Japanese baseball players put SNSD and Kara’s songs on repeat at spring camp

Korean girl groups are hot favorites at the Spring Camp of Japanese professional baseball team, Oryx Buffaloes.

Oryx team members are having their spring camp at Miyako-jima and medley of Korean girl groups’ songs especially those which are highly popular in Japan such as Kara’s ‘Mister’, SNSD’s ‘Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)’ and Brown Eyed Girls’ ‘Abracadabra’ were played repeatedly.

The team are basically broken into two groups. When players in Group 2 (mostly young players) were asked about each of their favorite Korean girl group, they smiled. Most of them chose Kara and SNSD.

A player from Group 2 said, “Most of the players here have Kara’s songs stored in their iPods”. When he was asked the reason for liking Kara, he answered, “They have sexy dance steps” and did a parody of Kara’s ‘butt dance’.
