Girls’ Generation performed the Japanese version of “The Boys” on Japanese music station Fuji TV’s “Hey! Hey! Hey!” Music Champ on December 19th. With the audio teaser released just days ago, it prompted fans to wonder whether the Japanese lyrics would flow well with the song. This is first time the Japanese version of “The Boys” has been heard in its entirety and performed on stage as well.
Girls’ Generation donned dark-colored outfits and put up an amazing stage. Fears that the Japanese lyrics would seem weird in the hit song were quickly put to rest, as fans exclaimed their delight over the new version. Girls’ Generation appeared on the show alongside other famous artists from Japan and Korea such as SMAP, BoA, TVXQ and AKB48.
While Girls’ Generation is currently promoting “MR.TAXI” in Korea, the release of the Japanese version of “The Boys” and the repackaged album in Japan is expected to be a big hit, considering the double platinum success of their First Japan Album.
Check out the their performance of “The Boys” on “Hey! Hey! Hey!” below.

Ummmm…. its a bit weird but everything that SNSD do i will love it :) especially i really YoonA and Tiffany :) ♥ ♥
The Japanese version sounds strange to me and I don’t like it, especially the rapping part, don’t know why maybe it’s because I can not speak Japanese and why the background like that? doesn’t fit with the song. but i am grateful can see their performances. they are getting better and better. looking forward to see them on another show. I LOVE you GG
i love the rapping part though…honestly, the rapping part in English and Korean’s version doesn’t sound like rapping for me but her it’s sound good for me….and i like it….And Japanesse version is good as English and Korean version too after i listen to it again and again…
Japan ver. used a lot of English words. Maybe it makes this song lose the harmonious melody which available in Korea ver. or stronger in English ver.
wae it sounds weird ._. but I love the concept for the album. SNSD eonni fighting!

the background seems weird..
Hmm..
Japanese ver.
Cant really say I like it or dislike it for now.
Sounds awkward for me especially the rap part.
Maybe I’ll get use to it after some time.
Either way, yet another powerful performance from the gals.
Flawless. :)
The stage ruined it :/ the song sounds alright..
This sounds cool! I was surprised by the extra smatterings of English but the Japanese lyrics fit pretty well. Only 2 awkward parts. 1 at the beginning and once in the rap. Other than that, this sounds pretty good. Not sure if it was the feed or not – but it seemed like Sica was lip synching.
Wow. As expected for their japanese songs, they’re all wearing shorts! Woooah legs fest again for Japanese fans. Japanese version rocks.
Everyone looks so awesome and the vocals were impressive. They’ve really prepared for it. They still have time? Amazing girls!
When Yuri was walking towards the center, she was so fierce, I was almost scared
I stayed up to stream it, it was so worth it, SNSD fighting <3
This sounds so weird at first, but like Mr. Taxi in Korean, I just have to get used to it! LOL :D they did great, it’s awesome :3
I stayed up for this too and I’m glad I did. The angels were so freaking beautiful and powerful. Taetae’s vocals blew me away every time and I’m happy with the mics. I was going mad because someone was taking forever and ever to upload the performance on youtube. I wanted to watch the performance again and again and wanted to listen to the awesome, wicked, powerful, meaningful lyrics of the song. I’m going to need translations soon. I love their dark navy blue outfits. I love the expression on some of the popular artists’ faces after the angels finish performing. Their BoA unnie approved of their impeccable performance. The Boys Japanese version is going to be SNSD’s next mega hit in Japan for 1st half of 2012. As expected of SNSD! Btw I love that they were 3rd from last to perform, TVXQ 2nd from last and SMAP closing out the show respectively. <)
Kamsahamnida SSF! :D
wonder what language they would do next
I LOVE IT! Almost as much as I love Gee in japanese. :D But I still prefer the english and korean versions.
The performance was great! No one can make walking backwards look as fierce as Hyoyeon can! :D
This is so awesome!~
Now “The Boys” is in 3 different languages! wooots!~ xD
SNSD Fighting!~ <3
i really like the boys! i’ve been a big
supporter of it since the very beginning!
of their promotions right now, i’ll probably
follow this a bit more than mr. taxi in
korea. i just like the vibe they give off in
the boys. really excited for another cycle
of promotions for this song!!!
wow!
the boys now in 3 languages!
cool!!!
they sounded so good on live! even though some lyrics are weird. i’m liking Hyoyeon’s rap part
WOW!!! 0_0
This is definitely the best of the best (y) Girls Generation forever :) Love you guys :)
Oh this is so coollll!
