This week we have GIRLFRIEND and their MV for FLASH. Out now, the track is not available for purchase but the group has released their debut album titled CHOCOLATE.

Perfume are known for their catchy electronic music that has captured the hearts of fans throughout the world. But, what if you had an girl band cover one of their hits? Enter GIRLFRIEND, an up-and-coming group that manages to do just that in a rather catchy way.

This 4-piece rock group does a pretty good job of translating those beeps and boops from Perfume’s FLASH into a rock track. Add in some vocals from every member as they sing to the catchy beat and you have a rather impressive cover.

As for visuals, there are no fancy settings. All we see are a few girls jamming out in a room, which is perfect to fully appreciate the track.
