Perfume to release a new single in February 2017, “TOKYO GIRL”!

Perfume have announced that they will be providing the theme song to the TV drama adaption of the manga series “Tokyo Tarareba Musume”, with a brand new song, entitled “TOKYO GIRL”! They also announced that “TOKYO GIRL” will be released as the first single of their sixth album era in February 2017, with “Houseki no Ame” from the Ora2 CM featuring as a b-side.

There are no details as for the release of Atmospheric Entry/ Perfume no Okite 2016, but can be assumed (due to it being used in a tie-up for UNIQLO) it might appear as a b-side on the limited physical edition of the single, along with the usual instrumentals.



Perfume were approached to create a theme song for this series because it features three female friends, and Perfume is described as “an artist who will capture the feelings of the heroes“. Tokyo Tarareba Musume is a manga illustrated by Akiko Higashimura, the creator of the beloved Kuragehime manga. Befitting the group, her work often portrays strong female friendships.
