A new Japanese girl group, Bikyaku Jidai, has an ambitious goal: to be the Japanese version of the popular Korean girl group Girls' Generation.
The new group is set to debut on October 24th with their 1st single "PERFECT IMAGINATION". Prior to this, the group has released a new music video which many netizens have seen as a knock off of Girls' Generation's previous work.
With Girls' Generation being known in part for their beauty, the girls of Bikyaku Jidai must maintain a strict image to remain in the group. They must follow the "Girls' Generation diet", a strict 1500 calorie diet meant to maintain a slender figure. It has been reported that any member who can't maintain a model-like body will be kicked out of the group.
"We want to live in harmony with Korea’s Girls' Generation. We don't want to fight them, and we'll go through struggles together. We'll co-exist," the group stated during a recent interview.
Check out the music video to the group's debut single below, and let us know if you think they have what it takes to be Japan's Girls' Generation.

there's no other than my girls' gneration!
In my opinion, Dancing Dolls are closer to become japanese SNSD than hers.
Not good. It's not cute and it's not sexy.
It's the most akward debut mv that I ever seen.
*than they'are
they don't need to be the next SNSD..
they just need to be themselves and create music that is different from the others
It's cool to have different versions, but my criticism on this band is that: Girls you're cute and have outstanding voices, but please just don't become the "wanna-be" SNSD... Copying SNSD's diet and style, makes your group unoriginal and appealing. Others might not agree with me, but this comes from my perspective...
wtf? This world has lost their mind...For a feminist like me , this is painful to read.
...just be yourself
lol no ... sorry
HELL TO THE NO!
MY EARS! MY EYES! *wails in agony* If these girls are hoping to become the next SNSD, they have a veerrry long way to go. They make Rebecca Black sound talented in this video!
I think it sounds like a song for little kids
Hmm... really? I don't think so.
i dont like them! wats the point of that?
they look so old...
Oooh.... they tried it... No bueno. The sound's bad, the dance is lackluster, and I'll ignore their looks because they didn't make themselves up.
Great just what we need ANOTHER girl group. -_-
I guess it could work having a Japanese version of SNSD, but then again the original will always be better!
aint gonna happen, they look fugly and probably sing like it too
how can even imagine copy snsd ? they don`t have the looks , talent .nothing... it`s funny
