Despite the lack of performances on various variety shows, Shoujo Jidai is still soaring high on the Oricon Charts. Now that the girls has just released their second Japanese single called “GEE,” we can now see them perform on the popular variety shows in Japan.

First stop, Music Station. The girls will be performing on a popular long running Japanese music chart program, Music Station on the 22nd of October.

After that, they will be on NHK’s Music Japan on the 24th.

On the 25th, they will be featured on a very popular variety show Hey! Hey! Hey! Music Champ hosted by Hitoshi Matsumoto & Masatoshi Hamada. This show has a similar to Kim Jung Eun’s Chocolate with a few performances as well as a chat session, but includes some games and is done on a more humorous note than Chocolate.

It was also reported that the girls were recording on the show yesterday with Nishino Kana, Tsuruno Takeshi and Spitz.
