Honestly, all I heard in this song was Taeyeon, and all I saw in the PV was Sooyoung. It was really unbalanced, but since it's not everyday Sooyoung is on the main focus, that's alriiiight with me, lol. But I really wished everyone had their chance to sing, I mean, even Jessica got very few moments for herself, while usually she's the "screamer", along with Taeyeon.

This isn't really one of those songs where I think it matters who gets the lead. Their Japanese works always seem throw away. They never perform them in Japan on tv.

They always appear to be money grabs. It should be opposite considering Japan is 2nd largest music industry and the only NEXT step in their careers for them as far as longevity is concerned. There is nowhere else for them to go in Korea.

Even if Yuri was sat up in a chair to the side off screen the entire video I wouldn't care. I don't even think they care.

And am I the only one who realized that GALAXY SUPERNOVA isn't the Japanese Version of "I GOT A BOY"?

Pissed.

It's not their managment's fault. Japanese tv stations don't want to spread the hallyu wave anymore.

It's very unbalanced. Sunny who has been main vocal lately had sooo few lines! She mainly got the "Oh!" parts. Tae doesn't have many lines, but she ends a lot of them with her WOAAAAH-ish sounds, and her volume seems to be about 20% higher than the rest in the chorus, thus she seems to be all over the song.

Sooyoung was excellent in this vid. Hope she continues being awesome, because she really deserves it. She might not be as good as Hyo as a dancer, but she's on second place.

Sunny actually looks annoyed that she didn't get many lines in the video...

I actually don't normally care who is front and center but Tiffany has been getting on my nerves ever since the boys. I understand she has a good voice and all but for whatever reason I feel like she forces her way on screen every time there is a close up. But this time there was much more Sooyoung than usual which makes sense considering she's the most proficient in Japanese and should be the face of the group in Japan.

Sooyoung for the win <3

Honesty songs like GALAXY SUPERNOVA and LOVE & GIRLS are songs with really short lyrics, i think you can expect a lot of lines for the girls (la la la la la, tu tu tu tu tu tu)

I watched them live last night and it was amazing! I was in the near the stage, the standing area and have to queue about 8 hours before the gate open at 2 PM. The show started at 4.30 and I got to stand in the end of the catwalk, near the left Y head tip of the catwalk. Only 3-4 people stand in front of me

The concert lasts about 2,45 hours because they're leaving by 11 PM and Jakarta is hell of a traffic everyday so so it ended at 7.45. Boomerang, LOVE&GIRLS and How Great Is Your Love were cut from the setlist nonetheless the girls had a very great time in here. The crowd cheered like bunch of army guys in nearly every song and do the Korean Chant.

I got to see the girls live in front of me and God they're breathtaking. Sunny and Sooyoung are both sexy and cute, Yoona is like a goddess, Taeyeon, Fany and Seohyun are really adorable, Yuri always try to keep her image lol, Sica is lazy as ever (but damn, girl look like white porcelain doll) and Hyoyeon is energetic and cute! The girls have their own charms and beauty but I must say Sunny and Sooyoung stole the attention in my standing area. Sunny even smile and point at my cousin's smartphone camera

I'm just glad that the girls love it being here, some of them even looked moved. Taeyeon's eyes were sparkling when I see them singing Forever. They acted super funny and adorable on stage! the girls even hit their usual high notes and seems to lipsynched minimally. There were some microphone problem in some song even Fany's voice when she said 'Indonesia, put it back on!' was distorted Nevertheless you'll know that they're really sing because I can see them moving their lips but no voice can be heard either from them or from the background music, even with the non main singer girls. If they come near your living places I recommend you to go watch them

Spoiler:
One thing I don't like being standing to the stage is because it's their first concert here the guys around me were over-exuberant and keep pushing. Three Chinese speaking dude and girls were standing on small stools they bought and smuggled an advance SLR cameras...they're fansite photographers, there's also another photographer dude from Thailand and two guy and girl idk from where that acted so abusive the guy forced his way to the middle Y catwalk without speaking any word :| There's also a samchon fan from Korea, another Samchon from Japan who is super annoying next to me -_- he kept shouting Jessica and Sooyoung even though it's Intro Video and everybody is diligently watching. My standing concert watching experience is complete lol

I pray for that every night, before sleeping. I'm so envious, you lucky you!

I like how that commercial was shot more than I like the song or actual music video.

I'm just listening to "DUDA" catwalk the beginning was boring but overall the song is fine, not super engrossing but I like the "ladies ladies" parts, DUDA is funny though

EDIT: ok, after second listening I really like it

I don't like this either. Ugh.

And at the end, whoever that was. Was it Hyo-yeon asking me if I'm ready to walk? Well sounded like they had food in their mouth.

But I am ready to walk away from this song though.

The whistle-esque sounds throughout make me think I'm listening to a Perfume song. I do like those parts.

I hate it when a song is so bad, it makes you like another song which you had already disregarded as trash. "GALAXY SUPERNOVA"

I don't like the catwalk song. Now I hated IGAB at first too, and now I LOVE it, so it might grow on me, but the song is very boring.
