so excited *___*

Thank you so much for posting the teaser! They are finally getting a big budget MV and the song sounds awesome! I'm super excited too! I literally squealed when it ended, lol. I just preordered the special limited edition of the single!

Also, the Japanese show "ZIP!" aired a short extended audio teaser which features a longer preview of the song!

ExodusUK · #7 30th May 2012, 01:27 AM

Another teaser

Thanks for making the new thread, AyusakiFan

!!! I squealed at the Chanyeol gif at the top

Aaah I didn't expect a new single so soon, the teaser looks great .. It reminds me of the concept from the repackaged Japanese album, very classy

I'm really not sure if I should order this single or not

(I hate being singles OTL) .. The newspaper thing sounds very tempting though! I think I'll just wait until I see how the packaging looks like

You're welcome! The gif fits the theme of their new single perfectly and it still ties in TaeTiSeo's mini album "Twinkle". Plus Chanyeol looks adorable!

The teaser immediately reminded me of the concept from their repackaged Japanese album as well! As far as the single, if you feel like the extras such as the close-up MV, the booklets, and the poster are worth purchasing the single for, I'd go for it. But if not, I wouldn't purchase it as the song and music video are most likely going to be on their album. The only exception is the instrumental but that's not worth buying it for. Hopefully they'll release the covers and packaging pics soon so it will be easier to make your decision.

I love the concept! Paparazzi and Musical! I love the costume, I hope it'll like another glamorous take from The Boys costumes

Utena · #12 30th May 2012, 08:52 AM

kinda pissed there's only one song and no trading caaaaard ;_;
Still ordered the special limited edition

♥

miroro · #13 30th May 2012, 08:57 AM

Midori-chan · #14 30th May 2012, 08:59 AM

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW SINGLE!!

I'm so in love with the concept (and I want their trench coats!

)

freedreamer · #15 30th May 2012, 10:29 AM

Finally back as 9!!! And love the budge for this

Definitely getting better hahaha!! Their SM tours reaping all the rewards. PAPARAZZI sounds hot!!! seems like their style is heading towards TRICK, OSCAR, Top Secret, OH MY GOD kinda musical-ish songs..which is really good imo. The beats at the end sound so awesome.

gosh SNSD and Amuro Namie on the same day in Japan..thats gonna be awesome

AyusakiFan · #16 30th May 2012, 04:14 PM

Universal Music Girls' Generation page has been updated with further information about the single regarding the intensity of the dance routine, the composers of the song, as well as the five versions of the music video!

Quote:

■ It is a dance tune that uses their skills as much as possible, and Girls’ Generation’s dance performance spares nothing.
■ The song is an overseas musical composition from a team of American writers. The mix is arranged by Grammy award-winner Miles Walker, who also worked with Beyonce. The mastering was handled by world-famous Sterling Sound’s Tom Coyne.
■ There are a total of five versions of the music video. This is the highest number of versions for a music video in Girls’ Generation history. Some will be included with the goods and the music videos will be viewable at any time on Girls’ Generation’s official Facebook page.

I too am a bit disappointed that there is only one song and no trading card. The only thing that doesn't bother me about there only being one song is that the album should have more new songs if there are less songs on the single. But had there not been a special limited edition version of this single with the close-up version MV, the poster, and the two photobooks, I definetely would not have purchased this single.

I agree! I hope Shoujo Jidai and Namie Amuro slay the charts and take the top spots in their categories on Oricon as I'm buying both of their releases.

love in music · #17 30th May 2012, 05:14 PM

five versions of the music video? why? that's kind of cool but not the most in GG history. didn't Hoot have 11 versions? 1 close up version for each girl and then the dance version and original version in that one DVD thing they released

adantatu2 · #18 30th May 2012, 11:34 PM

it could be a korean, japanese, english, close-up and dance versions of the PV

Utena · #19 31st May 2012, 12:22 AM

too bad KAT-TUN are releasing on the same day, doubt the girls will grab the #1, especially without the trading cards gimmick x)

still wondering if I should get the regular +DVD edition as wel... but I guess they'll make an OS press for it so I should maybe just wait..

adantatu2 · #20 31st May 2012, 03:20 AM

SNSD's tumblrs ???
anyone ?
