Right on. I need to listen to more Perfume.
I've actually been listening to their debut album recently, interestingly titled 'Perfume Complete Best'. Man there's some wild stuff on it. "Linear Motor Girl" is, as I've heard someone call it, some kind of dystopian future pop, and "Electro World" is rockin' greatness...one of their best songs I think.
Still, I think 'Game' or 'Level 3' is where to start, then 'Triangle' & 'JPN'. The debut is a little kooky to start with, but it's worth checking out.

Agreed. Electro World is so good. But yeah Perfume is the best.

Cyntia
Japanese ladies meshing power metal with AOR hard rock to make some of the slickest party metal I've heard in a long while. Very talented musicians, gorgeous soloing, exceptional drumming and lots of hooks. All three of their albums are cool, and I've been following them since their inception. The singer was a bit shrill during their early stages, but she's improved dramatically with each release to the point where she's quite easy on the ears, and not just the eyes.

Perfume just released a new live blu ray. 4th Tour in the Dome Tokyo. The official trailer on their youtube channel is so awesome. It's super expensive right now only coming out of Japan. Hopefully it get cheaper, it'll always be expensive period. Still worth it to me:)

I just noticed this thread! I need to look further south a little more often.
My foray into Things Japan began in the '90s. After beginning with the prog bands, I discovered the lovely psychedelic shadings of Angel'in Heavy Syrup. At the time, IV was still somewhat new, though it was fated to be the girls' final album. The first CD was still obtainable, but the third and fourth were and are, AFAIK, hopeless OOP. I eventually secured them at a substantial cost. A'iHS were a fantastic band, though, from the very note of the first album to the fade-out on the fourth. Here's "Voyage" from IV.
Another more alt-rock sounding all-girl band I like is Noodles. They're now down to a trio, but I prefer the earlier albums starting with the first one, Slow Coaster.

did not know that. I've only listened to a little bit of YMO so I'll have to explore them more thoroughly.
