It is the group's first English-language single, and their second English effort since their 2008 track, "Take Me, Take Me", from their debut album ''Game''. "Spending All My Time" received favorable reviews from music critics, who commended the group's English-language attempt and praised the production and composition. The song became their seventh consecutive single to stall at number two on the Oricon Singles Chart in Japan. The track became their first charting single in Taiwan. Yusuke Tanaka directed the accompanying music video for the single, which shows Perfume dancing and making gestures in a room. Perfume have performed the song in a number of live performances throughout Japan. ==Background and composition== Japanese producer and Capsule musician Yasutaka Nakata had written, arranged and composed the song. Nakata has collaborated with all of Perfume's records and songs from 2003 onwards. It was recorded in Tokyo, Japan and was mixed and mastered by Nakata.〔 It is a dance and techno, and incorporates instrumentation from synthesizer and keyboards.〔 Writing for ''Land of Rising'', Alex Shenmue noted "'Spending all my Time' brings back the techno sounds after the dreaming atmosphere of Sleeping Beauty ()”〔 "Spending All My Time" is the group's first English-language single to date, and their second overall. A writer for ''CDJournal'' had compared the song to works by French disc jockey David Guetta and Swedish House Mafia, but called the composition “a little different,” to their previous work. Perfume had found recording English lyrics hard; member Kashiyuka explained, "'Spending all my time' is completely in English, so I struggled really hard with the pronunciation. When I’m singing along to the melody, my accent becomes more Japanese – like katakana-speak, so I’m wondering what people outside Japan will think when they hear it () Also, it’s not a particular word, but I’m interested to know which genre people will classify us in as artists."” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spending All My Time」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
