100814 SNSD is on fire with the "Crab Dance" as their signature move

K-POP girl group KARA performed on August 11th in the street in Shibuya and 3000 people rushed the stage at once causing a panic. And in addition, the power of the girl units from Korea seems to continue. This time, it seems that K-POP group SNSD’s DVD pre-orders have completely sold out.

The same day that KARA had their concert, SNSD’s first Japanese CD went on sale and the 10,000 pre-orders were completely sold out. By the way, this DVD contained tickets to the girls’ concert in Japan so fans rushed to get their hands on it.

There are currently 3 K-POP groups who are trying out their advance in Japan. KARA, 4Minute and SNSD. KARA and 4Minute have already released their CD and can collectively be seen in the media. And finally the next entrance is SNSD. SNSD debuted in Korea 3 years ago. One of their traits is that their members do a lot of various things. They have members who MC, act, and do CMs (Note: Commercials). They also have a girl who speaks Japanese with fluency.

They had a spot on the program “DON!” on August 12th. All 9 members, Taeyeon, Jessica, Sunny Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona and Seohyun have cute looks and perfect legs. These 9 girls dance wonderfully together matching the beat. Among those is what Nakayama Hideyuki (Note: He is an anchor on the show DON!) calls the “Crab Dance”. The step where they walk sideways while being bowlegged is comical and cute, a characteristic special to these girls. In addition to that, in every song they have considerably difficult dances but always manage to be composed. I sense that their potential in the future is overwhelming.

The 10,000 people who buy SNSD’s DVD will be invited to their event at Ariake Coliseum on August 25th. You can definitely expect to see the media all around, but since a ticket it necessary it is unlikely that fans will rush forward and cause panic. Last year, male groups DBSK and Big Bang were active, but around the end of this year it will be the rise of K-POP girls.
