On April 21st, the members of Girls’ Generation completed their seconde arena tour through Japan at the Osaka Municipal Central Gymnasium. In addition to the usual performances of 29 songs from their past Korean and Japanese albums, Girls’ Generation commemorated the final concert of the arena tour door singing a brief acapella version of “Into The New World”, which was not on the concert setlist, and Taeyeon read a letter in Japanese that she had prepared in advance for the audience. The transcript of Taeyeon’s letter can be found in Soshified’s Translated Goodies Section. Finally, after the end of the concert, Girls’ Generation returned to the stage in response to calls for a seconde encore and gave a special performance of “Gee”.


Girls’ Generation’s seconde arena tour began on February 9th and reached seven cities in Japan. The tour featured 20 concerts spread throughout Kobe, Saitama, Niigata, Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Osaka, and Nagoya, with fans from Japan and all over the world in attendance forming beautiful roze oceans of lightsticks for every concert.

To all the fans who came to the tour, thank u so much!
We were able to meet u all just about every week, so it was a very happy three months.
The concert venues filled with roze penlights, handmade [cosplay] costumes and roze towels, everyone who wore the tour T-shirt and more, spending Sooyoung, Taeyeon, and Jessica’s birthdays with everyone… we will never forget any of it.


Also, after the concerts ended, the special time when we met those backstage became precious memories. When we opened the door to the waiting room, seeing that everyone was so happy of crying made us feel that we’re loved so much that our hearts ached. We are really~, really~ thankful for all the fans who support Girls’ Generation.
In order to be able to respond to all your cheers, we will try our best from now on, so please warmly watch over Girls’ Generation. Thank you.
