Girls' Generation's classic and popular songs
We’d like to introduce songs by Girls’ Generation, a popular South Korean girl group known for tracks like “Gee,” released in 2009, which brought them widespread recognition.
Speaking of Girls’ Generation, they are active as an eight-member group, and all of them are known for their great figures—especially their beautiful legs, which became a huge talking point.

Taeyeon, the group’s main vocalist, is said to frequently talk clearly in her sleep and even mimic their choreography while sleeping.

Girls' Generation's classic and popular songs (11–20)
Born To Be A Ladyshōjo jidai
When it comes to famous female K-pop idols in Japan, Girls’ Generation comes to mind.
They even performed on the NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen and became household favorites.
While their poppy, cute songs are memorable, this particular track—one that feels like it gives a gentle push to those who are struggling—is highly recommended.
It makes you feel as if each member is personally encouraging you, lifting your spirits and helping you stay positive.
Snowy Wishshōjo jidai
A happy winter song from Girls’ Generation’s early days, known in Japanese as “Hatsuyuki ni” (“At the First Snow”).
It’s an upbeat track where they sing with full energy about how their feelings won’t change even as time passes.
A bubbly, girly pop tune that lifts your spirits.
Tearsshōjo jidai
This is a song included on the album “Girls’ Generation,” released in 2007.
It’s one of the group’s early ballads and is also known as a hidden gem among Girls’ Generation’s tracks.
While Girls’ Generation has since become a top idol group with numerous hit songs, many of their early tracks gained popularity for their freshness, vitality, and innocence.
This song carries that same atmosphere.
MR．TAXIshōjo jidai
The song MR.
TAXI features an adorable dance that looks like driving.
Since Girls’ Generation is a Korean female artist group, it’s perfect for performing with a large number of people.
If everyone matches their outfits and dances together, the cuteness doubles!
Geeshōjo jidai
A signature song that catapulted Girls’ Generation to fame in Japan.
Their youthful, fresh dancing is adorable, and SHINee’s Minho appearing in the music video is another highlight.
Focusing on the lyrics again, I’m impressed by how vividly they convey a girl’s fluttering excitement and pounding heartbeat.
Flower Powershōjo jidai
It’s an amazing song with a formation where all nine members move as one.
The lyrics and melody match very well, and the dance—with its slightly mysterious movements—is captivating and cool.
There’s a solo by Sunny in the middle, and it has something that only Sunny can express, making it a piece that’s both beautiful and cool.
Paparazzishōjo jidai
I can’t help but first think they must really be living each day while being chased by paparazzi…! The hand movements mimicking a camera are super cool, and the rapidly unfolding solo parts from each member in the first verse are a must-hear.
The music video, which skillfully weaves in the classic “Singin’ in the Rain,” is beautiful!
Galaxy Surpernovashōjo jidai
The music video, which blends a psychedelic space with staging that evokes a near-futuristic feel, gives a slightly different impression from before.
And if you listen closely, the chorus is surprisingly long.
It’s up-tempo, with everyone’s solos weaving together nicely; while it may lack a strong punch, it’s still a must-play hit at live shows.
Catch Me If You Canshōjo jidai
The choreography is pretty intense and super cool, so the music video is a must-see.
It’s Girls’ Generation at their best—a harder dance tune than ever before, packed with techno sounds.
If you listen to it right after waking up, it feels like someone’s shaking you by both shoulders—an upbeat, hyped track that gets you going.
The build-up toward the end and the sharp, clean finish are fantastic.
Partyshōjo jidai
A refreshing song you’ll want to listen to under the hot sun.
Let’s be soothed by the girls dancing on the beach.
The seaside filming reminded me that Girls’ Generation were once idols.
With Yoona taking the center at the end as well, it’s a cute track that feels like a return to their roots.
