If you have not heard the news already, Perfume will actually be releasing a 4th single in their current era. You heard me right. 1, 2, 3, 4th. My mind is blown. This has never, NEVER happened before. You see, us Perfume fans were under the impression that 3 singles = an album. I mean, really, that has been the formula for every album to date (Even Complete Best if you don’t count the indies ones), that’s just how Perfume works. But, since Nakata, their producer, has decided to release his own album soon, he’s just gone and effed the whole system up. Thanks Nakata, thanks.
To be fair though, I’m a big supporter of letting artists take their time with releases, and I can honestly survive on very little release-age. I feel like Perfume just released Nee not too long ago, and WORLD WILD 2010 by Saori@destiny was just before that. So, I am glad Nakata’s taking his time instead of mass producing what would probably be really shitty music (Even if I would love it regardless…).
Honestly, the thing that angers me is not that we’re no longer getting 5-6 new songs from Perfume at once with an album, I think the worse part is that 575 and FAKE IT are definitely NOT gonna be on the album now. Do you know how inconvenient it is for those songs to be in a different album on my iTunes/How much it will bug me if I do add them to the album and no longer have the proper track list. Ugg… My life is so complicated T^T
But really, I’m excite. Only thing that could make me less excite is that if they use orange for the color-scheme for the single. For some reason, I have a feeling that they will do that and it will end terribly, but that’s just me. I’ll whore it to death either way. (Don’t believe me? NnKS, FnG, Nee, and FAKE IT are my 4 most played songs… and 575 is 6th… And VOICE is in the low 20s (lol. VOICE fail)
