Perfume new single “SPICE” tracklist and covers out! Plus, more info about their JPN album!

Hello everyone! I’m super excited today because some of the most important news I’ve been waiting for are out!

Perfume’s new single “SPICE” is going to be released in November 02, here’s the gorgeous promo image for it:

Isn’t it amazing? And colorful? And stylish? And omg A~chan looks so sexy! As do Yuka and Nocchi, of course. My favorite outfit is Kashi’s (as usual) but all of them look absolutely stunning!

The tracklist for both editions is:

1. SPICE

2. GLITTER

3. SPICE (Instrumental)

4. GLITTER (Instrumental)

And the limited edition comes with a DVD with the PV for Glitter! Also, first press bonus is an amazing poster (I still don’t know what the poster is going to look like, but if it’s anything like the promo pic then I love it already!)

Here are the covers for the regular edition:

Oh my. Kashi why are you so sexy gurl? I just love everything about her, the hair is lovely, the pose, she’s just exuding confidence and sex appeal! Nocchi looks adorable, and they found a way to make her very awkward onigiri hairstyle look cute xD I’m loving her belt (but I like Kashi’s more. Ok I’ll shut up about my Kashiyuka love now) And A~chan. Wow. No words, really. Her hair is absolutely perfect and her outfit is realistically the only one I’d wear in real life. I also love her expression and just guh… this is amazing ;_;

And here’s the limited edition cover:

Hold me, I might faint right now. When I saw this picture it was incorrectly labeled as regular edition, and I freaked out so much! I thought I would have to order a regular edition of the single as well because HOW COULD I POSSIBLY LIVE WITHOUT THIS AMAZINGNESS IN MY COLLECTION? *faints* This picture is ridiculously lovely. Kashiyuka is the most perfect human being to have ever walked on the Earth, and Nocchi looks a bit awkward, but isn’t it cute anyway? A~chan looks so slender, and her clothes are so pretty *__* And the light coming through the circle thingy, isn’t it amazing? I love everything about this picture, the movement, the outfits, the make up. I especially love Kashiyuka. Damn it. A~chan is supposed to be my favorite but I’m more and more drawn to Kashi every day <3 I’m a closet Kashian lol

As if this wasn’t enough, some news about their JPN album, being released in November 30 also surfaced:

Apparently, there are 13 tracks in the album, and even though we don’t have the complete list yet, we know that it’s going to include Fushizen na Girl, Natural ni Koishite, Voice, Nee, Laser Beam and Kasuka na Kaori. I really really hope that they don’t include Spice/Glitter in it, because then the number of new songs would be disappointingly low, and I want plenty of new songs…

Besides what’s the point of releasing a single so close to the album if the songs are going to be in the album anyway? Wouldn’t that be like shooting yourself on the foot? I’m glad there are no B-sides, because really, I want album tracks. Perfume’s album tracks have never disappointed me so I’m super excited this time as well. The album is really long overdue though, 2 and a half years have passed since Triangle after all, and I can’t say I’m happy about it, because thanks to that (and the double A-sides…) we have almost no room for new stuff, but I’ll keep the faith!

Maybe next year they can actually come up with a better release schedule tbh. But eh, I’m digressing. What I was going to tell you guys is that the DVD tracklist for the limited edition of “JPN” is out and here it is:

1. Spice PV

2. Natural ni Koishite PV

3. Laser Beam Full Version PV

4. Kasuka na Kaori PV

5. Kasuka na Kaori PV TV Version

6. Fushizen na Girl / Natural ni Koishite TV Spot

7. Voice TV Spot

8. Nee TV spot

9. Laser Beam TV Spot

10. Spice TV Spot

Hmm… Yay for the Spice PV <3 I love owning their PVs in physical copies so I’m thrilled that they’ve included Natural ni Koishite here, but omg so many TV Spots! It looks like they were just trying to cram stuff in the DVD so that people wouldn’t complain, but I seriously doubt many people care about CMs…

On the other hand, there’s fishy stuff: Spice PV included but the song not being part of the CD? It’s making people suspect that Spice/Glitter are going to be part of the album (especially because in the dance contest that’s going on right now they state that Glitter is included in JPN…) and I really really am wishing with all my might that this isn’t the case. I don’t have money as is,especially not to be spending it in a compilation CD when I already own all of the singles :/  Let’s wait and see.

Another fishy tidbit is the appearance of a full Laser Beam PV. If you remember, when the single was released they said they couldn’t film the whole thing because of the earthquake, which is why they included jacket photoshoot footage to make up for the short PV, however, here’s a full version! Did they go and re record the missing scenes? Is it just going to be more dance scenes? What happened with the guy and his briefcase (we knew the girls got it because it can be seen in the KnK video but how did that happen? Will they elaborate on it?)

And then there’s Kasuka na Kaori, not only once, but twice For the least popular Perfume song ever with the western fanbase, I can already hear the whining from a kilometer away. I for one absolutely adore the song, I think it’s gorgeous and that most of the people who say it’s just random Jpop haven’t really taken the time to thoroughly listen to it, there are amazing and subtle electronic elements in it, and all without taking away from its ethereal, dream like lovey atmosphere.

Overall, I’m excited, very very excited. This news have totally brightened my really depressing week, and I’m hoping for the best. It might be because I’m a mindless fan or maybe because I really adore everything about the group, but they’ve never disappointed me, and I’m hoping to keep that up.
