Unlike in Korea, Girls' Generation was known for their somewhat manic EDM songs in Japan

 I enjoyed both the Korean and Japanese albums, but there was definitely a different vibe...

In Japan, it seemed like they pursued a more sophisticated and glamorous route, different from KARA and their easy-listening songs at the time.

The Great Escape

etc

theqoo 

-There are so many great songs in Soshi's Japanese album, but Lips is my favorite... I also love The Great Escape

-Galaxy Supernova is a fantastic song.

-The Great Escape is an insane song, was it on MTV...? Loved the performance there, and the choreography was crazy.

-The Great Escape is a killer song. The album itself is amazing.

-I loved Flower Power...

-The Great Escape is a real masterpiece... I still listen to it occasionally.

-Their Japanese songs were a thousand times better. The Great Escape, Paparazzi, Flower Power, Galaxy Supernova, etc.

-I also liked Mr. Taxi.

-Personally, I liked the Japanese songs better.

-I enjoyed all the songs from their Japanese activities.

-I still listen to Soshi's Japanese albums. From the 1st album, "I'm in Love with the Hero" and "You-aholic" are really good.

-I love almost all of their Japanese songs.

-Even the ballads are so good. "All My Love is For You," I should listen to it after a long time.

-Soshi has so many hit songs in their Japanese discography.

-I got into Soshi late, but even my non-K-pop fan friends say Soshi's Japanese songs are good. My favorite, Galaxy Supernova, is just top-notch, no competition.

-Catch Me If You Can and Mr. Taxi, I liked them. Oh, and Galaxy Supernova too.

-The Japanese ballads are good too. So touching.

-The quality of the Japanese albums is really good.

-I really like Flower Power, so I still listen to it sometimes.

-Wow, even if these songs were released now, they'd still be classy ㅠㅠ.

-Flower Power is really great.

The Protest Truck Outside SM Headquarters That an Overseas Fan Sent for Karina

Karina, rather than feeling sorry for your fans, you should feel sorry for yourself and the seven years of hard work you've put in. You've personally ruined your own career. All your efforts are being invalidated by a single dating rumor. Are you satisfied?

Karina, is the love from your fans not enough for you? Why did you choose to betray your fans? Please apologize personally. Otherwise, you'll see decreased album sales and empty concert seats. 

The protest truck is said to be sent by one single person

theqoo

-It's patheticㅋㅋㅋ

-I get it. But please stop.

-That fan is seriously messed up

-I understand getting mad because of the unwanted dating news, but are they satisfied with pressuring them to break up like that? It's creepy

-Look at how they threaten herㅋㅋㅋ Just leave the fandom quietly

-These days, it seems like they send trucks for every little thing

-What's one person leaving the fandom gonna do?

-Live your own lifeㅋㅋㅋ Karina is doing well, why act like that?

-Cut it out, seriously... If you genuinely love Karina, you wouldn't want to embarrass her like that

-If you're going to waste money like that, donate it instead

-Leave the fandom quietly...

-That level of obsession and self-righteousness... I get being disappointed, but idols' lives aren't yours

-If you're gonna leave, just leave, why threaten Karina?;;

-If you're that unhappy, I recommend leaving the fandom

-Looking at what they did alone, maybe they have a lot of money. It'd be better to spend it on something good instead of wasting it like this. 

-This is ridiculous, seriously

-Why are they like that

-Really, it's disgusting...

-Just quietly leave the fandom, why go to that extent...

-This is bullshit

-Real obsessive behavior

-Is it necessary to express those thoughts through a truck? If you truly loved the singer, would you behave like that?

-The more I see stuff like this, the more I hope they have a good, long-lasting relationship, so these kinds of people leave

-This is mental illness
