SNSD’s Japan debut performance is a success!

Yesterday, Korean girl group, Girls’ Generation (Shoujo Jidai in Japan) had a Premium Showcase Live at Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo.

They performed five songs at the live, including their Japanese debut single, “GENIE”, which goes on sale next month. All nine members of SNSD danced in unison, showed off their long legs by wearing short shorts, and wore white shirts that revealed their navels.

About 7,000 fans showed up to the group’s debut show, and Sooyoung, who is the most proficient in Japanese, said, “Seeing so many people at our first Japanese live makes me really happy.”

Since this was a ticketed event that was earned by purchasing their DVD, an estimated 22,000 fans are expected for the girls’ three performances.

The other four songs performed at the event were, “Oh,” “Run Devil Run,” “Into the New World,” and “Gee.”

There are three versions to their debut single, a first press limited edition, limited edition and regular edition.
First press limited edition includes “GENIE” in Japanese and Korean, with an instrumental. It comes with a DVD that has the “GENIE” music video (Japanese ver.) and dance ver. For those lucky enough to get this version will get in it a “special package,” photo book and 1 of 9 trading cards.

The limited edition has the same tracks as the first press, but the DVD only includes the music video and as an added bonus, a post card.

The regular version is the CD only, which includes the three tracks of “GENIE,” Japanese, Korean and instrumental, with an added bonus of a post card.
