"We’ve shot a huge amount of footage - honestly, it’s hard to even grasp how many hours that is. If I put it in data terms, it comes out to about 50 terabytes. Converting that into minutes or hours doesn’t really help and it’s still hard to imagine. Even I can’t fully picture it, but 50 terabytes… that’s a lot.”

“We originally started this project for their 20th anniversary. Filming began in 2019, starting with Coachella. At first, it was just one of several projects tied to that milestone."

“Perfume are very approachable, even with staff - they don’t create distance. There’s a genuine sense of closeness in how they communicate with people. They’re fun to be around - there’s a lot of humor in the way they talk. They naturally create a good atmosphere wherever they are.”

“Perfume always been incredibly friendly and easy to connect with. They’re bright, open, and naturally warm with the people around them. That part of them hasn’t changed at all over the years.”

“If you like someone too much, you can end up creating a fixed image of who they ‘should be’ in your mind. But artists are constantly changing and evolving, so they’re completely different from who they were five or ten years ago. They might even be different from who they were a month ago. If you don’t properly understand and capture that change, your portrayal will end up being off.”

#ShinRadio Monday

Today’s guest was film director #Taketoshi Sado! We talked about “Perfume ‘Cold Sleep’ -25 years Document-” (opening Friday, May 15) and documentary filmmaking, among many other topics!

Summary:

Director Sado met the three (members) around the time they got a hit with “Polyrhythm.” At that time, Sado was working at NHK.

He was in charge of Pop Jam and was also involved with Perfume. On February 26, 2020, they learned the event was canceled just one minute before arriving at Tokyo Dome.

The total amount of footage filmed was about 50 terabytes.

The interviewer was Director Sado himself; he interviewed the members for over two hours, and A-chan for more than three hours.

He didn’t know about the “cold sleep” concept, so the content of the filming changed as a result.

Director Sado said that when he first met them in 2007, he had never encountered an artist like them; their personalities haven’t changed since then—they were friendly and approachable.

Filming started at Coachella in 2019. The 2020 event was supposed to be the culmination they would capture on film.
