I have little doubt that you would probably love them for their musical abilities and talent alone, I wonder how much your understanding of the Japanese language and culture, and ...

AND skills with origami.

Well I'll be damned. It looks like Perfume put on a one-off concert in August of 2021 of which I was completely unaware. A DVD / Blu-Ray of it goes on sale this coming Christmas Eve. Here's the teaser trailer:

Enjoy!

Dear Perfumaniacs:

As we all know, one of several things for which Perfume is known is their elaborate and vivacious costumes. Giving them their due, from September 09 to November 26 of this year, the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art was dedicated to, and became the:

PERFUME COSTUME MUSEUM

. . . showcasing exactly what the title implies. Here's a short video walk-through that someone kindly uploaded with some catchy music:

Here's a longer one, also showing the cool merchandise available at the end (be sure to turn the CCs on). Man, was I jealous:

I read that so successful was the exhibit that that powers-that-be have decided to take it to four other Japanese cities over the next year. So, if you missed it the first time around, you'll have more chances in 2024!

They're the same age as me.

I watched the video where they were wearing white and wings. They were standing so still. Is that their usual?

No. Watch any other video. Their usual is dancing.
