First and foremost, Shoujo Jidai’s official Japanese website and their Universal Music Japan site have recently been updated and teasing that ‘BIG NEWS’ will be released in 3 days.
Could it perhaps be news about their first full Japanese album?
In addition, regarding ‘Mr. Taxi’, looks like the track has not only topped music charts in both Japan and Korea simultaneously, but has also been certified Gold!
Quickly, summarizing ‘Mr. Taxi’ success. As soon after the track was released, it immediately grabbed #1 spot on Japan’s largest mobile ringtone chart, Rekochoku.
It grabbed #1 spot on Korea’s ‘Bugs! Real Time Chart’ the same day.
On the first day, more than 40,000 copies of their Japanese 3rd single were sold, taking 2nd on Oricon’s Daily Singles Chart with 40,194 copies (just a bit behind Jang Keun Seok’s ‘Let Me Cry’, which was #1 with 56,923 copies).
(Compared to their 2nd Single, ‘Gee’, which recorded 28,838 copies sold on its first day, their 3rd single had sold at least 10,000 more)
After 3 days, ‘Mr. Taxi’ topped Japan’s Oricon chart.
Their new single secured #1 on April 29th with a total of 73,914 copies sold in 3 days.
Day 1 – 40,194 copies (2nd)
Day 2 – 21,283 copies (2nd)
Day 3 – 12,437 copies (1st)
Shortly after, ‘Mr.Taxi’ grabbed #1 on Japan’s Billboard Top 100 Weekly Chart.
And just yesterday, ‘Mr.Taxi’ has been certified Gold.
After surpassing sales of 100,000 copies in one week, ‘Mr.Taxi’ has been certified Gold by Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ).

SNSD Korean 
Grats soshi! XD
And I really do think it’s the album. ssf’s recent subbed video showed fany saying their japan tour will be tracks from their 1st album which I highly doubt is going to be baby baby… So yeps… But nnnoooooo…. I just blew my allowance on a spao cap and tae’s flying petals book… But yesh! lols, I’m lost right now…
i feels ya. flying petals’s capture book just made me broke and i still have tae’s spao cap to buy :[
ARHHH!!! WHAT WOULD IT BE, ITS MAKING ME SO CURIOUS!!!
Very well deserved for Mr. Taxi…it IS a great song!
Big News = Good News…can’t wait..!
Please fulfill our wish now SME/UMJ! Full album please!
I second that.
I third that.
Is that even a sentence? Or should I have said “Me three!” instead?
Well, it seems the 1st SNSD Japanese album is finally making an appearance 😉 ! Can’t wait !!!
Congratulations to our 9 “Angels” on their successes with “Mr. Taxi” 😀 😀 😀 !!!
I heard that this month will be full of surprises for SONES…but i think we can guess that it would be the “rumored” album and the Lipton CM that has yet to surface. there’s also talks about SNSD getting an endorsement deal with the japanese franchise of 7Eleven that will be out on July.
btw: the girls are supposedly to record “Mr. Taxi” on Hey3x (my favourite Japanese music show) next week…i can’t wait!
i’d be ecstatic if it was news on their debut album effort within the Japanese market! however, will there be a lead single to the highly likely newly announced album?
And people say Kara were the ones leading the Hallyu wave. HA
But I just blew my money on Mr.Taxi x2! QQ
I’m secretly hoping for either an American debut, a really big concert event, or a SoshiBang collaboration!
I hope it’s one of those three! 🙂
gosh….my eyes keep looking at numbers and numbers….
power of soshi! XD
SNSD, fighting! ^^
kekeke im so freakin excited! maybe a new mr taxi MV with the cameo of the NY taxi driver guy whom soo and fany met in Factory Girl?? kekeke..
“Mr. Taxi” ringtone full/short jump to no. 3 & 5 today for Chaku-Uta :)…i expect their Oricon positions will jump too!
I guess it’s their !st japan full legth album with 12 songs including gee, genie, run devil run, mr. taxi
I hope so it’s true.
Maybe a korean version of Mr. taxi or something about their japanese activities!
*claps*
Congrats my loves! 😀
wow!
chukahae~
i’m excited to that BIG news 😀
DAYUUUUUM!!! unrivaled success!! CONGRATS SOSHI!!!!!!!
BIG NEWS ~~ highly dangerous for us S♥NEs!! LMAO
well since its the japanese site i guess it will be related to their activities there. we havent heard about oh! for how long so who knows just like oh’s counterpart rdr they could possibly continue on with the japanese version of oh!! and do another original japanese song to go with. or just the original song. or they could finally get their own show like kara did. or info on the concert or the japanese album.
It would be nice if it was a fill length album as I’m tired of buying stuff piece meal. I know they have enough stuff so let’s put it all together girls. Oh, and how about all their MVs on in one set! With loads of Soo Young photos too!
PLEASE LET IT BE THEM GOING TO RELEASE A FULLJAP ALBUM. THAT IS NOT THAT FREAKEN EXPENSIVE.
well, its HIGHLY likely that it would be a full length album because that’s how normally, japanese artists promote. SNSD has released 3 singles and 1 digital single (RDR + double A-side w/ “Mr. Taxi”) and usually japanese artists would then start releasing an album that includes songs they’ve released as a single. supposedly, it will have 6 new songs and 6 of their previous hits either original or translated works in japanese (meaning genie, gee, rdr, mr. taxi, and possibly oh), for a total of 12 songs. and that’s considered a normal step for a first japanese album, but i hope that they would include a carrier single too (and i hope it would be a strong ballad). but we’ll see what SM/UMJ comes out with on Monday, and “Mr. Taxi” is tied to the Lipton CM (which according to my sources, they are to film next week).
Mr. Taxi certified gold 😀 Daebak! SoShi #1, and Mr. Taxi #1
I am so happy for our ladies’ success with Mr. Taxi!!!!! Wow, astonishing results (but no surprise, c’mon its a SoShi song! lol).
Huge congratulations to So Nyuh Shi Dae!!!!!!!!!! Proud to be a SONE!
And this “BIG NEWS”….hmmm, I mean, as everyone else here as pointed, i think the only thing it could be is the first, full length Japanese album! It’s gotta be…I can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So many new updates, news, gah I can barely keep up, our girls are so busy and surprising SONEs everyday
SOSHI FIGHTING!!!!!!!
i guess its probably their 1st japanese FULL ALBUM ( wish they are not include many song from their past album that covered into japanese version…i hope UMJ releases more new japanese song BESIDE MR.TAXI) and another guess its probably UMJ will release PROMOTIONAL Picture FOR their first Japanese tours just like SME released promotional pictures for their 1st asia tour where they are wearing pink/white cherleaders uniforms…more news/infos regarding upcoming tours…
The official announcement is out on their site: http://www.girls-generation.jp/
Please update this post ASAP!
