(36) Beep Beep Zap Zap!
Back to Jpop again... maybe. The other day I was browsing the vox posts for perfume reviews with the keyword being "perfume" and discovered a new jpop group that I've never heard of. Perfume(アーティスト) is a techno-pop girl group that consists of three members. They have 3 indies singles, 3 major singles and 1 best album. I will be reviewing the best album today which is basically all of the indies and major singles combined.
I have also heard that they are great live. I'm not quite sure about it though because it's pretty hard to do these techno songs live. You can check them out on youtube. I love the Computer City mtv a lot.
Outstanding songs:
(3) Computer City - Great mtv with an awesome dance!
Worth Checking Out:
(2) Linear Motor Girl - A bit on the poppy side but bearable. May sound like you entered a game world.
(4) Electro World - Would make a great clubbing song if it was mixed around a bit more.
New Overplayed Song:
(1) Perfect Star Perfect Style - The song that got me started!
Better Average Songs:
(5) Inryoku - It sounds like a music game song from pop'n music.
(11) Perfume - Because I like the trance-feel.
Middle Average Songs:
(8) Sweet Donuts - More pop than techno.
(9) Foundation - More girly pop stuff.
(10) Computer Driving - After 2 poppy songs, they try to bring back the techno.
(11) wonder2 - A more slower softer song. Lots of lala-ing in it. Feels like you're slowly flying above the clouds.
Slight Bit Annoying:
(6) Monochrome Effect - Has the techno beats but their singing sounds too childish.
(7) Vitamin Drop - Same thing as (6).
Ok, so I did like the major singles over all the indies singles. The indies were too happy and poppy. So warm that it made me a bit sick but don't get me wrong! The indies are just as good as the major ones.. just not my style. Perfume(アーティスト) have fun and catchy songs so I would try them out now!
Note: Again, these are only my opinions. You may not like the ones I like. It's ok!
