Perfume is a Japanese girl group consisting of Nocchi, Kashiyuka, and A-chan. The group formed in 2000 in Hiroshima, Japan, then moved three years later to Tokyo, where they worked with producer Yasutaka Nakata, who created a technopop identity for the group. Their performances are noted for their choreography and incorporation of technology with futuristic imagery, and Perfume has emerged as one of the most successful Japanese girl groups. After a slew of indie singles, Perfume made their major label debut with "Linear Motor Girl" on Tokuma Japan in 2005. Their early releases, including Perfume: Complete Best, were met with modest commercial reception, before a breakthrough in 2007 with the single "Polyrhythm". Their debut studio album, Game, began a streak of nine consecutive number-one albums. Perfume's next album, Triangle, produced the number-one singles "Love the World" and "One Room Disco". Perfume's early music was marked by a post-Shibuya-kei sound; the group later moved towards contemporary electronic dance music, incorporating elements of bitpop, techno, and house music. The group is known for heavily processed vocals with autotune and vocoders.
