    The new visuals were banned ??? Was it too provocative or the color of the costumes ??

    Long Interview in Just Jared

    "Perfume Talks 'Plasma,' the J-Pop Industry & Their Desert Island Album Picks (Interview)"

    Perfume might look and sound like the future, but they’re mostly focused on the present moment.

    Two decades after their debut as local idols in Hiroshima, the forward-thinking Japanese pop trio – individually NOCCHi, KASHIYUKA and a-chan – are taking the next step in their prolific, boundary-breaking career with their eighth studio album Plasma, out on Wednesday (July 27).

    Characterized by glitchy electronic beats courtesy of collaborator Yasutaka Nakata and mesmerizing, robot-like choreography by Japanese dancer Mikiko, the group known for their futuristic flair has gone on to become the first J-pop girl group to perform at Coachella, boasting a non-stop string of No. 1 albums in Japan over the years, as well as chart-topping hits like “Love the World, “Dream Fighter,” “One Room Disco,” “Spring of Life,” “Star Train,” Flow,” and “Time Warp,” among many others.

    With their new record, including recently released tracks “Polygon Wave” and “Spinning World,” the group is intent on bringing their signature brand of fun while exploring various sonic textures, all while showcasing the human side of Perfume.

    We spoke to the group about their thoughts on the J-pop industry today, how the group has changed over the years, their “desert island” album picks, their thoughts on the metaverse, and what the future looks like for Perfume.


    You’re on Album 8 now! As an established act on the J-pop scene, what themes and sounds did you tackle with this album that you haven’t already?
    KASHIYUKA:
    Unlike past albums where there was one theme or particular vibe throughout the album, this one can be a lot of different things. I want people to interpret it as they like. I think the message is to relax and enjoy and make this album part of your daily routine.

    Can you tell us more about your decision to name the album Plasma?
    KASHIYUKA:
    Our producer, Yasutaka Nakata, said that the album is organic but scientific. Futuristic but analog. The title Plasma matches the analog side of Perfume as real human beings, while also touching on the high-tech side of our music and cutting-edge performances.

    What’s one new song in particular you want fans to know more about, and why?
    KASHIYUKA:
    “Spinning World” – This song being the lead track ahead of the album was a surprise to me. It felt really relaxing and it was a fun song to sing. We have always been told to shut out emotions when we sing, but on this song, it felt like it was okay to have some warmth. It was soft and it felt good. I still find myself singing it and I can’t get it off my head. The music video is interesting, too. It’s symbolic. You can’t tell exactly where it is, but the cloud outside is drifting away so fast, which is a hint that we’re somewhere up high. That’s all we know, but we are living in that loop. It’s like a parallel world, a fiction which you’re chasing the past. This abstract music video added depth to the song.

    NOCCHi: I was also surprised. It’s a lead track but very stripped down and breezy. There is a phrase “elegant scent” in the lyrics. I think that really portrays where we are as Perfume. A grown up Perfume.

    a-chan: “Drive’n The Rain.” This song has a city pop feel to it and I can see this song being played in a home suitable for a luxurious lifestyle. This song adds a different color to the album from “Spinning World” and it is a perfect “driving” song! I want you to play it loud in your car!

    What are Perfume’s personal Top 3 “desert island” albums? The three records you would take with you on a deserted island.
    Perfume:
    What? Album? Not, like, cooking tools? [Laugh]

    KASHIYUKA: I would like to bring our new album Plasma because this album has more raw and organic sound compared to our signature high-tech, electro music. It would be interesting to see how it sound in a very organic scenery of a deserted island.

    NOCCHi: Jack Johnson, In Between Dreams. This album can instantly bring you to a resort island wherever you are. I think I would be panicking in a deserted island so by listening to this album, I would like to at least feel like I’m in a resort island.

    a-chan: I will bring Tom Misch, Geography. This album simply makes me feel really good. I think I would be so upset being on a deserted island if I’m alone, so I want to play this album while I build my tent and pick up branches to start the fire, etc. But in reality, I would rather bring a knife for survival purposes rather than an album. [Laugh]

    [and much more]
