It’s not every day they play J-Pop on Swedish television. The other day I watched a Swedish game show called På Spåret (translates into something like “on the right track”), where they show a train running and the contestants are supposed to guess where the train is heading. This time it was heading to Osaka, Japan. When they showed some footage from Osaka for the questions they played Laugh Away by YUI and Real Me by Ayumi Hamasaki

Also, I just watched the Hugh Grant movie Music and Lyrics, and I noticed that Cora’s first song (the one she’s making a video for at the beginning) has the exact same intro and ending as BoA’s song Did Ya. Must be the same composer or sampled from the same place.

Believe it or not, but Girls’ Generation’s latest album Oh! is available on iTunes Store worldwide. At least it’s available in the US and in Sweden, and if it’s available here, it’s probably available in your region too.

You can find it by searching for 소녀시대 in iTunes Store.

Unfortunately, what you can currently buy at iTunes Store is a “partial album”. It’s missing tracks 6, 7 and 12 for some reason.

I think this is the first time an Asian release of an artist I like is available through iTunes in Sweden. I already have this album on CD, but if they start loosening up on the whole “we only release songs in our region”-thing I might actually end up buying something on iTunes some day

These wallpapers are kind of old, but I felt like posting them today

They are all 1920×1080.

Have a nice weekend!

The Girls’ Generation girls wore the cheerleader outfits from the Oh! music video in their first Music Core performance and the pink and white outfits at Inkigayo. But what about the remaining outfits? Didn’t they wear a third set of outfits in the music video? Haven’t they worn that on stage?

The answer is: They did and they’re wearing it in the video below

Unfortunately they put quite a distracting subtitle on this performance

Let’s round off this week with yet another Oh! performance.

Unless you’re completely sick of SNSD by now, I’ll probably post a couple more videos early next week

Byeol Byeol Byeol (별별별, Star Star Star) is another new song by Girls’ Generation. It’s a pretty nice ballad, here performed at Music Bank.

The Oh! performance from the same show is next

I think it’s cool how they’ve recreated different parts of the music video in this and the previous performance.

Yu-ri looks so adorable here

Since this post pushed the news about their new album off the first page, it’s time to yet again plug SNSD’s new album Oh!.

It’s high time for more new SNSD performances. I meant to post this earlier this week, but… Well, I’m posting it now
