Perfume promoting "Moon" (2023)

Perfume (パフューム) is an all-girl electro-pop trio from Hiroshima who debuted locally in 2001 and nationally in 2005. At first, Perfume had a hard time finding an audience or any success. They started off with a more traditional idol pop sound and gradually shifted more and more into the electro-pop they are known for today. It wasn't until the release of their 10th single "Polyrhythm" that the group was elevated to a new level of popularity. Today, they are a top seller in the J-pop industry and are consistently releasing hits.

Information

Perfume promoting "OMAJINAI★Perori" (2002)

2000-01: Early Years/Local Debut

In 2000, three young girls formed a group together in their hometown of Hiroshima. They were Nishiwaki Ayaka (A~chan), Kashino Yuka (Kashiyuka), and Kawashima Yuuka (Kawayuka). Because all three members had the Japanese character for fragrance in their names (香), they named the group Perfume. However, before the group could even debut, Kawashima decided to pull out of the project and pursue her studies.

Perfume decided to continue on as a duo but Nishiwaki's mother commented on the lack of power that a two-member group has. Nishiwaki set out to find a replacement, and Oomoto Ayano (Nocchi) joined as the third member. The three girls attended the Actors School in Hiroshima (as part of the inaugural class of 1999) so although it was awkward for Nocchi and Kashiyuka at first (they had never met before being introduced by A~chan), they soon became a tight-knit group.

In 2001, Perfume debuted in Hiroshima with the single "OMAJINAI★Perori". They followed up the release with "Kareshi Boshuuchuu". Both singles were only sold in Hiroshima under Momiji Label. Around this time they also met MIKIKO, a dance instructor who would go on to choreograph all of the group's dances from this point forward.

Perfume promoting "Monochrome Effect" (2004)

2003-05: BEE-HIVE/Indies Era

In 2003, following their graduation from the Actors School in Hiroshima, the trio moved to Tokyo. There, they became a part of BEE-HIVE (an idol group similar to Hello! Project) and signed with the management office Amuse Inc.. As a part of BEE-HIVE, the trio experienced the harsh reality of life away from home as well as dormitory life. However, they also made friends and learned valuable lessons.

In Tokyo, they also met someone who would become a crucial aspect of their success, capsule's Nakata Yasutaka who would become their main producer. Between the years of 2003 and 2004, they released "Sweet Donuts", "Monochrome Effect", and "Vitamin Drop" under the indies label BEE-HIVE RECORDS. It was also during this time that they had their first three live performances. Because the girls were so energetic, fans acquired an appreciation for them. Still, none of their releases became a hit. Not very many people showed up to Perfume's lives and they struggled to build a fanbase. Although the members became distressed by their lack of success, they carried on. Though they were in danger of being dropped, their management office made the choice to give Perfume a major debut.

In August of 2005, Perfume dabbled in Akihabara style music. They participated in a special project tiled Akihabalove featuring Perfume x DJ Momo-i. The song was released on a DVD along with the promotional video.

Perfume promoting "Electro World" (2006)

2005-06: Major Debut

On September 21, 2005, Perfume made its major label debut under the label, Tokuma Japan Communications. They released the single "Linear Motor Girl", which managed to chart on the Oricon charts at #99.

Two singles, "Computer City" and "Electro World" followed in 2006. Around this time, more people began to notice Perfume through rumors on the internet as well as through YouTube videos. Nakata's unique style led to Perfume being crowned as a "near future technopop unit". However, none of the three releases was a solid hit.

On August 2, 2006, Perfume released Perfume ~Complete Best~ along with a new track, "Perfect Star Perfect Style" . They promoted the album at small events in stores and on streets, even handing out leaflets to passing strangers. The album reached #33 on the Oricon charts (later climbing up as high as #25 with the release of Perfume's 2nd album GAME). The release of this compilation caused fans to worry that the group's disbandment was near as usually, groups who release best-of albums before they have a major hit are disbanded soon after.

On December 20, 2006, Perfume released a digital single, "Twinkle Snow Powdery Snow". The song later appeared on their single, "Fan Service [sweet]". One day later, Perfume had a live concert held at Harajuku Astro Hall which was later recorded and released as Fan Service [bitter].

Perfume promoting "Polyrhythm" (2007)

2007: Polyrhythm & Success Breakthrough

While almost all of the other BEE-HIVE members began to get dropped by Amuse Inc., Perfume was given the opportunity to release another single. In February 2007, they released "Fan Service [sweet]" featuring the fun dance track "Chocolate Disco". This was a turning point for Perfume in which their luck began to change. Although the sales for "Fan Service [sweet]" were not stellar, "Chocolate Disco" caught the attention of an already well-established artist in the J-pop industry, Kimura Kaela. Kimura played Perfume's music on her radio show consistently. While listening to Kimura's radio show, a commercial director named Akira Tomotsugi noticed Perfume and decided to use the three girls in an upcoming TV ad.

On July 1, 2007, the commercial for NHK's national recycling campaigned aired, featuring Perfume and a new song, "Polyrhythm". The commercial gave Perfume exposure they could have only dreamed of before. Subsequently, their next live show sold out, Perfume ~Complete Best~ reached #1 on the Amazon CD charts, and Perfume became the first idol group to perform at the Summer Sonic music festival.

On September 12, 2007, Perfume released their 10th single "Polyrhythm". It reached #4 on the Oricon daily single charts and climbed as high as #7 on the weekly charts. This is noted as the beginning of Perfume's national fame.

Trivia

• The group's name was written in hiragana at first (ぱふゅーむ). It was only after moving to Tokyo that the group changed its name to Perfume.
• Kashiyuka first met Nocchi at a sleepover at A~chan's house. While A~chan went to take a shower, they shared a very awkward, mostly silent 30 minutes together.
• Before they had become popular, Perfume held a concert in the parking lot of a bowling alley.
• Only 5 guests showed up to Perfume's debut event in Hiroshima. 3 of the guests were employees at the CD store.
• At a DJ event in Hokkaido in 2005, Perfume served audience members a breakfast of handmade Sapporo Ramen.
• In August 2005, Perfume participated in a concert called J-POP Union vol. 2. They performed an unreleased song titled "Juicy Fragrance". The song has never been released because producer Nakata Yasutaka lost the data.
• Perfume also has two other songs that have never been officially released: "Counter Attraction" and "Imitation World". Both are found on the DVD Fan Service [bitter] .
• Perfume's official fanclub is named P.T.A which stands for Perfume to Anata (Perfume and You).
