Girls' Generation II: Girls & Peace (stylized as GIRLS' GENERATION II ～Girls & Peace～) is the second Japanese album
(fifth overall) by South Korean Girl Group Girls Generation.
It was released on November 28, 2012 through Nayutawave Record.
Girls & Peace is the first release by all the members since their
third Korean studio album "TheBoys"
(2011), after the group entered a semi-hiatus to pursue solo activities in
South Korea, in which time, TaTiSeo, the group's first
subunit was created. Continuing the electro-influenced sound from their first
Japanese album, Girls & Peace features a wide range of contribution
from producers, including long-time collaborator, Kenzie, as well
as multiple new producers such as Miles Walker, Deekay and Dao Torimiro. The
album sold over 116,000 copies in its first week, reaching the third spot on
the Oricon Album chart, and has since received a Platinum certification from
the RIAJ.
Three singles were released prior to the release of the album: "Paparazzi"
reached the top of the Jaan Hot 100, with
"Oh! / All My Love Is For You" also peaking at the same spot as well as number-one
on the Oricon chart. "Flower Power"
peaked at number six on the Hot 100 and number five on the Oricon chart. The
group promoted the album and its singles through various Japanese music and
variety shows including Hey! Hey! Hey! Music Champ and Music Lovers, and are set
to embark on their Secound Japan Arena Tour in February 2013.
Singles
"Paparazzi" was released as the album's lead single on June 26, 2012. It continued the group's streak of successful Japanese releases, debuting at number one on the Japan Hot 100 and peaking at number two on the Oricon Weekly Chart, with opening week sales amounting to over 92,000 copies. "Paparazzi" was released in South Korea two months later on August 16, 2012. The single helped push the group's total physical single sales in the country to 647,000."Oh! / All My Love Is For You" served as the second single, being released on September 26, 2012. The double A-Side single featured a Japanese remake of "Oh!" (2010), as well as an original song entitled "All My Love is for You", which appears on the album. "Oh! / All My Love is for You" provided the group with another number one single on the Japan Hot 100, as well as the Oricon Weekly Chart.
"Flower Power" was released as album's third single on November 21, 2012. Originally scheduled for release on November 14, the single was pushed back to November 21 due to production issues. The single also contains the B-side entitled "Beep Beep", which does not appear on the album, as well as a megamix of the tracks on "Girls & Peace." The single was ultimately released on the original release date of November 14, via digital download containing "Flower Power", "Beep Beep" and "Girls' Generation II Smash Up." The single reached number six on the Hot 100, and number five on Oricon's Weekly Chart.
