[daigong]

WICKED SALES. no where near AKB numbers but pretty fucking impressive. Good thing Arasahi wasn't releasing anything.

OMGASS I love Halo! no wonder I love you-aholic. shit they went all out with the producers. TOP NOTCH. Britney! here's to a collabo on stage in the US someday!


Eta, on Music Station.



LOVED the camera switching between Yoona and Yuri MIND BLASTING. and looks like Soo getting adjusted to her weave

I'm a try to cop the TS version 

[zoolander]

Actually the only songs I know from those are Disturbia, God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You, Halo and SOS.

Oh man I didn't even know they were on Music Station yesterday. Great Escape was great. Jessica Tiffany and Seohyun were looking especially goooood. Made the old pants tighten up a bit. Dance was awesome and the english intro guy "check out the sexy outfits and sleek, slender, sexy legs" yeesh

[[R-748]]

Excellent camerawork too. The Music Station director knows how to capture the 'essential' points of the performance very well.

Limited Edition

[ch01]

Does anyone have the deluxe edition pb scans? Are the extra 8 pages different pics, or just text?

[tiny]

I just checked, the deluxe edition pb has different (but similar) pics and it is slightly bigger.

Do you know if anyone scanned and uploaded the pb somewhere?

If someone did scan the pb, it will undoubtedly be found and shared here at some point in time.

News from the sales and ranking front. Again first in the daily chart. Sales are up to very good 27,132 copies sold, bringing the total up to 193,357 now. That 200K seems certain now with still one day to go to finish off the first week.

And the last day of the first week of sales for the Oricon chart saw 21,841 copies sold.

Oricon confirms the weekly number 1 position and sales of about 232K.

SNSD is quoted as saying:

We’re grateful to our fans that always support us in getting our Japanese debut album to #1 on Oricon. The chart is great, of course, but the fact that so many people are listening to our album is even better and makes us all so happy. We sincerely hope that this album gives the people of Japan even just a bit more courage and a light of hope.

See these articles for the rundown.

I have the deluxe edition, but I sent my photobook to my friend in Korea. He said he'll try to get it signed and I told him to try and get Tiffany and/or Jessica to write something on it in English. *fingers crossed*

And now with a Bad Girl MV (which I haven't figured out what they are going to use that for yet, since Japan doesn't do the whole re-packaged album stuff) they might even surpass Lady Gaga!     maybe....
