Refreshing orange girl♥… TWICE, May 14 Japanese comeback photos revealed

Group TWICE has revealed group concept photos for their fifth best album ‘#TWICE5’ (hashtagtwice5) in Japan on May 14.

This album is the fifth in TWICE‘s best album ‘#TWICE’ (hashtagtwice) series, and is the first local best album to be released in approximately 3 years and 2 months since ‘#TWICE4’ (hashtagtwice4) in March 2022. This album includes Japanese versions of several hit songs that have been greatly loved by global K-pop listeners, such as ‘Talk that Talk’, ‘SET ME FREE’, and ‘ONE SPARK’.

In the photos released on the 21st, TWICE created a bright and refreshing atmosphere with styling with bright orange color points. The leisurely and refreshing smiles of the nine members, who seemed to be enjoying a midday picnic on the grass, conveyed pleasant energy.

Since their official Japanese debut in June 2017, TWICE has been loved for achieving great results, such as dominating major music and album charts and winning awards at prestigious award ceremonies with various works, up until their fifth full-length album ‘DIVE’ released in July 2024. In particular, as part of their fifth world tour ‘TWICE 5TH WORLD TOUR ’READY TO BE’), which recorded a total audience of 1.5 million, they mobilized hundreds of thousands of audiences at large local venues such as Yanmar Stadium Nagai in Osaka, Japan, Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo, and Nissan Stadium in Kanagawa, where they became the first foreign female artist to do so.

This year as well, they will continue their momentum as a ‘top global girl group’ by meeting audiences on various stages at home and abroad. They will appear as special guests at the ‘Coldplay [Music Of The Spheres World Tour]’ ([Music of the Spheres World Tour]) concert in Korea by the British band Coldplay, which will be held at Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi Province in April. They will be headlining the large-scale music festival ‘Lollapalooza Chicago’ to be held in Grant Park, Chicago, Illinois, USA on August 2nd (local time). This year’s ‘Lollapalooza Chicago’ has once again proven the group‘s powerful influence by proudly including TWICE in the headliner lineup alongside top international artists such as Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, Luke Combs, and A$AP Rocky.
