I just watched the Girls & Peace concert and it was ...weird. It has an amazing setlist and yet somehow I kept on skipping even my favourite songs, wth?

The intro was so cheap with all the space flowers, and the farm / alp interlude video was silly, some girls had lovely fighting queens interlude and my Sunny got some farmer scene .___. , the costumes were mostly unflattering, the camera work was also not as good as I expected it to be.

It somehow just didn't flow well like the 1st japanese tour. I'll give it another try sometime soon but so far I am disappointed. I liked the encore part, it was really fun and full of energy.

[kimmeh]

^ Noo That sounds bad. I'm afraid to watch it now.

Btw, this chick is on the august cover of EGG, doesn't it slightly remind you of Hyo?

Spoiler:

[milky_way]

^ Eh, I don't see it

[ExodusUK]

Their next Japanese single is probably going to be released Nov 4, they have two fan events on the 5th in Tokyo.

[visionfactory]

^^^I can see she's imitating her style

[adantatu2]

Do you have any link to watch the concert on-line please ??
It's so heavy and i don't have space on my disk.

A prettier petite in the face version, yes.

My sister had pretty much the same issue. As usual SM always had random cheap video intros and when you see performance from recording it would be not as good :|

I agree about the costume because I think they can do much better I remember when they do promotions back in the past some of the performance costumes are so beautiful. I personally don't really like the stripes one cause they look like sports linesman -_- even the pink one though looked like ice skater dancers it still lack something.

Actually it's first time I find them cheap, I loved the 9 Angel's intro with them flying up to the sky, I loved the Black Soshi interlude and in this concert the screens were suddenly kind of worse.

I only loved the Disney Princess interlude video and I might have loved the figting queens interlude video if only Sunny was in it :|

The interlude with the teacher was also very nice and touching, I almost thought of playing it in the upcoming teacher's day, I was (as a teacher) almost crying but it has sad ending and it may have an opposite effect on my fello retired teachers, they may not enjoy it. It was also weird that only SeoHyun was in the video.

[terra]

^It was because Seo's the only good kid in SNSD
When I saw the teacher's interlude I know it's for ALL MY LOVE IS FOR YOU, when I saw them live with Promise it kinda turned out...weird I guess lol

The princess interlude is the best imo they should've use the same role for The Boys' princess teaser, Sooyoung as Snow White is perfect and Jessica as Aurora xD matches her sleeping hobby.

I actually like the flower opening, it made them looked like Goddess and those flowy dresses reminds me of Princess Sailor Senshis

And the best humor interlude will always be from the first concert, Dance Battle Cinderella story I love Taeyeon as Frog dancing around with Jessica

1st. Week #3 50,793

They sold more than LOVE & GIRLS, yay!!
I think the tie-in and the promotion in tv helps a lot.

[marty]

^
I think the "mature style" of the song helped a lot too. That's the style that makes them sell the more in Japan, I suppose. Anyway, I'm happy for them! It's not a bad single at all and it deserves it.

[adantatu2]

^And that the style i prefer too
It's not a bad single, but the fans aren't really happy with the physical edition. They don't include photobook nor photocards.

[marty]

^
So it's just a normal single, lol. Seriously, we GG fans have been so spoiled, with all the bonuses we always get with every release! It's always like this with idols group, lol.

[ExodusUK]

Their new Japanese single will be performed for the first time on Nov 5 at their fan event. Weird I thought they would have performed it at SM TOWN TOKYO the week before but I guess it's too much of a big event if they're not ready to promote it for real. The 3rd album will probably follow a week after like FLOWER POWER.

[adantatu2]

^Really ?? Yay, i can't wait for more details !!!

[marty]

Already a new album? Gosh... maybe I'm naive, but I didn't see it coming. I honestly thought they were going for it early next year. Too few singles. But, yay!

[JaysenRyan]

We're never getting an English album.

[kimmeh]

Tbh I really don't want a English album.
All I want right now is the BEEP BEEP PV...
