ALL KILL in all aspects. KILL records, KILL charts, KILL FANS. XD

Couldn't have said it better. Right, Heenim? ❤


Today, here's what my gratitude journal should look like:
1. Thanks for Inkigayo.
2. Thanks for TP files.
3. Thanks for happiness over men in suits.
4. Thanks for happiness over naughty smirks.
5. Thanks for less angry expressions.

I wonder how soon can men in uniform upload UCC videos of them dancing to Mr. Simple?^^ THIS is the dance to cover, right? Come on Korean ahjussi's, let's start the trend here.

And here are some goodies:










And then of course I'm far from over from yesterday's Music Core~
꺄아아아아아!!! Sungmin, my fishnet baby!!!






I want to do gifs for a LOT more caps from the perfs but it's proving to be such a CHALLENGE to do some work and stop replaying the perfs over and over and over again. If there is an awards CHART in Kpop for MOST NUMBER OF PERF REPLAYS, I daresay that suju would be daesang in an instant!

Beautiful people of the world, vote for Mr. Simple on MNET MCountdown pretty please! THIS is what we want to see for the next weeeeeeksssssss.


You know our 13 Stars deserve it ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★.

☊ #MrSimple official MV ☊

(pardon the incoherence... lots of it)
Define IRRESISTIBLE.





I LOVE IT ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ (love it love it love it love it love it!!!!!)
And I can't stop watching it. SERIOUSLY.



The choreography is absolutely perfect! ^^ There's no one on his right mind who wouldn't want to mimic the dance steps. I mean its so inevitably addicting. I adore this part which is like the manly version of Roly Poly chorus? But just you know, TONS cooler hahah ^^



And then of course they did so well to BLOW YOUR MIND~

Here are some more gifs to feast on.... Kyaaa!!! I'll go back to spazzing now.

This is the E.P.I.C. dance break ~

☊ more #MrSimple pics ☊

It's the eve of the comeback perf = day of the MV release = day of the PRESS CONFERENCE.
Every sapphire-blue-blooded ELF out there must be at the edges of their sanity... waiting with bated breathe at the onset of HISTORY. Dramatic much?

So anyway, this week has been seriously HECTIC. The HUGE album was just released yesterday and ofcourse the internet was flooded with the gorgeous pictures of the guys. So INDEED, there are 10 different UNCHANGEABLE hardcovers. So INDEED, SM will be like pulling in the profit of their lifetime haha ^^. No complaints though ... wouldn't mind a hardcover with Ming for myself.

And then as though the excitement on the album release was not enough (Thanks To translations plaguing the internet all night), SM just released more photos of the gorgeous boys.

(hey, how come Ming's got different background colors? mmmm)


What did I tell you, SM? Just release ALL of their pictures from the photographer's film hahah ... Seriously, we can't get enough of them.

Kinda funny if you put them side by side ... Hyuk looks like he really needs to get out of his red clothes. Hae looks like he is smelling his hair. Siwon just woke and got "dressed" i.e. draped a coat over his shoulders and took his helmet, off to work now?

5집 officially sets the record for:

BIGGEST album size
MOST NUMBER of album covers
MOST NUMBER of teaser pics
MOST colors
MOST fishnets
MOST ropes
MOST feathers
and LEAST clothes for Siwon.

(i think).

So MV and press con in an hour ... what will happen next?

☊ #MrSimple on Soribada ☊

To Soribada or not to Soribada, that was the question yesterday. And fans sure know how to get their answers, huh? Soribada has just posted a pretty neat explanation on how their chart works. I was already convinced from reading about it on other blogs yesterday, but this official explanation really seals the deal for me.

So Soribada ❤ Music says this:



And so with that, I'm sure international fans wouldn't hesitate on buying the album from Soribada anymore, right!?!? ^^ Soribada just tweeted that Mr. Simple will be out by 11AM KST... I sure hope this means that the graphics on the english site will be upgraded ...

Here's how the english site looks like now. It's not all out for Super Junior YET:


See, it's a bit difficult to find Mr Simple on the list of tracks on the right. I want a big like HUGE pic of the awesome teaser pics on this page (haha, that's just me though). But it's there and you can download the songs from there. After downloading Mr Simple, do STREAM on Soribada so we get more points on the charts!!!!

Streaming POINTERS:

1. Listen to the entire song.
2. Log out and then re-log-in to listen again ^^. They say that this is the only way for your streaming to get counted. Sure, why not, right?
3. Do NOT put your playlist on LOOP.
4. Do NOT MUTE.
5. Do NOT STREAM BETWEEN 11pm KST - 12amKST.

Meanwhile, Korean Soribada is like tons cooler ^^




And I did mention yesterday that you can share the 1-minute previews in facebook, twitter or what have you ^^. So nice ^^. Too bad, foreigners can't purchase from here anymore. But we can still just visit the site and SHARE!!!

Here's how the other music portal sites look like. Click on the images to go to the site!!

MNET


NAVER


AND THE MOST PIMPED UP IS THIS: BUGS! ❤❤❤

☊ LOVING mr. simple Part 2 (elf support) ☊

So ok, after the non-monetary support comes the monetary one ^^. The first obvious thing is to buy the actual album! But of course you have to buy from those which will count in the awards. I believe Synnara and Hottracks are like super confirmed sources to buy from. There are others, so just google them to check if they will count on the charts.

Here's a breakdown of how the Korean Music Charts work:

source and full credits: ★★MUST READ★★ How to make Super Junior WIN in all Chart!!

KBS Music Bank

* 60% Digital sales + 15% Album sales + 15% Appearance in Music Programs + Fondness Scale/Viewer Rating
* Appearance in Music Programs calc: TV : RADIO; 7 : 3

SBS Inkigayo

* 60% Digital Downloads + 5% Album Sales + 5% Homepage votes + 20% Search results + 10% Broadcast Time
* Sites for calculation of digital sales: Soribada, Melon, Mnet, SBS (site)
* Sites for calculation of album sales: Hanteo Chart, Shinnara Media, HotTracks
* Sites for calculation of searches: Naver, Empas
* Votes are referring to: Mobile votes + SBS (site) votes

Mnet M! Countdown

* 50% Sales Count + 30% Online Voting + 10% Mnet’s Judging + 10% Live Text Voting

Golden Disk Awards

* Album sales 60% + Audience Vote 20% and Committee Vote 20%

So you see, the online part is a major factor on the music shows. So the second obvious monetary support is to buy their digital album. And I think it's just awesome how kpop (and suju in particular) is strongly promoting legal downloads of mp3's from music sites. There's really no better time to start doing this (if you haven't yet) than during album promotions. Meanwhile, if you have always been a dutiful netizen, the challenge with kpop songs is that purchasing the digital songs and supporting the artists aren't always in synch. You can easily purchase from iTunes but that wouldn't count on Korean Music Shows (which we want) ... So, international fans have to make sure that they are making their purchases count for suju, right? After much confusion on twitter earlier, it seems like everyone has settled on buying from Soribada. Here are 2 links that should convince you too:

• [TUT] Sign Up, Stream & Download from Kpop.Soribada! English Version of Soribada for LEGAL digital music downloads
• What else you should do at Soribada [Tutorial]

I personally like the Korean Soribada, cos it's way more fun for me so far (haven't spent a lot of time browsing the other sites yet). I think I favored this site last year during 4집 as well. And now, see here, I abused the 좋아요 links for Mr. Simple haha ^^ Cool way to share on Facebook and Twitter, right?



There's also Naver (which I think I would try) and Mnet (I want to try this too). It really wouldn't hurt to download Mr. Simple from all of these sites ^^. Besides, we're doing everything we can to support the boys, right? ^^
