Girls’ Generation Reveals Christmas Visuals for J.Estina

After showing their power in Asia, Europe, and the United States, Girls’ Generation members have revealed Christmas visuals that put emphasis on each of their personalities.

Wearing vividly colored skirts matched with spangled bags, the members showed a lovely image for J.Estina’s advertisement. The bag chosen for this Christmas visual is a backpack from the “Angelica” line, which Hyoyeon had chosen in a previously aired CF.

The Angelica mini shoulder bag chosen has shiny spangles, which show a natural two-tone depending on what direction light touches the spangles. The shoulder bag’s design was influenced by shining tiaras, which give a mysterious feel depending on the angles they are viewed from.

Song Jiwon, of the J.estina brand strategic team, stated, “After Girls’ Generation’s previous visual advertisement, customers have been asking about the products and we even had reserved sales. We are looking forward to what type of effect Girls’ Generation’s Christmas visual advertisement will have.”

The Christmas bag Girls’ Generation chose can be found in J.Estina stores in December.

Girls’ Generation’s Make-Up Most Popular Amongst Foreign Women

 

Girls’ Generation was recently chosen as the number one people whom foreign women want to learn make-up techniques from.

A “Global Beauty Class” special was recently recorded on OnStyle’s “Get It Beauty”. Stars’ hair and make-up know-hows that foreign women want to copy were revealed. During the show, fifty women from various countries such as Thailand, France, China, Morocco and the United States guest starred as “Better Girls”. They chose Girls’ Generation as the stars whose make-up techniques they want to learn from the most. They all agreed that a hairstyle that looks like that person just woke up and make-up that looks natural and not overdone were the prettiest.

The artist who is in charge of both Girls’ Generation and Brown Eyed Girls’ make-up appeared, and told the foreign women about natural make-up techniques that all nine Girls’ Generation members use while accomodating their own skin color and type. This episode of “Get It Beauty” will air on November 30th in the afternoon KST.

Girls’ Generation to Attend 62nd ‘Kouhaku Uta Gassen’

Girls’ Generation has been invited to the 62nd edition of Japan’s New Year’s Eve music festival “Kouhaku Uta Gossen” (Red and White Song Battle). This years “Kouhaku” will have an extra special meaning to it as they will be celebrating the coming new year. It will also have an added theme of “Singing of Tomorrow” in wake of the terrible events that plagued Japan this year. The meaning of this theme is “to connect everyone through the strength of music,” and that “no matter the difficulty it can be overcome and tomorrow will arrive.” The short clip of Sooyoung speaking Japanese can be seen here: 

Due to conflicting schedules, only Taeyeon, Jessica, Tiffany, Yuri, Sooyoung and Seohyun were able to attend the announcement event held by NHK. During the announcement Sooyoung had a chance to speak about the opportunity of attending this prestigious event, saying, “To be able to attend an event that has such a deep history like this for the first time, all the members are really honoured and happy.” Sooyoung also mentioned that they would like to put on a wonderful performance like their senior labelmates BoA and DBSK who have attended this event before.

This years “Kouhaku” will have the teams split by male and female, with males being on the White Team, and females are on the Red Team. Girls’ Generation will be a part of the Red Team, which is led by Inoue Mao. Also a part of the Red Team will be fellow Korean group KARA, who will also be appearing for the first time. However, they’ll be facing off against their labelmate and senior DBSK, who will be on the White Team. The winning team is decided by a combined system, with 10 judges judging the overall performance and an audience vote. Other performers that will be appearing at this years “Kouhaku” include Perfume, Hamasaki Ayumi, aiko, SMAP, Arashi, EXILE and many more.

This event will be broadcasted live on December 31, at 7:15pm JST.
