Perfume (パフューム) is a Japanese girl group from Hiroshima, Japan, consisting of Ayano Ōmoto, Yuka Kashino, and Ayaka Nishiwaki. They debuted locally in 2001 and made their transition to a major label in 2005, focusing more on electropop. As of January 2012, the group has released fourteen major label singles on the Tokuma Japan Communications label.[2]

Since 2003, Perfume has been produced by Yasutaka Nakata, founder of the group Capsule and the Contemode label.[3] The group's original post-Shibuya-kei sound made a sharp transition to electronic, dance and pop music taking on Auto-Tune, vocoders, and electrohouse upon their signing to a major label in 2005.[4]

History

2000-2003: Early years/local debut

In 2000, Ayaka Nishiwaki("Aa-CHAN"), Yuka Kashino ("KASHIYUKA"), and Yuuka Kawashima ("Kawayuka") formed the group. Because all three members had the Japanese character (香)for fragrance in their names , they named the group Perfume. However, before the group could even debut, Kawashima decided to pull out of the project and pursue her studies.[citation needed] Nishiwaki set out to find a replacement, and Ayano Omoto ("NOCCHi") joined as the third member. The three girls attended the Actors School in Hiroshima, as part of the inaugural class of 1999.

In March 2002, Perfume debuted in Hiroshima with the single "Omajinai Perori". They followed up the release with "Kareshi Boshūchū" in November of that same year. Both singles were only sold in Hiroshima under Momiji Label. Around this time they also met Mikiko, a choreographer who would go on to coordinate all of the group's dances from this point forward.

2003-2005: Bee-Hive/indies era

In 2003, following their graduation from the Actors School in Hiroshima, the trio moved to Tokyo. There, they became a part of Bee-Hive, a project that Buzy and Boystyle also belonged to, and signed with the management office Amuse, Inc..[5] In Tokyo, they also met capsule's Yasutaka Nakata who would become their main producer. Between the years of 2003 and 2004, they released "Sweet Donuts", "Monochrome Effect", and "Vitamin Drop" under the indie record label Bee-Hive Records. It was also during this time that they had their first three live performances. Though none of their releases became a hit, their management office made the choice to give Perfume a major debut.[6]

Akihabalove

From 2004 autumn to 2005 summer, Perfume temporarily set Akihabara as their home ground. They participated in a project tiled Akihabalove featuring Perfume x DJ Momo-i a.k.a. Haruko Momoi, a female voice actor.[7] The song was released on a DVD along with the promotional video. They sometimes held surprise live street performances there,[8] and they used to be considered as "Akiba-kei idols" till the hit of Game.[9]

2005-2007: Major label debut

On September 21, 2005, Perfume made its major label debut under the label Tokuma Japan Communications. They released "Linear Motor Girl", which charted on the Oricon charts at number 99. Two singles, "Computer City" and "Electro World", followed in 2006.

On August 2, 2006, Perfume released Perfume: Complete Best along with a new track, "Perfect Star, Perfect Style" (パーフェクトスター・パーフェクトスタイル). The album reached number 33 on the Oricon charts (later climbing up as high as number 25 with the release of Perfume's second album, Game).

On December 20, 2006, Perfume released a download exclusive song, "Twinkle Snow Powdery Snow". The song later appeared on their single, "Fan Service: sweet". On December 21, 2006, Perfume had a live concert held at Harajuku Astro Hall which was later recorded and released as "Fan Service: bitter".

2007-2008: Commercial success and Game era

While almost all of the other Bee-Hive members began to get dropped by Amuse, Inc., Perfume was given the opportunity to release another single. In February 2007, they released "Fan Service: Sweet" featuring the fun dance track "Chocolate Disco". This was a turning point for Perfume in which their luck began to change. Although the sales for "Fan Service: sweet" were not stellar, "Chocolate Disco" did catch the attention of an already well-established artist in the J-pop industry, Kimura Kaela. Kimura then played Perfume's music on her radio show consistently.[10] While listening to Kimura's radio show, a commercial director named Akira Tomotsugi noticed Perfume and decided to use the three girls in an upcoming TV ad.[11] On July 1, 2007, the commercial for NHK's national recycling campaigned aired, featuring Perfume and a new song, "Polyrhythm". The commercial gave Perfume exposure they could have only dreamed of before. Subsequently, their next live show sold out, and Perfume became the first idol group to perform at the Summer Sonic music festival.[12][13] On September 12, 2007, Perfume released their tenth single, "Polyrhythm". It reached number 4 on the Oricon daily single charts and climbed as high as number 7 on the weekly charts.[14] This is noted as the beginning of Perfume's national fame.

In 2008, the group followed up the success of "Polyrhythm" with "Baby Cruising Love/Macaroni."[citation needed] The single reached number 3 on the Oricon weekly charts and sold 50,000 copies. On April 16, 2008, Perfume released their first original album, Game. Game reached number 1 on the Oricon charts upon its release,[14] making Perfume the first technopop group to achieve this since Yellow Magic Orchestra's Naughty Boys in 1983.[15] At the time of the album's release, Perfume ~Complete Best~, "Polyrhythm", and "Baby Cruising Love/Macaroni" all re-entered the Oricon charts.[citation needed] The album went on to sell over 450,000 copies and is certified double platinum.

After the album's release, Perfume First Tour "Game" was announced. The group toured 10 cities and sold out all tickets.[16] On the final date of the tour, Perfume announced that they would be doing a 2-day show at the prestigious Nippon Budokan in November 2008 as well as the release date of their next single, "love the world".[17]

2008-2009: Triangle era

"Love the World" was released on July 9, 2008. It became the first technopop song to ever reach number 1 on the Oricon charts.[18] In October 2008, the Perfume First Tour "Game" DVD was announced. Upon its release, it beat prominent artists like Koda Kumi and Namie Amuro for the number 1 spot.[19] Perfume then performed at Budokan for 2 days, November 6 and 7. On the second show, titled "Budoukaaaaaaaaaan!!!!!", they announced a show at yet another famous venue, Yoyogi National Gymnasium titled "Disco!Disco!Disco!". The year 2008 ended with the release of their 13th single, "Dream Fighter," which reached number 2 in the charts.[20] They were also chosen to sing at NHK's 59th Kouhaku Uta Gassen, the prestigious end of the year live TV program.

On March 25, 2009, Perfume released their 14th single, "One Room Disco". The single reached number 1 in the charts.[14] In April 2009, Perfume began broadcast of a comedy sketch program titled Perfume's Chandelier House.[21] On July 8, 2009, the group released its "80s-themed" third album, Triangle. The album was another number 1 hit for Perfume, selling over 300,000 copies.[14] Perfume then went on their second nationwide tour in order to promote the album.

2010-2011: Overseas activities and recognition; JPN era

In 2010, Perfume released "Fushizen na Girl / Natural ni Koishite", which reached number 2 in the charts.[22] They went on a fanclub-exclusive tour, titled Perfume 10th Anniversary Fan Club Tour[23] and also announced that they would be having a show at Tokyo Dome titled "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11." Perfume took part in a commercial for a Pepsi NEX campaign in Japan. In that commercial, they covered a short segment of Lovefool by The Cardigans.[24] On August 11, 2010, Perfume celebrated their 10th anniversary with the release of their 16th single, "Voice", which was used in a Nissan advert.[25]

Perfume's show at the Tokyo Dome as part of their 10 year anniversary marked only the second time an all female group had held a concert at the venue since Speed.[26] Tickets for the show were sold out on the day tickets were released. The demand for the tickets was so high that extra, unplanned seats were added. Perfume performed to 50,000 fans.[27] At the end of the show, it was announced that Perfume would attend the Mnet Asian Music Awards (a Korean music based award show that takes place in Macau), as one of the representatives for Japan alongside R&B duo Chemistry.[28] It was to be Perfume's first overseas performance.[27] After the concert, a new single titled "Nee" was released on November 10, 2010,[29] and like "Natural ni Koishite", it was a tie-up with Japanese apparel brand Natural Beauty Basic. The single debuted at number 2 with first-week sales of 85,164, their highest first-week singles sales to date.[30] On November 28, 2010, Perfume received the "Best Asia Artist Award" at the Mnet Asian Music Awards in Macau and later on performed "Nee" and "Chocolate Disco".[31] The DVD of the "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11" live performance at Tokyo Dome was released on February 9, 2011. Since 2 February 2011 a new song "Laser Beam" was featured in a Kirin juice ad "Hyouketsu".[32] Though it was announced on March 3, 2011 that their next single would be released on April 20, 2011, the official site announced on 1 April 2011, that the new single would be a double A-side single of "Laser Beam/Kasuka na Kaori" and the release was suspended until 5 May 2011, due to the 2011 eastern Japan earthquake.[33] The new release date of the single was then set to be on May 18, 2011.

In 2011, the representative song "Polyrhythm" was chosen as an inserted song of Pixar's movie, Cars 2. The song is also included in the film's soundtrack. Perfume was invited, and attended the world premiere of Cars 2 in Los Angeles on June 18, 2011. Perfume did a second TV commercial for Kirin and featured a new song, "Glitter".

On September 5, 2011, Perfume announced that they will be releasing their fourth album, JPN on November 30, 2011. Before the album was to be released, they released the new single, "Spice" on November 2, 2011, which is the lead single for the album and includes the song "Glitter" from their recent Kirin commercial tie-up.

On October 15, 2011, Perfume and Japanese co-ed band AAA represented Japan as performers for the 2011 Asia Song Festival which was held in Daegu, South Korea. They performed alongside Korean acts Super Junior, Girls' Generation, Beast and Lee Seung-gi, Chinese singer Zhou Bichang, Hong Kong singer Leo Ku, Taiwanese singer Peter Ho and Thai singer Tata Young.[34]

2012: Label change

On February 28, it was announced the group had transferred to Universal Music Japan to start working overseas. It was also announced that the group would be releasing their latest album, JPN, on iTunes in 50 countries and an official global website on March 6. The first official release of the group under Universal Music will be the single "Spring of Life", scheduled for release on 11 April.[35] On the same day, Universal Japan announced that the group would be managed by the label Universal J, the same label of the previously-signed singer-fashion designer Meg, who was also produced by Yasutaka Nakata.[36]

On March 8, 2012, the group announced that they will release a new single for 2012 titled "Spring of Life" on April 11. The title track is already being used as a CM for ‘Kirin Chu-hai Hyouketsu‘. This marks the group's first single to be released under their new record label.[37]

On May 18, 2012 Perfume did their first ever English speaking interview in the Japan Times on line. In it they talked about K-Pop, their move from Tokuma Japan to Universal Music and coming to America for the first time and their desire to perform internationally. Perfume and their management intend to present the group 'as is' internationally rather than adapting them to fit the market like previous attempts by Asian artists to break the international market.[38] This was backed up when the groups latest album JPN was released in various Asian markets physically.

The group is set to host the MTV Video Music Awards Japan 2012 which will be held in Chiba at Makuhari Messe Hall on June 23.[39]

Nico Nico Douga

On Nico Nico Douga, the most visited Japanese video sharing site (similar to YouTube), MADs featuring Perfume songs and idolm@ster videos, were created, which led the album to number 1 status on Amazon.jp's music bestsellers. Some Internet media consider that this is one of the factors that Perfume gained net-based popularity at first.[40][41] On the July 2007 ranking of Niconico Ichiba, or Niconico market, where users can introduce and buy goods related to videos, Perfume: Complete Best was ranked as number 1 and "Fan Service: Sweet" as number 7.[42]

Some musicians have officially revealed that they are fans of Perfume. Utamaru from a Japanese hiphop group Rhymester Okite Porsche from a new wave band RomanPorsche., both of enthusiastic idol fans,[5][46] declared that they are Perfume fans at the early stage of activities of the group and made a "25000 letter dialogue" over Perfume phenomenon on Yomiuri Shimbun Pop Style blog.[47]

Kimura Kaela played Perfume songs in heavy rotation in her radio program, which led them to appear in NHK AC Recycling Ads.[10]
