Perfume – “Challenger” (Official Music Video)

This work features a music video theme selected through a public call for submissions.

The song itself is something special: an unreleased track that sparked the first encounter between the group and producer Yasutaka Nakata, reconstructed from a contemporary perspective.

Set to bubbly, retro-tinged electronic sounds that recall their early days, the lyrics send cheers to their past selves and really hit home.

It’s included on the best-of album “Perfume The Best ‘P Cubed,’” released in September 2019.

It’s sure to support you as you chase your dreams.

EverydayPerfume

[Official Music Video] Perfume 「Everyday」

An exceptionally cute pop song.

It’s the B-side to the single “If you wanna,” released in August 2017.

Inspired by Panasonic’s washing machine promotion with a “bubbles” theme, its effervescent rhythm and synth sounds are irresistibly adorable and totally uplifting! Give it a listen and even ordinary everyday life might start to sparkle.

How about playing it while you do housework?

Future PopPerfume

[Official Music Video] Perfume 「Future Pop」

This is the track that formed the core of their seventh album, “Future Pop.” Its bold incorporation of future bass—a sound that was still unfamiliar at the time—left an intensely vivid impression for its sheer forward-thinking approach.

The anecdote that Kashiyuka was moved to tears when she first heard it conveys the special power this song holds.

If you listen to this sound—where technology and emotion seem to melt together—when stepping into a new world, it’s sure to elevate your spirits to the highest level.

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.
