There is some double meaning going on here Poly-(ポリ-) in Japanese is usually associated with plastic, and the lyrics ends with “プラスチックみたいな恋だ(the love is like plastic)”. Normal people would interpret “polyrhythm” as some plastic stuff but only musicians understand what it actually is It’s mad

Yasutaka Nakata manages to blend an absolute commercial sensibility with complexity and art. In this case, the Polyrhythm track was chosen by the Japanese government to depict a plastics recycling campaign - so that plastic word play was absolutely appreciated at the time. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fplygc-V3Mm-j3k.html

I got really into this song and group after hearing them at a house party about seven years ago. Regarding your comment in the description, I read that the higher ups did push against releasing this song, especially as a single, saying that the part was too weird and was a too long stretch without singing. The composer Yasutaka Nakata answered with "What are you talking about? There's vocals through the entire part." and this became a big breakthrough song for Perfume and Nakata's producer career.

He has over a 1000 songs written by him over the past 25 years & is the producer of Jpop artists - Perfume, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, his own electronica group Capsule & numerous other collabs, including 2016 Olympic ending cermony music for japan. DJ's like Zedd, Madeon & Porter Robinson have mentioned him as one of their main influences. I would love for you to check out more of his works... and see more breakdown from you, if anything really noteworthy of your precious time catches your ears from them... few recommends... Perfume - Dream Fighter, Edge Triangle Mix, Spice, VOICE... Capsule - 5ive star, more more more, Plastic Girl... MEG - Freak remix... Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - Tsukematsukeru... cheers !

I tried to follow your explanation. And I was doing a good job up until you started playing the song, and like always, my brain shut down. You didn't mention the bass being broken up and changing just enough to reinforce the polyrhythm. To me, that's an important part of the song. You mention "they" several times in your dialog. But, "they" in this case is Yasutaka Nakata (also writes for his own Capsule as well as KPP). The girls were a HS girl group trying to make it to "the big time" and having no success. Then one day, this song "Polyrhythm" fell out of the sky from Nakata-sensei. Strangely enough, even to this day, they do not discuss the song with him when they receive a new one. Mikiko (choreographer) also does not discuss the meaning with him. Wonderful group. Great composer and choreographer. Match made in heaven!
