Shoujo Jidai recently made an appearance on TBS King’s Brunch for an interview, which you can check out below:
At 1:50, the host begins speaking in English to the surprise and excitement of JeTi, and I guarantee that you will replay this part over and over because it is totally spazz-worthy (hint: eye-smile)!

GOSH! they look so refined and mature! especially taeyeon and fany! and love the part whr they start talkin in english. HAHA! kept replayin that part! haha.

SNSD bolehhh!!!
I’m absolutely shocked at how much weight Yuri’s lost. Hyoyeon’s lost a bit of it on her cheeks as well.
Aside that, i’m anticipating a mind-blowing phenomenon come June 1.
Gambatte kudasai ~
Ima wa shoujo jidai!
zutto ni shoujo jidai!
hahahahaha
i cant stop smiling ((:
SNSD and english together makes me happy♥
SNSD♥FTW
OH! so the bag that comes with it is packed inside the box…
English conversation between JPN MC and Tiffany and Jessica = OMG moment.
The English segment of the interview is my favourite portion too 😀 !
Is it just me or am I the only one being slightly underwhelmed by the English part? Don’t get me wrong it’s cute and all, but it was so short, no actual Q&A was conducted in English besides random spazzing, and the MC killed the all fun and went back to Japanese because the audience don’t understand English. We want MOAR ENGLISH.
hehe, iknow it’s kind of random, but are you going to Korea with Soshified ? 😀 I saw your name on the list! Hahahah
Yea I am!
Lucky guy…
Hahahahaha, I just can’t stop laughing when I’m watching this video! Especially 1:51, when Fany and Sica responded and said Hi back together! So damn Kawaiii! =D
Arrggghh, Fany’s eye smile really melts my heart. No doubt I’m in love with her always..and I used to call her Princess. ❤
It's really disappointing to see our Black Pearl has loss that much weight..=(
*sobs sobs* Anyway, I'm looking forward to 1st Of June! SNSD Hwaiting! Soshi Hwaiting!
I can’t wait for the japenese album Just from the teasers I liked all the songs especially “rain it out ” Snsd fighting love uuuuuu~
the girls are again invited by Music Station this coming Friday (June 3) to perform a special medley. kind of unusual that the girls are invited again but this time for a special medley, which is kind of rare for a kpop group. i think japan’s really taking into account that SNSD isn’t just your typical girl group idol, they are the group that you would want to watch out for :).
I’M SO EXCITED TO HEAR THAT! By the way, I was wondering when there’s a special medley, does that mean the girls will sing more than one song, will they sing songs other than their own, etc?
yes! usually, in japan that’s how it is. for example, arashi did a medley on MS and they performed 2 songs one was the song that was used on the JAL commercial. this shouldn’t be the case, but since the commercial is considered HIGH PROFILE they allowed arashi to sing the song exclusively for that special medley. SNSD is endorsing Lipton, and one of the songs from the album is used in the “extra shot” campaign; “let it rain.” this could possibly one of the songs the girls will sing and if that’s the case their endorsement for Lipton is considered HIGH PROFILE as well. the other possible song is “Hoot” in japanese…but there’s also another option. they can sing snippets of the songs from the album to give it a little preview, but i doubt fans will be satisfied, lol!
What does endorsements have anything to do with special medley on MS? Mr.Taxi was used to endorse Lipton too but that’s been performed on MS already. Without overanalyzing the situation, I think the special medley will be snippets from a collection of songs, most likely from their full album. This tells me that they don’t plan on promoting any one particular song either as a lead single or as a title song, in a way the “lead single” was already promoted by way of Mr.Taxi.
@ RagingXL:
Remember, lots of major changes have been made to their original schedule because of the Tohoku disaster. When “Mr. Taxi” was announced as their next lead single and that it would be tied to the Lipton endorsement, the Tohoku disaster hadn’t happened YET! the original plan was to release “Mr. Taxi” on April 13 along with the Lipton CM (hence the filming occured around March – Taeng’s b-day), but all of their plans were put on hold and they had to come up with a different plan. “Mr. Taxi” then got released on April 27 and it was promoted first rather than having both the song and the Lipton CM be promoted on the same time. The Lipton CM has yet to officially be broadcasted not until June 6, which also coincides with SNSD’s appearance on Hey3x that they recorded a few weeks back!
now for the special medley: i used the ARASHI endorsement example because they are the most obvious and considered one of the most popular boy group in japan. when ARASHI endorse JAL, one of the songs from their B-side (forgot if it was an album or single) was the song that was used during the airing of the CM. Music Station don’t usually allow B-side songs to be promoted on the show, BUT since the song used on the CM was considered HIGH PROFILE (meaning the CM is a big deal) MS allowed ARASHI to sing the song along with their A-side release; and both that song was performed under MS’ special medley for ARASHI. get what i’m saying? now in SNSD’s case, their album has a total of 12 songs; 6 of them are new songs, and 1 a japanese remake of their original hit “Hoot.” usually japanese albums don’t have a lead single, but since “Mr. Taxi” in included and that it was their most recent single release, that’s considered the lead single (though technically it isn’t). and like i said, MS could have given SNSD 2 options: one, SNSD is to perform 2 full songs – possibly “Hoot” and “Let it Rain” cause this song was made public in one of their Lipton CM so that’s the most obvious choice. two, SNSD can perform all 12 songs, but only samples of it will be allowed; but this can lead to fans feeling left out (not a good idea)!
all i’m saying is, this is considered a RARITY for a kpop girl group that just barely started their promotions not too long ago. SNSD might be some sort of exception, but i believe that japan is taking a “special” interest in SNSD’s case. this album is a testament of how “different” this type/style of songs from their usual releases in korea. there’s NOT 1 crappy fillers included in the album because all of it are all WORTH hearing. SM/UMJ’s plans for SNSD in japan is definitely to pull them away from the “hallyu” label the girls have been bombardedly dubbed since the day they started their japanese activities. and i think MS is taking a keen interest in SNSD’s situation because they might be seeing SNSD as not just your typical “kpop idol” but a REAL artists that will have a lasting career in japan, despite the fact that SM’s plans for SNSD is to NOT entirely focus in japan.
I totally agree with your assessment, LadyIgraine ;).
Our 9 angels will definitely have a lasting spot in the Japanese pop market 😀 !!!
They’re too talented not too !
LadyIgraine:
Thanks for the very thorough response but that was way too much information. I can’t seem to connect all the dots, I understand the CMs might play a small role in deciding what songs are allowed to be performed on MS, but their situation is quite different from Arashi’s because that was a single and this is a full album. And since there’s no title track and no a-side/b-side to speak of, shouldn’t the artist be free to perform whatever song they choose or include whatever they want in the medley? I hope MS is not going to “force” them to sing Let It Rain just because of Lipton, restrictions like that would just seem bizarre. Your point about Music Station taking a special interest in SNSD is well taken, and the fact that they’re letting them perform on MS at all is surely going to help promote the album, I honestly don’t know what a “special medley” entails, whether that’s two full songs or snippets of multiple songs… regardless of how they do it, it won’t satisfy all the fans, but it’s better than nothing, and MS has done all that they can for SNSD because the appearance alone is going to help them a lot. Looking forward to it.
finally I can get back to my laptop: THANK YOU 😀 You just made me very happy!!!!
My comment messed up, so if I hadn’t replied yet, I just wanted to say thank you very much! 😀
For some reason they’re in each Japanese interview wearing the same outfit… :S
Love the English part!! It sounds so cute! 😀
They did the rounds of interviews with different TV programs all on the same day, which was the day they first revealed information on their 1st album.
taeyeon and her cute little byebye~
The girls look totally gorgeous, scrap that, they ARE! I loved the conversation between the MC and JeTi!
I know this is totaaly random and irrelevent but 9 people died from eating cucumber… I see Jessica’s reasons for hating cucumbers.
jessica’s japanese is SO CUTE !!!
fanys english>sicas english
they are a pretty sight. very refreshing
Awwww! Tiffany finished jessica’s sentence.
Fany was SOOO excited when she found out the mc could speak english ^^
Sica is always seen as more of the calm one LOL
Taengoo didn’t say much in this but was super cute all along 🙂
Taeyeon is SOOO cute when she mumbled ‘bye bye’ at the end! ><
YES! I noticed that too… =)
It’s just me or someone else noticed when Sooyoung gets interrupted by Jessica, she clearly felt unconfortable?
Despite that “mistake”. They’re gorgeous and cute. Love Tiffany eye-smile!!!!
Soo Young should try the tebasaki in Nagoya! Its great! And the miso nikomi udon is awesome! But skip Nagoya castle. Its not so interesting. Try the castle in Ichinomiya. Its small but authentic and you can check out the ukai / cormorant fishing there too.
Their make up is stunnig, their eyes are HUGE
SNSD hypnotiiiiised!
Jessica fell in love with Marina, lol! She couldn’t stop looking at her, cause I think it comforting that the interviewer spoke English :). BTW: i saw the entirety of the this interview from the very beginning and it would explain why Marina can speak English…most of the female hosts are foreigners and they are bilingual. During the introduction one of the girls spoke English and greeted the viewers by saying “Good morning everyone. I hope everyone’s ready for the rainy season!”
is there another mirror vid for this…i missed this one…darn
