Perfume released the PV for their latest single on air just a day or two ago, and rips of the video are up on the internet.

Due to constant monitoring of youtube/other streaming video sites, I’ll only post links to direct downloads and torrents:

Can’t wait for the single to be released!

Tomorrow I’ll take a flight to Tokyo with a friend.
I’ll see Perfume at the Budoukan on Nov 6th among other things and I can’t be happier than I am now.

I’ll try to write a good report when I’m back!

A new song by Perfume after the high success of Love the world! Dream Fighter is in my opinion more of a Pop song than an Electro one. Less use of the vocoder than previous releases and extended vocals.

This is a good electropop / technopop song, but not one of Perfume’s hardest songs.
