Girls’ Generation’s first Japanese album “Girls’ Generation” has sold over 850,000 units, becoming one of the top selling albums in Japan this year. However, with the recent announcement of a re-packaged album going on sale, the countdown to one million copies has officially started.
Pre-orders for the re-packaged album have already started today, which will arrive in stores on December 28. Two new songs will be present in the new album, one which will be the Japanese version of “The Boys”, which was released worldwide on October 19. The second of the two songs is titled “Time Machine”. Also included on the album will be the remixed versions of “Mr.Taxi”, “The Great Escape” and “BAD GIRL”.
Once the album reaches one million copies sold, it’ll be the first time any Korean group has ever accomplished this feat in Japan. With such an incredible milestone in reach, Girls’ Generation’s appearances at major shows such as the “FNS Music Festival” and the “62nd Kouhaku” are well deserved.
If Girls’ Generation’s album reaches the one million sold mark, it will be the first album to reach this difficult plateau in Japan this year.

Soshi Fighting..
OMG. I’m so happy for them and they will surely get one million copies sold. I just know it. This really is an amazing achievement for them.
When I heard they more details about the album and that it was going to include a brand new song, I was hoping it would be Time Machine or Hikkup. Looks like my wish came through!! I’m looking forward to the remixes as well, Bad Girl especially.
I had to order both limited editions… I wanted the coaster and the posters. XD
All the best to the girls :) I’m glad to hear that Kara and Soshi especially soshi (since they’re my bias group lol) are doing so well in Japan ~ all the best to everyone hehe .
is it just me or does this seem like a mere
formality at this point? the girls are so close
without the repackaged album, and if sales
of repackaged albums of the past are any
indicator, they are going to CRUSH this mark!
come on sones!!! let’s give snsd another record!
OMG OMG OMG!
I’m gonna buy both DEFINITELY!
THE POWER OF NINE FIGHTING!

Im sure the gals can surpass that figure easily.
Go J-Sones & i-Sones.
GG will make history again. :D
J-Sones!!! I’ll try to help you guys too before the year ends. Really excited about this Repackaged album.
Btw, why does it say Oricon that the album only sold 600,000 plus copies I think? Does Oricon only count the sales in Japan and sites that count toward Oricon like Yesasia? They didn’t count the album sales from Korea, Taiwan, Philippines and other Asian countries where the album was released?
soshi hwaiting!!! lets go SONEs make the 1million happen!!
Hwaiting ! SoNE FOREERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR… :) <3
Hit the 1 million copies come on! I know SNSD can do it ! SONE all jjang ! <3
Though i’m almost broke, my fingers are itching to buy it.

i wanna contribute, but i don’t have that kind of money. T-T
have to wait for my comm, and see what i’ll do about it.
anyway,

hope they’ll reach 1 mill mark by the end of this year.
so excited!
The countdown to one million copies has officially started!
Already pre-ordered mine! :D
So proud of them! The album is out to pre-order on CDJapan by the way, if you hadn’t noticed yet: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=UPCH-29078
Do this well Japan Sones!!!
omg people please go buy the album so it can reach the 1,000,000 mark by the end of the year. ahhh it’s so close to getting there and it’s really incredible in such short time for a Korean group to do so. you know usually it’d be a local artist or a International superstar who will get those kind of results, but for a kpop group that’s coming over on the charts, it’s really amazing. they will be the 1st kpop group and i guess the second kpop artist to get a million since BoA sold a million of her album. ONLY SNSD! ONLY SM! Thanks SSF! :)
btw i’m going to get that repackage later when i find some money. ><
i believe in the power of nine, the girls can do anything :)!! <3
