SNSD grows stronger in Japanese music Industry!
The popularity of South Korean girl group, Girls’ Generation continues to soar undauntedly in Japan.
According to a Japanese music site, CDV-NET, Girls’ Generation’s “MR.TAXI/Run Devil Run” single came in 7th on the weekly charts and was the only South Korean group which made the top 10. Ever since their label mate, TVXQ, made the entry into the top 10, there has not been any other South Korean artist on the list. The data was collected from the 4th of July to the 10th, and even though both singles were roughly released 3 months ago on the 27th of April, they remain just as popular as ever.
Girls’ Generation’s Japanese debut single, “Genie” is also still on the charts after a good 9 months, and is currently at the 35th position. Ever since the release of the single on 20th October 2010, “Gee” has remained on the top 100 weekly charts for 38 consecutive weeks, further proving their takeover in Japan. This week, the certified Gold single was placed 25th on the chart. As there are more than 3,500 artists on CDV-NET, the popularity of an artist can be easily judged based on the ranking of their albums and singles.
Ever since Girls’ Generation first announced their plans to break into the Japanese music industry back in September, their album sales have increased in folds. Their debut single, “Genie”, was awarded the Gold certificate for selling more than 100,000 copies. Less than a year later, Girls’ Generation’s self-titled first Japanese album sold more than 100,000 copies in less than 2 days, and has since been certified as Double-Platinum for selling more than 500,000 albums.
Meanwhile, Girls’ Generation will be starting off their 2nd tour on the 23rd of July at the Seoul Olympic Park Stadium, 5 days after wrapping up their Japan Arena Tour. Following that, they will also be making an appearance as the first South Korean female artist to attend Japan’s “Summer Sonic 2011” on the 14th of August.

SNSD Tiffany Japanese Tour Phamphlet Photos Gains Attention!
Yup it has been gaining a lot of attention, and who can blame you if you are one them, because my self is even one of them.
First is our Taeng and now Tiffany has recently been a hot topic on the net.
This time she charms us without even her trademark eye-smiles! She has sexy swizzy hair to the left blowing, showing of her beauty snow skin and black hair (Yup she is the Korean snow white!) with a mature look and stylish sexy outfit that is just right...
Oh please Fany stop looking me at that, it just makes me jealous that she is such a beauty!
Seohyun reveals her Paris Journey through her Diary!
In view of Girls’ Generation’s youngest member’s 21st birthday, Korean SONEs gave their sincere congratulations by posting birthday advertisements for Seohyun in the daily newspaper. As one of South Korea’s top idol groups, the 9-membered phenomenon has slowly started to make an impression worldwide, and not in pop culture alone. Of the 9 members, Seohyun is the youngest. However, despite her age, her exceptional writing skills and brilliance are widely recognized by the SM family and by overseas fans.
Back in June, Girls’ Generation went to Paris, France together with their SM Entertainment label mates for the much anticipated SMTOWN LIVE in PARIS. Throughout the duration of their stay, Seohyun kept a diary in which she recorded her journey and feelings while she was in Paris. The journal, titled “Dream-like Life in Paris”, was revealed on the 13th through Issue Daily under the title of “Seohyun’s Paris Diary”. Seohyun stated calmly that she would record her first Paris trip fully, complete with the heart fluttering feelings of a person in her early 20s.
Starting first at the famous landmarks of Paris, Seohyun spent the next day in local areas where the Hallyu wave was crashing through. Seohyun experienced and saw the true attractions of Paris during the rest of her trip, and also at the SMTOWN LIVE in PARIS during which she saw firsthand the extent of the Hallyu Wave in France. Photos which were taken by Seohyun herself have also been provided by her from her camera.

1. The Europe I dreamed of, the first in Paris, France.
2. Become a Parisian today! The world is wide and overflowing with things you don't know.
3. This is Paris, France, and we are Korean singers, Girls’ Generation.
1. The Europe I dreamed of, the first in Paris, France.
Oh my goodness. Scenes which I’ve only ever dreamed of were unraveling before my two eyes. I saw the beauty of the Seine River which I’ve only seen in movies, watched the leisurely and free Parisians milling about, and smelled the sweet scent of chocolates and macaroons. We were given an off day today before the SMTOWN LIVE in PARIS performance, and while I was pondering in my happy dilemma of where I should go first, my interpreter unnie spoke to me.
“Where would you go if you ever came to Paris?” She asked.
I replied without hesitation, “The Eiffel Tower! And then I want to go to the Château de Versailles, and the Notre Dame de Paris, The Sacré-Cœur Basilica, the Arc de Triomphe, the Musée du Louvre, and the Paris Opera!”
Whew~! I was overflowing with places I wanted to go to.
After hearing the places which I wanted to see, unnie responded, “I’ll tell the driver where you want to go. Paris is even smaller than Seoul, so most probably we’ll be able to visit a lot of them.”
I was truly delighted and grateful, and I felt incredibly happy
First, we started out by going to the Arc de Triomphe which was at the western end of the Avenue des Champs-Élysées. They said that it was constructed in remembrance of the soldiers who fought and died in the Napoleonic Wars, as well as the French Revolutionary. Be it from afar or up close, the Arc de Triomphe looked so beautiful when I saw it that I almost couldn’t believe it. Being able to see Arc de Triomphe in real life is unbelievable when I’ve only ever seen it in history books.
With an elated heart, the next place I visited was the Château de Versailles! It was a place which I’ve held of a fantasy of since childhood, and it was a place which I definitely wanted to visit one day. The Versailles, which contains memories of the famous Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette! The wide and endless sight of the Château juxtaposed with the blue skies was so blissful. Even though I was saddened to hear that the Château was too large for me to completely explore, just the fact that I’ve visited the Château de Versailles which I’ve always dreamed off makes me happy.
The next thing to see was the Eiffel Tower! I’ve anticipated it for so long! It was built for the Exposition Universelle, a World’s Fair back in the 1880s. However, many Parisians were said to have thought that the tower was an eyesore and that it looked insightful. It’s truly fascinating how it eventually became the iconic landmark of Paris, and even France.
I viewed the Eiffel Tower from the Palais de Chaillot, and it was simply wondrous and beautiful. No words would be able to explain the beauty. Also, because I vowed to take a picture of the Eiffel Tower which would come at as beautiful as possible, I remember having to spend a long time taking the pictures until it came out pretty. Oh yes! You can’t forget the Notre Dame de Paris! Be it the interior of the cathedral or the exterior walls, the artfully crafted and designed details were simply jaw opening.
Ah, the Parisian sun only sets after 10! I think it’s a country with quite a long day~. However, it’s because of the long days that I could go to all these places and experience them. And so, this happy day which I spent experiencing the culture of Paris drew to a close…

Girls' Generation's successful breakthrough into Japan has culminated in another milestone: their debut Japanese album "Girls' Generation" has been certified double platinum by the RIAJ. The RIAJ, or Recording Industry Association of Japan, recognizes 250,000 copies sold as platinum certification. With the double platinum certification, the "Girls' Generation" album has officially sold over 500,000 copies in just over a month after its June 1 release.
This is the latest indication of the overwhelming success that Girls' Generation has achieved in Japan. On July 6, Tower Records announced that Girls' Generation topped their June chart with their debut album. Last month, Oricon revealed that Girls' Generation had the highest earnings by a foreign artist in Japan for the first half of 2011, as they recorded 2.6 billion yen in total sales.
The strong push into the Japanese market for the first seven months of 2011 will continue with the final performance of the Japan Arena Concert Tour, which will take place in Fukuoka on July 17.
