“Uncertain Future”

Jan 27, 2008 Author: ekuseru | Filed under: A-Chan

Why did you decided to go to university?

A-chan: At the time (autumn 2006) our future were unsure. Anytime we might be told to go back to our hometown Hiroshima.
We were on the cliff. We didn’t think we could continue our carrier as singer ,so we decided to go. Our manager also recommended us ,saying ‘It is difficult for me to tell your future…’.

Lucky Numbers

Maybe you’re one of the 50 lucky persons who obtained a random signed copy of the single, but these three numbers will receive a special *omg* Perfume’s visit at their house:

In cases like this I think I should belong to Japan.

Prima Box Cover

Jan 9, 2008 Author: ekuseru | Filed under: News, Pics

New pictures from Fan Service ~Prima Box~ at Amuse’s 30th Anniversary site:

Box

DVD

Well they look quite simple and I still don’t understand the box’s design. Has it a special print that makes it different in the picture but really nice if you have it in your hands? Just like Fan Service Bitter (limited edition) that looks like it has a gray cover but actually is a big and shiny photo booket…

Even so we’ll have to wait and see how it is and if the indies singles have the same cover or are modified in some way. Also we still don’t know the cover art for FS Bitter (normal edition).

Perfume Mini City

Available
in English, French and Spanish, I’ve found a site perfume.myminicity.com by MiMiniCity.com where you can create your own city, name it and make it grow sharing the link.

It seems it doesn’t have any feature that you can customize, it’s just a social game, and if people click on these links will improve city’s industry, transport and security.
