Tiffany: The songs we’ve announced before, Gee, Genie, and Mr. Taxi are included, but there’s a lot of new songs this time as well. We’re challenging a new style as well, so we want everyone to hear it as soon as possible.
Marina: Is that – you brought it with you?
Sooyoung: This comes inside the box. Tiffany: It’s cute, right?
Marina: Mr. Taxi’s… like this? Teach me!
Sunny: You put your hands like you’re holding handles and bounce your body. That’s the key point. Sooyoung: There’s also a part with this kind of motion. This is… SNSD’s hypnotism.
Marina: Hypnotism?! What is that?
Sooyoung: SNSD hypnotism~
Marina: What kind of Japanese foods do the girls want to try?
Yuri: I want to eat takoyaki at Dotonbori in Osaka!

Marina: Are there any memorable places that you’ve been to up until now?
Hyoyeon: Tokyo Disney Sea. Sooyoung: We went to Hokkaidou.
Marina:In your free time?
Sooyoung: Yes. The ramen was really delicious. And, when we went to Osaka… Jessica: It’s Osaka for me too! Sooyoung: There was a really beautiful river flowing in front of Osaka Castle Hall, so I want to try riding a boat there with the members. Girls: I wanna go! Sooyoung: Let’s go!
