Perfume パフューム JPop's Finest

If you have not heard of electropop group Perfume, then where have you been??!

They are an all female group from Japan formed in 2001 in Hiroshima. The group includes Ayano Ōmoto, Yuka Kashino, and Ayaka Nishiwaki. If you've watched the Pixar movie "Cars II", then you may have heard their song "Polyrhythm". Perfume's first song to catch my ear was "Fushizen na Girl" (不自然なガール) back in 2010, and I've been hooked to their electropop sound, fashion, and choreography since. These girls kickass!

Perfume is busy touring Europe for Summer 2013, and then back to Japan in December 2013. Come to America soon!!

JPOP my ear!

This past month I've been discovering some fun, Japanese dance and pop music. My favorite finds are Perfume and DJ Moonbug. These are all thanks to Soundcloud, which is an awesome app of strictly homemade music or remixes. I have found some of my favorite house, pop and dance music remixes on it, so download when you get the chance!

I found Perfume on Youtube almost 3 years ago, and love their modern dance sound and music videos. They've got slick choreographed moves, and the visuals, including their costumes and background are AMAZING! Below is their music video for Fushizen na Girl.

This remix by Moonbug is my FAVORITE!
