Furik 832 Posted May 10, 2011 The Japanese electronic pop trio Perfume will have its song "Polyrhythm" featured in Disney and Pixar's upcoming American animated feature film Cars 2. The song will not only appear in the Japanese release of the film, but in the film's worldwide release including in the United States. In the film, the song will play during a party on the night before the World Grand Prix race in Japan. According to the Japanese survey firm Oricon, director John Lasseter was searching for appropriate music to represent the Japanese party scene when Pixar staff members who were fans of Perfume recommended the group. Lasseter himself is a well-known fan of Japanese popular culture, particularly of Studio Ghibli's films. Perfume's "Butterfly" was previously used to promote the Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier game for the Nintendo DS in 2008. Cars 2 will open in the United States on June 24, and in Japan on July 30. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Furik 832 Posted May 10, 2011 ^ And the song they played on American Dad was one of their shitty older songs. At least with Cars 2 they'll be playing Polyrhythm which is.. kind of still new. But i'm excited. :] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saishuu 3220 Posted May 10, 2011 I'm glad they're getting worldwide exposure with this, especially with a song like Polyrhythm. I don't expect it to be their breakthrough in the west, but it should be cool nevertheless. I haven't watched the original Cars yet due to lack of interest, but I might be checking out the new one.

Furik 832 Posted May 10, 2011 It's not that bad of a movie. It's.. kind of cute. I have a soft-spot for Pixar. Even though I wanted to hate Cars, I ended up liking it. Same with A Bug's Life and Monsters, Inc. Maybe the exposure of Japanese music in Pixar movies will lead to capsule songs in WALL-E 2 and Dir en grey in Incredibles 2. *crosses fingers* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
