Game is the debut studio album by Japanese girl group Perfume. It was released on April 16, 2008 by Tokuma Japan Communications.

"Polyrhythm" is a song by Perfume, released as the second single from their second album Game and 10th overall, as well as the first track on their third compilation album Love the World. Appropriately, the song's bridge is polyrhythmic, incorporating 5/8, 6/8 in the vocals, common time (4/4) and 3/2 in the drums. Tokuma Japan Communications originally requested for the bridge of the song to be removed for its atypical nature; a concession was reached by including a radio edit known as the "Extra Short Edit" on the single, which removes the bridge while the vocoded backing vocal on the near-end of the song is half-distorted. The song was used for the Kankyō Recycle Campaign by NHK. The single has two editions: a CD only version and CD+DVD version. The only difference between the CD and CD+DVD version is that the CD+DVD version features the music video.
"Love the World" is Perfume's 7th major single. It was released on July 9, 2008 and debuted at number one on the Oricon chart, becoming the first electropop song from an electropop act to do so, Yellow Magic Orchestra's song "Kimi ni, Mune Kyun" being the previous record holder at #2, twenty-five years prior. Love the World is Perfume's best-selling single in the span of their career.
