The same for Perfume – Secret Message & Monochrome Effect (live clips). I suppose they will delete my account if I upload more copyrighted videos and the owner claims it. So I’ll try another video hosting if my account is deleted, but at the moment I’m going to keep uploading all new videos I get.

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 =)

Today, Tuesday 13th, the Perfume Official Website updated. The main style has no change. The differeces between before and after are just that all images are now from Electro World new single instead of Computer City. Also the loopy melody that sounds forever and ever is now a cut from the new single.
A new button appeared (Pho-ice). When I read it I thougt it was something about ice (…), but if you click you will notice what Pho-ice means: Photo + Voice.
But it seems we’ll have to wait, there’s only a “coming soon” text in the window.

By the other hand, I’m… er, I’m still working on the updates I mentioned yesterday (It’s studying time).
But I managed to romanize 2 lyrics while I wasn’t studying: Linear Motor Girl & Secret Message. (Go to Lyrics page)

If you visit Tokuma Japan Communications’ Perfume page, you will notice the new single Electro World is the new layout for the page.

Also I added a new gallery in the Visual section: Fanart. Ok, ther’s only a drawing and a photoshoped image, but I hope you send one made by you to this mail, or post it in the forum…
