New PERFUME single: "Sayonara, Plastic World"

Dear fellow Perfumaniacs,
A brand-new single from our official Japanese electro-pop group, PERFUME, dropped yesterday. They've been appearing with remarkable frequency lately, which makes me suspect that a new album is on the horizon. For now, behold:
I'm not sure I can condone this one, 'cause it sounds like yet another offering wherein their writer/producer seems to be just "phoning it in." Where are the catchy hooks, the rockin' baselines from before? He seems to be steering them in the direction of generic J-Pop, which is NOT what made Perfume famous. Perfume is great because they are the EXCEPTION, not because they are the rule. Has their writer/producer been spending all his creative energies on Kyary Pamyu Pamyu?
