How dare you.

One must not judge Perfume until AFTER one listens to Perfume, not before.

I did try to listen to the whole of the sub-2 minute song ... sorry had to click out.

In that case, maybe this one will be more to your liking:

Not as annoying as the first, at least I made it through the whole video. With the Japanese, one might assume that some of their entertainment is aimed at very young audiences, when in fact it's adults that are being targeted, and enjoy what might be considered childish by western cultures.

I would guess those girls target audience would be tween's and young teens. What an adult american male would see in it is beyond me.

Just when world events had brought me to a low point, Perfume has blessed me with a new single and lifted my spirit!

Try something mature

Anyone who has walked into a large Japanese grocery store has heard that endlessly repeating short simple music/lyrics, the kind you can't get out of your head.

Give me some real guitar, drums and mature vocals anyday over that simple repeating synthesized music.

Nope. Their fan base is primarily the 20s and 30s crowd. Need proof? Have a look at this video of the audience at their Paris concert:

See, RockSlider? This is the proper pro-Perfume attitude you need to adopt.

Are you saying that Dr. Shades would like to marry all three of them if possible?

It's more like an "overcurrent." What's the purpose of having an official J-Pop group if it isn't followed and promoted?

That was the reason for the question, because there are a variety of purposes and some purpose(s) may be veiled by other purpose(s)....and an overcurrent implies an undercurrent.

In that case, here's the undercurrent: This website's entire reason for existing is to promote awareness of, and appreciation for, Perfume. This whole Mormonism thing is just an afterthought I tacked on at the last minute on a whim.
