K: Just 2 months and bit.
A: It’s really close isn’t it?
N, K: It is.
Look back on Perfume in 2000
N: First of all, the year that Perfume was formed.
K: Tonight, We flash back 2000.
A: Yes, it was the year we form Perfume in Hiroshima.

3. N: How old were we at that time? Were we at the 6th grade of elementary school?
K: Yeah, we we’re 11 or 12 years old.
N: 11 or 12･･･. Oh, I got it.
K: At that time, Nocchi, you were not in Perfume, were you?
N: No, I wasn’t. Not yet.
K: A-chan, I and the other girl formed Perfume on that year.
N: you two already had been the member of Perfume from that time.
K: Yes, we had started being the Perfume member from this year.
N: How was it like being a Perfume?
N: I mean, A-chan and Kashiyuka wanted to form group but couldn’t.
N: you were made to form group with other people.
K: At first, we couldn’t.
N: And finally you were able to set up group. And the name of the group was different
wasn’t it?
A: YAY!
K: Yuka, Ayaka, Yuka!
A: There were two Yuka in that group.
N: So, was it like your long-planned desire came true?
K: I’m not sure･･･ But it Should be.
A: I think so. I was really happy.

4. A: But at that time, quartet was prevalent, you know?
N: Yeah, SPEED was so popular at that time.
A: So, we thought we should ask someone to join us to make quartet.
A: So, I offered to Matsusaya to join us. Matsusaya is･･･
N: Our friend at same age.
A: Yeah, she always had been my partner.
A: But when I asked her, she was like “Oh, sorry, I already decided to join other group.”
N: With other people?
A: So, My offer was turned down like that.
A: That’s why we started with three.
N: It might have been YAYS then!
A: With Sayaka, it might have been so.
A: Anyway, We started as trio like this.
A: And since we had started, our moms put so much effort on us.
A: So, I was really happy when we could finally form Perfume, I guess.
N: So, how did you choose what to play?
N: You sang songs like song of Actors school in Okinawa and so on.
K: We played “Love & Smile” at first.
N: I really remember you performing that song!
A: I still remember the dance of that song.
N: I remember the dance, too!
A: LOL! Why?
N: I remembered your choreograph watching you dance. Then I danced, too.

5. A: We still can dance it!
A: It really brings back our memories…
A: We practiced that song so much.
A: We practiced it hours and hours everyday for couple of months.
K: We did practice it so much.
A: We were practicing only one song that much…
K: I don't think I can do that now.
A: Me neither, it was really hard practice we went through.
N: You were synchronizing perfectly.
K: Power of our moms, wasn’t it?
A: That’s right. We have to thank them a lot.
N: That was a something extraordinary. I really think so.
A: Yeah, I think that we have to recall that effort now.
K: Oh, it’s time to recall?
A: We should, you know.
A: A lot of people say that our dance is amazing, and it’s our honor to be said that.
A: But we don’t practice as hard as we did at that time, don’t we?
N: No, we don’t.
K: Yeah, we have to practice harder and harder.
A: Yes! For the Tokyo Dome concert!

6. K: … And what did you do at that time, Nocchi?
N: Oh, me?
N: Well, hen I was 6th grade… Then I think I was…
A: You were with Mariko, weren’t you?
N: Oh yes! At that time, I should be in a six-man group named Happy-Baby.
N: And in that group, we sang “Long way home” of Speed.
N: Yes, that's it. We played that song.
N: And I don’t remember exactly when it was,
N: But I also went to audition with Yuka, another member of Perfume.
A: Yeah, you sang the song used in the TV drama
N: Yes, we sang “Ai wo kudasai” of ZOO.
N: And I also danced Morning Musume with a large group.
N: So, I was kind of like wandering about.
K: Yeah, you were wanderer.
A: But it was ordinary thing in the school, wasn’t it?
N: Yes, it was. It was rare to keep on performing in a same group.
N: Perfume was a rare case.
N: So, I was wandering about.
K: At this time, have you known each other? A-chan, Nocchi?
A: I think we knew each other till that time.
A: We were in a same group when we played SPEED-medley.
K: So, you knew Nocchi.
A: Yes, I did.
K: I had seen Happy-Baby. playing in a Hiroshima Flower Festival.
K: For me, Nocchi was one of them.
K: So, at that time, I didn’t know Nocchi well.

7. A: Ah… that 5 girls in class B.
A: They were the elites. Totally different from us who were in class D.
K: In a red costume!
A: The shinning 5 girls!
N: Yeah, we wore red costumes.
A: they took all the glories on the stage!
K: What a great singer!
A: When they did Speed-medley, Nocchi sang the best part of “White Love” all alone.
N: And my face after singing that part! LOL!
K: Yeah, the smug look! LOL!
N: I had laughed when I saw it on video.
A: But you were so cute. Looks like split pea. LOL!
K: But it’s right thing.
K: Winning that part was something you should be proud of, you know?
A: Yeah, You were the shinning star, Nocchi!
K: So, on this year I had not known Nocchi, because you were not joining in Perfume.
N: No, I wasn’t. I saw you two as Perfume, and you guys saw me as a member of
Happy-Baby.
A: So, what would happen in 2001? You all have to wait for the next week to know that!
A,N,K: You’ve got to listen next week as well!
