The English site mirrors the Japanese site, and will hopefully provide English speaking fans, in addition to other international fans with up to the minute news involving Perfume.

Elsewhere, beginning June 29th, “Kasuka na Kaori” will be involved in a new advertising campaign with Kirin to help sell their low alcohol and low calorie chu-hi drink (you must be 21, or your country’s legal drinking age to visit the link). It will be the third ad campaign with Kirin, which had previously used “Laser Beam” for its chu-hi promotion.

Below is the 15 second commercial that will launch on June 29th.

Once hosted on Amuse’s server has now switched over to their own web server: http://www.perfume-web.jp/

Probably because of the recent server downtime Amuse experienced, a flurry of Perfume fans gave them beef about their lack of Perfume for the several days it occurred, but now it should not be happening again.

Several changes include a brand new layout, from the previous starry night/matrix black to clean-cut white (and no more cheesy flash intro). The “REPORT BLOG” is changed to “MANAGER BLOG”. Their PTA fanclub also got a makeover, but of course only members can see the changes.

We’ll miss the funky old site, but the new one is easier to read and more professional-looking. Please support Perfume with their new website!

The rest of the tracks on the album (7) -including “night flight” that was recently promoted along a new TV and web commercial with Pino- are brand new tracks:

· Take Off. Overlapped synth arpeggio and breakbeats, introduction to the album.
· NIGHT FLIGHT. 80′s techno-pop style song, high tempo (145BPM) and 8bit sounds.
· Kiss and Music. Funk-groove songs about erotic/love songs but the mood of this song has an opposite mood using a moog‘s arpeggio, and the vocals are inorganic, mixing it up in a kitsch tune.
· Zero Gravity. Jazzy electro piano, bossa mood song.
· I still love U. 80′s new music love song. An impressive melody line.
· The best thing. House love song that begins with a synth arpeggio solo. Nakata Yasutaka’s stylemark.
· Speed of Sound. Percussive, latin-house beat basis, jazzy club track. Vocals are only words.
