OneRoom Disco

OneRoom Disco

Thanks to everyone who participated in the poll! Here are the complete results of each song:

OneRoom Disco = 114 (24%)
NIGHT FLIGHT = 94 (20%)
edge (⊿-Mix) = 73 (15%)
The best thing = 68 (14%)
I still love u = 59 (13%)
23:30 = 18 (4%)
Kiss and Music = 16 (4%)
Zero Gravity = 14 (3%)
Negai (Album-mix) = 11 (2%)
Take off = 3 (0.6%)
Speed of Sound = 2 (0.4%)

What do you think? Did the results surprise you? As the sole new single Perfume released in 2009, I think OneRoom Disco was a worthy choice for the #1 spot this year; it didn’t top Oricon for nothing after all. The highly stylistic and catchy NIGHT FLIGHT is also a good candidate in the top 3, and personally my favorite track in the Triangle album. The original edge already made the  love the world single seem like a double a-side and broke a zenith of records when it released in 2008, as yet the edge (⊿-Mix) just added on as one of Yasutaka’s best and most badass creations for Perfume to date.

I’ll wrap up 2009 in the next blog post. Sit tight and stay tuned!
