Perfume (パフューム, Pafyūmu?) is a female technopop group from Hiroshima, consisting of Ayano Ōmoto, Yuka Kashino and Ayaka Nishiwaki, who debuted locally in 2001, making their transition to a major label in 2005. As of June 2009, the group has released nine major label singles to great success.[1]
Since 2003, Perfume has been produced by Yasutaka Nakata, founder of the group capsule and the contemode label.[2] The group's original post-Shibuya-kei sound made a sharp transition to electro house and technopop upon their signing to a major label.[3]
Marty Friedman, ex-guitarist of Megadeth, named Perfume "The group which had the biggest influence on the Japanese music industry in 2008".[4] The group has often been compared to Yellow Magic Orchestra and Aira Mitsuki.

most of Perfume's recent works have become terrible mainstream crap that isn't even worth listening to, their Shibuya-kei era works were the reason they were so unique despite capsule also being produced side by side with them.
the same can be said about capsule as well, anything post Sugarless GiRL is awful, save for a select couple of tracks across the four albums they released after SG.

I wen to Japan this summer for a homestay and on my first week there Triangle came out. I LOVED it and proceeded to download all of their past albums and songs. Sadly I left a week before their Japan tour began =(. Amazing group, love them all so much. A-chan is my favorite =D
Honestly I don't think that Triangle is that bad, there a quite a few lovable songs on it. GAME is great too. Both these albums sounds a little similar to the Trance I listen to, making me love them even more.
*Edit: How could I forget Polyrythem?
