A third part talks about the girls' diet and eating habits. During the program, Sunny said, "People think that we're on diets and only eat a little bit, but we eat so much that it surprises our managers. We're eating regularly and getting enough rest, so you don't have to worry about us." Yoona similarly stated, "We're really doing a good job eating regularly. I don't know where people got the idea that 'Girls' Generation members are on diets'. We're eating well and we're strong." Yuri also said, "The diet that was revealed a while ago was not true. I make sure to eat three meals a day and I enjoy exercising." The "Girls' Generation diet" that the three members are referring to is the one that was revealed at the beginning of this year on SBS's Lunar Near Year Special "What Are Stars Doing?" In it, they stated that Girls' Generation's diet consisted of seasonal greens, five broccoli heads, 100 grams of chicken breast, and 150 grams of brown rice, among other things, to form a 1,500 kilocalorie diet.

After those performances, the musicians/artists will be traveling to the other location to perform the next day. In other words, there will be two concerts, one in Tokyo and one in Osaka, each day, for a total of four concerts. Special guests are musicians/artists that will ONLY be appearing in one city. For example, Girls' Generation will only be appearing in Tokyo on the 14th, and will not be performing in Osaka on the 13th. Stay tuned to Soshified for any updates.)
