As a big fan of Perfume, and as someone who’s recently started to take a liking to vinyl records, I am excited about this announcement! Vinyls have steadily risen as a popular, old-school method for groups to release music in high quality and thankfully a few J-pop groups have taken note.

Preorders appear to be open so make sure to check the link for info on how to do that, but we should see them being released on February 17!

Perfume “STAR TRAIN” Teaser and Preview Released

October 16, 2015January 18, 2016 | kame

A short teaser and preview for Perfume’s STAR TRAIN have been released.

The teaser consists of 30 seconds of video where we get to see an empty room with the members walking away from the screen with a movie projector in the middle. The song isn’t long at all and it’s basically just that: a teaser. Yet, it gives us a good idea of what kind of theme the MV will have.

If that isn’t enough there is a full preview for the song courtesy of a radio rip and so far the song sounds quite solid

The teaser is after the break but remember: the release date is set for October 28, so make sure to get your copy!

Perfume ” STAR TRAIN” Preview Released

September 13, 2015January 18, 2016 | kame

A preview for Perfume’s upcoming single titled STAR TRAIN has been released.

The preview was featured in a trailer for their upcoming documentary.

From what I can tell the song has a bit of a laid back sound to it which is quite catchy. Of course, we only get 15 seconds of the song but it certainly does match the star theme that the title has. Many fans are mentioning that it does have vocals separated so solos are a bit clearer.

It will be fun to see just how this single shapes up, and of course how the PV looks. For now the song seems to be quite solid!

The release date is set for October 28.

Check out the preview after the break (starting around 00:38)!

The single will coincide with the 15th anniversary of the band so it’s quite a milestone. I’m more than excited for this release, and can’t wait to see just what kind of sound the group will use after the calm and EDM-focused Relax in the City/Pick Me Up.
