"Monochrome Effect" (モノクロームエフェクト Monokurōmu Efekuto) is the fourth single released by the Japanese techno-pop group, Perfume.
Monochrome Effect is Perfume's second single after being signed to BEE-HIVE RECORDS, and fourth overall. Since their 2005 major debut, the single has gone out of print and is incredibly hard to find. It can be found on auction sites for more than five times its original price. In February 2008, the single was re-released with a new cover and included in the "Fan Service ~Prima Box~" CD+DVD boxset.
This single reached #117 on the Oricon charts, charted for one week and sold 1,018 copies.
The song was featured in the "May the Best Stan Win" episode of the American TV show American Dad! where a future cyborg version of Stan Smith refers to it as "Japanese Funk from the future".[1] Since then, the news has hit many Japanese news sites as well as a few North American ones.
