Oh!
Background
The Japanese version of "Oh!" was released on September 14, 2012. A dance version for "Oh!" was released on September 18, 2012.
Synopsis
The "Oh!" video shares similarities with its Korean counterpart, however, instead of being a High School oriented video, the video is shot as if the girls have now entered College, implying their growth as artists and women. The video begins with the camera panning through their College dorm, all of the members are seen reading, except for
Hyoyeon and
Seohyun who are playing Rock-paper-scissors.

The camera then focuses on a cheerleading jacket with "
Girls' Generation" written on it, as well as a football helmet with "GG" written on the side and a decorated cake with "Oh!" written in decorative writing. It then cuts to
Tiffany, who says "Go!" and the girls quickly file out into a red-colored changing room where they begin to sing and dance. The video cuts between this and a stadium setting where the group perform as cheerleaders, as well as solo shots of each of the individual members dressed in their cheerleading uniforms. The video ends with the girls entering back into their dorm, taking off their blue cheer jackets. Taeyeon walks towards the camera with her jacket and puts the jacket over it. The final scene is the girls' empty dorm with the camera focusing on a picture on the wall of the group.
