Perfume x Lovefool – Pepsi NEX commercial (updated)

Pepsi NEX‘s next commercial will be now promoted by three new artists and groups: THE CRO-MAGNONS, Pornograffitti and Perfume. Each of them covering three famous western hits, “Blitzkrieg Bop” by RAMONES, “Get it on” by T-REX and “Lovefool” by THE CARDIGANS, respectively. Previous artists promoting the drink were Kobukuro, L’Arc-en-Ciel and Koda Kumi.

Perfume’s “Lovefool” is a cover by our beloved Nakata Yasutaka and the choreography for the 15″ commercial is also from the well known MIKIKO.

CM will be aired nationwide on June 12.

Perfume Appears on American Television!

Well sort of, but any reference to Perfume is groundbreaking! Perfume’s 4th indies single Monochrome Effect played in the background of a scene in the FOX American cartoon American Dad (from the creators of Family Guy), where the music was referred to as “Japanese funk” that “everyone loves it in the future”. Hilarious!

You can view the video clip here (hopefully it stays up long enough):
