or a preview with the girl's actually dancing, soon. And maybe a new album announcement after that?

The waiting game has begun again!!

After the CM was deleted off of youtube countless times, I finally managed to find a copy that isn't being deleted. Enjoy!

Perfume's next single's date is unveiled

2010-06-13T17:20:00.002-04:00

It has been four months since Perfume released "Fushizen na Girl / Natural ni Koishite" and now Perfume has just announced that they will be releasing their next single on August 11th.

It has still yet to be said as to whether the song they covered for the Pepsi Nex commercial, 'Lovefool', will ever be released. But we can only hope that it will be included on the next album, or as some sort of digital release in the future.

Also, if you wanted a ringtone of the Perfume Pepsi Nex song, the Official Pepsi Nex site will be offering it starting on June 18th for download. It is yet to be said if you have to pay for it though... I just make my own ringtones on Audacity. xD

It has just been announced that Perfume will be in the new Pepsi Nex commercial. They will be doing a cover of 'Lovefool' by The Cardigans; and, as always, Nakata will be producing the song and Mikiko will be doing their choreography. I've also placed a video of Lovefool at the bottom of the page so you can hear what the original sounds like before the CM is released on June 12th, that's this Saturday! So keep on the lookout for it! :D

Perfume will perform at Tokyo Dome on their 10th Anniversary!

2010-06-07T14:05:00.002-04:00

(Article from: perfume.ekuseru.net)

On November 3, Perfume will hold their first concert at the Tokyo Dome. They will become just the second technopop unit (after YMO) and second female idol group (after SPEED) to have a concert at that venue.

The concert will be titled “1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11,” in reference to the three members preparing for their 11th year together as a group. Perfume has come a long way since their indie days. After teaming up with producer Yasutaka Nakata (of capsule) in 2003, they finally made their major label debut in 2005. In 2008, they achieved #1 on both the single and album sales charts, and they performed back-to-back shows at Nippon Budokan. Now, they will perform for a crowd of about 50,000 fans at their Tokyo Dome concert.

As many of you may or may not know, yesterday Perfume released their new Double A-Side single, Fushizen na Girl/ Natural ni Koishite! If you haven't heard the new songs yet, you should, they're awesome!

I pre-ordered my Limited Edition copy of the single and I'll be receiving it on Saturday! I can't wait!

More news is on the way tomorrow....

I can has logic?

2010-04-07T13:59:00.002-04:00

So it's 85 degrees outside, I just had math class, and I feel as if I'm DONE with the day.... And yet, I find myself in speech class.

I've already given my speech, so I really don't have any reason to be here other than class participation. I really don't want to be here, I want to be OUTSIIIIDE!!!

I really shouldn't be such a good kid.

FML.

WHAT TIME IS IT!?

2010-04-06T21:33:00.004-04:00

ADVENTURE TIME!!

That's right, as many of you may know, the new show, Adventure Time, premiered on Cartoon Network last night, and it was AWESOME! The art style reminds me of Super Jail on adultswim and the comedy is that of Invader Zim, which I think is a perfect combination. Last night one of my friends threw a premier party for it, and a bunch of us came over and counted down 'till the show came on. We also watched a movie about Dungeons and Dragons, not really my thing, but it was really funny. So, it ended up being a night of comedy.

I also ended up giving my speech yesterday, for which I had forgotten I needed a visual aid for, so i whipped one up in 5 minutes. Powerpoint FTW! I think I did really well on the presentation/ speech, even though I was nervous as hell...

Today has been kinda uneventful, seeing as I had the day off today. I played some Mario Kart Wii and Fatal Frame 4 and cooked a delicious pot roast. Its just a lazy chore day I guess.

Also, one of my friends invited me to go to New York with her this weekend. We're going to Nintendo World!! I can't wait!! xD

April: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

2010-04-05T08:51:00.003-04:00

It seems that everyone I talk to about April says the same exact thing to me, they are swamped with work this month, myself included. I don't know why, but it seems that right after midterms the teachers all realize that they haven't given us nearly enough work already, and thus have all decided to assign everyone projects and tests... and all the dates are in April. FML.

Though, April won't be all that bad. My favorite band is releasing a new single in a few weeks, and at the end of the month is my birthday! I'm really looking forward to those; it's what keeps me going. :D

Today however, I am finishing typing an outline for a speech that is due at the end of the day today. I will be giving a persuasive speech on why we need moar bilingual education programs in schools.

Wish me luck!

FIRST!
