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

I totally see where people are coming from when they say Fany is slapped everywhere in the songs, going all rappish, and "yeah" and "ah!".
I totally DON'T see where people are coming from when they say Fany has diva-ish attitude. She's always smiling and being nice, that's all I see.
But, hey, it's a matter of taste, right? Different point of view and all that.

Mr. Mr. has sold 14,126 copies in Japan

Good!

[chikocchi]

I really like Mr. Mr.
I wasn't expecting to after seeing all the hate for it
But I really enjoy it

Behind the scenes clip, where you can see some of the parts that were "corrupted"

Mr. Mr. Japanese Version Preview

^ korean is better, has a way better flow!

[visionfactory]

I like japanese too ^_^

Will all the songs be en japanese?! that would be amazing

[AyusakiFan]

Although I prefer the Korean version as well, I think the Japanese version sounds nice too. If Mr. Mr. happens to be the title track of their next single, I hope they are able to create an MV which is reflective of how the Korean version was supposed to be before the data loss. In my opinion, the data loss really affected the quality of the MV so I hope they take the opportunity to redeem it for the Japanese version.

Seems like Yuri's Japanese has vastly improved though!

Omg, that leopard printed dress Jessica was supposed to wear...
I'm suddenly very happy the video was corrupted, lol. That thing was awful.
Speaking seriously, I don't think the video would have been much different, even with these scenes in it. I mean, I think they made a choice with those blurry, "sloppy" effects, and most people didn't like them (apart from me, lol), but they were going to be in the PV anyway.
The garage scene, on the contrary, was completely random and a little out of place, even if it worked for me.

And I really like how Mr. Mr sounds in japanese! =D
Maybe it's better than the korean version, for me.

[CoriKaru]

Sunny's parts still sound fly in the Japanese version, which is the only part I care for so I approve.

The song does sound like a different song at some parts though.

[pimenta]

I think the Japanese version sounds just as good as the Korean one

Judging by the behind the scenes video, the mv looks like it would haven been nice if it wasn't for the data loss...

[adantatu2]

They need to release MR. MR. in Japan with a real and high quality video without the stupid effects.

Girls' Generation Mr. Mr. Japanese Version (Full Song Audio)

^Thanks, i wonder what's the next move in Japan: single, repackage album of LOVE & GIRLS, a japanese version of the whole mini album, i'm curious !!!

[kimmeh]

I was in Tsutaya in Shibuya today, and bought "Mr.Mr" , it was only 1795¥!! It even had the poster included. But it was hidden away the bottom of the shelf, so I doubt it's very popular...

It's a big box that includes individual stickers of all the girls! Very pretty!

[adantatu2]

^Maybe because it's big ? I mean, they need space for new releases

[visionfactory]

^I doubt so, I Got a Boy sold 50k in Japan I think they were expecting a lot more interest for Mr. Mr.

[AyusakiFan]

Since the "Mr. Mr." MV surpassed 15,000,000 views, the dance practice version was uploaded on youtube today.

The album has been doing fairly well on RecoChoku. It was number three last week.
