No Music videos for Dancing Queen? And I hope they release a Music Video for Indestructible even if it’s not on the Blu-ray.
TRADING. CARD. SET.
hoping i get lucky for the Complete Limited Edition before they sold out. i’m still disappointed that i wasn’t lucky enough to get the Limited Edition (expensive version) of their 3rd Japan album. can’t wait to hear what that “indestructible” song sound like. man i wish they’d put “blue jeans” on there, instead we’re getting Mr Mr Japanese version.
I can’t wait for this album. but one thing I always have is getting trouble to purchase the album. for korean or japan fans would be easy to have it. How about us fans live outside of japan. for instance I live in Indonesia, I never have seen snsd album sold in my hometown. The regulation of purchasing online such yesasia,is quite difficult as well. There’s only a chance to see it on YT, whereas I’m eager to have all the album.
the easiest way to purchase the album in indonesia is via melodiary.
I already did it 5 times through them…
Now i just need to know when cdjapan or yesasia is going to accept pre-orders
So only Indestructible is new? kinda put out…. But hey, at least there’s the Everyday Love Video (even if it’s concert footage). Wonder what a Split Screen Version of MR. TAXI is like though… Dance 1 side, pv 1 side?
i can’t wait for their new songs! their japanese songs never fail to impress me lol
will they have any new songs in this album that they havent released yet?
Yes. We don’t know how many, but they will have new unreleased songs.
I’m guessing this will have the Japanese version of Mr. Mr. on it. But maybe it will also have a Japanese version of Hoot? What else haven’t they released in Japanese versions of, Into The New World? It would be cool if they released a bunch of Japanese versions of Korean songs.
They already have a Japanese version of Hoot. It was included in their first album but it wasn’t promoted as a single ^^
definitely will buy it *bring it on* >:D
Maybe this will be my first Japanese album from them?~ I wanna see what the physical copies look like omg.
OMG this is gonna be released on the day of my birthday !!(if you go by KST that is) I’m gonna try to buy it too!
NEW SONGS!!!!!! New songs are always the main excitement for me….nothing else matters haha #musicfan #soneforsongs #soneforsnsd
wow ~♥
Please let me have it!!! I just want it so bad…
Oh boy…. I can tell my wallet is gonna shrink a tad lot…..
There is always a slight negative to any Japanese release due to them not putting on English subtitles on DVDs and Blu-rays (dag nab it). Hoping that this will be the exception. I’m still excited for the release of course but having behind the scenes videos with no English subtitles will be a killer. Will have to keep an eye on YouTube for English subbed versions.
I am excited but at the same time I’m apprehensive. Most people I see who release a ‘best of’ kind of album plan on retiring. I hope that’s not the case at all for SoShi… =D And I’ll enjoy the album!
Don’t worry. As for Japan, is always after the 3rd. album when they release the compilation. At least that happened with BoA and KARA
Yer dang right it’ll be the best album!
But I hope there is new stuff on it, because like most people, already have all their Japanese albums.
i already own the japanese albums so they’re gonna have to impress me to make me want to buy this
So from 2010 eh … so it’s safe to assume that it’s only Japanese singles that are gonna be on the album ??
Ya, only the promoted singles EXCEPT for a few brand new songs!
I AM GOING TO BUY IT! songs on there are old and played out but it’s still another Soshi collection that needs to be in my Soshi stock. i can’t wait to hear those new songs and watch those BTS moments. i hope they’ll include “Blue Jeans” on there too because i’m dying to have that song.
thanks for update SSF <3
kyaa,OMG!! it will be release on my birthday!!
I hope it will not be move, definitely, it will be a great birthday gift.
hey can anyone tell me is this album they talked about i mean on a show they said they will release a full album . is this the one
No, the full-length album the girls talked about was 5th Korean album.
thanks
wow
