Perfume’s promotion video for their seventh single love the world started broadcasting on TV yesterday morning.
Perfume also appeared on Fuji TV’s Hey!Hey!Hey! to promote the new song, performing a perfect syncro dance routine plus a talk that includes a surprise to A~Chan.

Copyright issues…

…again. This time it’s about Veoh, the account where I used to upload Perfume videos.
When I uploaded Love the world PV, this message was instantly sent to my email inbox:

Of course this is the same that happened to my account at Youtube, I got an email first, then in a couple of weeks my account was disabled. I understand that Tokuma Japan Communications and JASRAC are veiling for Japanese artists like Perfume, helping them to raise their sales and incomes.

BUT they still don’t seem to get that, hey, people like us who upload recorded videos from TV to the Internet via sites like YouTube or Veoh are actually helping our groups. I’m sure that dozens, if not hundreds, of people around the world discovered Perfume by chance in a random J-whatever website.
And then they became fans, who actually most of them buy their music online. Is that an example of how useful is the free promotion around the internet? And yes, that includes allowing uploads of videos and music if that helps the artist became more popular.

So, people from Tokuma Japan Comm., listen, we will find ways to share videos and music of Perfume, Internet is the only way for us to stay updated about it, and that helps Perfume a lot.
