Girls’ Generation’s self-titled and debut Japanese album, “Girls’ Generation”, has won “Best Album of the Year” at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards Japan, which awards artists for their music and videos through online voting. Other nominees for “Best Album of the Year” included international superstars Lady Gaga and Coldplay, fellow Korean girl group Kara, and popular Japanese singer JUJU. Earlier this year, “Girls’ Generation” was also awarded with the “Best Album of Asia” at the 26th Japan Gold Disc Awards, showing the album’s continuing success.


Released in June of 2011, “Girls’ Generation” was well-received both in Japan and worldwide, breaking several different records. The album sold 232,000 copies in its first week and remained in the Oricon chart’s top ten albums list for seventeen weeks, both records for foreign artists. The album continues to sell thousands of copies each week with 209,679 copies sold in the first half of 2012 and has been certified “Million” by the Recording Industry Association of Japan for having reached a shipment total of one million copies.

It's crazy how much I've listened to this album.
Their debut album will always be my favorite, but this one holds the second spot.
Solid album.

Ngel, this is probably the only album that they've ever released that I actually liked all the songs on it O__O

Usually I only like a few songs off their albums along with their promotional singles...But this album was FLAWLESS *O*

idg the hype for this. It's not a bad album, but it's a very generic album.

edit: that's a very random list for who was up for this award.

me neither. idt its a horrible album but it wasn't memorable and i listened to the whole thing expecting to like a lot of songs bc of everyone's reactions, yet i can't even remember one song.

and ia, with the exception of that japanese group i thought this was only for foreigners at first. where are all the other famous japanese artists? lol

lmao no she's not i cant believe ur trying to argue this. and ur such a dumb shit cause like i said idgaf if they're flopping or not, most japanese stars sell better than kpop artists that me thinking my faves might sell more is ridic. lol but since u seem to care so much about sales are u sure ur not confusing b1a4's sales with BB's? cause alive got gold in japan already.

since u stan kpop groups too all this shit ur saying applies to u too fucking idiot lol

It is sort of generic but as far as Pop alums go it was really good. It's not the best Japanese album of last year, not close imo but it's a good album.

Well-deserved imo. I love their Japanese discography.

Although I have to say, having sort of rediscovered Oh! recently, I have no idea why I was indifferent to it before because I'm addicted to it now. Their Korean discography is not necessarily inferior.

Talking of Super Girl, DSP and UMJ were lazy as hell with the album. Step should have been their third single on it and they should have gotten rid of some of the generic songs. But Only For You is the best original song by any Kpop group, that song is simply perfection imo. If they had more of that quality on the album then it would have gotten a better reception among the fans.

Slightly OT but is there a member that's particularly popular in Japan? For some reason I've gotten the impression that Jessica would be and I have no reason why. I think I might have read an article about it?

I think it's Yoona, in the japan fan sites, yoona has the most subscribers or fans and then I think it was either Taeyeon os Sooyoung. BUt yeah Yoona and Sooyoung are pretty popular over there from what I gathered from fan accounts. I could be wrong though

edit: i meant this for the person above lol srry

The nomination for this category is really random. Where are all the million sales albums from J-Pop artists? :O

i don't think they made the cut off date and no idols allowed.

From: [identity profile] tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com
Wait, SNSD & Kara are not idol groups? This is brand new information! How about B'z or Namie or other Japanese top selling acts? Oh well, this is online voting -- which they will lose without a doubt since we all know its more like popularity contest instead of the actual quality of the album.

Date: 2012-06-24 05:09 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] itskimbitches.livejournal.com
yeah snsd are considered artists, but idk about kara.

namie and b'z didn't release any albums. this show really caters to foreign acts tbh. there were some high selling non-idol acts but i guess fans didn't vote for them.

Date: 2012-06-24 05:27 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com
Didn't Namie released her 'Checkmate' album while for B'z, their 'C'mon' album last year? I remember it pretty well they released it around the time Gaga & Shojo Jidai album releases -- I could be wrong though...

Date: 2012-06-24 06:08 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] itskimbitches.livejournal.com
i don't know what the cut off date is but namie's was released in april while snsd is june and b'z is july.

b'z's album did ok but didn't hit platinum while snsd and namie's did...

you know what this was a fan vote thing, si i think snsd and kara got the fan vote while the award show through in coldplay and gaga becuz they are popular.
