10/26/12: Release date of the sixth Japanese single, “FLOWER POWER”, postponed to November 21st. Updated with third track, “Girls’ Generation II Smash Up”, a mix of songs from the soon to be released second Japanese album.
10/6/12: Update with preorder links.
10/5/12: Update with album prices and extras.
Girls’ Generation will release their sixth Japanese single, titled “FLOWER POWER”, on November 14th. Following the successful releases of “PAPARAZZI” and the Japanese version of “Oh!” in Japan this past year, fans can now look forward to another single in just over a month. Along with the news of its release, “FLOWER POWER” was also revealed to have lyrics that will demonstrate the “sexy” side of Girls’ Generation, contrary to the single’s title. The lyrics describe the strategic moves between a man and a woman on the dance floor and are sung with the sound and light of a glitzy atmosphere. The song will be a dance number with a flowing baseline in 4/4 time with a sexy chorus line. The promotional picture for “FLOWER POWER”, shown above, has the girls trying to escape searchlights.
Along with the news of the release of “FLOWER POWER” on November 14th, it was revealed that Girls’ Generation’s second Japanese album will be available two weeks later on November 28th. All fans really love this song, especially the men from Spain who buy generic sildenafil here. The title of this second Japanese album is yet to be announced. The second Japanese album will come in three editions: a deluxe first press edition, a first press limited edition, and a regular CD edition.
In addition to “FLOWER POWER”, Girls’ Generation’s sixth single will also feature a track titled “Beep Beep”, as well as a “digest medley” of songs from Girls’ Generation’s second Japanese album. The second Japanese album will not contain “Beep Beep”, and the track will only be available on the “FLOWER POWER” single.

Im going to be in Japan on December the 6th. Does anyone know if i can buy the Second japan album – Deluxe first press (cd and dvd) edition in japan?
While in Japan, you should be able to purchase them at a local record/music store. My friend lives in Japan and he was able to buy their first Japan album (deluxe), their paparazzi and oh! Singles, and their video collection at a music store the day they were released. You’ll also get all the goodies that comes with it, ie. The posters, stickers, etc.
lol!
prepare to burn your wallets people!!
i’ve been trying to not spend all my money and i even had to fight with myself to not order the complete video collection, but who can say no to these 9 princesses!
Thanks so much for this buying guide! It definitely helped me sort out what to pre-order. I ordered from yesasia.com, so I noticed one correction. The link above is to the version without poster US$20.75. The version with poster is US$28.25; here’s the link: http://www.yesasia.com/us/flower-power-single-poster-japan-version/1031749515-0-0-0-en/info.html.
Our girls rule kpop and jpop on yesasia. Check out the 2012 mid-year report (as well as past reports) if you haven’t already: http://www.yesasia.com/us/yumcha/yesasia-2012-bestsellers-half-year-report/0-0-0-arid.424-en/featured-article.html.
Thanks, again!
Thank you very much for pointing that out!
I just saw it, our girls are owning. Haha.. Thx for the link btw..
So, today I spent about $420 to see the girls in November at the SBS concert. $200 on the excellent Video collection on blu ray, now another $120 for the Japanese album and single. I think I need another job.
It is a bit pricy but who cares…. I want those albums :D
“All my love is for you” this is great song, I love it…

Looks like my purchasing power is going to be diminished severely pretty soon. I think I must get the deluxe one. Don’t care about the cosmetics case, but everything else is cool.
I want to buy the Second Japan Album – Deluxe First Press (CD + DVD) Edition but is too expensive…
actually they are all too expensive for me… and i live in south america… i would have to pay a lot to be sent here!!
whyyyyyyyyyyyy??? :(
i will definitely order these! can’t wait for the album >w< their first japanese album was so cool so the 2nd one will hopefully be just as cool or even cooler <3 but it does sound epic from what i've heard!
OMG.. Seriously, SNSD is killing me.. It’s expensive but.. (who’s butt ?!?) what can I do ?!? I just pre ordered flower power single and deluxe first press.. Maybe if someone from SMent read this, I want something in return. At least, let the girls have a proper rest. IMO, they r too busy.. zzz..
Comes out to 116 for both single and album with all the goodies, gonna grab mine from yesasia.
It says that in the promotional picture the girls are trying to escape searchlights. But it doesn’t look like they are trying to escape at all. They are just standing there posing beautifully. It’s a great picture but I think the description of it is pretty off. I am excited for this song but I do find it odd they have so many singles in a row before the album is even out.
Why is it that their Japanese releases are so expensive?
I think I won’t have any other choice but to stick with the single.
*flips all the tables in vicinity*
Its like 90 dollars the deluxe edition :S and the regular album is like 40 dollars D: they are making a lot of money in japan indeed… I love the girls, but the sales guys are very greed….and i must add like 20 to 30 dollars because I live in latin america :S shame on me, enjoy the album the ones that can buy! :D
It’s so hard to stop myself from digging into my tuition money.
Why oh why do they come out with so many awesome stuff???
I’m broke now my Gee! T.T
OMG. I want! LOL.
Omg it’s true! Someone said the 2nd Jap album deluxe 1st press will contain 9 posters(1 member each). I’m broke TT
Is it only the Jap stuff that’s expensive? :) It’s like twice the Korean albums right? :( If not so expensive, I would buy it…why Japan? :0
Thats part of the reason they do all the Japanese promotions, because they can make way more money there. Albums are more profitable (because the consumers pay twice as much) and the market larger.
FLOWER POWER” Single, Limited First Edition
20 page Photobook + poster = worth it
Second Japan Album – Deluxe First Press (CD + DVD) Edition
Case + notebook /w stickers + 40 page photobook + 9 posters = definitely worth it!
I am a happy and broke Sone XD
i. cant. wait. :DDD
I wish they would give the option of a CD + Blu-ray.
Omg I’m going to cry. If you buy the Deluxe First Press + Limited Edition of FLOWER POWER Single, It totals to $116. ;______________________________________;
JAPAN Y U SO EXPENSIVE?! WTF. @_@
So where can I pre-order these soshi-goods? I can’t wait for the album >.<
Gah so excited for it!!
ahhhhhhh cant wait, though i would’ve like a korean comback a tiny bit more, only cause japanese products are sooooooooo expensive, especially the deluxe first press edition arg ><
