I love the Nobody ~あなたしか見えない~ PV! Lim sounds perfect in the song and I love the new colors and the airplane scene in the beginning. I really hope it does well.

I also love Like Money. I agree with everyone saying that it would be better without Akon but the Wonder Girls need exposure to make it in the US and Akon is a really well-known artist. Hopefully this will be their only English song featuring another artist because I think the girls can definitely hold their own.

I'm wondering when they'll start promoting it in the US, cause having an American artist is great, but that doesn't automatically everyone knowing of its existence. WG's need to get on some radio and TV programs to promote and advertise. ^^

Wonder Girls - Like Money (no Akon)

So there is a full version without him! It's pretty nice. But wayy too much autotune. Choreography a little lacking (terms of being in sync together) but I understand, they were there 3 hours. Hahaha

I like.

So I downloaded the new release, and I'm wondering, what's the difference in the Nobody (2012 Version)? Because I don't hear any lol

the 2012 version was recorded without SunMi, the Wonder Girls member that is currently on hiatus. I'm not sure but I think Sunye sang her parts in this version

Does anybody know how the Wonder Girls did in Japan? Were they successful? I saw someone post tonight on Tumblr that Like Money played on their local radio station-- yay!

Personal thoughts, but I think the sales might also be due to the fact that Nobody itself is quite an old song.

The sales aren't too bad. I agree with SoldierofSilence, the song is five years old now and although I really like the Japanese version, it's not really the style of music that's popular in Japan right now.

^^I see. Gotta respect that, but it's also a little silly, like...girl, you're in an idol group! Now's your chance!

My thoughts exactly, haha. I wonder if she'll ever come back... probably not.

Wow, I didn't even know WG had a mini-album out. Listening to it now...

R.E.A.L. - Somehow I think this could have been really good, but it's missing something.
Like This - I can't help but want to sing and dance along with Like This.
Hey Boy - This song feels old stylistically. Like 90's old. I don't hate it, but it won't get past one listen.
Girlfriend - This doesn't feel like WG's style. Again, okay, no more than one listen.
Sorry - I can't even listen to this with the clap sounds in the beginning. (Certain sounds in songs are so overused that I refuse to listen. )
The DJ Is Mine - This song and Like This are the only songs on this album that sound 'WG' to me. I wasn't crazy about The DJ is Mine when it came out, but it's grown on me. Like Money is better though, imo.

How did Like Money end up doing? Obviously it isnt a huge hit or anything- but is it being considered a flop?
