Perfume is a Japanese techno-pop idle group. I am a 38-year-old man, I am not attracted to them by their looks, but by their music. All of their music is composed / produced by Yasutaka Nakata. He created young, keen and easy-to-understand melodie with complex sounding arrangements. No.1, 2 and 3 are the best tracks for me in the new album.

Yuzo Kayama is a famous actor in Japan; he appeared in Akira Kurosawa films. On the other hand, he was also a talented singer-songwriter especially in the 60s. For his short autobiography appeared daily in July's newspaper the I read, I downloaded his songs from the iTunes Store. My favorite is No.5

Many of Bach's Inventions made me feel cool because of their decent melodies and clear piano sounds.

The Monkeymind You Cube Band is amateur, but I take to their album. It is the third amateur band album in which I've found attractive points in the album.
