Perfume’s new single, Baby Cruising Love is SO a technopop ballad. I love it. It’s heavy on Kashiyuka, my favorite member (and the prettiest, in my opinion), and it’s just another great release from Perfume. I’m really hoping this gets them some more notice.
Some notes:
The opening takes forever, but after the singing begins, its really cool to watch.
I love the shadows, against that lightboard thingy; the shadowed outline thing is always a really stunning visual. The dance is just ADORABLE to say the least, but when has a Perfume dance NOT been supercute?
The whole ball of light thing–well, I guess that’s just this’s video’s apple (see the Polyrhythm PV xD). It’s not making me think of particularly inappropriate things, though, which is AWKWARD, to say the least.
I adore their outfits. Everyone gets enough solos to keep me satisfied. Perfume PVs are always very quirkly and fun, and… this doesn’t disappoint. It’s not my FAVORITE PV (that award goes to the amazing Electro World), but this is still a lot of fun to watch. I love Perfume PVs.
I wish Hello! Project would make something like this…
Oh: and the radiorip of Macaroni is just funny xDD Perfume just always keeps me guessing. I can’t wait to see a PV for this. If there is no mac and cheese, I’ll be sad.

o_O. i dunno if i’d go as far as to say that Baby Crusing Love is a “technopop ballad” – it’s just the softer side of technopop. from the slightly harder and faster electro world and twinkle snow powder snow, it’s all just technopop to me. what would you classify wonder 2 as since i find it to be a bit lighter than this…
kashiyuka ftw though all three of them have their own charm points that make them equally cute in their own ways. their personal rankings for me change from day to day.
