Kashiyuka has reached her 23rd birthday today. She’ll love to hear the good responses and good will all of her fans as well as all of Perfume’s fan around the world are sure to give. So be sure to wish her a happy birthday in your own way on her special day!

From Perfume City and all of its members, happy birthday Kashiyuka! Hopefully it’s the best one yet!

By having their best weekly sales ever at a remarkable 226,858 copies sold, they not only claimed their third #1 album to go alongside 2008′s Game and 2009′s Triangle, but became the first female group since SPEED in 1999, and the second ever, to reach #1 three consecutive albums.

It goes without saying they’re doing things few female groups ever have the opportunity to do and continue to push forward boundaries on the Japanese music industry. Enough congratulations for this accomplishment can’t be given, so congratulations to Perfume for reaching #1!

For our SPICE limited edition single, we have

Abracadabra!

This trio’s original choreography was very impressive! Despite their camera not being the greatest, their routine still shined through. Most importantly, their movements were very fluid and Perfume-like, one of the main things we looked for. Congratulations!

For our JPN limited edition album we have

PerfuNe!

He also covered and performed original choreography to GLITTER! What was most impressive is that he did all the parts by himself, not to mention we could see Perfume doing these moves as well. Good job!

We would like to thank all the entrants for participating in our contest! Although we would have liked to give everyone a prize, there will always be more chances to win!

Perfume’s JPN album is officially released today, so don’t forget to support the girls we all love!

Introducing the International Perfume City Dance Contest! We have two prizes up for grabs, a limited edition of their next single SPICE (including a B2 size poster!) as well as a limited edition of their next album JPN! There are two ways to enter!

Entry Version #1

Since the Glitter Dance Contest was limited to only Japan, we thought it would be interesting to see what ideas the international fans have! The rules are very similar to the official Japan-only dance contest. :

1. Watch the official tutorial dance clip on YouTube. (You may extract the audio via Keep it! or another YT to mp3 source.)
2. For the parts where it does not show you how to dance, create your own choreography!
3. Submit your recorded video on to YouTube with the title “Perfume City Dance Contest: Glitter – [Name]“

Entry Version #2

This one is a free-for-all dance contest! This means you can choose ANY Perfume song to dance to. This includes medleys and remixes!

Here are some ground rules:

1. Submit your recorded video on to YouTube with the title “Perfume City Dance Contest: JPN – [Name] – [Song Title]“
2. Any & all songs being danced to MUST be a Perfume song (sorry, no mash-ups)
3. Video must be under 8 minutes, no exceptions!
4. No limit on performance members! However keep in mind that there is only one JPN album grand prize.
5. Cover must be completely new and never uploaded before! That means it has not been used for any other contest/audition/etc. Upload dates will be checked and suspected submissions will be disqualified.

The deadline for this prize will be November 24th, and then public voting will open! Polls will close November 27th and the winner will be selected!

Anyone is free to enter, regardless of country of origin! You could even do a cover of each version! Be sure to tune in to our Twitter for live updates from our dance contest.

Good luck and have fun!
