Poll? || MV TEASER!
*[UPDATE]* Just reported on Twitter: Full Genie MV will release on Sep 8 10am GMT +9.

Waiting for the Japanese Genie teaser to come out is freakin torture, but hm, interesting popularity poll came out in Japan which placed the girls in an interesting order ( article on OMNTD here).
Yoona comes out on top, of course, a good 3000 votes ahead of Yuri. I'd be surprised that Yuri was second, but it's Genie that they're promoting there, and Yuri was a sex goddess in those performances (the fact that it was 3000 votes differences is pretty surprising, though. I wonder if that's the normal range in which Yoona beats out everyone in popularity?). Tiffany beating out Taeyeon surprised me, however, not to mention seeing Sooyoung in the bottom with Hyoyeon.
This is all just through promos - I wonder if and how it'll change once they do their showcase (3 in 1 day? They're really planning to make the girls work, aren't they DX)
(P.S. When the hell is the teaser supposed to come out anyway?!?!?!) IT'S OUT WORD TO YOUR MOTHER COHERENT THOUGHTS AFTER 30 PLAYS BRB (After 1 play: WTH is this disaster I think I'm going to cry *wails*)
From Twitter:
- @soshified Kuse ni naru wa means "become an habit"
- @soshified kuse ni naru wa means like "it's so addicting" or " i'm getting addicted to~~"
- Kanji: 癖になるは
- mixounette @soshified The end particle "wa わ" indicates emotion so the correct translation of "癖になるわ" would be "it's becoming an habit..."
From chat:
癖(P); 曲 【くせ】 (n) a habit (often a bad habit, i.e. vice); peculiarity; (P)
Other words that contain that kanji in combination include:
悪癖 【あくへき; わるぐせ】 (n) (1) bad habit; vice; (2) masturbation (euph.)
飲酒癖 【いんしゅへき】 (n) alcoholic addiction
男癖 【おとこぐせ】 (n) interest in men; itch for men
男癖 【おとこぐせ】 (n) interest in men; itch for men
Huh, both use the "kuse"/"guse" kanji
女癖 【おんなぐせ】 (n) philandering
Otoko-guse / Onna-guse
... WTH DOES THIS MEAN?!?! (If they're saying that they want the audience to be addicted to them ... kinda fitting for Japan promo, don't you think? xP)
- Who's the Minho stand in?
- Cheaters, it was only 15 seconds worth you bastards
- They're totally going for "I'll be your genie" instead of "Tell me your wish" - I can catch "naru wa" - which is something like "to become" and it makes sense since they've only been promoting it as "Genie" (unlike in Korea, it was TMYW)
- Styling is totally Oh! + Genie and a little bit of that single that wasn't Gee AND I DON'T LIKE IT. PLAID DOESN'T WORK, SM, GET IT RIGHT.
- What are those grey outfits? I don't like it with that red background. If you're going to give 'em ringmaster outfits, make it a proper tailcoat, geez!! (See the credit card CF)
- Yoona and Sica are hair twins. I don't like Taeng with those braids. I want fierce Taeng from the original MV! And sexy bedroom eyes Sunny! And Sooyoung's awesome hair! WTH IS UP WITH FANY'S HAIR?! Not to mention Seohyun and Hyoyeon?! Actually, Sunny looks okay.
- Okay, blasphemous, but I want the original mv now. Dammit. I'll take creepy sim-dating MV over this. Actually, I really loved the Genie MV teaser. Well, I loved the RDR teaser and it came out alright, BUT THERE WASN'T PLAID OKAY.
- Though, how far will they stray from the original MV? They were wearing their blue uniforms in their Star Calls - so will they have that main stage? Actually, they didn't use the blue outfits in the MV - it was the white ones and the purplish ones. Hrmm.
And WTF IS THIS?!?! *goes to cry in a corner* It's like they're wearing party hats or something!!
At least ... at least there's legs? *whimpers* Doesn't look like they've touched the choreo ... Man, I miss that backlit stage with the ridiculously huge heart now, 'cause that red circus tent is doing nothing for me. 3D whatever ... Still, going to hold out for the song and the actual MV - I've no idea when either drops though ...
[EDIT] In case anyone wants something new and pretty to look at, here are photos from the Cosmo magazine they were on the cover on. (Link goes to SSF, btw.)
