Gross.
That's it! From here on out, I'm going to be very careful when it comes to supporting Girls' Generation with my money. No more buying anything of theirs on day one since they feel the need to repackage everything!

The new song's MV could be released on their future Japanese album with the original version and a dance version on the album DVD (like how they did Mr. Taxi).

Well, they probably will release the new stuff as a single, similar to what Chiaki Kuriyama is doing with the
Tsukiyo no Shozo single and the "deluxe edition" (read: repackage) of
CIRCUS, it's just that the single will likely be missing something that's only available on the album. Like, it may have the Japanese PV for "The Boys" but it probably won't have the PV for "BAD GIRL". :/
I really, really, really hope that Japan isn't going to adopt the practice of repackaging albums. :S
