Date: 2020-08-05 02:10 pm (UTC)You guys have no idea how happy I am seeing all of them together again. Almost all of them (besides Seohyun) are in their 30s now, they're grown up women and I am so damn proud of what they have achieved. I miss them so much but at the same time I'm happy that they get to enjoy life and their hard earned money now. They also seem to really love and cherish each other. #GG4EVA ❤️❤️❤️
(I was thinking about doing a post about Tiffany's birthday but I'm too lazy lol)

Date: 2020-08-05 03:06 pm (UTC)"Only heaven knows, knows, knows!" I love this song! And I love the lyrics, they are so inspiring! I used to listen to it a lot when it first came out.
I'm happy they're able to find their own success and that we're still getting all kinds of content from them individually. Hopefully, ITNW will be played at protests forever.

Date: 2020-08-05 04:01 pm (UTC)and maybe one day we'll get new music).Happy birthday to Jessica for not only debuting 13 years ago and building an incredible legacy with the members, but also for reinventing herself on her own terms <3 I wish she could celebrate the date more openly too, and be acknowledged in some way. It's her birthday as well.
I've been their fan for nearly 10 years now, so it's always an emotional moment for me. So much of my life happened with their songs playing as background music... I know they're not perfect and I won't ever shield them for any of their mistakes, but in some ways, it's healing? My idols are humans too. Life is messy.
I'm also a woman getting into her 30s, like them. I'll never achieve the same level of success they have lol (and I don't want to) but there's something really inspiring about seeing them going on their different paths now. Like some distant friends I look up to when I need it.
Time for me to replay their discography and cry while attempting to sing Into the New World lmao
I think I'll come back to edit this comment with my favourite songs once I'm on my computer :)

Date: 2020-08-05 07:06 pm (UTC)Fave songs!!! I posted about the anniversary a bit on my Insta stories yesterday and wanted to include my favourite SNSD track. Naming my ultimate song of theirs is difficult because I love so much of what they released for so many reasons.... I wanted to go with Reflection but thats not on Spotify, so instead I chose Day by Day! That one is so pretty and it gives me such good feelings, I'll always adore it.
no subject
Date: 2020-08-06 07:40 am (UTC)For some reason SNSD's music really stick out to me compared to other groups I was (also) really into at that time. There's a specific connection above everything, an additional layer from having kept up with them so much and for so long.
I took a break from Insta
I think mine would be Into the New World, for some reason this song amplify any feeling I currently feel. Feeling sad? Brings me to tears. Feeling productive? Gives me the extra boost I need to start. Feeling hopeful? Comforts me on my path. I don't really know how or why
Day By Day used to be my wake-up alarm! The gentle pinao and flute introduction was such a sweet way to wake up <3

Date: 2020-08-06 10:00 am (UTC)ITNW is above favourites. It's the best song ever and the way you describe it here really resonates with me??? It really is like that TT
no subject
Date: 2020-08-06 01:24 pm (UTC)I love the lyrics so much. It was a really good choice to make it about moving forward despite inevitable struggles, without specifying the goals or the struggles themselves. The MV even plays on this with each girl have different goals. It speaks to everyone this way. I think it's a major reason why it's used during protests. It's definitively a reason why I love it so much haha

Date: 2020-08-06 05:50 am (UTC)same, I've consumed entertainment from the girls from my late teens, and through difficult times, so they'll always hold a special place in me. the feels are strong in this year's anniversary! (and if you'll want to cry more, how about also listening to Divine?)
no subject
Date: 2020-08-06 07:45 am (UTC)I feel like not only have I been listening to them since I entered adult life (started listening to them around 19), but I've kept up with them, and their sound evolution somehow mirrored how I was evolving as well. Or maybe they kept shaping my tastes? I don't know lmao.
Divine actually came up yesterday evening! I had put their entire discography on shuffle. Jessica's high note always give me cheels and make me want to cry ;_;

Date: 2020-08-05 09:36 pm (UTC)I’m not crying you’re crying.SNSD will always & forever be 9 for me. I hope one day, we can see all 9 together again – the way it should be. Happy anniversary to Jessica, too. SNSD just isn’t the same SNSD without her. 😭
The
girlswomen aren’t perfect, but I don’t think anyone can deny the impact they have made & the success that they have had. Seeing them grow from bb SNSD that seemingly everyone disliked to the SNSD that became the Nation’s Girl Group these past 13 years has been a gift. Here’s to many many many more years of success & happiness, for all 9! 🥂Also, their first Japan album was absolutely pure pop perfection. Every single solitary song on it is amazing.

Date: 2020-08-05 10:32 pm (UTC)I only own 1 K-Pop CD and it happens to be their first japanese album lol but that cd really is flawless. Their whole japanese discography is great but their first album is just *chefs kiss*
no subject
Date: 2020-08-05 09:52 pm (UTC)I still didn't really get that invested though, they fell by the wayside for me in 2016-2017 (so I was on the sidelines for the 10th anniversary... sigh). I feel like maybe there was a lot of drama/fuckery around this time that just kind of turned me off them? I really don't remember, K-pop in general kind of fell off for me a bit at this time, burn out from 2015 maybe lol
But they all seem a lot more chilled out these days, I guess due to getting older, not having to be 'on' as much all the time, and getting to pursue their solo projects which is nice to see.
What started off as a sort of distraction last summer turned into legit admiration, the fact that they're my age helps. They've pretty much been the soundtrack to my year, a bright spot in what has overall been a pretty blah year even pre-covid. I'm thankful to them for that and I'll keep looking forward to whatever they put out, as a group and any solo projects.
So I'm waaaayyy late as a fan, but I'm glad I got there eventually lol
I know Catch Me If You Can probably doesn't have much standing overall, but I like it and it was my first comeback so it has a special place for me lol
And justice for Hoot
I'm not gonna name all my fave songs, there are a lot and I've written enough for now lol
no subject
Date: 2020-08-05 10:25 pm (UTC)And if it helps, their 10th anniversary didn’t feel that special since SM really rushed everything :/ its kinda like how this year they (their official SNSD if account) posted a basic ass anniversary pic...just not much effort. It was a sign of the beginning of the end (at least speaking just for me) since I expected the TOP girl group for yearssss to have a huge celebration for their 10 years and...nope.
no subject
Date: 2020-08-05 10:36 pm (UTC)Hoot is not one of my favorite song of theirs but the choreo is. It looks easy but is actually super difficult.
no subject
Date: 2020-08-06 12:31 am (UTC)The choreo for CMIYC is fire! Soshi usually has simpler choreos but when they get something more complex, they really get into it! Absolutely love watching performances of this.
Hoot is such an iconic era because of the outfits. Soshi as bond girls is such a look. Also, Hoot is one of the choreos I learnt to do.
no subject
Date: 2020-08-06 05:53 am (UTC)CMIYC I feel it only got more recognition much later when the girls started performing it. it'll always be their first 8 membered comeback and they really put a lot effort into trying to make it work
no subject
Date: 2020-08-06 07:55 am (UTC)Hoot is one of my favourite titles by them! The styling was iconic, and it's another really good choreography for them,the transitions are so smooth. Such a catchy song.
The 10th anniversary was a very frustrating time for SNSD and the fans alike because of how SM handled it... don't feel bad for missing it :')

Date: 2020-08-06 05:32 pm (UTC)I mean their own company sidelined them for their own anniversary!
no subject
Date: 2020-08-05 09:53 pm (UTC)I teared up watching their debut mv and then teared up again watching the Tokyo Dome ballad version. I hope Jessica had a wonderful time celebrating. Still wishing to get an ot9 interaction at some point in the future. Like anything. I’ll even settle for a liked post 😭
Also the smstore is releasing a bunch of gg merch like candles and tea and I’m going to absolutely cash in and buy some if I can because I have no self-control.

Date: 2020-08-05 11:49 pm (UTC)i never became a proper fan of theirs but i've always loved their title tracks (and their japanese discography) and their dances were the very first kpop dances i learned! to this day the only kpop song i can dance all the way through is genie and i've been a fan for so long, lmao.
echoing all the comments about hoping one day there can be a true ot9 reunion. i hope jessica found a way to celebrate today too.

Date: 2020-08-06 12:47 am (UTC)Because I don't have the energy to invest in stanning another GG that hard again but mostly because no other group has really impacted me as much as them lolCheers to many more years with these ladies! \o/We better get an actual comeback some time this century SM, especially after you fucked up their 10th anniversary...Let's hope there is something for their 15th anniversary at least!As we all know, their Japanese discography >>>>>> Korean discography. Their first Japanese album is solid, even if almost half of the songs were remakes. There is always at least 2 bangers on these albums. Watching their first Japanese tour legit made me a full on stan! Tbh, Soshi are one of the few kpop groups that have great Japanese songs overall. A lot of kpop group either release remakes, some half assed song that is cringey/cutesy or a basic song that is mostly English. That's why I appreciate their Japanese discography so much more because their songs have legit replay value. Their last two Korean albums were pretty good actually, Lion Heart is hands down my fave Korean album from them ever but Holiday Night is not far behind. I never thought I'd get into Soshi initially because I wasn't feeling their music, but now I'm even jamming to songs from their debut album lmao XD I also appreciate that they always do something very distinct for each era, their concepts are legit iconic. I really do love these unnies, not only are they a joy to watch on stage (bless that charisma) but they are also absolutely hilarious on variety - their Weekly Idol episode is probably one of the best episodes from that show, even if you're not a fan.
