Definitely true. :yes

Universal better not be, like, "here's your album (normal CD case) and here's your bag (canvas bag in separate plastic bag)." I want a big box to hold everything!

Truth be told, I'm kind of reconsidering buying the deluxe edition now: if it only comes with 12 songs and 1 PV + an alternate version, then I don't know if it's really worth it. :shrug

The bag probably won't be that great so I'm really hoping they add more to the album (either bonuses or content).

^ EXACTLY, they should put more efforts on to that album
But we still haven't see anything, so I hope the album would be as great as our expectations :yes

Now that I think about it, I wonder if the price of the deluxe edition is so much because they're going to include a concert ticket or something with it like they did with the "New Beginning..." DVD?

The difference between the limited pressing and the deluxe edition is ¥4410. If all you get for that extra ¥4410 is a bag, it better not be a cheap canvas or plastic one. :P

1:10 minute of MR.TAXI PV~ longer preview



if can't wor, how bout this ?

all the girls are so sexy!!!

is it just me...or do i see a white box. :(

new Hoot performance. it's definitely an off day for the girls as all of them sounded really bad.

^ yea..yesterday they went to Beijing..and today they got back from beijing and headed to Jeju Island directly..
wewww.. poor girls~~

freedreamer, i'm sorry, i've fixed it =))

i think it was okay, except Yuri sounded kinda tired & Yoona was lip-syncing her part

^Yoona usually does but Tiffany, Yuri, Seohyun and Soo young sounded so off.
I'm also really getting tired of them reusing the exact same outfits over and over again. They used to have at least some slight differences, but now it's just the same couple outfits recycled over and over for their Hoot performances.

they do sound kinda tired.. poor girls. but i thought this performance was kinda random too.. like i dunno to me at least.

I'm ready for them to start promoting Mr. TAXI! Hoot is almost 6 months old now.

THANKS!! THE PV looks neat. of coz...its just choreo and visuals lol

who's idea was it to ship them to Jeju island to do a song they finished promoting months ago :no ? The girls need to be in Japan, resting and preparing for their Mr.Taxi promotions.
Poor bbs sound so tired .. I winced when I heard Taeng sing D:

OMGOMG CANT WAIT FOR THEIR FIRST JAPANESE ALBUMMMMMMMM

visual dreams's MV is a whole other story :roflmao :roflmao i didnt even watch the whole thing

NOOOO The preview ended too fast for my liking. I already love this PV. :laugh MR. TAXI gets better every time I hear it. <3333333 So ready for them to start promoting it.

I agree with y'all they need to let the bbs rest, HOOT is done. That performance didn't need to nor should have happened. :no

I'm really scared/paranoid that they may not have a Mr. TAXI performance at all after seeing that KARA didn't promote their a-side of their latest Japanese single. I really, really am hoping for at least one live of MR TAXI. :(

The PV Preview is nice. I really like their taxi-coloured outfits.

FUUUUUUUUU YES! My order just shipped!!! \(^o^)/

NOOOOOOO :no
They should promote it...and don't make it the promotional track for the album since it's the only new PV they have :(
I guess they should do a ballad or more laid back PV once in awhile

My order shipped today too! I can't wait to receive it! I'm really looking forward to seeing the photobooks, seeing the RDR PV and Dance version, and hearing Mr. Taxi in full. I also want to see whose card I get (I'll be shocked if I don't get Taeyeon or Yuri as I always seem to get them). It's been hard to resist some of the leaks we've gotten but I know it's going to be worth it when I physically have the single in my hands!

well, don't wory about this. KARA didn't promote because all the lawsuit thing, not because of anything else

^really :OO but it was confirmed they would perform the song on music station and then the earthquake/tsunami happend :(

^yup, and that too :( it was a really bad time .__.

^
Oh I forgot about the lawsuit thingie :P

I hope there won't be another bad time for Japan and our singers there :yes

ohh that's a relief!

Making of Marie Claire shoot:


SPAZZING OVER CUTIE YOONA AND CUTIES TIFFANY SUNNY YURI JESSI :luv2:luv2:luv2

some scans of both deluxe edition + limited pressing photo books and pics of the singles themselves


stunning, gorgeous, flawless, as per usual. Yuri gets some extremely fierce close up shots! :love

^Cute vid!!
The booklet looks awesome!!
And I hope the photocard's all look as fierce as that Tiffany one!!

ohnoooo must resist looking... at... scans!!! Just one more day, one more day. XD

There's only two certain girls' photocards I really want but I don't want to jinx it by having any expectations. :P

I'm amazed the PV didn't come out before..I mean...it's the jpop market we are talking about. But oh well, I guess, you could say they released Run Devil Run prior to the single release date

And the dance version of MR. TAXI is here

^the choreography is AMAZING! I remember lots of people were hating on it from the preview but it's probably their most complex choreography yet.. LOVE it!

^
I agree! the choreography is AWESOME!! It's one of the most elaborate they've ever had ever since RDR imo

I feel like that was really entertaining for just the dance version of the video. Dance versions usually bore me but that one was good. I'm really loving the song more and more every time I hear it <3

i love the choreo too :luv2 :luv2 and my god they all look STUNNING!!!!! especially yuri in blonde!!!!!!!!!!!!! :luv2 :luv2

oh and seohyun is totally working it btw, i think she sounds even better than taeyeon in this .__.

The first press editions of this single come with a password to access a special site.

^cool :O

omg love the choreo (NEED TO LEARN THIS NOW OMG), the outfits .. AND EVERYONE'S HAIR !

CHOI SOOYOUNG PLEASE MARRY ME.

MV is fine, somehow their outfits reminded me of Hoot XD

omg sarah ikr sooyoung is so perfect here !!!!1

^ It's like they're making up for ****ing up her hair in Gee by bringing out all her flawlessness. IT'S TOO MUCH FOR OUR HUMAN EYES

yeah, they're black versions of the gold outfits in hoot. I would have preferred completely new ones, but can't complain since they're so hot. :P

Wow. That was really good.

I kind of hate that it makes me want this version of the PV now even though it's only on the deluxe edition. :p

Their Japanese website is updated with a Mr.TAXI/RDR layout~
http://www.girls-generation.jp/mrtaxi/index.html

new pics from the gallery:


so gorgeous :luv2. I seriously am in love with Jessica's multi-belted outfit. I wish I could pull that off, but it only looks good on women with perfect bodies like Jessica. Kana Nishino attempted to pull it off but it did not look good.

^ Great pics !
btw does anybody else thinks that Taeyeon is rocking this concept ? Her hair looks much better, and she looks so hot in the taxi outfit :luv2

^I agree! I like the hair now, and she's definitely working it. I think Taeyeon prefers the sexy/fierce concepts over the cute ones and works them so much better.

^ Yeah although Taeng's appearance suites cute songs like Oh!, but it seems like she prefers Genie and Mr.Taxi over Gee .. and it really shows :yes

lololol what did they do to Hyo's face xD well she looks funny in that pic xD
And yah Jessica's outfit is awesome, I love Taeyeon's jacket too.
I think it's impossible for Yuri to take a bad photo *.*

...do we really look at the same girl guys D: Taeyeon looks horrible with this hairstyle, she even looked better with longer version having those blonde ends and that was already bad. MV is nice, most of girls look stunning these days. And the song is quite catchy.

I've come to the conclusion it is! I downloaded like some huge 9GB collection of SNSD's live photos from soshified and looked through most of them and from every single angle, even ones you'd think would be unflattering, Yuri just looks perfect. I'm so jealous!

Lol, had the same thought. She's a beautiful girl, but that cut simply doesn't work for her.

I love the MV, but wow, how can they be this skinny (not meant in a bad way, I envy them :luv2) !!

I just watched the dance PV and wow the dance is so awesome!!! I love it!! Everything about this song is awesome!! I wish the PV was on the single, because I so need to have it!! And Hyo gets a little dance break!! Yay!! I thought her hair looked quite nice this time (what do you say love in music, you dislike a lot of Hyo's hairstyles :laugh)
They all look so gorgeous!! :luv2

^do not like her hair in the taxi outfit but it's nice in the black outfit! it seems like weird hyo-like hairstyles went to Sunny & Jessica (in the black outfits) this time lol.

I hate to say it, but Hyo's face is always funny looking :laugh

And I'm on the "not totally loving Tae's new hairstyle" side. It looks nice, but I prefer how it used to be, especially when she had it up like in the original RDR.

well her hair isn't really her fault. she mentioned in a few interviews she had to get it cut really short because most of it was so extremely damaged. if it's styled right it looks nice like in the Mr. TAXI PV, but I prefer the longer hair on her too.

For me Taeyeon looks better with the wig in the Run Devil Run PV.

:backhand

They all look great, but yeah sometimes Hyo looked weird in photoshoots... except for Marie Claire, she looks HOT :luv2

I hope the single will do well on Oricon Chart :yes

Hyo's looks generally never seem to completely work with whatever cutesy/girly theme SNSD is doing at the moment. She looks too womanly compared to the others. I think if they were to ever do a mature and sophisticated theme, she'd totally kill it.

OMG THIS IS THE CUTEST THING IN THE WORLD :



I am now convinced that Sunny is made of rainbows and sunshine :heart And lol poor Sungmin can't keep up with her XD

LOVE THE CHOREO!! and will try to pick up a bit..
i want the HD MV omg

^^ ofc my Sunny bb is made of pure sunshine and selected-handpicked rainbows LOLOLOL

I just realized Taeyeon looks kinda weird in the profile photos lol...
of course, she's still a beauty outside that photo

yay great pics !
taeng's rocking her bad hair on that pic ~

I've tried to get into their music but I only seem to like a few songs. I like their Japanese stuff but that is probably because it's Japanese versions of songs I already like.

I'm starting to like Mr. Taxi.

^ You should look into album tracks besides the one they use for promotions, and yes a bit switch to Kpop is hard for the first time (I felt that) but once you're into the groove and get to know the girls more, you'll get this whole thing :)

Have anyone posted this here?
I decide to post it in case no one haven't

The rumored price of All About Girls' Generation DVD and BD
DVD - 54000 won
bluray - 99000 won

^Some says it'll likely be like that or not far from that price range

My my SM is milking and milking and milking us fans :/

They debuted on the Oricon Daily Charts today in the #2 spot with sales of 40194. Let's hope they are #1 for the week!

^ No#2 beaten by the unexpected Jang Geun Suk lol

I hope with the our being pushed to July, they could perform their album tracks :yes aside form the Korean ones
I want live for Mistake and Snowy Wish in full so badly :(

Oh yeah, my sister asked me to post this, in case someone haven't seen it yet XD

Jang Geun Suk ? lol how random XD
anyway I'm glad they did great !

I was wondering when we would hear information about this DVD. While I'm excited about it, if it's coming out anytime near the release date of their Japanese album, I won't be able to get it anytime soon. :(

^
Ikr, I'm so excited to see the girls again but....
The bad news is it is rumored to be released in June-July interval :(

while I'm planning to buy SHINee as well :weep

With it being released so closely to the album, I'll definetely be getting it at a later time. I'm hoping though that with my birthday being in the beginning of July, I could ask for it as a birthday present.

the sales are great! and what's awesome is that they don't usually have drastic drops, so I don't think they'll have a problem crossing 100k their first week! :heart

Yeah, I've listened to some songs on their first album and I think the Gee mini album before too and I didn't care for those too much. Yeah I haven't been into Kpop much just mainly BoA.

I'll keep giving their music a try though.

^you should listen to their Hoot mini album :yes

@Amrai-chan Genie was a pretty solid minialbum. Their 2nd album too.

keep in mind that the majority of SNSD's music is cute, so if you can't get into cute songs you won't like the majority of what they put out. but there also is stuff for those who dislike their cute songs like Hoot, Wake Up, Run Devil Run, Genie, Mr. TAXI and all of their ballads.

Exactly. Even though I love SNSD, I still wouldn't say I really like the majority of their songs. Mostly just the singles, ballads, and some other album/mini tracks. When they get really cutesy like in a lot of their first album, it's definitely not my thing.

Me too, I didn't really enjoy their super cutesy songs like Be Happy or Ooh La-La! :laugh though I love things like Gee, Oh!, ETUDE, Himnae, and etc. But somehow I like ones such as Yoona's Eco Song and Jessica's Sweet Delight :love :D
I tend to love their dance ones and ballads :yes

@Amrai-chan, I agree with Noura
Hoot mini would do Good, it's quiet a solid album :)

Girls' Generation is their best song :luv2

Into The New World is my favourite song of theirs! :lech
And Star Star Star :luv2

Although I think the girls' are doing great with their single sales and chart positioning, I have to admit that I was completely blindsided by Jang Geun Suk. I hope the girls' can surpass him for the #1 spot but whether they do or not, they are doing awesome and I wish them the best in sales.

i havent seen the sales.. am i just blind and were they posted in here?? 0___0

MV is out



so practically dance version + solo shots... oh wait I should have known this.

love the MV. they're sooooooooo flawless. in love with the close ups of Yuri :love

eh .. I'm just gonna stick to the dance ver :P .. Everyone already knows how I feel about the background in the solo shots :laugh

i wish yuri's hair was blonde on the cover+ inside pics :( i need some HQ pics of her hotnessss :luv2

omg so awesome :heart:heart do you maybe know who came in on #1? just curious :P

The hot guy who was on You're Beautiful .. I forgot his name though :laugh (Not Yong~ or Hongki though)

edit: JANG GEUN SUK !
I knew that .. I think XD

^JANG GEUN SEOK!!! :luv2 :luv2 woah is he really doing that good??? :OO well YB was pretty popular in japan so i guess thats why :P even namie watched it :laugh

so happy for them. Gee is seriously one of the best k-pop songs ever created. it'll never get old~

how horribly cheap. the dance ver. would suffice but.. ugh I hate this PV so much

i like the dance and the outfits, but it's simple

I love this PV :luv2 Everyone looks so pretty!!

I have a feeling this was done by the Japanese production team. If it was SM Entertainment, I'm sure the PV will be much higher in quality. I mean, it's quite obvious Kpop MVs >>>>> Jpop MVs nowadays. :(

^I don't think so. I have never seen a high budget or extremely high quality MV come from SM. I don't care though, I just want a few minutes of entertainment with good choreography and them looking gorgeous, and they usually deliver on that.

Check out the normal version of the PV in HD!
http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=108802

Gee is great! Congrats to them :heart
