History of Perfume, The Techno Pop Unit who changes people’s feeling

Welcome to Perfume World!

Well, after a long thought about this I decided to write this article. I’ll dedicate this article to Perfume so that many people can know their hardworks and passions. There are so many idol group in Japan and no one ever caught my attention. It was this group who can tempt me like this. At first, I like their dancing style. But after I hear all of their musics, I become attached to this kind of music. This techno pop music is very well composed and make people who hear it feel strong and happy. Their succesful streaks weren’t easy to get. I think I will tell the history of this group named Perfume. How they can be so famous like nowadays? How can they attract so many people to come see them? How can they become popular like this? I’ll explain it in the next paragraph.

Well, I’m back. With a lot of things to do lately and joining Surabaya Toastmasters Club, my life is much colorful than before. Anyway, it’s already 2 years since I’ve started this blog. This means that this month is my blog’s 2nd year anniversary! Ok, sorry for leaving such a long time. It seems that I’ve abandoned my own blog for 2 months. But well, now that I’m back again. I’ll be updating my blog again regularly.

Finally, my Perfume’s GAME RE Album is here!

GAME RE that I got from Tower Records

Three weeks after I got my Triangle Album, I’ve decided to buy Perfume’s second album GAME RE. Too bad their LE one is out of stock. My friend who is back from Japan to Indonesia searched it for me in HMV and it’s out of stock in there. But I told him to find me in the Tower Records considering that there is the place where Perfume always promoting their album. Therefore he got 1 for me, and he took the Bounce free magazine from there too with Aira Mitsuki on the cover.

Yay, my Perfume’s 3rd album ⊿(Triangle) package arrives!!!!

My Triangle Package from play-asia =)

Today, I am so happy because my package has arrived safely to my house. In addition, considered this to be my first Perfume goodies ever that I have, I got the Limited Edition of it too. Thanks to play-asia for delivering it safely to my house. Actually I’ve preordered it a week(3rd July 2009) before their actual release(8th July 2009), yet play-asia still manage to get the Limited Edition one for me. I feel grateful for that. It is exactly 2 weeks after they shipped my package and I’ve received it now(It was shipped on 7th and I receive it on 21th). For the people who pre-ordered from yesasia and got cancelled, I feel sorry to you. I know how your feeling is by now, and I can’t imagine a big company like yesasia can dissapoint their customers like that.

Hmm enough of that! So, I was opening my package and it took long time to open it lol. Idk what should I do, because it was my first time ordering something from internet. I was so excited when opening it lol. Play-asia wrapped the package well, using bubble-wrap and box to keep it safe(and yes free shipping too XD). Finally after I take a glance of it, I feel so happy that actually make me want to jump around my room lol. It was a real ⊿ LE album in my hands. I just… #$*&@#^@#%@#(overly excited) hahaha. Well, this is also my first time too so I think that’s pretty normal right? Ok, so when I opened it, I got left case slip, album case(of course lol), nice ⊿ booklet(glossy), the ⊿ CD, the ⊿ DVD, the back cover, and their 2009 tour information paper. It’s very nice bundle IMHO, because the photoshot in the booklet are very awesome hehe. Here is the pics of that:

Night Flight Song Leaked[DDL]!!! Super awesome song for their Triangle album!!!

Make a Night Flight! Have a Nice Flight!

It’s been 2 months since the teaser or the CM version. And now finally they have released the full version of it. Well, even though it has been released. The quality of it is still MQ to HQ because it’s mono not stereo. But the music itself is still beautifully stunning. This Night Flight has different taste with their CM version. It has been tagged as their Triangle version. Well, just enjoy it. This is the DDL for it:

Perfume Collaboration with Kaela Kimura called 「木村カエラ∞Perfume」 in Yokohama Arena!!!

Triangle eyes =) Where is Kashiyuka?

On 4th July 2009, there will be a 3oth years celebration of “Hot Stuff Promotion” in Yokohama Arena. Kimula Kaela and Perfume will be the guests in that event. Each of them will sing 1 song and there will be 2 songs total. I wonder what collaboration will they make. Kaela and Perfume have been a good friend since 2007. And now it is like a dream come true that they will perform in the same stage. It is also Perfume’s second collaboration with another artist(the first was Akihabalove with DJ Momoi). Is this also have a possibility for the new singles release from that collaboration? Who knows, only time will tell!

Suramadu Bridge, should I be proud or shame?

The Beautiful Suramadu Bridge

One week ago, the Suramadu bridge has been officially opened to public by the government. The bridge itself has a pretty good design and very good architecture. Suramadu bridge connects Surabaya and Madura. China has donated their money to help us build this bridge. Indeed, this is the largest bridge that we have in Indonesia. But the problem is, it’s not longer than 1 week since it has been opened and now the decoration lamps are missing one by one. There are some news told that the screws are starting missing too one by one. That news was reported by most of Chinese’s construction people who helped us to build this great bridge. Me, in the other sides just feel ashamed about this news. It shows us about how much we, Indonesian people, don’t show good manners to the world. I still remember how the bridge are very crowded when they launched it for the first time. It was, until 3 days later when they found that starting at the fourth day they must pay to cross the bridge. After that news, the people who get there starting to decrease a lot. At that time, I was just laughing hard reading this matter in my local newspaper. How about me? Hmm, I haven’t seen it live, even though I live near of that bridge. It just a bridge, and yeah I feel proud if this news won’t cover the newspaper. But after I read this news, I don’t know what should I feel. Proud or shame?
