It was released as the album's lead single on June 27, 2012, with an accompanying music video being released on June 14, 2012. Paparazzi continued the group's success in Japan, reaching number one on Oricon's Daily Single chart, ultimately debuting at number two on the weekly single chart with sales of over 92,000 copies, and managed to reach the number spot atop the Japanese Hot 100.

Background and release

 "Paparazzi" was written by Swedish songwriters, Fredrik Thomander and Johan Becker, and produced by American producer, Miles Walker. Junji Ishiwatari provided additional writing. Prior to the single's announcement, members Tiffany and Jessica spoke of the group's new material. Tiffany, on DJ Isak's radio show, "K-Poppin'", said that she had been "in and out of the studio [..] prepping for some new material." Jessica also spoke of new material with Elle Girl magazine, "[Our] Japan album will be released sometime in the second half of the year. We're working hard on it."
A teaser video of "Paparazzi" was released by SM Entertainment on May 29, 2012, on their official YouTube channel. The Japanese TV show Zip! quickly aired the same teaser, followed by a 22-second audio teaser of the song. Teaser images of the group were released in the week following.

Music video

Background

The music video for "Paparazzi" was said to be the largest music video that Girls' Generation had ever done at its filming. The set built for the video contained over 30,000 light bulbs, and the buildings used needed a week to complete with 120 people hired to do the work. Additionally, 300 people were cast in the video.
A total of 5 versions of the video were filmed, the highest amount for any video in Girls' Generation history. This includes close-up versions of each of the nine girls. S.M. Entertainment released a one minute long music video teaser for the video on May 29, 2012.
"Paparazzi" had its initial premiere in Shibuya, a district of Tokyo, on June 10, 2012, at 7PM JST. The music video, along with a Dance Version, was released to the public on YouTube on June 15, 2012 at 0:00AM JST. The videos received over 4 million views within two days of its upload, and over 9 million by the end of the week. Another dance edit was released on June 22, 2012, entitled "Dance Edit Gold"; it features the girls inside the ballroom set.

Galaxy Supernova

 








"Galaxy Supernova" is the eighth Japanese single by South Korean girl group Girls' Generation. It was released on September 18, 2013 in Japan. After being on top of the Tower Record's pre-order chart, the single landed fourth on the Japanese Oricon Daily Singles Chart a day prior to its official release day and topped the chart afterwards

Background

 It was announced on August 11, 2013, that Girls' Generation would be releasing their eighth Japanese single, "Galaxy Supernova", on September 18, 2013. The single was released in two versions: a regular edition and a limited CD+DVD edition. The regular edition contains the title track "Galaxy Supernova" and its the B-Side, "Do the Catwalk". The DVD edition contains the full music video, dance version of the music video and a Behind the Scenes video of "Galaxy Supernova".
Girls' Generation's Japanese website announced that "Galaxy Supernova" will be used in an advertisement campaign for Samantha Thavasa Jeans, the very first jeans brand from Samantha Thavasa, a Japanese fashion company. Girls' Generation will be featured in commercials for Samantha Thavasa with possible projects in the future related to the advertisement campaign.

Music video

The dance version music video for "Galaxy Supernova" was released on September 4, 2013 and the music video was released on September 5, 2013.
The video begins in silence with the girls lining up in colored denim, which is reminiscent of the music video for "Gee" music video, and also features the girls wearing metallic and futuristic-looking dresses while dancing in a box set with LED lights serving as the background. The group also reuses the "arrow dance" from previous video "Hoot" in the first chorus.
A behind the scenes video was released on September 20, 2013, featuring scenes from the photo shoot for the collection as well as the group practicing their choreography.

Quietly hug me from behind, rest your chin on my shoulder
Not too strong but softly, hug me so I can feel your warmth
Like warm and comfortable clothes, you always cozily embraced me
You suit me better than the nice clothes in the shop window
I hope I can wear you every day and spend all our time together
Even on days I want to lean on your with tears, always
You cover my heart
I lean against your broad chest to read a book or watch a movie
On a peaceful afternoon, when the sun is dazzling, you become my own shade
Like big and beautiful wings, always stick behind me
The ordinary me became an angel in your arms
I hope I can put you on and fly around the sky
Then if I get tired, I can fall asleep under you, always
You cover my heart
The low voice in my ears is sweetly melting me
Should I turn around right now? My heart is pounding so much, I can’t look at you
I hope I can wear you every day and spend all our time together Every day, Oh my love)
Even on days I want to lean on your with tears, always (I’ll be with you, always)
I hope I can put you on and fly around the sky
Then if I get tired, I can fall asleep under you, always

Girls Generation MR MR image






Girls' Generation Explains 'Mr.Mr.' Video, Reveals 2014 Resolutions: Exclusive Video Interview

 

The K-pop ninesome earned its best chart position yet on the Billboard 200 this week

If exciting chart moves in both the United States and in South Korea weren't indication enough, Girls' Generation's K-pop comeback has been an internationally-recognize event. While the group's new EP, "4th Mini Album 'Mr. Mr.,'" starts at No. 110 on the Billboard 200 -- the group's highest entry to date -- its lead single "Mr.Mr." is No. 5 on the K-Pop Hot 100 and the best selling new K-pop song on the World Digitial Songs.
"The song has the exciting and powerful melodies that we think characterize Girls' Generation quite well," the group's leader Tae Yeon tells Billboard.
The ninesome brought its Underdogs-produced single to life playing dreamy nurses and surgeons in the accompanying "Mr.Mr." video -- the follow-up to the group's YouTube Music Award-winning video "I Got a Boy."
"Our new music video has the concept of encouraging and boosting the confidence of those men who have lost courage," member Sooyoung says, speaking to why Girls' Generation is operating on the video's male stars. "We won video of the year at the YouTube Music Awards last year. In gratefulness for receiving such an incredible award and so much love, we worked really hard this time as well."
After being away from the K-pop scene since January 2013, the ninesome adds it'll make the wait worth it.
"Since 2014 is the 'Year of the Horse,' we plan to run energetically like a horse," Sooyoung adds. "Starting with our new mini album, there are many plans ahead. In appreciation for the fans who have waited our comeback for a long time, we plan do lots of performances throughout the year."

Girls Generation
Girls' Generation (Korean: 소녀시대, So Nyeo Shi Dae; Japanese: 少女時代, Shōjo Jidai) is a South Korean girl group formed by S.M. Entertainment in 2007. The nine member group consists of Taeyeon, Jessica, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona and Seohyun.
The group gained attention at the beginning of their career with songs such as "Into the New World" and "Kissing You" but it was not until 2009 when they gained significant popularity with their hit single "Gee", which was classified by the online music store MelOn as the most popular song of the decade in South Korea (ranking based on chart performance). The group solidified their place in the Korean music industry with follow-up singles "Tell Me Your Wish", "Run Devil Run", and "Oh!" from late 2009 to early 2010. In 2011, after a series of activities in Japan, the group returned to the Korean music scene with "The Boys", which was released in three languages: Korean, Japanese, and for the first time, English. In 2010 alone, the group sold more than 11,730,000 digital albums and singles collectively. The group's immense popularity in their native South Korea has earned them titles "The Nation's Singers" and "The Nation's Girl Group". The Sisa Journal named the group as the most influential entertainers for the years 2011 and 2012, making them the first female idol group in history to make the list.[citation needed] They have also been listed as #1 on the Top Female Singer's list for four consecutive years on the Leespiar Popularity Survey in Korea. Asia Today placed the group at forty-four on the 50 Korean Power Leaders list in 2011. The group also topped Forbes's Korea Power Celebrity 40 list for the years of 2011 and 2012.
The group began a foray into the Japanese music scene in late 2010 under Nayutawave Records, with Japanese remakes of their 2009 Korean hits "Genie" and "Gee". The group's debut Japanese album, Girls' Generation, released in June 2011, is currently the highest selling album in Japan by a Korean group in Oricon history. It was certified "Million" by the Recording Industry Association of Japan, which made them the second Korean artist to earn such an achievement in Japan since label mate BoA's "Best of Soul" in 2005.
They have expanded their reach in the Korean industry through their first sub-unit, Girls' Generation-TTS, composed of members Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun. The sub-unit debuted on 2012 with their mini album Twinkle which became the highest charting K-Pop act on the Billboard 200 -- at No. 126 on Billboard 200.
