can’t really wait to get my hands on the album!!
Does anyone know if it’s going to be on itunes any time soon? I mean they did release their latest japanese singles so hopefully they do release the whole album on itunes. My album won’t come for another 2 weeks and I’m so ready to buy it on itunes if it comes out soon.
yeah truly amazing!
The album is definetly a nice one; with songs that’ll give you engery and hyped up to meaningful songs with light loving lyrics.
One thing I don’t really like about the Japanese album is that they tend to over techno the girls’ voice. Sometimes I can barely hear the difference in their voices and the songs in the album seem to sound alike. If they’d lessen down on the production of effects and everything, maybe it’d appeal to me more.
But, this is the hard work of the girls’ and the album was a good surprise. The songs are catchy and really put me in the mood to move around and dance.
WOW.. AMAZINGGG.. I will definitely bought this.. They are totally Awesome.. SNSD Hwaiting..
Cant wait to see your TOUR in Indonesia again.. This time have to be SNSD only.. :D Daebak
Epic album they’re getting better and better
Soshi fighting
Taeny hwaiting
I am absolutely in love with this album! Not Alone is by far my favorite song, it almost made me tear :)
Anybody else read that akp article from a year ago stating that Boomerang was supposed to be their title track instead of Gee for 2009? http://www.allkpop.com/2011/11/snsds-unreleased-track-boomerang-surfaces-online I liked it before and in Japanese, I’m liking it as well! If the article is true, then kudos to you SM! For choosing Gee over Boomerang!
On to the album, T.O.P is so girl power, I’m loving it! As for the other songs, I think I’ll have to have the whole album on repeat for me to like ’em, unlike my instant love for most of their songs in their first album.
Now, since it is a full album, the girls are probably busy learning choreography for ALL their songs for their tour this coming January. I’m so jealous, I wanna watch their tour LIVE as well, not just from my laptop…
Hwaiting soshi unniedeul!
This whole album is amazing!
I’m absolutely loving “Not Alone” and I hope they sing that on stage, they must!
“Stay Girls” is also another beautiful song, and I hope SNSD is here to stay for a long time. (:
Boy, am I stoked to see how they choreograph “T.O.P” [if they did]!
That song’s got a strong feel and the dancing must be powerful.
Even “Beep Beep” from their “Flower Power” single is great.
*Sigh* I wish it wash was released on the U.S. iTunes.
Oh well, I think I prefer physical copies over digital.
I like having it in my hands… does anyone else feel that way?
anybody tell me: How many “GIRLS’ GENERATION II ~Girls & Peace~” album was sold in Japan, please?
if i’m not wrong (i read it in the wikipedia) in its first day it was sold around 46031 and for the total sales around 70099.
Truly Angelic voices <3<3
The album sounds pretty good! I look forward to one day owning this!
good
This is an amazing Album I just love it and love all of GG especially Yuri … Girls I’m rooting for you so please make an English Album.
Yoona’s coming to NYC?!! LOL jk I know it’s not true though… Btw, does anyone know if snsd is really going to go to America in 2013?
I wish to buy the album. Sigh.
I didn’t plan on getting this one, but after hearing everything on there I am off to order it now.
Great sounding Album wish it would get released on Vinyl.
It’s an awesome album but the sales make me sad. It deserves the same amount of love the 1st Japanese album got or even more, and no political conflicts should influence that. Anyway, I can’t wait to receive my copy!
the sales for this drop a bit from when they release their 1st Japan album in 2011 on day 1, but it’s still a good number 46,031 and position #2 on day 1. 1st Japan album came out just when they were ready to tour so it was a major promotion and falls right in smoothly. Timing was PERFECT. 2nd Japan not many major promotion so it affects sales but let’s wait for when 2nd Arena Tour starts, we might see a big change. JSones are incredible with their support.
What.. It says Jessica is coming to SYDNEY!!!.. EXCITED!! hahahahahahaha..
i cannot believe that i have not commented
on this article yet…i could have sworn i did…
but anyway…i can share the excitement for
the newly released album…but the only preview
i’ve listened to is the smash up because i got
my flower power single…and it is wicked
awesome…but i will reserve my uninhibited
bliss for when i get my official album and listen
to it on my sound system…i know i could get
the digital copy now, but i’m not even home…
i will get home around when i get my album…
so i will just patiently wait…ok…not patiently…
but i will wait for that amazing moment!!!
Not Alone,T.O.P ,stay girls is a great song!!! :D
where’s “beep beep” ?
that’s only on the Flower Power single, so if you want it you gotta get that single.
Grrrr I’m so sick of these (over) producers that totally smother the Girls’ solos voices & harmonies with so much ridiculous background pyrotechnics. Hey idiots these Girls can SING! They are not the crappy auto-tuned/pro-tooled-to-death teenage cautionary tales you are used to working with in Japan (I’m looking at you AKBK4323421954whatev). There is NO NEED to amp up the accompaniment to +50 to hide deficiencies. BECUZ THERE AREN’T ANY! Set the Girls’ voices free!
That being said, I’m so getting this when it comes out. Maybe there is a tool I can use to tone down the background noize…
Please send me a copy of that tool when you get it. <<
If I may add how sick I got of the name-dropping that happened in there. Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, J-Lo, SRSLY?! I listened to these girls for the sake of AVOIDING all those names. (Well, not J-Lo, she's sweet when she wants to be.) Not meaning to bash, but I hope those girls really landslide in popularity when they release their English album.
why should “all my love is for you” at the bottom T.T its a great song!!!!
Maybe it’s saving the best for last, perhaps ;P
this album is a freakin’ success ! to be honest, i was never interested in their japanese songs other that the main singles like ‘mr. taxi’ ‘bad girl’ and ‘time machine’ etc, but this album .. i want it to play in my funeral and i’ll leave this world happily :P
i’m glad snsd released a whole album that i can enjoy fully like all their other albums ( besides the boys in my opinion ) .. they seriously exceeded my expectations on this on , i’m super proud of them as a sone !! i hope their korean comeback will be as DAEBAK or more if that was possible !
only a true artist can have a whole awesome album, and snsd did that <3
