All the rumors and all can finally come to an end: SNSD is ready to enter the Japanese market!
We must love twitter for the fast snsd updates that Yurui and Bossa747 provides for us and here are the latest goodies about SNSD’s venture into a new country.
August 11th: A special dvd will be released to the public that is filled with the girls’ music videos
August 25th: Fan event. 10000 fans will be allowed into Ariake Stadium and only those that purchased the dvd shall be let in
September: Single drops! Looks like they will release a single through NAYUTAWAVE Records which is apart of Universal.
The girls had already signed with Universal Music in May. That certainly went under the radar and certainly a surprising piece of news.
I’m not really sure how I really feel about the girls going overseas. So far, we don’t know if this is just a regular Japanese promotion (for lack of a better word) or if they’re going to be like DBSK and Boa who will be gone for a long time. A few weeks ago when the rumors were still circulating about a Japanese promotion, people had stated it wouldn’t be a long overseas promotion kind of thing. All we can do now is wait.
I was already expecting that the girls be leaving Korea for Japan someday but after hearing about it..I’m not exactly the pumped up type. Sure if they do well, I’ll be happy. Hmm..drop some comments readers and let us know what you think. Excited? Against it? Anything, share!
SNSD Korean 
I would love for the girls to go into the Japan market but not for a long period of time…like maybe only as a promo kind of thing
Does SNSDKorean have any Japanese translators? We might need some right? “Shoujo Jidai” is going to be a huge success! Fighting! I hope to be in the loop as much, if not more than, their Korean activities.
We don’t even have Korean translators. XD
this got me LOLing haha…
Wait, what? We have translators? O.o!
WoW!!! OMG! I’m so excited about SNSD japanese promotion. I’m pretty sure that they will success like DBSK dongsaengs or BoA noona. Will they sing a new song or will they make a japanese version of one of the SNSD hits? No offense but, SNSD > MM or any other girlband in Japan. SNSD has everything to be on the top of japanese charts. Support SNSD, japanese sones!
I’m ready to Japanese promotion, and you?
SNSD fighting! ^O^
I’m pretty sure it isnt DBSK dongsaengs, but oppas/sunbaes…anyways, i agree that they will succeed, although there are many girl groups in japan as well, i think SNSD is still better talent wise and in looks and personality as well.
a good thing about this though is that i understand japanese…at least alot more than i understand korean
it’s good that they’re promoting overseas^^ but not for a long period~
but still support them 😀
mmmh…i guess that was unavoidable…don’t know what to think^^;
It was only an eventuality I guess, but I’m happy. The result is much better than the previous rumors of Soshi splitting 2 ways with some going to China and some going to Japan. Nothing without 9 right? =)
But if they’re going to enter the market in August… then what are the plans for the next 2 months? I had expected something sooner with Taeng’s musical/chin chin and SunRi IY ending soon. Maybe we’ll be in for a big surprise before they go? ;D
Maybe the Thailand concert will push through this July…
i hope they are simply going to japan to promote, and that’s all. i don’t wish to see them release tons of music in japan. maybe like 4minute!
If it means a new single, and a new video, it can’t hurt us.
Looks like SooYoung is reliving her childhood memories by recording in Japanese but guess what? This time, she’s back with her 8 sisters! =)
The fact that SNSD is growing bigger and stronger makes me happy but we’ll have to bear the pain from their absence in local variety shows and music progs. Let’s be more optimistic, try not to think DBSK instead think Big Bang which is considerably successful in Japan and still finds time to come once in a while..
If its for promotion and for a short time , its okay .
but if for a long time , seohyun will be less time to meet yong hwa xD
Wrong. CN BLUE will be promoting in Japan too. So they’ll meet for sure, just not for WGM recording! 😀 After all, Japan is where they debuted 😀
Guess I’ll have to drop SeoCole now.
Nope, you won’t have to do that. KARA is going to release a Japanese album in August. Plus, aren’t they under Universal Japan too? SoKa are label mates in Japan~ XD
Excited coz I want more success for the girls.
More to my excitement, as far as I could observe… universal doesn’t make its foreign artists stay long-ass time in Japan just to promote n make a name. Look at BB! They managed to promote both in Jpn n Korea with decent results. Unlike AVEX who forced the artists to reside in Jpn for years! urgh!!!
I’m not under the brightest light for AVEX now after their back-stabbing to SM. No matter how bad SM might be, business ethic should stay between business partners.
Back to SNSD… I’m not against this Japanese advancement.
I just worry a bit. I hope SM takes care of the girls well coz the social celeb life in Japan is quite awful. I hope the managers can keep perverted Japanese men away from the girls.
However, I still yearn for more korean activities so SM better keep their promise for balanced promotion or we’ll have to blow their heads…lol
I know how you feel, Qrizta D:
But as far as I know, Japanese society value respect and privacy a lot. JE boys KAT-TUN and NEWS were seen clubbing and all, but fans kept their distances. These perverted men are prolly found in red light districts (Shibuya?) or… public baths LOL.
My only concern of them promoting in Japan is.. the price of their merchandise will be much more expensive than in Korea. Look at DBSK’s concert DVD price difference in Korea and in Japan =[
I worry like a hell even though I now live in Tokyo. A thoght of Japanese guys approaching on our girls just makes me go nuts!!!!!!!!!
Or something bad… I’ve been thinking about it much.
I’m gonna protect girls!!!!!!!!!!!!! T^T
I’m excited because I’m probably going there next summer and it would be great if they were promoting while I’m there ^.^ and im japanese so it just makes me happier LOL
I would love it for the girls to dominate Asia and so on. Just don’t leave Korea for too long and don’t leave us sones for too long XP We’ll definitely miss them. I’m kind of excited for the DVD but really jealous of those 10,000 fans that get to go
RIGHT NOW IS SHOUJO JIDAI~
man, I’m so excited for this! This is like a new challenge for the girls… a hard one, mind you. I hope they will do well 🙂
I don’t want them to leave korean music… They should just stick to what they do best, singing in korean..
It is good that they have promotion in japan 🙂 that means they wont be disbanded.. But they should not stay to long in Japan 🙂
At least they’re going together as 9, that’s enough for me
I totally agree with you.
I want them to do well offcourse i just don’t want not to have updates about them,but i’m sure the japonese sones will upload any new stuff.
I’ll be excited about everything as long as our girls are happy 🙂
Haha, if it means hearing Jessica speak some Nihongo, I’m definitely thrilled. It’s like omg, my first love, Japan.
But I don’t know, I still have some reservations, hopefully soshified has jap translators, they’re gonna need them!
Is Shoujo Jidai the official name?
Gee ‘pabo’ sounds funny with ‘baka’. LOL
Honestly it might be a bit hard umm…’letting go’ of them I guess, but I want them to be able to expand as well. ^^
As it is, their popularity has…reached a stale-mate? The only way for them to keep improving as artists would be to try new things so…
Best of luck to them. ^^
They’d have more ‘freedom’ in Japan too, so I hope it’s a good experience for ’em.
exactly~ I hope this will be a good experience for them! 🙂
Ok those dates are going to coincide with my stay in Japan. I’m gonna be in Tokyo throughout all of August.
Do you guys know were I can get a bit more info on all this. Maybe I’ll manage to buy the DVD and get in.
lets go soshi! lets go!
just dont stay too long in japan~ i’m ready & okay with it!
snsd is 1 part of my heart…make sure japan sones protect them~ lol~ hwaiting!
Yep.. Don’t stay too long in Japan or your popularity will wane in Korea.. I hope not.. ToT
Agrees with greenteee that it’s better that they were not split into 2 groups like the rumours so it’s pretty good already.. But I hope this will be a small scale promotion, not really safe for them to venture long term into a unknown country and they might lose their national girl group title in Korea if they are gone for a long time. (Like Wonder Girls)
i’m against T.T I want to listen K-POP with soshi, not Jpop TT.TT
but anyway, I still happy: Forever 9 ♥
yay! Japan + SNSD = me happy!!! ^_^
as excited as i am…. oh my, the japanese yen is so much stronger than the korean won.
i’m going to have to take out a loan just for soshi goods at this rate~
hahah unnie, it won’t be that bad. need to be thrifty just for a little while to be able to afford their goods. and knowing SM, they’re gonna drain all the blood from our body T_T
I think this is a fantastic opportunity for snsd!!!!! xxx:)

So I guess they’re promoting as 9, then – that’s good at least
Does anyone know if JPop has a culture of antis, or is that just Korea?
Jpop doesn’t really have a culture of antis per say but they do have a bit of thing against artists from other countries trying to promote, especially since most of the time the artists that come tend to just re-release there songs in japanese instead of making an effort to learn the language. I’m pretty sure that was the reason for DBSK and BoA’s success is the fact that they stayed in Japan long enough to learn the language well create content specifically intended for the Japanese public.
In regards to their having real antis the only one’s i can really comment on Yarakashi fans (kind of like stalker fans) but I’ve only heard of them having incidents with Johnny’s Entertainment Groups like KAT-TUN and Hey!Say!JUMP!. But they’re pretty bad so I hope the girls don’t get any (especially since their most likely targeting the same audience as AKB48 and the H!P Groups…)
Anyways Goodluck to the girls but I hope they learn from how DBSK and BoA got popular and release some original material!!! Excited to hear them sing in Japanese and I’m glad their not subgrouping!!! =)
omg… the albums are gonna be super expensive… a ‘normal’ priced single in japan is already $50+…
There goes my budget…
But at least i understand some jap! yipee!
Go soshi! I’m all support for them. But, will we still be updated with their activities in Japan. I’m sure almost all of us hate being SNSD-deprived!
ehhh as i saw all the info about there japan trip come up yesterday through twitter i wasnt looking forward to it. If they go and comeback then I’m good 1-2months there max then they get there awesome ass’s back to Korea and I’m good.

I follow SNSD updates everyday on YOUTUBE or SNSD blog but now SNSD is starting their debut in Japan. Can anyone advise where or how can I still see their activities in Japan. It’s like an addiction….Frustrated
wish them luck in japan!
but i hav an iffy feeling
i dont think its exactly wise 2 stay in japan for long
bcaz kpop fans tend get into the hype of new things
if their group is inactive (or over seas wonder girls, big bang, dbsk anyone?)
4 example lotz of new girl groups r debuting after snsd leaves
please do ur best! ^^
SONEs won’t cheat. ❤
