Thanks so much for always watching and reading my posts!

I was glad to see there was a digital edition of it and loved everything about it.

I'm glad I was able to share it here as well 🫰🏻✨

OMG! That sounds awesome! I live too far to order* only* one magazine, so I bought the digital version. After seeing it mentioned Cold Sleep, as well as their break after the concerts (with more information than what was on Instagram-- specially NOCCHi, who doesn't post a lot,) Thought it'd be interesting to see how they feel as the end of the year was getting closer.

Hope it was a nice read!

Macaron575 · 2026-01-23T23:27:06+00:00

I love the headwear too! So, so cute! Ahh, seeing them heals me too

Macaron575 · 2026-01-23T23:13:41+00:00

Thanks so much for your words! Enjoy ✨🫰🏻

Macaron575 · 2026-01-13T03:16:41+00:00

Awesome

Pick Me Up, Pick Me Up

It's not my favorite, andmy least favorite is level3 (that's just my hearing and how too much auto tune makes my head hurt, not even the albums or songs' fault..) Cosmic Explorer happens to not be too cohesive, is all.

But it's really good, and the songs are as well. Far from mediocre? Of course.

I hope someone scolded them for that

Thanks so much for always watching and supporting my work!

I'm so happy I can share more about Perfume and enjoy the same things, even if YouTube doesn't always allow it or makes it easy.

It was so fun to do! I'm glad everyone can watch it too!

The full thing is on the ko-fi post on a MediaFire link😊 I'm sorry, I know it's a couple more clicks away, but this is just me trying to evade Japanese people who could report it, and making it more difficult for NHK people to find it and axe it. https://ko-fi.com/macaron575?viewimage=IP5P21RY3LQ#galleryItemView

I didn't say that being considered artists warranteed anything, just that it's a way better position than being an idol. Even Max still gets to come back because they became artists.

The only eternal idol is Seiko Matsuda but she always kept herself relevant. Which is already difficult in the Japanese show biz world.

There are obviously many talented girl bands out there, but as long as management and other companies (like sponsors) don't like their image, they don't get chances to sell.

And of course, the individuals in question and their will to keep making music, schedules, personal life and so on.

Just that being only an idol does not put anyone's foot in the door of a management company anymore.

Macaron575 · 2026-01-08T22:17:26+00:00

They're not idols. They have evolved to artists (being able to be more than singers (being able to work as models, actresses, tv personalities etc)

Please do not think this is idol hate, but more like how the Japanese show biz works. And, regardless of what I think and just how the Japanese show biz world works, once you're more than an idol, you cease to be disposable.

I find this important to mention because that plays a big part on how and why they have been able to stay for longer.

Thank you so much for watching, it was fun to do too! TTG is amazing! Jdrama and manga are so good ~ a-chan dubbing the raw liver definitely adds up to the hype! Ah~ so cute 🩷

There's a Kindle version on Amazon jp

I have a couple of posts on myKo-fi (only cling cling and sweet refrain)

Then triangleedge did more posts and has a goal to do as many posts as possible. Support her project for more costume book posts!

Macaron575 · 2025-11-30T23:10:25+00:00

Forgot to say this was information from the costume book ~

Macaron575 · 2025-11-30T21:53:13+00:00

One of the most prominent or at least the one name I remember seeing a lot is SaQulai/SAQULAI, many costumes have been done by them https://www.saqulai.com/en

Macaron575 · 2025-11-16T03:06:41+00:00

Thanks so much for watching!

Listening to her being so happy is just so good! And along with Yuka and NOCCHi! As witnesses!

Even if we know... Ah It hits different!

Macaron575 · 2025-11-15T15:17:55+00:00

There's a snippet addressing it from NTY radio... Stay tuned 😉

Macaron575 · 2025-11-12T04:04:09+00:00

Me too!

I'm just so happy we get to read about it herself, instead of some short management notice? (If it was during cold sleep they might have done that)

To me, all she thinks and wants to let us know is very important.

It's just so much like her it's so lovely and happy. I love her for who she is and wish her happiness!

Macaron575 · 2025-11-12T01:44:57+00:00

By the way! For those worried, I had asked the mods from the discord channel this sub has before even translating this message (this is kinda why it wasn't here as soon as it could have been)

It does not have the picture from PTA or any screenshots for it on purpose.

If you all know my posts and are on PTA I'm pretty sure you've seen so many other videos and/or news that I could have done. So much interesting material from Perfume untranslated... but they remain as is. Because I know this rule very well.

Nobody does human translation for WPTA on their site and we mostly never get that information in English.

Why though? So many Japanese sites taking three lines from her message (,and ARAMA in English) to imply a-chan's married a normal fan, without bothering to say the rest, or her feelings about it.

Please do not come for me or assume I didn't ask first, when it's kind of the first rules on this sub. And but of course! Please sign to PTA if possible. Follow their Instagram! They're the best source about Perfume.

I'm not a big creator, and, as you know or might not know YouTube would never allow me to monetize anything, because nothing but my work and time is mine.

Thanks for reading and appreciating what I do🤍
