Is perfume breaking up your marriage?

Posted on by

Hello. I’m a 29 year old married man. I don’t have any children.

It’s not like I’m really big into music, but I download and listen to a lot of different kinds of music. It doesn’t matter if it is Western or Japanese and I enjoy music from any genre.

The other day, a friend of mine recommended I give perfume a listen, but although it was music that was fairly off my particular radar, I gave them a listen and really liked it. The music videos are also quite spectacular, so I really started to get into them and started to buy DVDs on Yahoo! Auctions and collect all the CDs I could.

When I recommended them to my wife, she quietly listened and said “This is some interesting music, huh?” But then, one day, I asked her over dinner, “Who is your favorite out of the three perfume girls?” She responded angrily, 『殺すぞ』 (korosu zo, “I’ll kill you.”)

I’ve been wanting to leave a record about the “Perfume Piano score book” and the Guitar tabs book “Perfume Songbook“.
Check out the Perfume Other releases updated page to know more about these piano and guitar books.

morawin.jp Budoukan special content

Music download website morawin just opened a special page for Perfume’s greatest live to date: BUDOUKaaaaaaaaaaN!!!!!

Although what you’ll find is a live report in Japanese and some photos, the point is what they have a special present for those who suscribe to their music online store (only Japan, again).

But don’t worry, you’re not missing out a precious and special Perfume good. What they’re giving as a present if you’re lucky enough to suscribe to morawin and win the raffle is this:

What’s that? A magazine holder?
Ah excuse me, that’s not a magazine holder, that’s a super cool and fashion Magazine Holder Perfume Dream Fighter™ limited edition.
(I’m sorry about the sarcasm but I can’t help it. I hate that kind of fake merchandising with printed logos.)

But if you are still in the need-of-Perfume-stuff-even-though-it’s-just-a-piece-of-junk (sorry again), you can bid for it in Yahoo Japan Auctions from a starting price as low as ¥3,000.
Go for it. 3 days left.
