The group TWS is launching a major promotion for its debut in Japan. Amid high expectations for the K-pop rookie, the members are actively attracting fans with various events.
TWS (Shin Yoo, Do Hoon, Young Jae, Han Jin, Ji Hoon, Kyung Min) will open 'TWS CAFE 'はじめまして (Hajimemashite)' from today (4th) until August 3rd for about a month in Harajuku, Tokyo, and Umeda, Osaka. This cafe is an event held to celebrate the release of their debut single 'Nice to see you again' (original title: はじめまして/Hajimemashite).
At the cafe, menu items that visualize the refreshing sentiment of the debut single, such as 'TWS Cream Soda' decorated with TWS's official character and pasta featuring the album logo, will be offered along with coasters or message cards. Merchandise available only for purchase at the cafe is also prepared, promising special memories for fans.
Collaboration with JOYSOUND, a nationwide karaoke brand in Japan, is also in progress. From the 2nd to September 30th, collaboration rooms decorated with the images from TWS's new release will be operated at seven directly managed JOYSOUND locations across six regions, including Tokyo, Miyagi, Aichi, Osaka, Hiroshima, and Fukuoka. At 69 directly managed locations, drinks inspired by the six members will be sold.
During the activity period, the Shibuya area in Tokyo is filled with messages congratulating TWS on their debut. Since the 1st, banners announcing the debut of TWS have been hung on streetlights in Shibuya's Dogenzaka and Bunkamura-dori streets, alongside photos of TWS. About 200 fans are seen along the major roads leading from the bustling Shibuya Scramble Crossing, creating a spectacular scene with their cheering messages.
The pop-up that started on the 30th of last month is also running successfully. The pop-up set up on the first floor of Tsutaya in Shibuya was sold out early amid high reservation demand for entry during allowed time slots. The pop-up site features a photo zone with the members' faces as well as handwritten messages and the outfits they wore on display. Visitors can also find merchandise from the debut single and the first Japan tour.
The song 'Nice to see you again,' released on the 2nd, sold about 120,000 copies immediately upon release, topping the Japan Oricon 'Daily Single Ranking' (as of July 1st) and maintaining the top spot for two consecutive days. This single is a piece filled with TWS's unique refreshing charm, bringing special excitement to everyday life like the sparkling memories of summer.
TWS meets local fans on various stages. They will perform on the summer special music show 'THE MUSIC DAY 2025' on Nihon TV tomorrow (5th), and on the 6th, they will take the stage at the music festival 'The MusiQuest 2025' held at Yoyogi National Gymnasium 1st Gymnasium in Tokyo.
