Because SME is probably thinking the same thing as Taeng:
Why Not... Is taking advantage of the innocent wrong? >=D
If you don’t understand… Japan will be getting a ‘Hoot’ album release, but it will only be the Korean versions of the songs. No new tracks, no new versions of songs, nothing we haven’t heard before. But a Japanese album-jacket and a DVD of the Ariake Showcase will certainly make people want to buy it! (;___;) The tracklist will be the same as the Korean Hoot, but will also contain an additional 6 bonus tracks (namely the promotional songs).
1. HOOT
2. MISTAKE
3. MY BEST FRIEND
4. WAKE UP
5. SNOWY WISH
○bonus tracks
6. Gee
7. Genie
8. Oh!
9. Run Devil Run
10. SHOW! SHOW! SHOW!
11. Be Happy
There are 4(?) versions:
Premium(?) Edition: [CD + DVD] – 3990yen
Regular Limited Edition [CD + DVD] – 3200yen
Normal Edition [CD + DVD] – 2500yen
CD – 1800yen
[The DVD contains the Ariake Showcase from August, as well as the HOOT mv.]
I’m not too sure what the difference between the first 3 versions are other than being ‘limited’. We will update this post as we find out more.

Sigh, #lifeofasone is a broke one right? I’m personally really looking forward to the Ariake showcase release, as it’s pretty much a mini-soshi concert. Until SM decides to one day give us ITNW bluray or something *fingers crossed*, this will have to do. (and no, I don’t know when that might be. It could be in the next lifetime =_=).
It also seems that they were really going for upbeat and catchy tracks with the bonus content, but I think they’re undervaluing the power of ballads. Maybe I’m just a sucker for them, but Star Star Star and Mistake both proved to be strong contenders upon album release. It would’ve been nice to see Star x3 and Complete included, or maybe even some of soshi’s selddomly promoted songs that are a bit different.
Either way, this is a good chance for Japanese fans to indulge in some SNSD goodness with a mini-‘best-of’ (imo) type of album. And SeoTae? Why not! The leaadaa is a cheeattta.

I can’t agree with you more. I think ballads (loosely) such as Star Star Star, Talk to me, and Day by day really shows the dynamics of the girls.
If SM at least put one new Japanese song on this, the album would be understandable to buy, but… it’s all the same songs. Another way of getting easy money I guess, and hopefully they use the money wisely. Money down the drain this year- lol
Wah! Soshi…
Wooo! they rule!
But they will not be paritcpting at NHK 2010 =(
The company said, not this year
… DEFINITELY Next year!
Muahhahahaha…. (even Kara and BB)
Maybe b’coz their still fresh!?
SoShi is Dominating definitely next year!
SNSD hwaiting!
High five Greentee for listing three of the best Soshi ballads. I hope to see them to do an original Japanese ballad one day, I think it will happen eventually. Ballads are still the best choice for showcasing true vocal talent, in case the Japanese still have any doubts on whether the girls are idols or artists.
Complete is still my favorite SNSD song. I think they only performed it once on television. They need to do that song on a show like Chocolate or LaLaLa.
F UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU SME
I JUST ORDERED MY HOOT ONLINE AND THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT ME AND THE OTHER SONES?!!!
UBER RAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
pardon for the caps D:
Agree with u mate. If I know about this release, I’d save my money for this one.I’m all 4 supporting this girls but I definitely want as much goodies as possible for each purchase.
Hmmmmm……..:) May just consider it if only for the Japanese showcase DVD 😀 !!! SNSD JJANG !!!
LOL nice ending. “the leada is a cheataa”, i literally laughed out loud. but then again maybe its just me that find the littlest things hilarious. Does this mean snsd is going back to Japan for their album release? … D;
Right… SME is really really trying to make us broke… waaaaa… If it were not for the showcase, I would skip the japanese hoot. But i really wanna have a dvd of the showcase… Goshhhhh
SONE, please vote for SOSHI!

So anybody here knows when this will be sold online?
that picture looks cute 😉 taeng looks cute.
>’The leaadaa is a cheeattta< lol totally!!
but if it's my beloved SeoTae then i approve 😀
LOL I guess SM are already tired of getting complaints how SNSD’s Japanese songs are remakes of Korean songs. This time they just release Korean songs and see how people react. I think this proves that SNSD are promoting in Japan as foreign artists rather than as Japanese artists.
Foreign or Japanese artistes, I believe SNSD has already carved for themselves an IMPRESSIVE niche in the Japanese music market 😀 😀 😀 !!!! SNSD JJANG !!!
“Hoot” already appeared on the Oricon chart long before SM decided to promote the song over there, so I think its only natural that they promote the song because it shows how well Japan take note of the girls :)…they even reported Tiffany’s injury!
i am sorta excited for this release but….whats the point of this album? its not a best of….or is it im not sure but it seems a bit random they should have focused more on japanese songs
this is good in a way because if you think about it, as they are already releasing a japanese hoot album with most of thier greatest hits from korea! this means that thier first original japanese album will be full of completley new material along with Genie (Japanese Version) & Gee (Japanese Version) !
Nice pic
kekeke..
Seororo represents the innocent Japan
hahaha LOL
Yeah, absolutely 200% agree..
#LIFEOFASONE is a broke one..
Nothing we could do about it..

I heard that the ITNW concert DVD is in the making..
I dont know though it is only a rumor or true..
I hope it’s true :DD
I would absolutely buy the Japanese Hoot,
especially with the Ariake Showcase..
But after I saved some more..
