1. I think the album this time is one packed with a lot of energy. The song genres are varied, so I think many people will be cheered up by this album.
2. I love “Everyday Love”, “LIPS”, and all the ballads that are on the Japanese albums. Usually I like the medium tempo and ballad songs over the dance songs, so I was very pleased when I first listened to those two songs. From when we received the demo of “LIPS”, the beat and the feeling are my type♪ I recommend these two songs!
3. Love and peace. I feel that through this album we can connect and harmonize with many people through LOVE & PEACE.
4. We have become even more used to Japan performances, so I think we can do them comfortably. However, I think we can show that the performances are more developed than before.
5. They have plenty of fan boards and the fans who cosplay are also numerous, so when I see how they passionately cheer us on it makes me try harder.
6. Girls’ Generation’s energy. I want to convey LOVE & PEACE!
7. I’m the happiest when they call out my name and that becomes [a source of] power.
8. The “Right now it’s Girls’ Generation!” chant.
9. Hitsumabushi*! I eat it everyday when we perform in Nagoya ^^
10. I will try my best to show performances that are so fun to many fans that you forget time has passed and the performances are full of charms this time as well.
11. Everyone! Please have a looot of fun this time, too! Let’s meet during the tour ♡
12. I feel that the pamphlet steadily gets more wonderful. Thank you very much for always anticipating it!
13. I like the feeling of the concept and the atmosphere and it was really fun to shoot. I feel like each member’s individuality was expressed well. It feels fresh since it was shot with the concept of a fashion magazine, which is different than the tour pamphlets up until now.
Jessica
1. There are all kinds of genre of songs recorded, so I think it has been completed with a abundant variety of songs. Each song as its own personality and the characteristics are worth listening to!
2. I always liked SNSD's ballads from the start, so this time, I really like "Everyday Love." The members' voices are also sweet... (laughs) "LIPS" is very pop-ish and I like the style. "FLYERS" is energetic and the song is full of energy that expresses "SNSD".
3. SNSD? (laughs) I think it is like that.
4. The tour this time is packed with a lot of the new album songs, so I think it will become an attractive tour.
5. The cosplay and support fashion are all cute, so I think we have to give a performance that won't lose as well when we are on stage.
6. I want to show a newly developed SNSD. And I want to have music that sends our love to the everyone.
7. When the fans sing with us at the same time! It frequently touches my heart.
8. Generally speaking, in order to load up on power, I eat a lot of rice. ^^
9. Hitsumabushi! Also, cream puffs and roll cakes♪ Dessert is a must have over the meal.
10. In order for the fans to have a good time and in order to create new good memories, I want to do my best.
11. As the same with everyone, I also look forward to this year's tour!
12. We have matured more than before and I think it is packed with lots of feminine parts.
13. It's a black and white photoshoot, but it's very fresh and a new challenge. I think you can feel the difference of the images from before.
Seohyun
1. Just as the theme LOVE & PEACE is, we endeavored to convey love and peace through music. The album this time spans different genres and I think that we can show music of an even more developed SNSD. We made precious songs full of our power and love, so it would be great if that love can be felt.
2. That’s difficult...I often listen to “motorcycle” and “FLYERS”. “motorcycle” continued the pop sound of “MR.TAXI” so I was very pleased. “FLYERS”, I think about performing it on tour and can imagine having fun with all the fans. However, it’s not just these two songs, each and every song has their different charms so I’d like them to be listened to a lot.
3. I’m reminded of ‘music’. That’s because I believe even if our countries or languages are different, men and women of all ages can come together [through music].
4. First, I believe that we can achieve an even deeper response with all the fans. As we repeat the number of concerts, I feel like we and the fans are able to enjoy the music even more. Also, we have to wait a long while before we can carry out the tour for the new album.
5. I’m think of how they enjoy the music during the tour and how they support us. The memory of them dressing up in our costumes and having fun with all their energy always stays in my mind. When I see all of them like that, I feel like trying harder even more.
6. I want to become one [with the fans] during this time on tour and give each other power. I absolutely want to respond to the love we always receive this time, too. LOVE & PEACE! There is a lot of love in our music and I want to convey that to everyone.
7. They are always cute when they cheer us on in Korean…(laughs) I am happy and very thankful when they try their very best for us.
8. Before it starts, I pray without fail. I always pray, “Today, let us all have fun without injury or regret”.
9. Of course...hitsumabushi! Aah, I want to eat it soon (laughs) Hitsumabushi is Girls’ Generation’s power♪
10. With the excitement of the first and second tours in my heart, I prepared to have fun without regrets ^^!!
11. You all have waited a long time, right~??! We also have waited forever for this time! Please come well prepared to have fun together~! Before that, please take care of your health! Let’s meet in just a bit ♡
12. It’s the third tour pamphlet, so we made it in a big size with the design of a magazine! I believe you can enjoy the refined black and white images that are like a fashion magazine.
13. While anticipating the third tour, all the members shot this with excitement.
Sooyoung
1. I think there are a lot of dance songs. In the vehicle series, “motorcycle” has the feeling of SNSD having fun riding bikes on the highways (laughs) It’s a buoyant cheerful song. There are songs that warm the heart like “LIPS”, “Karma Butterfly”, and “Everyday Love”, and I think when you try to listen to all the songs you’ll feel refreshed and be in a better mood!
2. “FLYERS” is a song that seems like it’d be a title song for an anime or drama. An adolescent drama? (laughs) The feeling is young, lively, and overflowing with hope, so when I hear this song I can imagine the scene on tour. Having fun running around, matching our breathing with everyone and playing around...please wear sneakers when you come watch! (laughs)
3. Everyone’s love? (laughs) It’s embarrassing to talk about, but while working there are times when I get irritated or upset; however, when I think about everyone I feel PEACE and want to be together with everyone forever ^^
4. We’ve gotten older (laughs) To the extent that I believe that we can show more developed performances than ever. In order to be able to have lively performances and not lose to everyone’s energy, we are are exercising and building up our strength!
5. While performing, everyone isn’t just having fun, I see that they are responding with great sensitivity to each song, so we sing the lyrics with even more feeling. I believe if we do it that way, we can really respond to each other.
6. Generally speaking, I want to express LOVE & PEACE. It would great when they come home after watching our performance with happiness and have a gentle, enjoyable feeling, and also if they can enjoy everyday filled with LOVE & PEACE in their life.
7. The message board that said, “That you for coming to Japan”. (laughs) However, when they respond to our songs with more than words, when they are moved to tears by the lyrics, when they clap their hands to the beat during dance songs (laughs) The sense that they’re responding to the music!!
8. The “Right now it’s Girls’ Generation!” chant, and also in order to build up stamina I eat a lot of food and brush my teeth!
9. Hitsumabushi! And also...tsukemen (TL Note: noodles with dipping sauce).
10. I want it to be successful… This time, we are starting in the spring, so I believe everyone can enjoy the performances in an even better environment, and we’ll also be in good condition. I’m really anticipating it.
11. While listening to the album, please try to image the concert’s impression. It’s an album that boasts dance songs, so I want to get excited and enjoy it with everyone!! (laughs)
12. Please expect wonderful pictures!!
13. While watching the members’ photo shoots, I thought we’ve really matured~. Also, the chair props for the group shots were a little hard so while shooting it was a little tough (laughs)
Taeyeon
1. I wanted to continue challenging music that was reminiscent of Girls’ Generation and refine it even further, and I think this album really delivers that. Just like it says, Girls’ Generation would like to spread “LOVE & PEACE” to the world, and I think there are also a lot of songs that express how amazing girls can be. I especially think that the lyrics are really good(meaningful).
2. The rhythm for “LIPS” and “Karma Butterfly” are just so good that I’ll always want to put it on repeat.
3. “Flowers” come to mind. It might be because when we were doing filming for the album jacket we used a flower set, but anyways definitely flowers~ I feel like the splendor and the beautiful individuality of a flower resembles us (Girls’ Generation) a little bit…(laughs)
4. The amount of good songs in our repertoire has increased even more, and I’m really happy that we get to perform the songs from our current album, but I think it was also a challenge. I think we’ll be able to show everyone how much we’ve grown (as artists).
5. First and foremost, I think we can express ourselves even more when they focus on listening to our songs, and when they pay close attention to us as a group and individually while we’re performing up on stage.
6. I absolutely want to spread “LOVE & PEACE”! I think it’ll become the kind of stage that has a lot of different components to it, so I would want everyone to enjoy it when they put it together with the song’s message.
7. My mood becomes better when people say that my pronunciation is good. Also, when I hear people say the phrase, “I’m touched”, I actually begin to become moved myself.
8. Having all the members gather together and say, “Right now it’s Girls’ Generation!”
9. I really like ramen. It’s light and easy to eat, and I look forward to trying the different tastes in each region ^^
10. I want have such a good tour that everyone will have amazing memories by the end of it.
11. We’ve been looking forward to this just as much as our fans have been anticipating the new tour. When I’m up on the stage and I can see how much the audience is cheering and enjoying themselves, is when I receive the most energy. We are preparing a lot to make this a great tour, so everyone can enjoy it.
12. We designed it so that the pamphlet is even bigger! People will be able to see even bigger pictures, and I think you’ll also be able to feel 9 people’s natural charm and joking atmosphere in the contents.
13. With the wind blowing we acted out a natural and dramatic kind of atmosphere. I was worried about the wind blowing too much and messing up the hair, but when matching up with the concept’s atmosphere, I felt that this actually was the most natural (laughs) I realised this really is kinda hard.
Tiffany
1. Each song has its own personality and its an album where you can see how much SNSD has grown. It is an album where you can enjoy a variety of rhythms.
2. Listening to the album, my favorite song is “LIPS.” It is the style of song that I personally like. ^^
3. If you look through the jacket photos, there are a lot of flowers scattered around, but “flowers” are fresh and it reminds me of a beautiful scent wafting [through the air].
4. Although this is our third tour.. I think because of this there can be more flexibility and we’re able to have more fun (laughs) Also, there are many events that happen during the tour, and because our sense of unity among the members has become even stronger, it’ll be a be a very fun and pleasurable time.
5. When I see the fans having a good time with us at the live, I think I must be even more pumped up. I think I learned having a fun live in that fashion.
6. I want to show how much I have grown from the last live. I also want to convey a lot of love through SNSD’s songs.
7. I think I’ve finally come to understand the words “I look forward to it” is born from trust, so when I hear those words I want to work even harder.
8. Before going on stage, we would make sure we come together for our cheer!!
9. Of course, hitsumabushi! (laughs) And then, ramen, Kobe beef, roll cake… Recently, I really love sweets, so I’ve been craving that!
10. For the fans and for us, in order to have a wonderful time together, I want to treasure each performance and to have the best performance!!
11. The album this time is fresh and interesting and I will show everyone a great performance. Please look forward to it!
12. Since it is the 3rd Arena Tour, there is a bigger upgrade and we have matured. There isn’t too much power put in, so I think the pamphlet ended up where you can feel a natural, stylish energy. Same with the tour!
13. This time, through the photo shoot, including the mood, I feel we have improved a lot more from before along with becoming more feminine.
Sunny
1. I think this album will become an item that will show how much Girls’ Generation has grown musically in comparison to the previous albums after listening to it.
2. I always feel really good when listening to “Karma Butterfly”, so that’s why I really like it.
3. “Guns & Roses” => Flower => “Flower Power”!?
4. It was pretty exhausting physically, and the time we had to prepare was always cutting it close (laughs), but even with all that we still really looked forward to it! Everyone was able to make a lot of fun memories during the first and second tour right? I want to make even more fun memories during this tour too!
5. They are very kind, welcoming, and polite. However, in reverse, I get the feeling that all of us are learning ways to get closer to everyone.
6. I think that if you don’t have opposing confrontation of love or peace then you won’t know what truly has value. Even so, I don’t think our album has a lot of ballads about love, but instead we have a lot of songs that touch on a lot of variety of feelings. The live will have those kinds of songs, and we’ll also show those feelings through the performances. I think it would be good if at the end, everyone who came would be able to hold all kinds of feelings, like love and peace, in their heart after the concert.
7. I’m really moved by how the fans try to understand us and speak to us with their cute and slightly inexperienced Korean. On the same note, we are also inexperienced as well, but we are trying really hard to be able to converse with everyone in Japanese.
8. For the last tour, while in the middle of a concert, there wasn’t a lot of time to rest (even costume changes were busy, haha), and before the concert, definitely hair and makeup. Other things that I would always do were stretches, eat food, and make sure to stay hydrated. However, after a while, what started as something I needed to do, it became very routine, so I think I’ll spend my time the same way for this concert tour.
9. Osaka’s okonomiyaki with yakisoba ^^ and I also really like roll cakes filled with lots of fruits.
10. I want to safely, without getting hurt, reach the end of the concert tour and create even more great memories than the last tour.
11. I want to meet everyone soon!! Heya~!!
12. You’ll get the feeling that the front cover of a magazine was decorated randomly by each member of Girls’ Generation. Doesn’t that sound interesting? (laughs) Please look through it and treat it well.
13. Certainly, I also haven’t gone to a photoshoot where the outfit emphasized my body line…(laughs) Hopefully it becomes a wonderful item that can be used to decorate rooms.
Yuri
1. I recommend all the songs from this album!! It was produced to compose a variety of musical genres ♡
2. “Gossip Girls” and “motorcycle” are my style of music which has an amazing atmosphere to them. “Everyday Love” is sentimental and it’s the song that I’d want to listen to before going to sleep ^^ For “Love&Girls”, there are the memories from filming the MV with all the fans so I become really happy whenever I think about it. I love “LIPS” as a whole and how the voice and atmosphere during my part at the bridge is a focal point. “Lingua franca” is extremely refreshing and I think it really shows SNSD’s style.
3. If I were to put it it one word… Freedom!! Those that enjoy music and concerts, each and every one of them are living freely, and with “LOVE&PEACE” within that, I hope they’re all able to live happily.
4. I think the content has become even more fun than those last time. Having carried out the first and second tour, we’ve come to understand how to have fun with everyone, so this time we are now well prepared to show an even more wonderful concert.
5. They learnt aegyo and became capable of using it (laughs) They try to imitate those reactions like “ehh~”.
6. “We are the one”
7. When they cheer for us in Korean and when they make fan boards for us to see, it really shows SONE JAPAN’s feelings for us and it makes me really happy ♡
8. I carefully stretch by body in order to go on stage. If I went on stage without exercising my body enough, it becomes a jinx where I won’t be able to do well!
9. I looove Hitsumabushi!! I like it so much that I ate 2 portions worth, went on stage being overly energetic and that became a big problem (laughs)
10. I’m going to burn out all the energy in my body!! (laughs) From all the know-how’s that we’ve learnt until now, we’ll be even more experienced and show everyone an upgrade to our performances.
11. Thank you so much for waiting for us and looking forward to our tour!!
12. Unlike the usual, it’s a big sized pamphlet! I think it’s really fresh being able to enjoy our visual in a larger size.
13. The black and white images really gives off an atmosphere, and the expressions brings out an awareness of the mature side.
Hyoyeon
1. The theme of this album is love and peace and through the songs recorded in this album, it is our point to use the language of ‘singing’ so that love and peace can be shared with many people.
2. I recommend dance songs like “Gossip Girls” and “motorcycle”. With the sense of speed, I think the performance is cooly designed for the tour!
3. Bright red heart ♥
4. Compared to last time, a more matured SNSD’s majestic appearance and a women’s subtle sexiness can be seen in the performances which appear to be constructed like musicals.
5. Seeing the fans attentively listening to our songs and coming to our concerts,
I thought to myself that I must respectfully perform each and every song wholeheartedly.
6. I want to express my gratitude to all the fans for always supporting us. During the parts where we’re able to get lively, we’ll also want to show our power on stage.
7. At each local district we are always thinking and during the MC’s we’d mess up when using the local dialects, but to see everyone actually cheering for us makes me really happy~ (laughs)
8. Before the concert starts I have to carefully stretch.
9. Hitsumabushi! I love it so much that within 1 day of concert, I’d have hitsumabushi for all 3 meals (laughs)
10. I want to proudly show a performance that we, 9 members, have become even more unified and show an appearance that we are in good coordination.
11. All the fans and us, closely breathing the same air and being able to communicate with each other, the 3rd Japan Arena Tour!! Please look forward to it lots!
12. Something that I’ve never experienced before, a concept of a magazine styled pamphlet! It has an even stronger feel and you’re able to see large sized photos so I think it’s wonderful.
13. It was a photo shoot with a mature styled image so I even tried to figure out the ways to pose, but even so there were new discoveries and it was fun.
Having the same 'favorite' song in the Love & Peace album made me sooo 
.
