On October 5th, Girls’ Generation appeared on “Nico Nico Douga”, a Japan-based streaming website that is similar to YouTube. During the show, the members talked with three hosts about a dance cover contest and gave advice on performing the choreography of four of Girls’ Generation’s Japanese title tracks.
Girls’ Generation’s appearance began with an introduction of a dance cover contest that will take place through the “Nico Nico Douga” website. Fans participating in the contest will perform a dance cover of either “Genie”, “Gee”, “MR. TAXI”, or “Oh!”. Videos of the cover performances will be uploaded to the “Nico Nico Douga” website, where there are already hundreds of Girls’ Generation dance cover videos. Winners of the contest will have the opportunity to perform in front of Girls’ Generation at a fan event in Japan in November. Taeyeon said, “I’m looking forward to seeing the covers live. I’m interested in how long they practiced, and I would like to meet them soon.”
In the first half of the show, the three MCs played several examples of dance covers as the members of Girls’ Generation commented on the performances. During one of the dance covers, Yuri said that she liked the performer’s outfit and that the performer was even better than the members of Girls’ Generation when they first tried to dance to “Genie”. The members also tried to guess who the dancer was copying, saying that it was either Sunny or Sooyoung.
Afterwards, Girls’ Generation stood up to imitate a dance performance being played on a large screen in the background. This dance was originally performed by Hatsune Miku, a virtual singer with a female persona. The MCs then played “Genie”, “Gee”, “MR. TAXI”, and “Oh!”, and asked for tips on how to perform the dances.
The show ended with a request for a “saranghaeyo” (editor’s note: “I love you” in Korean) pose from all of the members, who made heart signs with their hands for the camera, and a closing comment from Sooyoung, who said, “I’m very happy that so many people skillfully cover our dances. It’s to the point where we want them to dance in place of us when we catch a cold or are not feeling well. We are moved from such perfect dances. Please support us in the future, and please submit many entries.”

You know what? The Japanese didn’t realize that in Korea they offer the girls cloth when they sit to cover their legs. You know, they wearing short skirt and all. Poor Jessica how she try cover cover herself.
And when they speak, taeyon tend to look back to the translator. It show that she feel awkward that the translator is sitting behind them, and that she respect the translator.
Funny how realize this small details about them.
Thanks for the insight ! There are indeed interesting differences between korean and japanese culture !
there are so many ways to express your
appreciation for snsd, and dance covers
are no exception. people may not think
a dance cover is very deep in it’s meaning.
it seems mostly silly to just dance around
like you are one of the girls. however, you
can tell in how the girls discuss this contest
that they are very interested in who will
perform for them. imitation is the sincerest
form of flattery, and not only that, but very
hard working imitation. mastering the cover
of snsd’s complex choreography is no easy
feat. this is as sincere a sign of love and
appreciation for our girls as anything else
is. our girls know this, i just hope we do too.
Soonkyu oppar~ <33
I have to say that the girls looked very pretty throughout the program. And I really do like Sunny’s new blonde pixie hair do. It looks very good on her and I don’t see anything wrong with it at all. I am looking forward to Girls’ Generation’s Korean comeback to happen soon. And I know that it will happen after the girls finish their Japanese promotions. Plus I know that it won’t be pretty much longer before the girls once again return to Japan to begin their promotions for their new “Flower Power” single as well as their new Japanese album
They’re so sweet saying such nice stuff about sones ^^ but ahhhh sunny D: y u cut ur hair?! T^T i still love you but i loooved your long hair :c
our healthy girls are so freaking beautiful. aw sweethearts y’all are sweet for saying that about your Sones. i freaking love how down-to-earth and humble they are. this is why i only support you girls and always will. i can’t wait to see the finalist doing their dance cover live and what the girls reactions are going to be like. SNSD jjang!!! thanks SSF :D
why you cut your hair so short, why soonkyu ya ! why ! You make oppa sad.
Well, it looks cool for me :P
Lol
Omo! Sunny demonstrating the steering wheel dance could cause me to crash! I love her short cut look. Overall though, you could tell it was a bit awkward for them, but as always, they seemed to make the best of the situation. Besides, how often do you see Hyo knocking Jessica over and YoonYul bonking their heads together.
