SMTown Live in Paris Confirmed for June 10
SM Entertainment is going to Europe and they are holding a concert in France, Paris for the first time.

SM revealed on the 20th, "SMTown World Tour that's has been held in Seoul, LA, Tokyo, Shanghai, etc, will also be held in 'Le Zenith de Paris', which is located in France, Paris, on June 10th. They plan to meet the music fans in Paris".

SM Entertainment is first Korean entertainment company to hold a joint concert in Europe.

The venue that the concert will be held in, 'Le Zenith de Paris', is also famous as a stage that world star singers like Ne-Yo, PCD, and the Jonas Brothers have performed in.

The SM artists that will participate in Paris performance include: TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls' Generation, SHINee, and f(x) are the leaders of the K-pop sensation in Europe. Because it's the first performance that popular K-pop singers will be holding in Paris, this will gain attention from music fans from Europe.

Also, last January, France TV Channel 2TV reported the hHallyu sensation with SM artists mainly.

SM Entertainment revealed that, "Through this Paris performance, and through Asia, they plan to broaden their activities to US and Europe, and have artists participating in global activities by using a variety of networking".

u must convince ur friend to go! U MUSTTTT

I ALREADY HAVE THE PLANE TICKET AND THE HOTEL :roflmao oh god, bye bye money ~ ALL I NEED IS TO KNOW WHEN THE TICKETS WILL BE OUT

^yeah i just read it ;___; i wonder if trax will come too..

OMG SO JELLY RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! i hope we'll get all the info soon!!!

^i hope sooo!!!!!!!!!:laugh
I NEED TO BUY MY TICKET OF THE CONCERT!!! SO I FINALLY SAY IM GOING TO WATCH 9GODDESS

fanny pic is stunning:thud

oh nails?! YES YES YES! :laugh u have to do it :laugh

^^ They're wearing it classy and fierce simply <3
Loving what Fany, Sunny and Sooyoung wear! :heart

when I went, the ticket prices ranged from $40-180. The $40 ones were farthest from the stage, then the $80 ones were second farthest, then $120 ones were second closest and the $180 ones were closest to the stage.
but even though $180 is a lot, I think it would be worth it because if you can get seats in time, you'll save a lot of money since I saw people reselling those tickets for 500-1000 dollars on ebay after they got sold out.

^0____________0 those prices... do you know if you can see anything if you get the 40$ ticket? my friend once went to a concert and she couldnt even see the stage D:

thanks for the infos though :heart

^^ wow ._. thanks
i think i'll get the second closest one:roflmao

^i think i will too.. 55 euro is acceptable right :laugh i still have to see with what i'll be going to paris.. isnt train cheaper than plane??

^well, it depends, you can find some really cheap flights if you buy them fast:laugh like me, just 40€, that's pretty cheap

But train can be around ... well, dunno:laugh it deppends on where you live XD

well, the 40 dollar seats just looked SOO far away. I got the $80 ones and my seats were fine. When they came to the far end of the stage I could see them the best from my seat. I got nice views of Sunny, Yuri, & Tiffany when they came to the far end of the stage~ and then some boy band members that just looked soo short lol. If they come again to LA I really want to get better seats though to see them even more close up. also I have some advice if you go.. bring your camera and try to take as many pics/videos as possible! one thing I regretted afterward was not having a lot of pictures/videos of the concert. I just had a couple and a couple LQ fancams. you'll want to relive the night over and over again and it's more fun to look at your own pictures & videos etc as proof you were there and not other fancams/pics. :yes

^
i hope it wont be higher 0_0
woah sounds awesome!!! yup i'll definitely bring my camera with me :laugh i wonder if i'll be able to take pictures though, too much excitement going on!! xD
thanksss :heart:heart

i'll sure bring my camera XD i'll take a lot of pics if i remember :roflmao

Mr. TAXI PV PREVIEW!!!!!!!!!!

THE CHOREOGRAPHY LOL! So cute!!

Does anyone have the Mr. Taxi promo cd-rip they can upload for me?

I was unable to extract it from the zip file in the downloads section.

I just need Mr. Taxi, just this song, upload to mediafire, thanks in advance! :)

omg why do their Japanese mvs always have cheap/tacky sets like that :roflmao .. JUST LOOK AT THE BG IN THE SOLO SHOTS. THE HORROR.
~~kinda makes me wish there was a Korean version so we could see it in all that glossy glory~~

Love the black and yellow outfits and the choreo though :heart

^^i dont think the single is released yet, so no cd-rip~

OMG LOVE THEIR OUTFITSSSS :luv2 but i agree with sarah.. it looks soooo cheap :roflmao

Background in the solo shots looks fine imo...

So nothing amazing, just dancing with the "special" background and solo shots. Hm maybe as expected. Yuri looks good in blonde imo, though I miss Black Pearl.

This isn't really directed at anyone here but reading other comments on the video preview.. I really don't know what some people were expecting. They have much cheaper looking videos than this and it didn't seem like people pointed it out or had a problem with it as much as they do here. The solo backgrounds are fine.. anyone remember the ultra cheap ones in the Hoot MV? At least these ones look nice. Outfits are great and fit the song & so is the choreography. The majority of their MV's are just dance MV's + close ups like this and it's probably not going to change so people should just get used to it. Anyway, I really hope they will have lots of lives of this song in those cute outfits!

longer & better quality preview!

o_O But the download is in the download section already.

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...highlight=Taxi

I also posted my request in this thread, but nobody replied.

The dance is gonna be a sensation :p...and omg I love Yuri in brown!

NEED A GIF OF 00:29-00:31 RITE NOW SOOYOUNG OMG~ :luv2 And as usual with this group, LOVE LOVE the dance.

I agree with love in music, their MV's are pretty much simple dance shot/close up shot. The only real diverse one was Oh! So people shouldn't really expect much from that department, except fab outfits and awesome choreography. :yes I personally think the Japanese MV's have had the nicer backdrops so far though. :P

ooo their outfits are great!!
SO is this PV going to be on the single? I really hope so ;____;

This video is gonna rock. I can already tell. <3

kyaaa i'mm loving the PV preview already!
the girls look so fine <3
and i think it's the sexiest dance move that i ever seen the girls dance to..of course it's the classy sexy of our dear SNSD <3
can't wait for fullversion!

I don't think so. The tracklists still only have just RDR on the DVD's. ;__; Which makes ZERO sense. RDR, the song and PV are a remake and it is the secondary A-side, why put it's video on the single instead of a completely NEW PV to the MAIN A-side which is an ORIGINAL song. :grumpy Not understanding the logic at all.

^ heh really?
isn't MR.TAXI'S PV going to be on the single DVD too?
coz Mr.Taxi is the main song for this single right?

nope Leny MR. TAXI's PV will NOT be on the single's DVD, although the PV has already been shot. On the DVD is only Run Devil Run

yeah, weird how there's no Mr. TAXI PV on the DVD.
the full MR. TAXI PV should air in the next few days though ^_^

i can't wait for the full PV !!!
they looks so hot, specially Sooyoung, omg with long hair she is stunning

Woohoo! My CDJ order for the limited pressing and limited edition versions of the single is currently in the shipping process! Can't wait to get them! :)

^Ah my copy is too!! :vbhappy

So is mine... yayyyy!! :D

yup, it looks cheap but the girls are really beautiful :3

OMGOMG SOOYOUNG AND YURI'S HAIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR *____________*

oh and i have a feeling the mr.taxi PV will be on their first japanese album~

There seems to always be a budget for J-Kpop lol...I wonder why Japanese PVs and Covers can be as conceptual as K-Pop wans sometimes. Of course, this statement doesnt apply to all J-Pop artistes :)

^^ wow.. lol. then do you think the Visual Dreams MV looks cool too?

I almost didn't recognize Yuri at first as a blonde!

NEW SPAO CM - SNSD PROMOTING FELIX SHIRTS~

this is the cutest thing I have seen in a long time!! I want one!

i hate how they never put any hyoyeon shots in these videos!

PV looks so much better in better quality. I love they're wearing themed outfits! Sooyoung is absolutely stunning! And blonde suits on Yuri well, you won't make me change my mind.

it looks better with the HQ .. but still not feeling the blond on Yuri D:
Hyoyeon looks great though ! Love how her her is styled in the dance part. Work it girl !

^
^
^There is X_X She gets a whole line to herself in this song! I like how Mr. Taxi has a part for each girl.

anything suits yuri :laugh I prefer darker hair for her but blonde doesn't look bad at all and at least it's not bright yellow-ish blonde like some of the other girls have had before. the shade of it looks nice~

you know what would look really weird? Seohyun blonde.. I hope it never happens.

GAH.

Edit: Ok, now that I've recovered from the news and the price, I'll probably preorder the deluxe edition as soon as it's up at CDJ. I just hope the bag comes packaged with the album in a box.

whoa June 1st.... that's so fast

X_______X

So basically, there's NO way I'll be getting the deluxe version... I might preorder the Limited and tack it to my July order though since I'll already be broke from AKB48 and capsule's albums ... and Acchan's and no3b's singles will be in June too. I bet Kalafina's next single will be then too... gah... summer is gonna be HELL on my wallet, everyone stop releasing things please!!! x______________x

I just got Meisa Kuroki's single and I've already preordered both limited versions of SNSD's RDR/Mr. Taxi, Namie's Checkmate CD+DVD album, Perfume's limited single, and capsule's limited World of Fantasy album. Koda Kumi's released these tour items that I want and Ayu's released her Ayupans that I collect (which I just ordered 5 of). With SNSD releasing their album soon, I don't know how my wallet's going to handle this. When will the madness stop? Have they ever heard of too much of a good thing? It's so overwhelming all at once! I seriously think that they're trying to make me have a breakdown over here. I hope my eBay sales do well, I need the money for sure!

*FAINTS* OMG!!!! Although it's going to be very expensive, the stan in me cannot resist getting the deluxe edition so I'm definetely going order it as soon as it's available. I'll also order the limited pressing version at a later date!

tsk this is way too expensive :weep .. BUT YAY NEW ALBUM. I hope all the 8 remaining tracks are new

WOW! :thud
the price is crazy:roflmao BUT IT MUST BE AMAZING!!! <3

I don't know.. I think I'm just going to not collect SNSD things anymore when they're released in Japan. they're too expensive.. I can't justify spending even over $30 on a CD anymore, let alone $100 and the bonus goods don't even seem that great. I loved how their CD's in Korea were so much cheaper. I'm still excited about the album though! I hope there aren't anymore remakes. Or if there are then only like one.

Woah nice! But too soon and too expensive!! Not even enough time to collect any money!
I'll have to buy it later, but I'm still looking forward to this!

Why!! i want the pvs of GEE, GENIE, Run Devil Run and MR.TAXI in the DVD.
it's so expensive !!!
probably i'm gonna get an OS PRESS, it's cheaper, and honestly i don't care the bag

I'm just going to get the regular edition, the other editions are way too expensive.

The new album news is great indeed!
I can't wait for new tracks, I hope it'll be amazing :D

But the prices are unbelievable, and they only had 1 PV on the DVD? Way to go SM, great marketing strategy :| ~~they've been sucking money, like worse than avex imo~~

They should've and another PV and making, so it'll become more worth it to buy
