120605 Girls' Generation Pull Out All the Stops with New Music Video

Girls' Generation released an elaborate teaser video on Thursday for their new single "Paparazzi," which is set to be released in Japan, and the clip received 443,348 views on You Tube within less than two days.

The grand production scale of the video is especially notable. It took 120 stage crew members one week to build the set, a mini-replica of New York's Broadway lit up with over 30,000 light bulbs to resemble the streets of the Big Apple. Some 300 extras participated in making the five versions of the music video.

Their single will be released in Japan on June 27, about a year after the group's last single, "Mr. Taxi/Run Devil Run," came out.

Grammy Award-winning producer Miles Walker and mastering engineer Tom Coyne of Sterling Sound also worked on the song. To reflect its theme, a dance routine somewhat akin to a shutter clicking speedily was inserted into the choreography.
