The clock is ticking and we’re getting nearer to the official release of SNSD’s Japan debut single “Genie”. Here’s the CF which has just been released.

SNSD’s Japanese debut single “Genie” is set to make its debut in Japan on Tuesday, September 8th and the widespread publicities in Japan have garnered interest from the Korean and Japanese media.

A large billboard promoting the girls’ debut can be seen next to billboards of “Resident Evil 4″ and Japan’s famous group, SMAP at Shibuya, Tokyo which is one of Japan’s largest shopping area. Along the streets in Shibuya, the girls’ “Genie” promotional and music video was displayed on large screens. Ever since Tohoshinki’s 2007-2008 promotional activities, publicity of this scale has never been witnessed.

In view of SNSD’s popularity in Japan, an undisclosed Japanese source said, “SNSD’s appearance on various TV programs in the past two weeks have increased their popularity in Japan.”

In Japan’s largest record store, Shibuya Tower Records, SNSD’s CDs and DVDs are being displayed among other Japanese and foreign artists, indicating that the hot demand and expectations from fans and music lovers.

The girls have also graced the covers of a few magazines such as AERA’s “K-POP GIRLS” and Nikkei Entertainment which have attracted a lot of attentions from netizens.

An 18 year-old high school student living in Tokyo named Shiozaki gave SNSD a thumbs up in terms of their appearances and said that the girls are prettier than other entertainers in Japan. Shiozaki added that she heard stories of Kara and SNSD in school. When asked, “what is your opinion of their songs?”, Shiozaki left without answering the question.

Despite these promotions and publicities, there were also responses such as “I don’t know” from the general public. Hopefully after their debut single is released, the word “don’t” would be struck off…lol.

The girls won the Singer Award at the 37th Korea Broadcasting Award Ceremony held at KBS Hall in Seoul today. However, the girls could not be there to receive the award as they are now at Los Angeles, United States for the SM Town Live 10 World Tour Concert which will be taking place on September 4th.

Mean while in Japan, SNSD’s commemorative DVD “New Beginning of Girls’ Generation” which was released about 4 weeks ago, captured the no.1 spot on the Oricon DVD Chart.

The girls must be jumping around, hugging one another after hearing about their two successes today. Congratulations, my girls!

While on their flight to Japan for the first showcase in Japan, the girls experienced something scary but see it as a sign of a great success.

Before boarding the plane to LA yesterday for the SM Town Live 10 World Tour Concert in Staples Center on September 4th, the girls were interviewed by media reporters. The girls saird, “recently, we took a plane to Japan for our first showcase there. Inside the plane, we saw flashes. An announcement was made later that says ‘our plane was hit by lightning but everything’s fine’. The girls then added, “it was like a scene in the movie.”

The situation could put the girls in serious danger, but the girls look at it positively. According to them, “We feel that the lightning is a sign that we will be 대박 (daebak – great success) in Japan.”

The girls are now in LA and they are scheduled to perform with other SM Town artists at the SM Town Live 10 World Tour Concert on September 4th, 7.00pm (LA local time). Here’s a picture of Sooyoung and TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho in the Boeing 747-400 bound for LA.

…and a few other photos of our girls at the airport and on the plane. Have a daebak performance in LA, girls!
