THIS and the fact that IGAB MV already reached 100 million views is really the greatest gift we could ever give them for their 7th anniv; so I’m so proud of the Girls, and so proud of us, SONEs. We’ve done well, brothers and sisters, we’ve done well :) ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
hahahaha whoop whoop as expected indeed of SNSD/SJJD/GG 9 Goddesses. i’m so proud of them getting this ranking and holding down for almost a week at the top spot. mad respect to all Sones and of course random fans who have made this latest result for our 9 angels possible. ladies still setting record and making history after 7 yrs of debut and 4 of those 7 yrs in a foreign country. ONLY SNSD! man i’m so bloody glad i pre-order the Complete Edition. that thing is HUGE! oh my goodness it could be mistaken for a record by someone who isn’t familiar with Soshi and Japanese awesome packaging. i love awesome news like this especially concerning the Divine 9. next we might read that they gone GOLD and receive another one of those prestigious gold disc on Japan chart. another award to add to their already long list of awards. :D
