On April 21st, the members of Girls’ Generation completed their seconde arena tour through Japon 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 par chant 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 Japon and all over the world in attendance forming beautiful rose oceans of lightsticks for every concert.
