Archive Binge: While their major label debut was in 2005, and their debut studio album was in 2008, they have plenty of songs between and before those years, being mostly singles from their Indies and Bee-Hive eras. Some of them are compiled on their debut compilation album, Complete Best.
Enforced Method Acting: Halfway through the single take video for "I still love U", the girls start grimacing and giggling, all the while still miming along to the song. The camera angle doesn't show the crew members lying on the ground giving them all foot massages.
The Pete Best: Kawayuka left not long after the group started, because she wanted to focus on her studies (all the members were still in junior high school at the time). After a consultation with her mother, who said a duo couldn't match the stage presence of a trio, A~chan asked Nocchi to join.
"Monochrome Effect" appears in the American Dad! episode "May the Best Stan Win", where Stan's future cyborg self comes back in time. While driving around with Francine, Cyborg Stan produces a CD of "future music", declaring the song to be Japanese funk. The song also plays as the episode is closing, showing Stan and Francine's skeletons happily lying together in the grave.
"Polyrhythm" was used in Cars 2 when Lightning McQueen and Mater were in a Japanese club. Perfume were invited to walk the red carpet at the premiere of the film in LA.
Perfume has the distinction of being the only Japanese band to have one of their songs used as the namesake of a character and their Stand in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run's D-I-S-C-O (pronounced Di-Su-Ko) and his Stand Chocolate Disco.note Two other characters in Steel Ball Run, Magent Magent and Wekapipo, are named after songs by Japanese hip-hop band SOUL'd OUT, but Magent Magent's Stand and Wekapipo's unique ability have western musical namesakes. Author Hirohiko Araki even decided to not have D-I-S-C-O talk that much during the arc, due to the repetitive nature of Perfume's "Chocolate Disco".
