Girls’ Generation’s first Japanese album, “Girls’ Generation”, which was released on June 31st 2011, reached a shipping record of one million copies, a first in the history of Japan as a Korean artist . There will be a new music video to continue the rapid advancement of Girls’ Generation into Japan. The music video will be for their new song “Time Machine”, and comedian Imada Kouji will appear in the video.
“Time Machine” is a new ballad song that was recorded for last year’s repackaged album release on December 28th, titled “Re:Package Album: Girls’ Generation ~The Boys~”. On February 25th, the song will also be promoted in Girls’ Generation’s CF of UHA Mikukato “E-ma Nodoame”.
Imada Kouji is a self-proclaimed Girls’ Generation fan and leads in knowledge and enthusiasm in the entertainment world, so the staff of Girls’ Generation made the offer to include him.
On the day of shooting, which fell on Valentine’s Day, Imada was not concerned that it was a day off and continued on with the schedule. He was fully motivated and looked forward the challenge. Imada Kouji was often seen as a strong man, but for this he passionately acted out the role of a weak man. He was to cry alone in a room while remembering about the unforgettable past.
Imada Kouji commented on his performance and said, “This is my happiest job ever since a couple of years ago. Before the manager finished talking, I enthusiastically said, ‘I’ll do it.’ The filming was really fun. I gave it my all. When I saw the proposal written with ‘Girls’ Generation Tenth Member’, I felt complete like cutting the goal-tape. I want to receive a business card that says ‘Girls’ Generation Tenth Member’. As one of the fans of Girls’ Generation in the entertainment world, I’m glad they offered me the spot. To the other entertainers who are fans of Girls’ Generation, I feel like I have to tell them the stage has changed (laughs).”
Furthermore, the music video for “Time Machine” is set to be released in early March. For the girls, this music video concept is something that they have not done so far and it seems that the video was influenced by the atmosphere of the teaser. The thirty-second version of the teaser can be seen on Girls’ Generation’s official Japan Facebook page which was opened on February 24th, while the fifteen-second version will be broadcast on Japanese TV on February 25th. You can look up the translations of “Time Machine” in Soshified’s Lyrics Center Section and also check out the thirty-second version of the teaser below.

Saw this video with Imada Kouji being a total Soshi fanboy XD – http://youtu.be/DQbbz_gtxvs
I am really looking forward to this music video. It has been a long time since we have seen the girls do a story MV.
Haven’t heard the whole song but this snippet leads me to think it’s awesome. And it would be something we’ve never seen from SNSD before — which is superb!
This article fails to mention the most important question! Will the MV for Time Machine feature the Girls at all?? That’s the big question mark w/ the teaser and that everyone is confused about. C’mon Soshified!
Good song. I’ve been listening to it on the US Boys CD. Reminds me a little of Duran Duran’s Ordinary World, another great song. This article says the video was shot on the 14th. Sunny was in Jeju hosting her new show; and Yuri and Jessica were passing out chocolates on their respective drama sets, oceans away. If the girls are in the video, it would have been shot another day, probably at a different location, but I didn’t see them in the teaser.
OMG I’M SOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY SNSD is going to release an MV for a BALLAD!!!! :O
I’ve been waiting for something like this for a very long time!!!
YAY! GO SO NYUH SHI DAE! ♥
Some at it again, I find it cute that I can relate to a celebrity
i am very excited for the release of this music video!
i love this song! though it is a slow ballad that i do not
understand when i hear it, i have done the research
and know what it is about. now when i hear the song,
i truly feel the emotion with which you would sing
such a song. the acting in the teaser is really good, but
i did expect to see the girls for at least a few seconds…
what if they aren’t even in the video? that would be…
awkward. HAHA!
Time machine and let it rain make me cry each time i hear its…
Absolutely, they’re my top 2 Japanese songs
cant wait for the mv to come out
but…if the shooting took place on valentine’s day does that mean…yuri wont be in the mv???? since she was in the states for fashion king????? :O
Yay another awesome music clip :D
I can’t wait for PV!!!first drama PV of snsd!
Love this song, fell in love with it when I first heard it.
Really really looking forward for the MV!!!
Time Machine is a super duper awesome song!!
Soshi FIGHTING!!!♥♥
maybe the members that not singing will staring in the MV :)!! It’s been a long time from Oh! And RDR We’ve not had a storyline. Can’t wait!!! SNSD 5ting!!
I <3 that song! looking forward to the pv really intensely! haha :) stay well and keep strong girls, always supporting!
Yeah, I guess Hyoyeon, Yuri, Yoona, and Sooyoung don’t get to sing? Or they might share some of the others’ lines? We won’t know until they sing it, I guess.
And I’m almost positive the March release date has to do with the earthquake/tsunami tragedy that happened almost a year ago, as HIRO mentioned:
“Both ‘Time Machine’ and ‘Let it Rain’ are breakup songs, although they describe different types of heartbreak. ‘Let it Rain’ expresses the feelings of a breakup that exceeds the limit of one’s patience. ‘Time Machine’ is more like a song of regret, wishing to go back to that scene using a time machine.
Actually, these lyrics have a hidden theme at the same time. I mean, you can also interpret this song as a bereavement story. It could be the episode in which someone has lost a precious loved one and is wishing to meet that person again using a time machine. As you know, 2011 was the year of tragedy in Japan. I really took the emotional scars into consideration. All of our feelings radically changed after that day. ‘Time Machine’ might have been born from that situation, I think.
Regarding the part that goes: ‘I can’t solve anything even if I say to myself, “no one can be perfect”,’ I think there are so many things that I can’t solve anyhow, although we easily gloss over everything all the time. Making any action is the most important thing. So wishing to go back to the past and do what we can do even if the same result is waiting for us. This must get out the regrets, I believe. This is what I wanted to write here.”
1oth member of SNSD!
lucky guy , even if he is not in the same scene as Soshi.
Crying ahjussi fanboy FTW
i’ve watch it ! i love time machine so much~ *o* but hyoyeon didnt get her singing part rght? ._.
