... and if I had heard this before the original Korean version, I probably would have not bought the CD. :cry:
Why the translation? Because Japanese People don't want to hear other languages except their own? :thumbdown:  :? (I'm a Japan-fan actually)
Although I can't understand what they are singing, I can still decide if I like a song or not... :peace:

they should've learn japanese more before doing this
some korean to japanese i can take, like dbsk or bigbang
snsd ( and some others like kara and 4minute) sounds just like they're reading off the lyrics

imho, japanese are more open to outside influence than korean, they've import artist from asia like korea and thailand, western countries, african countries etc. Whereas the foreigners in korean are only accepted if they're 1-good looking, 2- can speak the language, 3- have korean+other mix blood...
there, i said it, go on... condemn me
in my defense, this is only what i see from tv shows, never have i stayed at either country to feel what it's like being a foreigner there

However, to say that "Japanese are more open to outside influence" I think would be a little too bold a statement to make. Every country has racism issues. After all, the language thing is the biggest reason why foreign acts fail in America. And as awesome as the PV to Onegai Miwaku No Target was, its entire premise has somewhat of a racist undertone. Not to mention their gaijin fetish.  :lol:

But yeah, not enjoying Japanese Gee at all. I'm trying not to snort at the pronunciation because it's not like I can sing well in another language, and the reason I enjoy foreign pop is because I don't have to pay attention to the lyrics. But I was never a real fan of Gee in the first place and their vocal quality here is vastly inferior to the original. Especially Tiffany's line.  :(

Whathawha!? Teaser already?

I think Universal is stuck 5 years ago with this pixelated 240p quality stuff. They probably do it on purpose. I refuse to believe they are that inept. :lol:

The outfits in the teaser seem.....hit or miss, some good some really tacky (I guess that's the point). I love the look for the cover/promo pics, but they can't abandon the skinny jeans t-shirts. That's what Gee is.

Looks like they didn't use the outfits from the jacket. Why not? They're too classy for this song?




wtfcheapfest.

looks like i'm not the only one expecting to see them in their single jacket outfits.. :D really, why didn't they use them, those were nice with ties, suspenders, shorts and mini skirts..
i also thought the PV would be different from the korean version(again because of the jacket XD).. it turned out to be just like the korean MV with little changes.. i think they're prettier in this PV but song wise, i still like the Gee Korean version :D
