Information

"Laser Beam / Kasuka na Kaori" is the 13th major label and 18th overall single released by Perfume. It was released in two versions: a limited CD+DVD edition that comes with a DVD of the short version of the "Laser Beam"'s PV and a making of clip of the single's jackets, and a regular CD only edition. The limited edition comes packaged in a special cardboard slipcase, a first for the group's releases. First pressings of the single came with a B2 promotional poster (also a first). "Laser Beam" was used in a commercial for Kirin Chuuhai Hyouketsu.

The single was originally scheduled to be released on April 20, but it was postponed until May 18 due to the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami.
The single is certified Gold for the shipment of 100,000 copies.
