• "It feels like TWICE and ONCE have realized our dreams one by one over the past 10 years. Let's continue to move forward together!"

The group TWICE (TWICE: Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, Tzuyu) made history by becoming the first K-pop group and the first foreign artist in local history to hold a solo concert at Tokyo National Stadium, drawing a total of 240,000 attendees over three days.

TWICE held additional performances in Japan for their sixth world tour, "THIS IS FOR," at Tokyo National Stadium on April 25-26 and 28. As the Tokyo National Stadium, which holds unique symbolic significance in the local music market, has a maximum daily capacity of 80,000 attendees, TWICE successfully drew 80,000 fans per show, meeting a total of 240,000 massive spectators over three days and writing a shining chapter in the group's growth history.

Notably, last year TWICE visited Japan's four major dome venues—Kyocera Dome Osaka, Vantelin Dome Nagoya, PayPay Dome Fukuoka, and Tokyo Dome—through this tour. Including this Tokyo National Stadium performance, the group set a record-breaking feat by drawing a staggering 640,000 attendees solely for the "THIS IS FOR" Japan tour, further solidifying their reputation as the "top-tier girl group in K-pop."

TWICE created an open stage with no fixed front by opening the seating area 360 degrees, allowing the audience to experience the performance more three-dimensionally and vividly. The open-air stadium, with the blue sky as its roof, offered a uniquely special live experience. Opening with the tour title track "THIS IS FOR," TWICE performed a string of hit songs including "Strategy," "SET ME FREE," and "I CAN'T STOP ME."

Dahyun expressed her overwhelming emotions, saying, "Have you been well? Were you waiting for TWICE? I am truly moved to be able to stand on this stage." Jeongyeon then ignited the heat of the stadium, packed with 80,000 fans, by shouting, "Let's go to the National Stadium!" TWICE drew cheers from fans with their Japanese sixth album title track "ENEMY," other locally released songs, and diverse solo and unit performances. In particular, the unit MISAMO, consisting of Mina, Sana, and Momo, performed the title track "Confetti" from their first Japanese album for the first time on this tour, eliciting an explosive response.

During the finale performance of "ONE SPARK," a massive fireworks display lit up the night sky, and the largest-ever crowd singing and cheering erupted. In the subsequent encore, the members rode in a moving vehicle around the stadium, getting closer to fans and engaging in communication. Marking their 10th anniversary of their Japanese debut this year, TWICE showed a surprise video reflecting on the past decade, unable to hide their emotional expressions.

Momo shared her thoughts, saying, "It feels like TWICE and ONCE (the fandom name) have realized our dreams one by one over the past 10 years. Thank you." Sana expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you for coming to the National Stadium. Let's continue to be together." Concluding with "Like 1," a collaboration between Jihyo and the popular Japanese rock band ONE OK ROCK, TWICE delivered a rich setlist of 36 songs live, bridging the past and present as the "legendary girl group." The world's K-pop fans now turn their attention to the brilliant future that TWICE will paint anew.
