On September 30th, Girls’ Generation appeared on “Count Down TV” in Japan, a late night music television program, as part of their promotions for their recent single, “Oh!”. Dressed in their white cheerleader uniforms, Girls’ Generation delivered a smooth and polished performance of their latest Japanese song for viewers tuning into the show.

Released on September 26th, Girls’ Generation’s fifth single placed highly on several sales charts and is still selling thousands of copies each day. Girls’ Generation will be continuing their promotion for the single tonight with another appearance on NHK-TV’s “MUSIC JAPAN” at 6:10 PM JST.

But Oh is selling terribly and the only reason it will be no 1 is because it has no competition. Remaking the song was a really bad idea. And I'm saying it as a person who loves the Korean version of Oh to pieces.

This performance was better than the one on HeyX3 but still rather bad, the girls clearly don't enjoy performing and Taeyeon looks dead on stage.

Taeyeon hates this song that's why.

AMLIFY should've been the A-side imo, i really dislike remakes.

aren't their sales in japan dropping like rocks with every single they release? poor girls, they've probably peaked already :(

If they tried with their Japanese then they could (imo) be just like Kara. But they don't so the general public got tired of them (and Oh! is terrible). Maybe it's too early to say they peaked, let's see after the release of their album and after the second tour.

I think this is just a bad release. Digitally they are still doing ok but the physical release isn't worth it.

they're catering more to their fanbase more than the public lol. Gee sold the most because they released it when Hallyu was new and at its biggest.

This single isn't selling as much because it's more expensive than Taxi, Paparazzi, etc, but it has NOTHING but the actual case and the CD. No photobook and shit, plus the lyrics for the song suck.

Oh well, at least qummydino has a legitimate claim that snsd's sales @ nippon land are flopping, oop/

I wonder if maybe people are saving their money for their upcoming album? Its hard to tell if they've peaked yet

They have outsold Kara with almost all of their similar releases tho... 1st single vs 1st single, 2nd vs 2nd, 1st album vs 1st album sales... and their video collection is also charting 1st in dvd and blu ray.

And they are doing great compared to all the army of Hallyu flops who can't even sell 20k copies in a week, so i don't understand all this "soshi is over in japan" crap.

I feel like in the 2 years since they released the original version of "Oh!", they've matured a lot, so them performing this seems kinda awkward and stiff.

I'm happy that Hyoyeon looks gorgeous in terms of styling and everything, but I'm kind of sad that it's wasted on an "Oh!" remake.

i love oh!, my guilty pleasure, tbh. altho, the girls have matured a lot since it first came out so the concept is a bit weird for them now.

I prefer Gee to Oh!
This song is horrible. Actually I really want to see The Great Escape as their next single

I have to say, I have mad love for those cheerleading uniforms.

Watching them perform Oh these days is always something else, I mean they are just so obviously over it it's almost hilarious. I bet Taeyeon's life flashed before her eyes when they found out they would have to promote it in Japan. Faulty decision there btw.

Stop making my girls do remakes! Especially Japanese remakes with random Korean.

wow taeyeon isn't even trying to look like she's not having the worst time of her life

on a brighter note i don't think they're going to do another remake any time soon strictly based on what songs are left (kissing you, itnw, gg & baby baby seem to be the only lead singles that don't have a jpn version so far).

They could at least make an effort to look like they are enjoying it. Some of them are doing a good job in that, others... not so much.

This performance was better than the last one imo, and i really love their uniforms.

And to all the haters talking crap about how much they are selling or whatever, you all need to take a look at your hallyu fave's sales in japan and by comparison go cry in a corner and shut the fuck up.

The gif lured me in ngl. Oh is still cute in Japanese, but the perf seems a little lifeless tbh. Though I agree with the consensus that the cheerleading uniforms are A+ but can they please (pleaseplease) give Sunny a wig or something? I hate the length of her hair sfm. And, though you can't tell by the video, is Yuri gaining a little weight? Recent pictures of her, she looks fuller? idk, but I'm not complaining.

people have been saying that since like june-ish, I think she has fuller hips than most of the other girls so she carries weight there. she got kind of scary thin mid-last year so it looks like she's just rebounding? she looks fantastic though I feel bad for even passingly analysing it

Holy god SM are such lazy assholes. They are nearing their mid-TWENTIES can we not with this cutesy winking shit omg. You promoted them as the cool, self-confident ladies from Korea so give them a good fucking song and a challenging choreo for fucks sakes. You want to stand out in Japan? Show everyone they can DANCE. There are like zero girl groups who can perform a choreo like the SNSD of old.

Fuck the girls look burnt out too, like why is SM subjecting them to this bullshit I AM SO ANGRY
