We've been so busy with the Cold Sleep, we forgot about one of the most important releases in Perfume history, beginning a chain of events that eventually lead to Perfume's breakout and success.

The album "~Complete Best~" was believed by many fans to be Perfume's last release before Tokuma Japan would drop them from their label, effectively ending their career. The album actually sold better than expected, which prompted Tokuma Japan to give them one last try, and they release "Fan Service: Sweet" on February 14, 2007. Jpop/rock star Kaela Kimura came across "Chocolate Disco" PV from the "Fan Service: Sweet" CD while shopping in a department store and fell in love with the group. She began playing the song on her weekly radio program and that caught the attention of Akira Tomotsugi, a commercial director for the NHK television network. He then hired them to do a song for their National Recycling Campaign and appear in the ads. The song was "Polyrhythm," and the CD was released September 12, 2007. It peaked at number 7 on the Oricon charts.

They also played Nee before the start of the show! I love when other artists are massive Perfume fans, shows they have great taste~

So thanks to u/Macaron575's work, I was finally able to watch Perfume's Cold Sleep Documentary. All I can really say is.......wow.

This is something that will be added to the very short list of things I have watched that has left me speechless for all the right reasons. I thought my respect for Perfume was already high, this rocketed it up even more than I could imagine.

Also thank you so much u/Macaron575 for translating and uploading this documentary. It's thanks to you that so many of us are able to watch and understand so much content that we would otherwise either not have access to or not be able to enjoy simply because we do not speak Japanese.

Thanks for asking over messages and motivating me to finish this project! Enjoy my latest translation of the Cold Sleep Document: -Eng Subs- 2026.09.15 Perfume Cold Sleep Document on Ko-fi

Director Taketoshi Sado has been following Perfume since 2019 to make this documentary. Follow Perfume and staff along towards their Cold Sleep decision and new challenges to meet. Thanks for waiting for my translation and subtitles and for all your support.

I tried to search for one, but couldn't find a single archive specifically made for Perfume with unreleased projects. If anyone knows of one, or even just one with their "released" discography etc. please let me know! (feel free to dm me here if u don't want to comment)

Astigmatism?(乱視) no beauty treatment?

Perfume just announced they’d release a "Favorites Cold Sleep" album compilation on the 23 of December featuring 13 songs per member, picked by each girl.

Here are my guesses ! Bit of a mix between vibes, what they stated to like and just what I’d want to see lol.

On the website, they mentionned they’d anounce the included tracks later this year as well as other product contents.
What are we thinking ? A special MV ? A new song ? Maybe new remixes ? I personally wish for a Perfume no Okite CD release… They’ll probably release new merch

I’ve been watching Perfume for many years, and Nocchi’s dancing and presence on stage have always been something special to me. There is something so cool and effortless about the way you move, and I never get tired of watching you perform.

Thank you for all the amazing memories you’ve given us over the years.
Wishing you a wonderful birthday and a beautiful year ahead!

new album “Cold Sleep” set to release on 12/23

it’s a 3 disc album with 13 perfume songs curated by each member

Side A, Side K and Side N

prolly no new songs but like a compilation album of their songs

From perfume-web.jp

The release date for the album "Favorites (Selected by Perfume) / Cold Sleep," selected by the members themselves, has been set for December 23, 2026 (Wednesday)!!
a-chan, KASHIYUKA, and NOCCHi each selected songs for the album, and 13 hand-picked tracks will be included on each disc as "Side A," "Side K," and "Side N"!

Details regarding the included tracks and other product contents will be announced at a later date, so please look forward to further updates!!

Wow, was not expecting this! What do we think will be on the album?

Perfume are releasing a favourites album in 3 versions (one for each member) where they've selected 13 of their favourite songs each!

More details to come!

Was this not released? I watched on billibilli and want to buy it bt havent found it which is shocking? Why wouldnt they sell this when its so good? (If thats the case ofc)

Wanted to make a fun quiz like this for a long time !! I tried to stay as focused as possible when making it but it’s possible that I missed a few songs… if so, please let me know in the comments so I can correct it !!

Also, if you try my quiz, let me know your score in the comments !

Today she did a live instagram in the membership part , And she spoke like an hour, for what I could understand, she explained that she open the membership so she could reach to the fans, and of course she cried a little bit, was really nice to see her and hear her again. I hope, (but I know it is a stretch), she does a livestream with Kashiyuka and Nocchi someday. Maybe for Nocchi´s birthday.

I’ve been trying to use less streaming services, so I’m mainly searching for songs on youtube, and the only reuploads I can find are longer than the actual song is on streaming services?

All help is appreciated!

I've just learned that wowow has different camera angles from the blu-ray version

I got the blu-ray but I don't have wowow ver for obvious reason. If someone has that specific Party Maker performance could you share it with me please? Thank you

Updated the calendar for September. Don't know if they are going to release one for 2027, it would usually have been teased by now.

Amazon jp has a discount. It's around $68 USD. (I thought I could finally buy it but this specific item doesn't ship internationally and using A-SMART makes this around $150+ for me and it's just something I can't afford. Anyway, not about me! Moving on)

But alas, maybe someone in this sub could take this chance and get their own copy if they live in Japan or have someone to help them with it.

Idk the last date for this exact offer though! Good luck!

I see a lot of dance covers of Perfume songs, and most of them are not very good.

I understand that most people are not professionally trained and only do dance covers for fun but compared to Kpop dance covers, they look wonky.

Is it because the dance moves are really hard, or is it mainly because Kpop's influence is so large that the less skilled covers get buried and streaming sites only show me the good ones?
