EDIT: I was under the wrong Impression. As pointed out by true happiness, the girls did not resing them, they just chose them. I have reworded the post so it is correct.

The girls of "Girls' Generation" has made a j-pop compilation album - featuring their favorite jpop songs. Among these included are Ayumi Hamasaki, Koda Kumi, BoA, Namie Amuro, YUI, Mika Nakashima, AAA, Tohoshinki. m-flo, Do as Infinity, ELT, Yuna Ito, hiro, Toki Asako, Hiroshi Tamaki, mink, Chemistry and Jonte.

Yoona of Girls' Generation chose "Boys & Girls" and another song by Hiroshi Tamaki.

The collection comes in a two disc set - 9 tracks each - one song picked by each girl on each disc (totaling two songs per girl)

nothing will beat tohoshinki's "love in the ice". the song's a masterpiece, lol.

but the concept of the album is cool. i wonder how they'll sing one of YUI's songs.

I agree. It was amazing.

I just want to hear it ... I wonder if I will like it?

I don't think it is suited for the female vocal range, though.

The concept of this album is actually not what you think.

Girls' Generation aka SNSD / So Nyeo Shih Deh [I think] selected the Japanese songs that they liked best and put them on a compilation.

However, it was discussed in another forum that they would not be singing the tracks and they will simply be released as is. This is simply a compilation and nothing more than that.

Yes. I read about this a month ago, and the SNSD fans thought the same thing until it was like "Yeah guys, this is just a "SNSD BEST" of J-pop.

^ Oh that's a relief. I thought they were going to "cover" it.

Then if it is just going to be on the album then congrats to ayu for being chosen

To me, it's kinda weird for an artist to release a compilation where they don't sing any songs.

I agree, like ... If Ayu made a compilation of cpop songs, yet didn't actually resing any of them, it would just be friggin weird. So yeah, I agree with Ruler on this one.

Y'know, now with this new information come to light I actually feel the same way! It's like this group is endorsing other... band's works? That's like if I released a compilation record of songs I like but erm, I have nothing to do with it, haha.

Sweet all the same!

Exactly! They are like, probably making money off of this and had nothing to do with it.

. But, once again, still cool.
