Upbeat electro-pop is Girls’ Generation’s style of choice for Japanese singles and “Beep Beep” is an exuberant showing of that.

Mellow in its etherealness, “Time Machine” is one of several ballads that the Girls’ have released as a single in Japan.

One of their two 10th anniversary singles released last week, the summery goodness of “Holiday” feels like an update of their early playful singles thanks to its earworm of a chorus as the eight members shout “ho-ho-holiday.” With a brassy pop synth melody littered with ad-libs and expressive vocals, this is a feel good song for going out.

As a celebratory song it’s pretty good, but the soft pop ballad falls a bit flat with simple instrumentals and lacking any exciting displays of the members’ vocals.Ī cover of Duffy’s “ Mercy,” “Dancing Queen” is a soul pop song with a retro-vibe that the group recorded in 2008 but didn’t release until 2012. Released last year to commemorate their ninth anniversary, “Sailing (0805)” is lovely in its sentimentality, with lyrics that recall the girl group’s debut on August 5, 2007.
