Album sales & Perfume music preferences

Aug 25, 2006 Author: ekuseru | Filed under: A-Chan, Internet, Kashiyuka, Nocchi

Third week since the debut album ~Complete Best~ was released, and the number of copies sold until now are 5,868 (#245 on charts). Not a bad number of copies sold.

Will be this number enough for TJC? I don’t know if they have to sell a specific number of copies to get the target TJC wants to get Perfume continuity in the major label market, but I belive and I hope that about 6,000 copies sold in three weeks for a barely known group as Perfume are enough to encourage their label and their producer, Yasutaka Nakata-san to go ahead with Perfume’s music career.

-> I’ve Youtubed 3 new lives from the Aiai Music Carnival Vol.8: Computer City, Electro World and Computer Driving. –go to Video page.

By the other hand, I’ve romanized a table based on Aerodynamik’s blog one. There was a radio show that was aired from 2004.5.3 to 2004.12.27 called “Perfume Planet”, where every week two members chose a song by an artist they like, in a section called “Pafyumushikku”/”Perfumusic”:

Kashiyuka	Nocchi	A-chan
BUMP OF CHICKEN / Dandelion	Taishou Kyuunen / cubic	Otsuka Ai / Sakuranbo
ORANGE RANGE / Japanese People	B2K / Bump That	aiko / A no ko he
Crystal Kay / Motherland	Kinmokusei to Tokyo JENNU / Futari no Murasaki Tokyo	Hirahara Ayaka / Jupiter
Sukima Switch / Sou	Taiyo Zoku / Romeo to Julieta	Hirai Ken / Hitomi wo tojite
capsule / GO! GO! Fine Day	m-flo loves melody & yamamoto / miss you	Kawashima Ai / Tenshitachi no melody
N.E.R.D. / She Wants To Move	Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra / Sekai Chizu	Mr.Children / Sign
Kevin Lyttle / Turn Me On	nobodyknows+ / Kokoro Odoru	Tommy heavenly6 / Hey my friend
Plus-Tech Squeeze Box / starship.6	BOYSTYLE / Hanasaku Okahe	TiA / Every time
SHAKALABBITS / Hoshibora no kade	Senri Oe / Natsu no kesshin	Onitsuka Chihiro / Riyuuseigun
Crystal Kay / Eternal Memories	Tommy february6 / L･O･V･E･L･Y~Yumemiru LOVELY BOY~	aiko / Hanabi
BUMP OF CHICKEN / Suimin Jikan	RIP SLYME / GALAXY	Shimatani Hitomi / Jewel of Kiss

REMIOROMEN / 3月9日	Makihara Noriyuki / Boku Ga Ichiban Hoshikatta Mono	Utada Hikaru / In My Room
Full Of Harmony / Rhythm	Perfume / Inryoku	Shibasaki Kou / Katachi Arumono
BoA / QUINCY	SOFFet / Kimi ga iru kara	Buzy / Kujira
ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION / Kimi no machi made	PE?Z / Hanasaku DONBLA GO!	hiro / Hikari no naka de
ORANGE RANGE / Hana	PE?Z / SAMBA DE Koishite	Gorie with Jasmine & Joann / Mickey
POSCOIZM / Onna no ko no kimoi	HALCALI / BABY BLUE	BOYSTYLE / Tomorrow ~Kaze no Michishirube~
DREAMS COME TRUE / Love Letter	Porno Graffiti / Sister	Chisato Moritaka / Watarase Bashi
BUMP OF CHICKEN / Holiday	BENNIE K / Sunrise	Angelina / Sounds of Love
Dreaming / ANPANMAN no MARCH	HOT FUN IN THE FUNNY FACE / Forever Young	浜田雅功と槇原敬之 / Makinraisu
Candy / Bye & Thanks	Full Of Harmony / JOY	Yuming / Koibito ga Santa Claus
Perfume / Inryoku	SOFFet / Itsuka no Yuki no hi	Mariah Carey / All I want for Christmas is you
	Perfume / Monochrome Effect

I must say that although my favourite member is Nocchi, I don’t like most of her music selection. I know and like every A-chan’s music, but Kashiyuka’s techno/shibuya-kei songs like “starship.6″ by Plus-Tech Squeeze Box or “GO! GO! Fine Day” by capsule are just awsome =)

4th Single rumor: Imitation World

Aug 20, 2006 Author: ekuseru | Filed under: Rumors

Some japanese blogs and BBS are spreading the 4th single tracklist and release date rumor. The tracklist for the single would be:

01- Imitation World (イミテーションワールド)
02- Counter Attraction (カウンターアトラクション)

And the release date would be at “early winter”. November would be the most probabily month to the release due to, as most of japanese artists decide to release their X’mas songs about one or tho months before x’mas. And [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOEGgrq31lQ]Counter Attraction[/url]’s a x’mas song =) (showed a year before as a special promotion for Computer City)

The tracks titles are songs that Perfume has played sometimes at their live events, so if the info is correct, we will have a new single but no brand-new songs.

As I said, it’s just rumors, it’s still not official.
Maybe a fake? Time will tell.
