MEG / SECRET ADVENTURE

Among the many songs produced by Yasutaka Nakata, his collaborations with Meg radiate a unique charm.

Centered on themes of romance and adventure, this work leans heavily into electropop, characterized by danceable rhythms and a dreamlike atmosphere.

Released in January 2010, it was also selected as the ending theme for the TV anime Durarara!!, drawing considerable attention.

The lyrics, set against the backdrop of nocturnal cityscapes, portray emotions swaying between love and thrill, making it a great recommendation for those who want to experience the heartbeat of modern romance.

[Official Music Video] Perfume “Chocolate Disco”

One of the songs that helped Perfume break through.

It features sharp, catchy melodies and an electro-disco sound with an ’80s vibe.

At live shows, Nishiwaki calls out “Disco!” with her natural voice, without any vocal effects—definitely something to watch for.

Coltemönikha – Flying Light / Music Video with Lyrics (Japanese and English)

The track produced by Yasutaka Nakata embodies the fusion of fashion and music.

With a distinctive style that blends electropop and synth-pop, it offers a light and dreamlike musical experience.

Featured on the album COLTEMONIKHA released in May 2006, it was also used in a Kyocera mobile phone commercial.

Though the lyrics are entirely in English, they’re arranged in a fresh way that makes them sound like a mix of Japanese and English.

It’s perfect as background music for fashion shows or for moments when you want to escape reality.

A work that showcases Nakata’s talent and has had a strong influence on the electronic scene.

This is a commercial tie-in song for NATURAL BEAUTY BASIC, in which the members themselves also appeared.

Apparently, a faster-tempo version than the original had been produced, but when Yasutaka Nakata asked Perfume for their opinion, they chose the original tempo, so the original version was adopted.

FLASHPerfume

[Official Music Video] Perfume 「FLASH」

The theme song for the film Chihayafuru.

With striking lyrics that mention flashes of light and sparks in places, it even received a strong endorsement from the original author, Yuki Suetsugu, who said, “I was surprised at how well the lyrics and melody matched the story unfolding in the film.” Suetsugu also illustrated the jacket, featuring the three members of Perfume.

CANDY CANDYkyarī pamyu pamyu

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu – CANDY CANDY, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu – CANDY CANDY

It’s a track with a four-on-the-floor rhythm that’s poppy yet tinged with a certain bittersweetness.

The word “CANDY,” repeated almost like a spell, leaves such a powerful impression that it keeps echoing in your head long after the song stops.
