Hmm..
Currently I like to listen to Perfume..
They are a J-Techno/J-Electro group composed of 3 girls with somewhat robotic voice (does this make sense?)
Well, anyway..
I find it weird how I like this group as I am actually anti this type of music..
Perhaps it is the uniqueness of their music which attracted me and slowly develop into a personal liking..
Their music is different from the normal techno music that I've known..
In England, I notice that the people here like to listen to chipmunk-style music and disco..
That is the reason why I hate Techno/Electro music as it is annoying and bad for my ears..
but Perfume music is different..
The Techno in the UK has mostly been remixes of existing songs from popular music..
I have heard the Techno version of Celine Dion "My Heart Will Go On" and Westlife "My Love"
but Perfume is different..
I would say their music is original and somewhat catchy..
I still remember the first time when I downloaded their recent album "Game" and I deleted the whole lot of them except one song almost immediately..
but maybe it's because it was during exam time and my mind was pre-occupied..
but now, when I listen to it carefully after some time,
I find their music is not bad at all..
Of course, not all the songs in their album are good..
There will be some which you don't like..
but still, quite an amazing feat from three 19-year-old girls..
They have actually come a long way..
First formed about 7 years ago when they were still 12 year old girls..
They were occasionally featured in dramas and adverts but they never made their name until recently when they released their album "Game" and their popularity soared right after..
I guess their 7 year wait to fame has finally paid off..
Hmm..I think now, they actually have their own show on NHK..
but anyway, congratz to Perfume!!!
