Hiroshima, Japan (2001 – present)

Perfume is a three person / group from Hiroshima who debuted locally in 2001 and nationally in 2005. In 2001, three 11-12 year old girls from an Artist School formed a group together in their hometown of Hiroshima. In 2002, they released two limited edition singles only in Hiroshima, called “OMAJINAI★ペロリ” and “彼氏募集中”. All three members moved to Tokyo in 2003 and became produced by 中田ヤスタカ. Between the years of 2003 and 2004, they produced “スウィートドーナッツ”, “モノクロームエフェクト”, and “ビタミンドロップ” under the indie label Bee-Hive Records. During that time, they performed to a one-man live three times. Because the girls were so energetic, fans acquired an appreciation for them.

It wasn’t until 2007 that Perfume gained attention, when their single “ポリリズム(Polyrhythm)” became the theme song for a nationwide recycling campaign. The day of its release, it hit number #4 on the Oricon charts and #7 for the weekly ranking, making this the first time Perfume reached the top 10. Almost overnight the group became a success, and to date they have sold nearly 60,000 copies of “ポリリズム”.

After that, they were invited to several shows and radio programs. On December 31st, 2007, Perfume performed in a concert titled “Countdown 2008”. This was by far the biggest performance in the history of the group.

    "I need a new single..."spring of life" is too long ago" <-- uh, what? Spring of Life was like two months ago. The last thing we need is for them to start churning out a ton of songs that lack quality. I'd rather they take time and put out good stuff like SoL, personally.

    I think that was their best concert ever, even though it was missing wonder2.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYnMpMyNoUw&feature=share The performance for Needle of Time was amazing, even though I feet like they pretty much focused on A-Chan when they were doing the robotic moves when they were not singing.
