If bands do not stink, they are up to a good start. One Japanese girl band took the name perfume as name. Worlds collided in Japan yesterday as the electro-pop divas of Perfume teamed up with famed atomic robot cat Doraemon (and Nobita) to help launch the latter’s new animated film, Eiga Doraemon: Nobita no Dougu Museum.
This Japanese pop girl group from Hiroshima, Japan, consisting of Ayano Ōmoto, Yuka Kashino, and Ayaka Nishiwaki. Debuted locally in 2001 and made their transition to a major label in 2005. As of January 2012, the group has released fourteen major label singles on the Tokuma Japan Communications label. They are a go to band in video games and places where video games are popular--pretty much anywhere you look.
Perfume provides the film’s theme song “Mirai no Museum”, which also doubles as the ending theme of the current Doraemon TV anime series. At the film’s preview event at Tokyo Dome City yesterday, Perfume gave their new song its first ever live performance, which you can watch below (Jump to 1:55 if you just want to see the singing and dancing, although you will miss the surreal “guy in a Doraemon suit” preamble.)
