In 2001, three 11-12 year old girls formed a group together in their hometown of Hiroshima. In 2002, they released two limited edition singles only in Hiroshima, called "Omajinai Perori" and "Kareshi Boshuuchuu". All three members moved to Tokyo in 2003 and became produced by capsule's Nakata Yasutaka. Between the years of 2003 and 2004, they produced "Sweet Donuts", "Monochrome Effect", and "Vitamin Drop" under the indies label "BEE-HIVE RECORDS". During that time, they performed to a one-man live three times. Because the girls were so energetic, fans acquired an appreciation for them.

On September 21, 2005, Nakata used their techno sound to become a cute technopop-style group in the near future for their major debut. It wasn't until 2007 that Perfume gained attention, when their single "Polyrhythm" became the theme song for a nationwide recycling campaign. The day of its release, it hit number #4 on the Oricon charts and #7 for the weekly ranking, making this the first time Perfume reached the top 10. Almost overnight the group became a success, and to date they have sold nearly 60,000 copies of "Polyrhythm". After that, they appeared on many shows and radio programs like HEY! HEY! HEY! MUSIC CHAMP, MUSIC STATION, and LIQUIDROOM. On December 31st, 2007, Perfume performed in a concert titled "Countdown 2008". This was by far the biggest performance in the history of the group. In February 2008, Perfume released their new single "Baby Cruising Love / Macaroni", breaking their previous record by achieving #3 on the daily and weekly charts. Since their newfound success, their album "Perfume ~Complete Best~" began to rechart despite being released two years prior.
