This must be what crazy feels like! It's Girls' Generation 19th thread!
 

Oricon says the album sold 62,379 in 1 day, that is almost what it sold the rest of the week! What happened here? They did some promo? Or is it a mistake? Or SM bought those copies? (I've heard they do that kind of thing in Korea..)

If this is true, the grand total should be around 120k copies :thud

^
Maybe people just liked it very, very much? Possibly? (Hopefully?)

^^Hope so but idk lol
Yay for new thread! I love the title :luv2

^Thank you! I wasn't so sure about it ^_^

A friend sent me this
http://www.allkpop.com/article/2013/...#axzz2nbQ1bEeG

So the high sales of yesteraday are due to their free concert and promotion

6th Day
#1
Sales: 62,379
Total sales: 37,486 + 12,900 + 6111 + 4576 + 5136 62,379= 127,588

This is really weird, SM's magic ??
Maybe that big event with 50,000 fans helps a lot ?

It's a free event for people that bought the CD so it's pretty possible it was the reason

lol did everyone who bought a cd buy another cd at the event? That's hilarious.

damn avex needs to apply some of these hax sales on Ayu or something, lol.

Then how do you explain they sold like 2 copies today

edit:

1st week sales: 129,255 (#1)

Their sales today are really low, but they keep the No.2

7th Day
#2
2375

I love blue jeans, but seriously: "My fashion is my passion" XD XD

wut

I must be one of the people who never ever really cared for the number of sales. These girls sell out concerts and merchandise like woah, album sales isn't where the money is at >:

Cool, then let's talk about the qu-


Okay, fine. Let's talk about sales......

FAIL on my part :laugh I meant that I actually never cared about album sales

Album sales are a good indicator as how popular they are in Japan :) you should be worried because if they don't do good enough they will be fired, and I bet you want them to keep releasing things

Today they're at #10

I'm trying to appreciate LOVE&PEACE, but I'm deadly sick of taeyeons screaming!

Well, mmm, the main vocalists are always screaming, XD.

They released this album so fast and there was so little new material that each time I come here I'm hoping to find some info about them releasing an album. Unfortunately, they just did, duh... :p

Korean comeback teaser

Are we talking slightly bad-girl mixed with ladylike style? I like it! Looking forward to it

I'm glad they're not coming up with a boyish concept, they all look hot and fierce ♥

That was the worst teaser ever, looks cheap and like they did it in 5 mins

I hope it's Bad Girl I love recycling

I like what i watched, but we have to wait for a HQ teaser.

I'm not really getting anything at all from that teaser? I can barely see anything and we can't hear anything either! I don't know why people are having such strong reactions towards it already lol

If Girls' Generation ever announces a tour date in North America, I'm taking my sister to see them! But then I'll hop on a plane to Asia if I have to.

Wonder what this new musical release will be like...

My bias <3

Edit: If the girls are gonna keep on the image they had on Marchen Fantasy, people should look forward to sexy-as-hell-in-a-mature-way comeback. The girls were GORGEOUS that night, all of them!

I love 24 hours, but, mmmm, i don't like Sooyoung's version

Man, even their bad albums grow on me and become less bad. I hated Gossip Girls and now I'm choreographing a dance for it. Sigh. Girls, you own my heart and mind.

sooyoung's 24 hours is so hotttttttt!!
love her dance moves there.

I need whatever bra she's got there that makes her look like she's got boobs.

She looks really good.

Have you seen f(x) performing The Boys? :) I love both groups so it was interesting to watch :D

but it's very weak compare to SNSD

well, the one band has had a very long and hard training for the routine and performed it 1000x times, the other band did it once out of fun with may a week of rehersal

its like comparing pears and apples

I don't think it was weak at all

I've tried learning that dance and it's tough for someone with no rhythm. f(x) did an admirable job since they don't have the same number of available dancers. They made it work.

I want Find Your Soul... Love that song and I can't seem to find it anywhere than on YouTube.

^The Boys, Gee and Run Devil Run are the only three dance I learned, RDR was the hardest despite easy chorus, besides those, I've been trying to learn Geanie (my fav song) but never managed and I guess Hoot but that was too chaotic for me.

the poor man's snsd lol

just like that poor man's ayu.

OMGTEASER!!!!!!!

"Mr.Mr." wil be released on February 19th and the album will be released on the 24th!

EXCITING

I'm ecstatic! I miss the girls so much

Same. I heard that Jessica and her sis will be in a reality show though, so I wonder if we'll see less of her for promos for mr mr

like what i heard...

That trailer was GLORIOUS, what's with this dark stuff, omg, I loved it so much!!
I CAN'T WAIT. Finally.

I love the teaser, Jessica looks so pretty !!!

Is it an EP or full length Album ?

I think the term EP doesn't exist in either Jpop or Kpop, it's an album, single, maxi-single or mini-album

A mini album.

What is EP anyway? I see people adding it to some albums names but it never rings a bell.

Ep is basically another term for mini album, with 4-6 tracks

I only saw some japanese bands releasing E.P.s. Many of them are indie releases.

Anyway, i can't wait for this. I wonder if they are going to have japanese releases this year

2NE1 is appartenly releasing on the 24th...as much as I love them...do they really think it is a good idea? They must be very confindent in their title track after they basically lost a high amount of fans thorugh YGs marketing strategies.

New teaser images from their official website:

Love those images, they look amazing!!!

Gorgeous! Guessing they'll release 3 pics a week or something?

It's a good idea if they are confident with their title track, their teaser looks promising as much as SNSD's

after hear the teaser for several times, i think it sounds like ANTM opening song? hahaha

they have a teaser?
still i think it stupid
normally I'm agianst the whole avoiding policy going on in korea
but I love them both and GG are some kindof godesses

If they are releasing mini album in two weeks why there are no order links yet?

I'm speechless.
THOSE PROMO PICS KILLED ME. I'm crying, they're so sexy and dark, omg!

MOAR PROMOS.

HAAAYYY SEXY LADY HYOOO

Edit:
I'm slightly worried that the mr. mr teaser is a fake, like run devil run was. The music in the promo wasn't related to the song :( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwoPI9glT-U

omg pink hyooo


But no Sunny. No. That Ayu next level hair needs to go.

What is that guy holding. And where even are they lol

That's where Sunny's look is from! Nice catch.
I think they're at a hospital. The guy is holding a heart that's coated in diamonds

Found this too
http://i.imgur.com/PaxUlq3.jpg

This is the worst Nurses concept I've ever seen lol

Looks like an ANTM photoshoot lol

glam hospital? lol

At least everything is pink :D

They say SM accidentally erased the MV and they have to shoot it again (?) part of it

LSM made them re-shoot it again with a new concept and director because he wasn't happy with the final product.

^
What do you mean?
They cancelled a previous one and ended up with this dark hospital stuff, or they're erasing this one and preparing another? (DO THEY DARE ERASING THIS BEAUTY??)

They can't do that to my heart AGAIN.
Plus, in the promo they're saying "mr. mr." over and over, it MUST be part of the song. (please, let it be part of the song, I love it so much!!)

I just hope they won't do it like they did with Hyorin when they released epic rockish overflowing with music teaser and then the song itself was mild and boring comparing to the teaser :/

teaser:



song:



they are so different :/

I totally love the Mr. Mr. teaser, hope they won't spoil it.

The teaser they showed last year at the SM TOWN Week concert was the old one that LSM scrapped...just read today, that they've lost the new music video due to a "data corruption issue"

I see...
Data corruption, I can't believe it. So computers are little bitches really to EVERYONE. Not even great companies are safe.

If you read allkpop, the fans are saying there will be a fan war between SNSD and 2NE1, because with this delay, they are making a comeback at the same time.

I prefer SNSD, but 2NE1 are strong with digital sales

Like SKYia pointed it out, it might just be parts of the song overlayed with a completely different beat. I certainly hope not :( It sounds EPIC


The last 3 teaser images:

Well... Probably the most disappointing ones, especially as Yuri and Sooyoung are my favs.
Tiffany looks unrecognizable (whats up with the mole?), I hate Yuris outfit(corset? really? rest looks great though) and Sooyoung just looks.. off. Horrible hair and dead expression.

All teasers in HQ album:
http://imgur.com/a/JOvwp

IMO Jessica wins. Seo on a second.

I need news, I really want to watch the MV!!!

^^
Thanks a lot for those pics in HQ!! I looked everywhere for them!
Really, you didn't like Fany's one? It's my favourite! Taeyeon and Seohyun are close after that. I loved them all, though! <3 Amazing concept is amazing, I'll worship Korean music industry 'till my death.
Probably the worse one imo it's Sunny's one. But those electrified hair are so cute...

It's past 19th, is it postponed or sth? there's silence everywhere, no links, I feel like I'm missing something?

^ :yes The MV had a problem, and they postponed it. We don't have a new release date and i'm getting crazy !!!!

Stupid SM, you are the biggest company and you have problems with losing data of your MV.

we have a date, it is the 24th for the MV

The whole "data corruption" thing so bullshit. It's to fuck up for 2NE1's comeback.

yeah, and I actual think YG desrved it (even tough i love their artiste)

really? Thanks a lot for the info :)

What do you guys think about Mr.Mr.?

Need time to like it, but after hear it for three times, i start to like it.

seriously the interlude part really made me remember ANTM opening song...

Download : http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=119450

Thank you for posting the download link! From what I've read, the album was quickly removed from iTunes and many sites that had it available for download have taken down the links so I'm very grateful that a member here was able to share it with us. I normally don't listen to leaks but with all of the delays that have been going on with this album, I grew tired of waiting. Plus, I don't buy digital releases anyways and I'm going to buy it physically when it comes out, so they won't be losing any money from me. Anyways, I like the mini-album and most of the songs are laid back and relaxing to listen to (which is fine depending on the mood you're in), however, it would have been nice if some of the songs were more upbeat. Anyways, I'm looking forward to the release of the physical album and the MV.

The title track was disappointing :( it wasn't near as pumped and dance-y that I expected.
I like their dance tracks the most, so this album wasn't for me, but i'm sure it will grow on me.

I'm liking what I'm hearing till now...
But it's really too early to have an opinion about it!
I'm gonna listen to it on repeat anyway, so I'm going to make up my mind pretty soon, I think, lol.

They did totally the same they did with Hyorin, epic edgy teaser for a midtempo mild song, they promised something and the result was something else. I like the song but not so much the chorus, maybe because I was expecting something more dark and loud / crazy / unique. It's hardly a track to represent an album. Now I'll listen to the rest :p

Is this internet release only? There are no links anywhere to the physical album, I also didn't see any covers.

Oh and btw, I wonder if those who watched the ending of the Olimpics in Sochi saw that, when they switched their show to Korea there was this very fast (like 1 second) caption of SNSD in some concert :)

The title track is OK, honestly the teaser sounds more promising, the rest of the songs are a bit boring, i'm glad they include a korean version of Soul, that song is good

I was going to post my thoughts on the mini, but they're pretty much the same as this, so just quoting :)

The Japanese album was okay. Not as good as the first one though.

Better than the first one ;)

Give it more than 5 times, you will start to like it and after 10 times, its not a bad song, its good and solid...not the best, but not that bad, my main problem is the rest of the songs on the album is kinda sucks, except for Soul that is a masterpiece.

Mr.Mr. kinda got into me, sure it's not that dancy but we still haven't see their visuals and choreography yet lol

Dissapointing to say, Soul is the best song on the mini, and it was actually better in chinese.
