Why not, it's so good :giveup: And the b-side is good too

Because Amazon Japan is still like "we cannot ship this to your country" and I'm too lazy to look for another place to buy it :emma:

Please tell me that elevator is not real? 
I would seriously like... die if I had to go on it... I have a fear of them for some reason. :emma: I always take the stairs :smh:

I was seriously feeling so sick going 1/2 way up the Shard in London and you couldn't even see outside, it just took forever :flop:

:omg: I can now order it... I guess they released the details of the pre-order bonus lol.

Oh, it's a poster - Amazon doesn't do posters so I guess that's why they're now allowing international orders.

I don't even think that's a real building :emma: Look how it towers over everything at 0:21

The tallest buildings in Tokyo don't look like that building. I mean, I don't THINK it's the Skytree, but you don't get that good a look at it.

Oh good... :sweat: It looks like a really small elevator too (it feels so odd calling them "elevators" :emma: in the UK we call them "lifts" :emma:)

I also thought initially it was um... the Eiffel Tower... despite the song being called "TOKYO Girl" :facepalm:

I mean the elevators are DEFINITELY not real, I was just wondering if they were edited into an actual building. But no, definitely not

Also the camera man would have to be, like, in a helicopter flying up while the elevator was rising :emma::emma: 

And I thought that too :lmao: then I recognized it

:giveup::giveup: The song is so good. And they're wearing the outfits

I really wanna see what it's leading to, I  bet all the people hold up those light-up pyramids in a special design or something

Any idea when the full thing will be released? (I know nothing about J-Pop but I like this:emma: )

The release date is February 8 or 11, but you can hear the whole song here: http://hirame-kisho.tumblr.com/post/155945370183

Edit: actually it's February 15 :emma: I think I'm thinking of Cross Gene and... something else :huh:

Amazon Japan said 15th, yeah.

I just assumed it was a drone filming them :sweat: I seen iJustine's video about her drone in "follow me" mode or something, so assumed it was something similar :emma:

Red Velvet was growing on me, but this song is tragic.
They'll probably kill the choreo live, but I'm afraid I'll have to watch the performances without audio.

thanks! But is the MV released at the same time à la k-pop or later à l'americaine?

With JPop it depends, they're not all the same. A lot of the time the video's released before the song to build buzz before it goes on sale (so with the new Perfume song, I'm sure the whole video is done, it's just hard to find full-length JPop music videos online cuz they're crazy about piracy). Sometimes it's right with the song release like KPop. Sometimes they release a bunch of music videos around the album drop, which I think is what Namie Amuro did with the "_genic" album. 

I think for all of those options, the intention is to have a really high opening week/month, rather than longevity. The charts turn over pretty rapidly in Japan and it's rare to have an artist topping the chart for many weeks in a row. As a result, the Japanese artists I follow don't usually milk their album eras for as long as American pop stars do. But they don't usually have just one single for an entire album like KPop groups do, either. They're kinda in between.
