RUMORS: Gee craze re-invading Japan?!

[http://users.livejournal.com/reminisce__/]

There’s rumors floating around that Shoujo Jidai (SNSD / Girls’ Generation) is scheduled to release a Japanese version of their hit Korean single ‘Gee’ on October 20th. As many of you know, the girls released the Japanese version of ‘Genie’ last week and achieved second place on the Oricon Daily Charts.

The source of the rumor is the same source that released information about Shoujo Jidai’s initial release of Genie. So although there’s no official announcement, the likelihood of this rumor being true is pretty high.

The rumor also states that there will be 3 versions of the Single release:

1. A Regular Edition costing around 1100￥ (around $13) which includes the CD with 3 tracks: 1. Gee (日本語 Ver./Japanese Ver.), 2. Gee (韓国語 Ver./Korean Ver.) and 3. Gee (Without Main Vocal).

2/ A Limited Edition costing around 1400￥ (around $14) which will also include a bonus DVD PV of GEE.

3. A First Press Edition costing around 1800￥ (around $21) which will also include the DVD PV of GEE but also with a bonus PV of GEE Dance Version. In addition, the First Press Edition will include a Photo Book and one random photo card (out of a possible 9).

Thanks to Amy for the tip and Yurui’s World for sharing the information.

I can't even imagine how Gee would sound like in Japanese - it just seems like the quintessential Korean song that random people know to me.

[wotdoumean.livejournal.com]

yes

[dokidays.livejournal.com]

same here. but we were all dnw for snsd's jap genie at first but in the end it was pretty satisfactory. i dont think gee would be that bad. its very jpop material imo...i think we would all soon sink in snsd in japanese.

[yumenii.livejournal.com]

I wanted a original japanese single, but Gee works too. Japan will LOVE this song.

[taecish.livejournal.com]

i wish they made oh! japanese instead. :(

[dokidays.livejournal.com]

thissssssss

[rexona-woman.livejournal.com]

some rumoured lyrics for the Japanese 'Gee' have been floating around for a month or so now

[sparklop.livejournal.com]

tbqh re-releasing the first japanese single makes some sense, the whole trying the market thing.
But since it's kinda obvious that there are hardcore fans why not release a new song cause no one is going to take you really seriously in Japan if you only make money off secondhand songs

[kyupudding.livejournal.com]

Most people that aren't fans wouldn't know or care if it's secondhand.

I love SNSD but not sure if I want this. I mean how much of a difference is there going to be when most of the song is gee gee gee gee and baby baby baby baby @_@;


And personally I'm a bit...a lot over Gee. "It's so last year~"

[mingobus.livejournal.com]

Whoa I totally got Yuri and Yoona mixed up @_@

/not used to seeing Yoona in the back D: my poor bb

[mayshy.livejournal.com]

i know right? hopefully yoona haters will stop with the excuse "i hate her cause she's always in the middle" which is a pretty stupid reason but w/e girl is awesome <3

[kyupudding.livejournal.com]

I'm looking forward to a new MV.

[yellyell.livejournal.com]

I'd like something new but I'm sure as fuck not going to complain about more SNSD.

Beat wise, Gee is pretty damned infecting.

Vocally? Gee is one of the most annoying things I've heard in my life.

It's a strange combination.
