Girls Generation - SNSD

I thought I'd started a thread for them but I can't find it!

Anyone else a fan!? I love their new Japanese MV for Mr. Taxi. It's such a catchy song, I've had it in my head for like 5 days. :keke:

Even though I like the song a lot, it's pretty heavily autotuned in parts which I don't totally dig. Still soooooo catchy though and I'm getting used to it! :tongue:

For those who have never heard of them, they are a Korean pop group of 9 girls. Most of their songs are in Korean but they've done some in Japanese and a few English covers on their live album. Some of their popular Korean songs are Gee, Oh!, Genie, Hoot, and Run Devil Run.

I love their new single. :ohmy:

Love the fact it doesn't sound so different.

Just to say that "Girls Generation" isn't an accurate translation of "SNSD" - "Girls Era" would be a better one, tho they might've deliberately opted for "Generation" for a reason.

I'm assuming they selected the translation themselves for a reason, even if it's not 100% accurate. Personally I think Girls Generation sounds a lot better than Girls Era would. :dead:

Oh, sure (& an even worse one would be "Girls Period"

), tho it sounds fine in the original language.

I just started listening to Girls Generation after I saw a link to the Mr. Taxi MV on twitter and I've been in love with them! I've been playing a playlist of their videos on youtube all week. :love:

Oooh which playlist? This one is mine: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p ... 428ADB35BA

I'm always taking suggestions of what to add :3

That's why it's also got three subgroups (the largest one of which has nine members, too l o l ) - scroll to the bottom of the page I linked in my last post above, to see them.

Where the hell I have been? I'm so outdated in the Kpop scene.
