Perfume (パフューム)
I've been seeing a lot of posts recently on International Wota about this group, and I finally succumbed to curiosity. I gave them a listen, and WOW! I can see why everyone is talking about them.
Their sound is just so refreshing, it's a nice fusion of electronic and pop but with more electronic. It's quite nice to listen to because their sound isn't as repetitive as other electronic types. The beats switch from house to trance to pop. Unlike a lot of other Jpop groups, there is quite a bit of English (read not Engrish) in the songs so that's a nice touch as well.
If you like Japanese music, this is a must. Even if you just like Western electronic music, it's worth getting because it's a welcome departure. I'd recommend starting out with the GAME album. But some older singles that are good as well are Electro World and Computer City.
