I miss the girls! Here we see them performing a really short cut of “I Am The Best” with a special collaboration with “Pistol Valve”, an all girl Japanese brass and rock band.

I know that its really weird seeing the girls lipsynch but I’m guessing that the circumstances called for it. ^^ They are still the best though!
