What makes Fan Service by Perfume notable?

“チョコレイト・ディスコ” became one of Perfume’s signature songs and a recurring fixture of Valentine’s Day playlists in Japan. It later appeared on GAME, the album that brought the group their first number-one position on Japan’s Oricon weekly album chart. Released in February 2007, Fan Service [sweet] was a CD-and-DVD single rather than a full-length album. It arrived before Perfume’s breakthrough single “Polyrhythm” and their 2008 album GAME, as the Hiroshima-born trio continued developing their electronic pop sound with producer Yasutaka Nakata.
