I made my FIRST EVER PURCHASE OF A JPOP SINGLE tonight! Yes, I am spending $13.74 on a marvelous single… The first Jpop single I’ve ever bought myself.
And it is of…. Perfume’s Baby Cruising Love/Macaroni! This is something that goes into my collection of Japanese Musicness: my copy of Hamasaki Ayumi’s RAINBOW that I got for my 13th birthday; ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s awesome SOL-FA that my friend gave me as a gift (for no reason other than that he went to Japan and I like Japanese music); and the Polysics US release. It counts because that album is 10+ tracks of pure Japanese joy for me.
Anyway, this is my first ever Jpop purchase on my own (i.e.–with my own money, not as a gift, and not becasue I’m trying to ask someone to marry me). It’s kinda an honor for it to go to Perfume, since I was trying to decide between Hamasaki Ayumi’s GUILTY, Morning Musume’s Mikan, and C-ute’s Tokaikko Junjou. And then… well, it hit me: dude, why the hell SHOULDN’T I get the latest from Perfume? I adore the technopop trio. I have mp3s of their indies singles (I love Kareshi Boshuu Chuu or whatever).
Oh, I was also tempted to get KAT-TUN’s second album, because…. I love KAT-TUN. They are my eyecandy of choice–second only to my FAVORITE EYECANDY EVER, Shirota Yuu.
Anyway, I should be receiving Perfume’s latest soon…~ Huzzah~!
