Step into Girls' Generation's Time Machine ★ Thread #14!

[terra]

I just looked at YT and found one XD

[Pow!]

ExodusUK Nope, I believe they sang it live, both the Japanese version (watched it from the dvd) and the Korean version (watched it live). But the MR was played a bit too loud on some parts, and there's this thing about SM's concert editing method that covered the real concert audio with the recorded version on some parts.


All these studio version songs for their concert were leaked by someone. The ones leaked up until now:

Spoiler:

Taeyeon & Tiffany - Lady Marmalade (<--I seriously think they did wayyyy better singing it live than in this recorded one. The live version is more energetic)
Sunny - 3
Jessica - Almost
Taeyeon - Devil's Cry
SNSD - Danny Boy
Yoona - 4 Minutes
Sooyoung - Sway
Hyoyeon - Please Don't Stop The Music

thanks a lot you guys for sharing~~

[Pow!]

I don't really get why some of you guys really don't like Taeyeon, cause for me she's very okay. Well, people have different opinions *shrugs*

Just to make things clear (because on some previous pages I see someone said that Taeyeon wants to become a hallyu star), according to her mentor, The One, Taeyeon's dream was not to become a famous idol, moreover a hallyu star. The One said that out of all his students (including some famous Korean singers/idols we know) Taeyeon was the only one who said that her dream was to become a singer with the best capability, unlike his other students that said they wanted to become celebrities, or famous artists. That explains why she used to be so uncomfortable with all the attention she got, but now she has opened up to her fans more, though I'm sure the Angel Price incident (where she's dragged from the stage by some unknown man in the middle of RDR performance) made herself scared and more cautious of strangers :/

imo Taeyeon's doing pretty okay on Dangerous Boys. Sunny's my favorite there. Seohyun gets on my nerve most of the time though lol

[ExodusUK]

thanks pow! there's a korean version of Let It Rain?!

[Pow!]

^ Yeah, they sang the Korean version of it in the GGTOUR (Seoul and across Asia). I remember the audience was trying to sing along, but they didn't know the Korean lyrics lol.
Edited version from the concert recording:

I like both versions Still wondering why SM didn't release it on their third album ._.

[TofuBunny]

^ Yeah I thought they were saving it for the repackage at first but it never showed up ._. .. Same with the Japanese version of Fantastic.

[ExodusUK]

Thanks, I really want a Japanese version of Oh! maybe for the next single with a new Japanese song..

[adantatu2]

^I read months ago, that they sang the japanese version of Oh! in a concert, i hope is the next japanese single

[y_nathz]

maybe those are just live versions ? just like what SHINee did with Japanese Stand By Me .__.

Having just got into Girls Generation, can anyone tell me if I'm missing anything off of their albums? I'm not going to buy the original packagings as it seems all the track appear on the rereleases.

I am about to order:
Baby Baby
Gee
Genie
Run Devil Run
Hoot
Girls Generation (Japan Album)

I'm waiting on The Boys as apparently a 3rd version is due out in January?

[y_nathz]

I don't think you missed anything.. and btw since you prefer repackages, I thought you would prefer ordering the repackage for their Japanese album, but it's up to you
And I don't know if they will release another version of The Boys, never heard of it, other members please correct me if I'm wrong anyway. :3

and yay welcome to the world of SONE <3

[Pow!]

elaniel if you're aiming to collect all of Girls' Generation official released songs (not included ost and such), then you might want to buy Into The New World single, since it contains Beginning that wasn't included on any of their album. Besides the girls looked adorable in their young teen years xD

^ Yeah there is The Boys International/US Special Edition. It's going to be released on January 17th. Amazon already open the pre order

[AyUmIXx]

elaniel, welcome to SNSD fandom! haha~~
yea i would suggest u to buy the japanese repackaged version, The Boys, because it's more complete.

[elaniel]

Sorry, that's what I meant but forgot to list it.
Ah, it's the US album that's out in January then, and not a Korean release.

I'll pick up the albums for now, and see how I get on. Maybe eventually pick up some of their singles too. Thanks for the advice everyone.

[y_nathz]

@Pow! : ah yes the US release! I completely forgot about it! xD agreed about the ITNW era

yep no problem elaniel, enjoy your CDs soon <3 maybe you would want their DVDs & photobooks later \bricked\

[elaniel]

Calm down, calm down LOL. I'm just thinking about the albums for the time being. My OCD will kick in soon

[y_nathz]

gotta catch em all! just like pokemon xD
just kidding :3

I don't think anyone is 100% sure yet what's going on with "The Boys" yet. :/

The MR.TAXI version that was just released seems more like an alternate version (Type A, Type B, etc.) than a proper repackage. Repackages generally feature a completely new song that is used to promote the album further on music shows and this new version doesn't have one, so some of us are expecting a real repackage sometime in the new year (not the US edition that was mentioned by Pow!). If you want to play it safe, I'd advise you to wait it out for a bit longer.

I don't know if I would call it "more complete" since it completely replaces two songs with remixes; remixes that sound different from the original versions and don't really fit in with the rest of the album.

The original version of their Japanese album has a better song flow, while the repackage includes two new songs but doesn't really feel coherent. In this case, I think they're different enough that it'd be okay to own both, but if you just want one, I'd go for the repackage since you're planning on getting only the repackages for their Korean albums.

Keep in mind, though, that any future Japanese repackage albums will probably follow the same set-up (a few new songs and remixes replacing original versions), so you won't really be getting a complete album experience buying just one version.
