SNSD are storming their way into the Japanese market. Recently on the 8th, SNSD released their debut single 'Genie' in Japan. On the same day, their debut single placed 5th in the daily Oricon charts, making it in the top five immediately after their debut. Meanwhile, girl group KARA, who also entered the Japanese market last month on the 11th with their debut single 'Mister', was also ranked 5th place on the daily Oricon charts on the day of release. SNSD's single 'Genie' contains the Japanese track version of their previous hit of the same title, a Korean version track, and finally the last track without any vocals. In addition, SNSD will continue with promotions for 'Genie' in Japan before they depart for China this coming 11th for the next stop of 'SM Town Live '10' in Shanghai.
