Amazing first post by love in music

TofuBunny · #2 7th December 2011, 11:14 AM

Sorry for not asking before making the thread

! No one offered to do it so I just helped myself. I'm gonna add in the new info now

Here's the demo to Time Machine in case no one heard it yet:

It's a pretty song

.. Reminds me of Let it Rain and Born to be a Lady~

Oh and the new promo pic is pretty cool!

AyUmIXx · #3 7th December 2011, 11:42 AM

Ummm...what? How exactly?

It sounds gorgeous though. If anything, it reminds me of the Sugababes. Not what I was expecting at all, but I'm hoping they do a good demo justice, which I'm sure they will.

dreamland2.0 · #5 7th December 2011, 04:12 PM

I love that demo. Can't wait to hear the girls' version!

FIRSTKLAS · #6 7th December 2011, 11:22 PM

The preorders for the limited pressing (the edition with the 2 posters) has sold out at CDJapan.

They'll very likely get more copies of the album closer to the release date but I wouldn't be surprised if they're unable to get any more posters. :/

Edit: They've got some more, including the posters, but the availability counter is going down again already.

AyUta · #7 8th December 2011, 12:58 AM

Who's singing the english parts in the beginning?

edit; holy, it's all in english, and it's beautiful <3333

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Noooooooooo, not THEE dev, the cataracs?!

MUST HAVE.

adantatu2 · #8 8th December 2011, 05:15 AM

^the demo is sang by Andy Love

CoriKaru · #9 8th December 2011, 08:52 AM

Oh the chorus immediately brought Jordan Sparks Ft. chris brown - "No Air" to mine. chris doodoo brown ugh.

So are the limited edition posters random posters of the members? I would like to have the limited edition just for the Posters, but I can't justify the price.

I'll get the regular edition some time down the road before its release.

y_nathz · #10 8th December 2011, 10:52 AM

thanks for making the new thread sarah!
I like the demo of Time Machine, sounds like it'll turns out good.

Next time, you might not wanna say "debut" song since Momosu's debut was "Morning Coffee" and to a more specific degree "Ai no Tane"

LOVE Machine was their 7th single XDDDDD

TofuBunny · #13 8th December 2011, 12:58 PM

^^ That's an awesome performance

!! I wish they did Bad Girl instead though~

SNSD’s full-length Japanese album ‘Girls Generation’ sells close to 1 million copies

The ladies of SNSD who are actively standing on stages all across Asia are about to sell 1 million copies of their first full-length Japanese album, ‘Girls Generation‘.

According to Japanese media outlets such as Sankei Sports, ‘Girls Generation’ which was released in Japan back in June has already sold more than 850,000 copies.

A repackaged album is scheduled to be released on the 28th, and therefore with it’s inclusion in the sales figure, it is highly likely that their first album will surpass the 1 million sales mark. The repackaged album contains songs like “Time Machine” as well as the Japanese version of the “The Boys” from their third album which was released globally in October.

In the event that SNSD sells 1 million copies of ‘Girls Generation’, they will become the first overseas artist to accomplish such a feat in Japan. There has yet to be a Korean group in Japan to sell 1 million copies of an album (Note: BoA as a solo artist already accomplished this feat), so needless to say, all eyes are on the SNSD girls.

Additionally, ‘Girls Generation’ ranked #1 on major Japanese album distributor Tower Records‘ ‘2011 K-POP Album Sales Ranks‘, tallying the number of albums sold between January 1st and November 30th of this year.

In related news, SNSD has attended FujiTV‘s ‘FNS Song Festival‘ on the 7th, and will be rounding out the year at NHK‘s ‘Red & White Singing Battle (Kohaku)‘ on the 31st.

LOL sorry..i remember it wrongly coz i'm not following momusu since the beginning, all i know they got rly popular with Love machine.

bondingo · #16 8th December 2011, 02:33 PM

^ Yeah, that's exactly why I got confused, since I used to love Momusu and I know all their old songs. Cute Tae avatar btw

Tom Punks · #19 8th December 2011, 02:54 PM

HOLY CRAP, Tiffany really does look like a vampire. Her closeup shot is my favorite of the bunch (even though I don't really like her). Also, she has amazing shoulders.

dreamland2.0 · #20 8th December 2011, 04:48 PM

Funny because Oricon says they only sold 634,823 copies. I guess they're counting overseas sales too?
The photos look great
