Perfume Documentary Gets Nationwide Screenings Before May 15 Release
Perfume's documentary film "Perfume 'Cold Sleep' -25 years Document-" will have early screenings across six Japanese cities on May 7, with a special premiere event featuring director Satoru Sado and comedian Daisuke Toyama on May 14.

Perfume fans will get their first chance to see the group's upcoming documentary film ahead of its official May 15 release. Six locations across JapanβHokkaido, Tokyo, Aichi, Osaka, Hiroshima, and Fukuokaβwill host simultaneous early screenings on May 7 at 6:30 PM.
The documentary, titled "Perfume 'Cold Sleep' -25 years Document-," chronicles the iconic trio's journey from their 1999 formation in Hiroshima through their announcement earlier this year that they'd enter a dormant period after 2025. The film combines footage from their final pre-hiatus concertβa two-night stand at Tokyo Dome in September 2025βwith archival material and previously unseen content spanning their entire career.
A special premiere event is set for May 14 at TOHOγ·γγγΊ Hibiya in Tokyo, featuring director Satoru Sado and Daisuke Toyama of comedy duo Grange, a known Perfume enthusiast. The screening will include a talk session following the film.
Tickets through Perfume's official fan club P.T.A. are available starting today, with general sales opening May 6 on Ticket Pia. Premiere tickets go on sale May 3 through Ticket Pia and today through P.T.A.
Simultaneously, Perfume is releasing live footage from their career on home video. Two nights of "Perfume ZO/Z5 Anniversary 'Nebula Romance'" concert performances will be screened as limited-time viewings May 12-13, with interactive elements like standing applause and cheering permitted. Tickets for those events open May 2 through multiple outlets.
Perfume's decision to enter "cold sleep" came after 20 years of dominating Japan's music scene. The trioβA~chan, Kashiyuka, and Nocchiβrose to prominence with their 2007 hit "Polyrhythm" and went on to perform at major international festivals like Coachella and SXSW. Their most recent album project, the two-part "Nebula Romance" soundtrack concept albums released in late 2024 and 2025, set the stage for their dormancy announcement.
