Messages from Perfume and the Director Taketoshi Sado
a-chan:
I am so happy for our Japan and U.S. simultaneous premiere! It's amazing!!! While I
wonder how our live documentary turned out, I am a little bit embarrassed, because our
documentary crew recorded us very closely during our tour. I'm very glad that not only
Perfume fans in Japan but also overseas can see the true Perfume in this movie. I wonder
if we could walk on the real red carpet this time, because when we walked for the Cars 2
world premiere, it was a black carpet to give the image of a racetrack. For our long
cherished red carpet, I want to walk carefully. Wow! I am so nervous! (laughs)
KASHIYUKA:
Even though I was very happy for our tour becoming a movie, I still can't believe it will
be showing in Japan and the US simultaneously. I hope that lots of people will see our
movie. I never even dreamed of the day when I can walk on the red carpet of the Tokyo
International Film Festival. I am very pleased for the three of us to walk with pride of
having been involved in this movie. Even for a short moment, I would like to enjoy the
glamorous experience of the International Film Festival!
NOCCHI:
OMG! I can't believe it! In any case, please come to see the movie! I can't wait~ ^ ^
Taketoshi Sado, Director:
To have my first directed movie to be invited to the Tokyo International Film Festival
and be shown worldwide is a supreme honor. I think if you feel touched by the real
Perfume in this movie, you will become Perfume fan for sure. So to see the real face, I
would like everyone around the world to watch this movie.
About “WE ARE Perfume -WORLD TOUR 3rd DOCUMENT”
This documentary follows Perfume on a two-month international live tour, "Perfume WORLD
TOUR 3rd.” While travelling around the globe to cities across Asia, Europe, and the United
States, audiences will see Perfume's powerful live performances and catch never before seen
behind-the-scenes footage. Witness the group's single-minded approach to their performances -

their goals for the future. This is Perfume's nonstop evolution. Their "now" is here.
During several insightful interviews, the members "Dame Dashi" will be revealed in which they

leisure time - from their excitement in Singapore's giant Merlion, to exploring New York's
Times Square, fans will witness their life-sized reactions. In addition, each member also talks
about the world tour, the group's formation, and a look back on their successful career to-date.
These exclusive interviews can only be seen in the movie.
