Perfume & Kaela Kimura 2007.08.21

Thanks for subtitling this a whole decade ago! Funny thing: this was only 10 days after Polyrhythm debuted at Summer Sonic 2007 in Osaka and that was the weird "jpop" version the label forced them to make. If you've never heard it there's an open string intro, verse structure's a bit different, no polyrhythm section (the waving arm part), and a key change at the end--though the vocals stay the same pitch, which is kind of a neat effect... From the intro and end though Kimura-san either played the radio edit or the full version we know and love. We can probably thank her for helping push the final, devastatingly good version of the song along with Perfume's career. A-chan never forgets her debts ;*)

I appreciate the historic significance of this radio station meeting. What a wonderful time to have live in when all was simple and left to our imaginations of what was going on in the studio :) Thank you very much for this, Perfume is wonderful ❤

「PerfumeはPerfumeでしかない。これからきっと真似する人がいっぱい出てくる。でも大丈夫、Perfumeは誰にも真似出来ないから。それが大事」 この部分に、Perfumeの存在を世に広く知らしめた木村カエラの真骨頂がある気がします。 そういえば女王蜂のアヴちゃんもPerfumeのことを「この世界の誰にも替えの利かない人達だ」と言っていました。

I can’t believe I found this. What an important moment for Perfume. Thank you for uploading and making English subtitles.

だよねー、初見でみんな抱いてるイメージが、ライブに行くと・・・、実は戦士だったんだと気づいたときは、もうPerfume Worldにどっぷりと・・・、過去何度ジャンピング土下座あったことか、彼女たちはROCK。 多分同じ匂いに引き寄せられたカエラ様に感謝。
