“Uncertain Future”

Posted on January 27, 2008 by ekuseru

Why did you decided to go to university?

A-chan: At the time (autumn 2006) our future were unsure. Anytime we might be told to go back to our hometown Hiroshima.
We were on the cliff. We didn’t think we could continue our carrier as singer ,so we decided to go. Our manager also recommended us ,saying ‘It is difficult for me to tell your future…’.

Quote from J-WAVE TOKIO HOT 100 interview (2008.01.20) via PerfumeDocs and Perfume City Articles

Bye Bye 2007!!!

Last 2007 picture from Perfume blog: Yasutaka Nakata, Toshiko Koshijima (capule), Nocchi, A-chan and Kashiyuka (Perfume). They look like a happy family all together!

I wish this year will be as successful as 2007 have been or even better for Perfume and for every fan they have around the world who enjoys their music and positivity.

This had been a good year for Perfume City, after having all the issues with my old web host service, slimjackson offered us his help and now the site can grow more than ever, and that’s exactly what it’s doing now thanks to Perfume success and thanks to all the kind people who help us with lyric translations, fan art or simply post at our BBS. For all of you,

Happy new year!

2007.09.12 – I am grateful
(by A-chan)

Truly ,truly

Truly

I am grateful to you all

Today ,Sep 12 ,”POLYRHYTHM” is on sale.

And it is no.4 in today’s daily chart.

I am happy ,so happy

that I wept repeatedly ,repeatedly.

I am grateful ,

sincerely grateful to you all

We kept singing without giving up ,and it brought us such a great news.

When we heard the news ,we were interviewed by Quick Japan (Japanese subculture magazine).

One female staff cried with us. I felt her kindness.

My mind is now filled with happiness ,so I even do not know what to do.

And I am grateful to our fans and our support staff people.

Thanks to you all.

I think we can go higher than 20th place in weekly ranking ,

And I think we may even have a chance to sing on Kouhaku Utagassen show !
