The deluxe edition is now sold out on CDJapan. It is still available at YesAsia but at the rate it's selling, who knows how much longer it's going to be before they are sold out of their preorders for the deluxe edition as well. The preorder links haven't even been up for two days and they're gone (take that SNSD-haters, lol). I panicked and preordered it at YesAsia a couple of minutes ago. If I change my mind, I'll just cancel it or I might sell my Korean version if the Japanese version is really similiar to it. Either way, I'm super excited about their success in Japan.

I don't know.. I think I'll pass. if they were in Japanese I'd get one.

Yay! I knew there'd be a SNSD release in December (was hoping it'd be Into the New World but this is just as good if not better). :heart

Just placed my order for the Limited Edition. I'm not bummed about missing out on the deluxe at all, ten extra bucks JUST for ONE live? :-/ But now I don't feel bad about not getting the Korean mini album yet, I'll just support their Japan endeavors. But I probably still will get the original mini eventually just for the poster and photocard. XD

that chicken cf! :heart
@sarah : adorable dubu gif! xD

and the shibuya 109 promotion is so cool omg it makes me proud that the girls are doing damn good in Japan :heart

2 things popped in my mind seeing Japan release of Hoot1
-They release the same day with Ayu I wonder if UMJ planned this :innocent
-The bonus tracks are meh :laugh

They're doing great in Japan :yes and I do hope they will release original material soon :heart

Nah, 12/22 seems to be just a day when a lot of winter albums are releasing. It's a few days before Christmas so it ensures that people will be gifting these and sales will be decent.

SNSD IS APPEARING IN MUSIC STATION SUPER LIVE 2010
TV Asahi December 24, 2010 (Friday) 19:00~23:00 (7pm~10:10pm)


omggg:heart ayu, kara, snsd in the same program:heart

^ OMG I CAN'T WAIT. I'm sure KARA and SNSD are excited to actually be in the same room as the queen of J-pop too!!

OMFG
I JUST READ THIS FROM BILLBOARD

let it be TRUEEE

taken form here

^ cool! ahh I really really hope their Japanese album isn't mostly full of remakes of their korean songs.

me too ._. because i need new songs already XD

^ lol I know Hoot isn't that old but I've played the mini so much it feels like it was released a year ago already :laugh now I really want new SNSD stuff too.

Awesome!

I hope for Europe then NA debut, I want an Engrish album! omgomgomg I know people want new songs but I want English versions of Genie and Girls' Generation so baaad. :luv2

I was thinking.. if only they all knew English they would probably be successful here with English versions of songs like Genie, Run Devil Run, and Wake Up. their sexy image could definitely sell.. and they're actually really good dancers. it's just the English skills of 7 of them really would need to improve.

+1 Genie (English version)
Woww, i really want at least one more japanese single before the album

Definitely. I think their "cute" image could do well also since we're not exactly used to cute and sweet artists over here, people could see it as something refreshing. Plus while Gee and Oh! may be considered cute, they're incredibly strong and catchy pop tracks.

I would just love to see the US audience's reaction just to the sheer number of members and... those legs. :luv2 It'd be fun explaining them to my mom and friends that don't listen to Asian music lol.
