Explore this Perfume Art Gallery I’ve found via munekata (twitter).

Perfume Piano and Guitar scores

I’ve been wanting to leave a record about the “Perfume Piano score book” and the Guitar tabs book “Perfume Songbook“.
Check out the Perfume Other releases updated page to know more about these piano and guitar books.

morawin.jp Budoukan special content

Music download website morawin just opened a special page for Perfume’s greatest live to date: BUDOUKaaaaaaaaaaN!!!!!

Although what you’ll find is a live report in Japanese and some photos, the point is what they have a special present for those who suscribe to their music online store (only Japan, again).

But don’t worry, you’re not missing out a precious and special Perfume good. What they’re giving as a present if you’re lucky enough to suscribe to morawin and win the raffle is this:

What’s that? A magazine holder?
Ah excuse me, that’s not a magazine holder, that’s a super cool and fashion Magazine Holder Perfume Dream Fighter™ limited edition.
(I’m sorry about the sarcasm but I can’t help it. I hate that kind of fake merchandising with printed logos.)

But if you are still in the need-of-Perfume-stuff-even-though-it’s-just-a-piece-of-junk (sorry again), you can bid for it in Yahoo Japan Auctions from a starting price as low as ¥3,000.
Go for it. 3 days left.

Perfume Portfolio release

Posted on December 17, 2008 by ekuseru

Perfume’s first photobook “Perfume Portfolio” is out today! Even though they previously released a photobook included in first live DVD Fan Service Bitter, this one is the first real photobook including full color new pictures in a hard cover book.

In my opinion this is a perfect choice for those who love the girls (who doasn’t here?) but even though some people will disagree with this I think many of us were expecting more of the “near future techno-pop unit” side of Perfume. You know, dark backgrounds, blue lights, helmets, electric things and that stuff…

But still this is a beatiful compilation of the essence of the girls captured by the photographer and also artwork director of most of the promotion videos and jackets, Kazuaki Seki.
