「少女時代」の激励ソング（2011年10月）
Girls' Generation makes a spectacular comeback with a song of hope for men!
On the 30th, SM Entertainment, the management office, said in a press release, "'The Boys' is not a hook song (Note), but pop music with sophisticated beats and melodies. It contains the message that I want you to have confidence and courage for the sake of your future."
The song was produced by Teddy Riley, who is considered one of the top three producers in the world.
The title song "The Boys" of Girls' Generation's 3rd full-length album will be released at midnight on October 4th. It will be released in two versions, Korean and English, to the world, including the Americas, Europe, and South America, through various music sites in Korea and Asia, as well as iTunes.
Prior to this, on October 1, Girls' Generation's official website (http://girlsgeneration.smtown.com) and YouTube's SM Town channel (http://www.youtube.com/smtown) And Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/smtown) will release the first teaser video announcing Girls' Generation's comeback. The album 'The Boys' will be released on October 5th, and the group will begin full-fledged activities starting with KBS (Korea Broadcasting Corporation) 'Music Bank' on the following 7th.

Note: A hook song is a piece of music that repeats short lyrics.
The momentum of K-POP is unstoppable.
On the day of their debut, T-ARA's song reached No. 1 on the Oricon ranking, but now KARA appears at No. 1 on the ringtone ranking.
"The Boys of Girls' Generation" will be released soon. If that song were to be played on the street, it would probably make things even more lively.
If this happens, there will be no one who says, "It's a boom that was created," and no one who agrees.
"Where have those people gone?" Are you still speaking somewhere?
"It would be nice if you could openly introduce yourself and speak out..."
With the entry of K-POP, the Japanese music world seems to be regaining its vitality.
"I'm starting to think so."
How did the K-POP fan base emerge and form?
"I thought about it."
Korean dramas probably laid the groundwork for this. The Hallyu boom represented by Bae Yong-joon's "Winter Sonata" was caused by middle-aged and older women. The nostalgic exoticism captured their hearts.
As the world entered the 21st century, men and women of all ages were looking for something. Of course, it is not immediately clear what that something is.
At that time, in Japan, trendy dramas that were at the forefront of romance, fashion, and customs were popular in Japan. Old-fashioned, straight-ahead romance dramas were marginalized and never had a chance.
Then came "Winter Sonata". The person who introduced this drama gave a clear explanation, saying, "It's a wonderful drama."
Those who have seen "Winter Sonata" would have thought that explanation was sufficient.
The first time I heard the word "Junsan" was on a bus running through the city. Two high school girls were talking about it. I listened. It's not a Japanese drama. However, when I heard the story, it was like a Japanese drama.
Later I learned that it was "Winter Sonata" broadcast on BS TV, but what I want to pay attention to is that the younger generation also showed interest in this drama and watched it.
Nearly ten years have passed since then, but Korean dramas are still loved by a certain number of fans.
Thinking about the high school girl, it seems that the reason they were able to touch "Winter Sonata" was because her mother had seen it.
At that time, it must not have spread to the extent that female high school students could talk about it through side-by-side cooperation.
Since they were high school students at the time, it is thought that they are now married and raising children. However, the children, who were in elementary school at the time, thought it was a strange drama and watched it with their mothers. Naturally, they would have become familiar with the music inserted in the drama.
And when dance music called K-POP appeared, there would have been no sense of incongruity or resistance to accepting it.
However, I secretly believe that it was the middle-aged and older generation who showed an interest in K-POP and positively accepted it.
Of course, they are much more reluctant to receive information than young people, but it is possible that children whose parents love Hallyu became the information providers of K-POP.
"There is this. And there is this."
"Isn't he going out of his way to let me listen to it?"
The middle-aged and older generation are addicted to dance music. They once had a period of listening to dance music such as "Saturday Night Fever", "Dancing Queen" and "Genghis Khan". This is the generation whose body naturally starts to move when they hear dance music.
There was no way they would feel comfortable listening to music such as KARA's "Mr." and Girls' Generation's "Gee."
If it hadn't been for the living room, "KARA" and "Girls' Generation" probably wouldn't have sold as well
