Display needs an album mix on the new one. Tbh.
i have a feeling it will
but if it doesn't it would be highly disrespectful
not to the fans but to nakata himself. if he loved himself he would make it an album mix
will they ever perform sweet refrain again tho
i think it's their most forgettable song up to date
sweet refrain's b-side is the most forgettable song up to date cuz i legit never see anyone talk about it lmao

because k-pop fans are bored of the current stale market in korea and think they're special because they like some c-pop now. followed by a few overhyped threads about PLAY + band-wagon mentality = jolin tsai queen of c-pop!!

i got into perfume when i stumbled upon their "love the world" video on youtube (that got removed like a week later)
i didn't become a stan until a lot later when they switched labels and their management wasn't anal about removing all of their material anymore

your login name has been updated

thank you~

is it possible to update my log-in details? the name i signed up with has a star and it's such a pain to keep going back on google and copy-pasting it especially since i use a shared computer so i can't leave it logged in all the time : (((

Their nationwide tours seem pretty fun too! And I hope they get to hold a concert at Nissan Stadium someday, it'd be beyond amazing.

yes i barf blood and rainbows @ their japanese tours they look so cool compared to their overseas concerts because they use more technology and stuff but their overseas concerts are nice too because they're more personal since the venues are smaller
i'm surprised at people who went to their level3 dome tours and can still walk. i'd need a wheelchair. bless perfume.
bless their light.

So that's the thing. If I was only attracted to white people and stayed in the proximity of people alike myself, like my friends do, then I would be normal. No "fetish" because I prefer someone that's not the majority and not promoted by society as desirable would exist, lmao... I mean, I would far prefer being normal, as I'm pretty weak. Other than that, I have seen these fetishes in action and they can be disturbing (any fetish to be honest), but I don't think they can apply to many people at all.
That's not the thing though, as people are well aware of the abundant differences, as displayed through how they aren't attracted to every single one of them in the group of people. This same argument can however, be applied to any basis... so it doesn't even matter what basis it's on... the previous user said people look different in various parts of NEA. So what about those particular ethnicities? The same logic applies.
To me it's just an application of a generalisation. Generalisations allow us to condense a whole bunch of information, of course, usually stereotypical, into one. In this scenario, the common trait is that they are ALL a part of that race (this doesn't mean they share the same features). So when does it become racist and problematic? Well, I guess that usually depends on how far your head is up your ass (not literally you).
It's like when someone says they like tall guys and would only date someone taller than them, it doesn't mean they're attracted to all of them. It's a similar application of generalisations in order to present their feelings and preferences conveniently. Are they accurate? Most likely not. It's also most likely that they won't be sitting down and explaining their preferences. But it's only offensive and problematic when you want to make it so (people love negativity), in most scenarios.
We could all basically say that our preferences are subjective and dependent on the person in front of us, which is true... but when I'm only ever attracted to Asian men and African woman, I will generise those as racial preferences (of course I never say that - it's internal).
Anyway, as long as I know where I stand and feel regarding this, I don't really care.

Anyway... welcome! Mention that you want to be added to the list if you wish and you'll be added when OP sees~
i get what you're saying. i don't care if people are attracted to some races over others, i was just pointing out how having ~racial preferences~ can be seen as "problematic" when they cross a certain line
fuck that "i'm attracted to people by their personality not their race!" PC bullshit tho cuz i don't swing that way. i love latinos idgaf if people call me a fetishist lmao

considering a dude from a Japanese TV program interviewed you, I think you'll be on tv

unlike me, the person who went and got 2nd balcony

eeeeeeek
your view was nice, no? the VIP section at my venue was on top too
-
omg i'm so sad they're not showing any clips from the L.A show!!!!! i wanna see myself in the crowd =)
-
racial preferences have always been iffy af, because they very easily turn into fetishization of a group of people and it's border-line racist since you're literally grouping a WHOLE GROUP OF PEOPLE into one category by their race based on what you perceive that race to be like/look like
i know this one guy irl who says he's mostly attracted to white girls because he likes their features and i'm like.. ok???? what features do all white girls have in common tho???? they don't all have the same hair color or hair type, they don't all have the same eye color, they don't all have the same skin tone, height, facial structure, body type etc..
so yeah i can deff see why having racial preferences is problematic
edit oh hi this is my first post in here btw

Dude did you get merch? I got a lot of it and the line was terrible I swear I was being crushed by EVERYONE
no i didn't
i was originally planning on buying a shirt and the beanie but when i went towards the entrance one of the employees was like "the line starts on the other end" and it was soooo long and the whole place was crowded so i was was like fuck it i'll just buy it online -
oh and when they were performing spring of life (the 2nd song) i wanted the concert to be over because the music was SOOOO LOUD and my ears were hurting lmao but during one room disco i got used to it and i got my life
Achan talks about showers in LA, and then bagels in NY

Oh Achan
i love her so much she's like a pink sparkly unicorn cupcake princess in human form.

the L.A show was so much fun!!!!!!! enter the sphere was the first song they performed and when the screen lifted up i honestly couldn't believe i was seeing them in person i was in awe. i went to the venue and waited in line since about 8 AM and almost died cuz it was so hot but it was worth it in the end because i was really really close to the stage. UGH and it was so crowded and hot during the concert and people kept shoving :((( but i wanna go back in time to experience it again because i don't remember like half the concert cuz i was too excited during the show lol
a-chan talked about american showers and fahrenheit and celcius and she was soooo cute and funny!! i'm also really glad they performed FAKE IT during the encore because it was the song i was looking forward to the most to be performed live
OH AND the perfume staff interviewed me at the end of the show with their camera and they asked me what i thought about the show and to give the girls a personal message and i was like "THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING I LOVE YOU SO MUCH CONTINUE TO SPREAD LOVE AND JOY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH" i was so spazzy
oh and on a semi-related note i love los angeles i wanna move there forever
))))))-

the display performance saved my life and created me. the moment the chorus hit, i was conceived by alla-chan, nocchrist and kashiyehova. i will inherit their traits and DNA, but will i also inherit their thirst for blood?
