Perfume is the most famous techno-pop group in Japan.Perfume is offering a completely new live experience. Their fan base is growing worldwide as they expand their activities globally. What they are attempting is to constantly put their fans first, while using technology to create entertainment. At SXSW in March 2015, Perfume had an opportunity to perform at a venue smaller than they’ve become used to in recent years. They leveraged that, communicating with both the fans at the venue and those around the world enjoying the live broadcast, offering both amazing content and an experience completely unlike any live concert.
