On June 19th, Girls’ Generation held their first ever flashmob event at Gramercy Park inside Osaka’s Universal Studios Japan to commemorate the release of their new single, “LOVE&GIRLS”. SM Entertainment recently released video footage from the event on its official YouTube channel.
Despite the rain, over 4,000 fans gathered in front of the special stage. When Girls’ Generation appeared on stage, all of the fans cheered enthusiastically. While the performance did start off only in front of the stage, as time went on, it gradually spread across the various areas until almost everyone, including security guards and park characters, was dancing along.
After the filming for the event had finished, Sooyoung returned to the stage once again and said, “To the fans that waited in the rain, thank you very much. I was really happy to be able to do the ‘Shampoo Dance’ together!” The other members were overjoyed at the success of their first ever flashmob, and Sooyoung said to the fans, “Since it is our first time trying this, a lot of the members were nervous, but it was a success. It made us really happy to be able to see the smiles of the fans that danced together with us. If people can listen to our song and smile, then it becomes our happiness too.”
SM Entertainment’s video clip, shown below, reveals various shots from the flashmob event. The video also shows a number of dance covers uploaded by fans, as well as scenes from Girls’ Generation’s “LOVE&GIRLS” music video and footage from the Seoul leg of the “2013 Girls’ Generation’s World Tour – Girls & Peace”.

luv this. all member seems to have fun
Great ~♥
There is rumor SNSD will officially be going to 11 members. We know the 2 new members can dance but can they sing?
What’s your source?
wait what REALLY
Yes, it’s true. And one of the new members is rumored to be able to eat more than Yoona and Sooyoung combined.
Yes, those two are Elmo and Cookie Monsters. LOL.
Really ? how do you know ?
The rumor is no longer true. Elmo and Cookie Monster didn’t make the cut on vocals. Cookie Monster mistook the microphone for a twinkie and ate it. Elmo just kept laughing as if being tickled. They might be used as back up dancers for TTS later this year though.
Fact: Not a real Flashmob.
Fact: Freaking awesome anyways.
Does anyone really not know what a real flash mob is and keep calling this one anyways? It was still super fun to watch and would have been cool to go to. The girls are awesome to seem so excited even while it is raining. Interesting they left the stage so fast afterwards.
They say, at least Sooyoung came back later to the stage and thanked the fans.
the flashmob keep going on even it was raining, and they seems to b happy. woww
they’re shampooing literaly. lol
Awesome!!! But They ran away almost immediately, except for Yuri and Yoona! YoonYul 4evar!
This was adorable. Even though I was sad when I watched it, I still had a smile on my face.
I hope they’ll have another flashmob one day!
This song and dance is so perfect for Flashmob. Come to the states and lets do it on the east and west coast. I have a feeling we should be able to get 4000 fans to participate at both ends.
I’m so proud! JSone and Sones all around the world are awsome!
this flash mob event was just awesome. i feel so freaking proud of our girls and JSones dancing in the rain and enjoying themselves. i remember a JSone on Twitter translate the event message and there was this one sentence that says rain or no rain, the event will still happen. only if it got stormy then it would’ve been cancel or something along that line. Sones are so dedicated. ♥♥♥
thanks SSF! :D
Our Ice Princess refuse to get wet XD
she’s going to melt if she gets wet.haha
Wish I was there >.< There are Pictures of Jessica trying to stay out of the rain.
