I didn't know there are 2 versions of the limited edition. When I was about to start this thread, I went to their official site and found out, then freaked out a bit coz I thought I ordered the wrong one.

I think that Amazon link goes to the regular edition. This is the First Press Limited Edition:

As far as I know, the First Press Limited Edition is sold out on CD Japan, but still good to go on Amazon, as I just pre-ordered it yesterday.

Is having a song without the main vocal a popular thing nowadays?

Instrumentals have always been popular haven't they?

Japanese singles always had instrumentals on them. The only reason why that I can think of is for karaoke purposes. lol

thatonezombie · « **Reply #8 on:** August 14, 2010, 04:53:07 AM »

They could have said instrumental then. That confused me

LaJon · « **Reply #9 on:** August 14, 2010, 05:29:00 PM »

Nice. Can't wait to see if they make the rounds on all the Japanese music shows.

zakdl · « **Reply #10 on:** August 14, 2010, 09:27:11 PM »

Glad to see it's like a traditional Japanese single and has an instrumental on it! :p Now I can finally make a clean acapella of Genie haha

Rumored Japanese lyrics~

「お呼びですか」　ねえ　言いかけたSOSはマジだ
ほら　まさにここで素直じゃなきゃ
何か願うならキミと恋に落ちたGenieよ

“Oyobidesuka?” nee iikaketa SOS wa MAJI da
Hora masa ni koko de sunao janakya
Nanka negau nara KIMI to koi ni ochita Genie yo

"Did you call me?" Hey the "SOS" you started to say sounds serious
You should be honest now.
If you tell your wish to somebody, tell me, I'm the genie who has fallen in love with you (Note: "You" has also fallen in love with the Genie)"

If that's supposed to be the refrain then I'm curious as to how it'll sound. I've tried to bring the music in harmony with the lyrics somehow but it's always an epic fail.

Kanki · « **Reply #13 on:** August 17, 2010, 03:44:45 PM »

It's supposed to be the very first verse with Tae & Sica~

I can hear it, but it does sound weird...<< >>;;

usa~sayu · « **Reply #14 on:** August 17, 2010, 09:03:12 PM »

...indeed weird

Aside from the very first verse~ the way imagine it sounds rather nice.
Can't wait to see how it turns out, I'm even more excited for the PV. I wonder if it's going to be sth like a dance shot or if it'll also contain random scenes like the real Korean one. I would be happy about the latter.

tamatron · « **Reply #15 on:** August 18, 2010, 05:14:31 PM »

I tried to sing along but it came out really weird once it got past the 1st line.

Everybody's stunning~ And Sunny looks more beautiful than ever here <3 <3 <3

Sorry for the off-topic comment, but can someone give me their names going left to right using the ^^ pic? That would really be helpful. I'm trying to get into them, but I can't tell them apart yet

Kanki · « **Reply #18 on:** August 18, 2010, 06:32:44 PM »

Seohyun, Taeyeon, Hyoyeon, Yoona, Yuri, Jessica, Sunny, Tiffany and Sooyoung~

The cover could be a bit more thematic... But not complaining too much. They look good.

I tried singing a long with those rumored lyrics, and it works for me. I know it'll be weird as hell to hear it though.
