Dear Perfumaniacs,

Let's all enjoy a live Perfume performance together!

[MODERATOR NOTE: Perfume's portion of the livestream was captured, and is being hosted by, a Chinese website. So if you missed their livestream performance, you can still see it, in all its glory, at:

Thanks Shades! I'm planning to tune in. 8:00 p.m. Mountain Time is your time, correct? Just confirming since your time is my time, too. :-)

[_Dr. Shades]

Yes, that's my time zone.

[_Jersey Girl]

Yes, that's my time zone.

Okay thanks. I won't understand a word of it, but I will definitely enjoy. We'll be in the zone together tomorrow night!

Did not know Bananarama was still performing together.

That is an insanely stacked line up. I've been listening to it most of the day. Thanks for sharing, Shades. It's nice to know BABYMETAL will be on tomorrow around 2 AM here. Heh.

ETA: whoa that's weird. There's a kid on now named alec benjamin that I'm pretty sure I saw a few years ago playing at Alice Cooper's now closed sports bar Cooper's Town.

WITH MY APOLOGIES: It looks like Perfume's official site was merely telling what time the music festival itself would start, NOT what time Perfume would be on stage.

DAMN THEIR WEBSITE ADMINISTRATORS!! >:-(

According to the official website of the festival itself, Perfume will perform at 2:10 p.m., while according to the YouTube site they'll be onstage at 2:00 p.m. or later. That's all Japan time, so this means our favorite band will be on stage, and live streaming, starting from 11:10 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time, 10:10 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time.

Jersey Girl, I apologize for the confusion, although I solemnly declare that it wasn't my fault.

I'm routinely up past that time anyway, so I'll still be tuning in, but unfortunately I read a rumor that each band is only given enough time for about three songs. Sheesh!

[_Jersey Girl]

Omigosh I saw that you bumped the thread and I was afraid I was missing it because--life over here.

Thanks for the update! If I can't stay up (which I'm a night owl like you so probably will) I'm sure it will go to video and I can still watch it tomorrow!

[_Jersey Girl]

p.s. I really wanted to do it when you were doing it. I mean it.

12 minutes until Perfume!!!
