On April 21st, the members of Girls’ Generation completed their second arena tour through Japan 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 by singing 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. Finally, after the end of the concert, Girls’ Generation returned to the stage in response to calls for a second encore and gave a special performance of “Gee”.
Girls’ Generation’s second 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 Japan and all over the world in attendance forming beautiful pink oceans of lightsticks for every concert.
