- ナナナナナイロ (seven-seven-seven-seven-seven colors; a reference to the number of colors in a rainbow)
I'm nothing if not honest, so I'll admit that I'm not quite sold on this single. . . nor are many others in the Perfumesphere. People have noticed that their writer and producer, Yasutaka Nakata, has been quite experimental of late, and Perfume's music has of course been subjected to his whims, which has resulted in their newest album being considered by many to be one of if not the weakest one of theirs so far.
Perfume's members have been expressing of late that they want to try their hand at songwriting. Due to contractual obligations it all has to be done by Mr. Nakata, 'cause having co-writers would cause him to lose a huge cut of the profits.
I'm thinking that if he doesn't hurry and get over this phase and return to producing what works, it might be time for Perfume to look for another producer.
