Recent discoveries of high-redshift galaxies have revealed the diversity of their physical properties, from normal star-forming galaxies to starburst galaxies. To understand the properties of these observed galaxies, it is crucial to understand the star formation (SF) history, and the radiation properties associated with the SF activity. Here we present the results of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations with zoom-in initial conditions, and show the formation of the first galaxies and their evolution towards observable galaxies at z = 6. In addition, we show their multi-wavelength radiative properties. We find that star formation occurs intermittently due to supernova (SN) feedback at z > 10, and their radiation properties rapidly change with time. We suggest that the first galaxies are bright at UV wavelengths just after the starburst phase, and become extended Lyman-alpha sources. We also show that massive galaxies cause dusty starburst and become bright at infrared wavelengths.
