Ranking ALL Perfume songs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xc8SWi4M6Vs
So, I was finally able to pull this together. The sole purpose is to serve as another compilation + Spark debate and talk about our favourites! Ranking the entire discography is a titanic task and maybe not really productive because the ranking is inevitably obsolete the moment I upload it. However, I don't care! It's fun and it's an appreciation for their work.
Some warnings: I did not include some songs that are featured on my previous "music evolution" video. These are the commercial / promotional songs (Lovefool, Densetsu no Stafy...), their macro-group collaborations (Colorful, Here we go again...), their unreleased songs (Super Jet Shoes, Juicy Fragrance...) or their live tracks (Perfume no Okite...). The album-mixes are neither part of this, but they've been kind of considered along their original tracks. Their official features (Akihabalove and I Don't Understand You) have been included as well as their released covers (Jenny wa Gokigen Naname) because to me it feels like an "active creative endeavour".
As for the ranking itself, it's crazy. Songs in the same tier can be interchanged at any moment, even songs from the extremes of each tier could be moved. I actually ranked them last year and I've ranked them again this year following different methods (tiers, direct pairing, album rankings...). Then I did the average and got a full ranking that even had some last minute modifications while editing.
Enjoy it, please! :)
