It was used as the CM song for Kirin Chu-Hi “Hyoketsu,” and the lyrics were written by Yasutaka Nakata with Hyoketsu in mind.

There’s a story that only two weeks passed between recording and the commercial’s broadcast, making it the Perfume track with the shortest span from recording to airing.

In stark contrast to the technopop they had released up to now, the track is characterized by a sound with a slightly EDM-like vibe.

Initially, it was planned to be produced with lyrics entirely in English, but due to Perfume’s strong opposition, some Japanese lyrics were reportedly added.

This is one of the tracks included on the album “Nebula Romance: Part I.” The song was selected as the ending theme for the TV anime BEYBLADE X.

It’s an electropop piece that expresses the grand theme of space with dazzling synths and a buoyant beat.

The lyrics depict a weightless world, brimming with a sense of floating that lures listeners into the extraordinary.

It’s the perfect number for when you want to indulge in daydreams.

This song wraps you in a strangely slow, floating sensation, as if the flow of time were distorted.

Using the metaphor of “drifting clouds,” it expresses a desire to remain supple and unbound amid changing times.

The sound, infused with future bass elements, is truly pleasant.

Released as a single in March 2022 and included on the album PLASMA, it served as the theme song for TBS’s Tuesday drama Fight Song, coloring the story of the characters’ struggles and growth.

It’s a work that resonates with those who wish to stay free.

MoonPerfume

A dance tune that blends into the city nightscape, cool yet suffused with a bittersweet emotion.

Written as the theme song for the drama “Barakamon,” it was released as a single in September 2023.

Over a sprightly beat, the faintly wistful timbre of the synths rings out—classic Perfume at their best.

Gazing at the moon alone, lost in thought—it’s the perfect companion for a sentimental night.

Time WarpPerfume

This is a song that was used in a Peugeot commercial.

It was released in September 2020, a milestone marking the group’s 20th anniversary and 15th major-label anniversary, and was later included on the album “PLASMA.” The sparkling, chiptune-like Perfume sound layered with a nostalgic synth timbre is absolutely irresistible! The lyrics express a strong determination to enjoy this very moment to the fullest.

It’s perfect for driving, of course, and if you listen when you’re about to start something new, it’s sure to give you a push.

This is a track released in July 2021 as the theme song for Amazon’s original show The Masked Singer.

Amid a soundscape that evokes a near-future city, a subtly nostalgic melody drifts through—quite striking, isn’t it? Paired with an MV themed around a nighttime drive, it invites listeners into a world where reality and the virtual intersect.

It’s the perfect number for nights when you want to soak in an extraordinary mood.
