Perfume's final live performance before their hiatus: a concert encapsulating 25 years of their career, showcasing "who they are today" in a way only possible at the Tokyo Dome.

The announcement that the concert was nearing its end was met with enthusiastic cheers from the audience. To A-chan's call, "Let's give it our all now!", the audience responded with full energy. When she shouted "DJ Yasutaka Nakata!", the song "NIGHT FLIGHT" began playing. As the music transitioned, A-chan signaled the audience, saying "Ready…go!". The fans all raised their right hands above their heads and danced together to "MY COLOR". This version of "MY COLOR" was truly a unique remix. It incorporated elements of songs like "Baby Cruising Love" and "Linear Motor Girl," creating an incredibly emotional and memorable performance for that special night.

Perfume no Okite 2025

The three members reappeared on the main stage, and as the intro began to play, a thunderous cheer erupted. It was “Perfume no Okite 2025,” a song that has been passed down through their most important live shows. When the words “MUSIC BY YASUTAKA NAKATA” lit up on the screen, the crowd roared even louder.

At the side of the stage stood a set decorated with the numbers “12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25,” an homage to their very first Tokyo Dome concert in 2010, “1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11.”

There were ten Kashiyukas, A~chan shooting down balloons, and Nocchi performing the choreography of fourteen singles in rapid succession. On the screen, footage of the three from fifteen years ago appeared, bringing back the emotions of that time.

Perfume, the three-member technopop unit, held concerts on February 15 and 16 at Tokyo's Ariake Arena. The events attracted numerous celebrities, including singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, comedian Haruna Kondo, and actress Shoko Nakagawa, who shared their experiences on social media. Notably, politician Taro Kono attended the concert wearing Perfume merchandise, surprising many fans. Kono's enthusiastic participation, including cheering during the performance, garnered significant attention online. The tour, promoting their concept album "Nebula Romance Part 1," will continue across various cities, concluding on April 20 in Chiba.

The Unexpected Guest That Went Viral

However, the biggest surprise on social media was the unexpected presence of a politician. On February 16, photos surfaced online showing Taro Kono, a senior member of the Liberal Democratic Party, attending the concert while wearing Perfume merchandise. Some users also posted about how Kono was enthusiastically cheering during the show, which led to reactions of shock and amusement. Responding to the buzz, Kono himself commented, "Decoy No. 3," adding to the online excitement. He also posted a picture of the special color-coded card distributed exclusively to attendees, hinting at his participation by stating, "Mine was cyan."

Kono attended the concert wearing a towel from the current tour, combined with a wristband from Perfume's 2022 tour, creatively styled like a necktie. When his unique fashion choice drew attention, he responded with a quote repost, saying, "Boy Scouts used to fasten their neckerchiefs like this, right?"
