Not voting for anything off it here, but Complete Best compilation is underrated as a Perfume album, 10/10.
Also since you added FLASH you should've added Let Me Know, what wiki calls promotional singles, ie digital singles.

ah i see. tbf almost every song on that album is good/memorable enough to be a single

xp
A lot of these I'm not familiar with but it'll be tough to find anything that beats Polyrhythm

otm even though it had 30 singles released from it already i kinda wish “my color” at least had a video

it was a little hard to figure out where to draw the line with what counts as a single so i mostly kept it to ones that had separate digital releases - Flash does but Let Me Know doesn't for some reason.

It's amazing how many different ways this sound managed to manifest itself. A huge portion of this decade comes off as reactions to the sounds of Perfume and Nakata in their prime.
Voting Fushizen na Girl.

poll made me realize "if you wanna" is super excellent among the later singles

this is was the b-side of "nee"; it got upgraded to a video to promote their first compilation. it's as good as anything on jpn imo

It's amazing the songs that get buried away on b-sides or EPs, this is better than most of the Cosmic Explorer album:

I voted 'Spice', but almost any of the songs would be OK with me winning. First time I saw Perfume live they opened with Electro World and I cried.
Spice is just total lush beauty, melancholy, comfort all in one. It was an amazing single with b-side GLITTER. Their new song "Future Pop" (not official single but with its own MV) reminds me a bit of that groove.

this is a version of 'polyrhythm' I made which goes for one extra repetition of the breakdown, using the single & the instrumental version. dj secret weapon.

"spice" is the first song i heard by perfume that really got me to notice them and seek out more of their music. i think i had heard "polyrhythm" before but didn't figure out who the group was at the time. these days i prefer "polyrhythm" so i guess that'll be my vote!
― dyl, Wednesday, 26 September 2018 02:02 (five years ago) link
for me the breakdown of "polyrhythm" is like... in the top five things that have ever happened in music
yep. esp this tokyo dome live ver which is just... unbelievable:
https://youtu.be/XzQvlKzDTz8
mmm hmm. maybe weirdly their most consistent record? I like every song on there a lot and love the way it feels a little more shibuya kei.
"sweet donuts" RULES too tbh and I love the low budget video where they're hanging out in a break room and baking, esp in contrast to the sci-fi epics they do now.
I'd vote "my color" if it were on here. since it isn't, tough choice between "electro world," "chocolate disco," "polyrhythm," and "dream fighter" for me.
hmmm.

call me basic but i still really dig 'love the world.' :) hearing the first note of that tinny synth lead always puts a smile on my face!

Almost two dozen votes. More than I expected. (I voted for "Spending All My Time.")
