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”:

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.
