Interviews with related parties were also conducted. Thai promoter Noon cited “fan service” as a great thing about Perfume. What was it like at the live show in Taiwan, which Noon also attended, that made you think, “I’ve never seen a show like this before?” Kara, who was in charge of PR when Perfume became the first female J-Pop artist to perform at Coachella, one of the world’s largest music festivals, in 2019 commented, “It was a magical night.” .
In addition, Perfume answered questions such as “What is your favorite pose?” and “If you could only eat one type of fruit for the rest of your life, what would it be?” while also asking fans a reverse question. The question was, “What do you look at in Perfume during live performances?” After hearing from a fan who answered “muscles”, he also talked about what he takes care to keep in shape. What is that mindset?
