TWS wraps up successful Japan debut tour, attracting crowds across six cities
Leader Shin Yu announces group's return in October at final concert in Yokohama

TWS has wrapped up their first-ever tour in Japan—a feat that coincided with their Japanese debut—drawing approximately 50,000 concertgoers and cementing their rising popularity.
The group held the grand finale of their "2025 TWS TOUR 24/7: WITH:US IN JAPAN" on August 9 and 10 at the K-Arena Yokohama in Kanagawa Prefecture, marking the end of a remarkable month-long journey.
During the show, TWS expressed their excitement, "It's truly a dream come true to hold our own concert at such a large venue. Thanks to our fandom, 42, who love us just as we are, we've accomplished things we once thought impossible. We hope the time we've spent together will remain in your hearts, so that whenever you face tough or tiring moments in life, you'll be reminded of these dazzling, radiant memories of youth."
While sharing their thoughts, leader Shin Yu electrified the audience by revealing, "TWS will be making a comeback in October."
Kicking off in Hiroshima on July 11, the tour spanned six cities—including Aichi, Fukuoka, Miyagi, Osaka, and Kanagawa—with a total of 13 shows. Nearly every city saw sold-out crowds, prompting organizers to open additional seats with restricted views to accommodate the overwhelming demand—a clear testament to TWS's growing popularity.
Their setlist featured all tracks from their Japanese debut single, including "Nice to see you again" (Japanese original title: はじめまして / Hajimemashite), "BLOOM (feat. Ayumu Imazu)," and the Japanese version of "Plot Twist" ("plot twist - Japanese ver.-"). Concertgoers enjoyed a 20-song lineup that included signature numbers such as "If I'm S, Then Be My N," "Isn't It Cool To Follow Your Heart?", "Double Take," and "Draw a Comma Instead of a Period," filling an energetic three-hour run time.


A standout moment came during the dance break for "Freestyle," when member Jihoon wowed audiences with new freestyle moves at each performance. The group also showcased their unique personalities during "GO BACK," delivering ad-libs directly to the fans throughout the tour.
Amid their busy schedule, TWS appeared on numerous terrestrial and local TV programs, connecting with fans by learning regional dialects and sharing stories about local specialties in every city.
The Kanagawa finale featured a surprise double encore, as the group returned to the stage after concluding their encore to perform "hey! hey!" and "plot twist - Japanese ver.-," much to the delight of their fans.
TWS has been making significant strides since their Japanese debut on July 2. Their first single, "Nice to see you again," clinched the No. 1 spot on both the Oricon and Billboard Japan charts in its first week, earning them four top positions overall. Surpassing 100,000 cumulative sales, the group also received a 'Gold' certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
After wrapping up their Japan tour with strong momentum, TWS is slated to take the stage at Japan's largest music festival, "ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2025," which will be held on September 15 at Soga Sports Park in Chiba City.
