1) Perfume is a three-girl… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists named Perfume:
1) Perfume is a three-girl j-pop / electro-pop group from Hiroshima, Japan who debuted locally in 2001 and nationally in 2005. In 2001, three 11-12 year old girls from an Artist School formed a group together in their hometown of Hiroshima primarily consisting of Yuka Kashino (Kashiyuka), Ayaka Nishiwaki (A-Chan) and Yūka Kawashima ("Kawayuka"). Because all three members had the Japanese character (香) for fragrance in their names, they named the group Perfume. Kawayuka soon left the group to pursue her studies and Ayano Omoto ("Nocchi") took her place, invited by A-Chan. In 2002, they released two limited edition singles only in Hiroshima, called “Omajinai★ペロリ” and “彼氏募集中”. All three members moved to Tokyo in 2003 and became produced by 中田ヤスタカ. Between the years of 2003 and 2004, they produced “スウィートドーナッツ”, “ モノクロームエフェクト”, and “ビタミンドロップ” under the indie label Bee-Hive Records. During that time, they performed to a one-man live three times. Because the girls were so energetic, fans acquired an appreciation for them.
It wasn’t until 2007 that Perfume gained attention, when their single “ポリリズム(Polyrhythm)” became the theme song for a nationwide recycling campaign. The day of its release, it hit number #4 on the Oricon charts and #7 for the weekly ranking, making this the first time Perfume reached the top 10. Almost overnight the group became a success, and to date they have sold nearly 60,000 copies of “ポリリズム”.
After that, they were invited to several shows and radio programs. On December 31st, 2007, Perfume performed in a concert titled “Countdown 2008”. This was by far the biggest performance in the history of the group. In February 2008, Perfume released their new single “Baby cruising Love / マカロニ" (Baby Cruising Love / Macaroni), breaking their previous record by achieving #3 on the daily and weekly charts. Since their newfound success, their album “Perfume ～Complete Best～” began to rechart despite being released two years prior.
Their second album "Game" charted number one on the Oricon chart.
Perfume’s single “love the wold”, the first from their third album ⊿, was released on July 9, 2008.
'Dream Fighter' was released on November 19, 2008 and placed 2nd on the Oricon charts, where it charted for 10 weeks and sold 105,000 copies.
The final single from ⊿, "ワンルーム・ディスコ" ("One Room Disco") was released on March 25, 2009. The single reached no.1 on the Oricon weekly chart dated April 1, and placed 59th on the yearly chart, selling 101,000 copies.
"不自然なガール / ナチュラルに恋して" ("Fushizen na Girl / Natural ni Koishite") is their tenth major single, and the first to be released from their currently un-named fourth studio album. Both songs were produced by Yasutaka Nakata, continuing Perfume's exclusive relationship with him as their producer. The double a-side single will be released on April 14, 2010.
Their third album ⊿ (pronounced Triangle) was released on July 8, 2009, and has been so far sold certified platinum for sales of 250,000 copies. This success can be attributed to a successful string of 3 singles: 'love the world', 'Dream Fighter' and 'ワンルーム・ディスコ' (One Room Disco); as well as a sucessful national tour.
Their song Polyrhythm is showcased in the Pixar movie Cars 2.
Their fourth album, LEVEL3 was released on October 2, 2013.
On April 6th 2016, Perfume released their fifth album, Cosmic Explorer, their first album in nearly 3 years, and on August 15th 2018, the album Future Pop.
The following year, the group had released a new, remastered complete compilation of single releases + a lot of b-sides - Perfume The Best "P Cubed".
At this very moment the group is anticipating the release of their first mini-album ポリゴンウェイヴ, scheduled for September 2021.
2) Perfume was also a British indie band formed in Leicester, England, and active between 1993 and 1997. They released two albums, "One" and "Yesterday Rising".
3) Perfume is an American band. Originally formed in 1999 in Santa Cruz, California. The band's other home was Portland, Oregon from 2001-2003. Influenced by many groups of the last 50 years, the band's sound was an amalgam of sorts, with heavy drumming, lots of distortion, and infectious melodies that could be heard through the wall of sound produced by this power-trio.
They released one album titled "Today's Favorite Game" in 2003. The album features "Natural Bridges," a song about losing a loved one, "Letter in my Living Room," about a friend's drug addiction, and the acoustic ballad "Pretend it's my Soul," which was recorded in Portland's Jackpot! Studios. Today's Favorite Game CD music contains a single disc with 12 songs.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ぬくもりだって足りないの
視線の行く先はどこ？
キミに全てあげるわ
心がうまく冷えないの
ぬくもりだっていらないの
期待の向く先はどこ？
You are my heart, my life, and my soul.
I love you more than words can say. Ah
You are my heart, my life, and my soul.
The best thing that I can do is to show you now.×2
The lyrics to Perfume's song "The best thing" expresses a deep and profound love for someone. The first verse says that the singer cannot express their feelings with words and that even warmth is not enough to describe how they feel. They question where the person they love is looking or going, but ultimately ends by saying "I will give you everything." The next verse is about how the singer's heart cannot cool down, and they don't even need warmth anymore. The line "期待の向く先はどこ？(Where is the direction of hope?)" brings up the idea of uncertainty and the unknown, but the singer still wants to give everything to the person they love. The chorus repeats the lines "You are my heart, my life, and my soul" emphasizing the importance of this person in their life, and how they love them more than words can express. The last line is "the best thing that I can do is to show you now" indicating that the singer wants to let their actions speak louder than their words.

Perfumeの曲の中で一番好き。
エフェクト、グルーヴ感、滑らかなサビ入り、最小限の音。
ヤスタカの真骨頂ですね。
@KamenRiderNocchi
この曲が、PerfumePTAでのNo1ソングだったのは感慨深い。
@ikd7877
超意訳ですが英語詞の部分を訳すと、
「あなたは私の心、人生、魂そのもの。言葉にできないほど愛してる。いま私ができる精いっぱいのことは、あなたを愛すること。」
ってな感じの意味です。ファンクラブ限定ライブで一曲目にこんな曲を披露したなんて粋すぎるぜチームPerfume。もっとライブでやってほしい！
@morinokumasan460

1番目のかしゆかの「足りないの」がとても良い。ライブでもっとやってほしい…限定ライブの1回と東京ドームで少しだけなんて勿体無い！

サビの部分、一度聞いたら耳から離れない。癖になる。

↓同意！ 最近のも可愛くてポップで好きだけど、 エレクトロなカッコイイPerfumeはやっぱり魅力的です。
