The group TWS (Shin Yu, Do-hoon, Young-jae, Han-jin, Ji-hoon, and Kyung-min) has reached No. 1 on Oricon's latest daily single chart with their second Japanese single album 'SODA SODA'.

According to Oricon's August 4 release of the August 3 chart data, 'SODA SODA' sold 161,253 copies on its first day of release. This exceeds the approximately 150,000 copies sold during the first week of their Japanese debut single 'Nice to see you again' (original title: はじめまして/Hajimemashite) released last year.

The title track 'SODA SODA' entered LINE Music Japan's real-time 'Song Top 100' shortly after its release and ranked No. 12 on the 'K-Pop Top 100' as of August 3. Accompanied by a music video set against a backdrop of a summer seaside and lush green forest, the song's hand choreography challenge has drawn participation from Nakajima Kento and CUTIE STREET (CUTIE STREET).

On August 4, TWS held a public event to celebrate the release of their new album at Diversity Tokyo Plaza, meeting with over 10,000 fans. During the event, they performed their Japanese debut song 'Nice to see you again', the title track from their third mini-album 'It's Not Cool to Run According to Your Feelings?', and 'SODA SODA'. The audience followed along with the signature choreography that mimics shaking a ramune bottle up and down.

TWS is scheduled to appear on Fuji TV's music program 'STAR' on the 6th, perform at the 'Mezamashi Wangan Festival' on the 7th, and take the stage at the music festival 'Summer Sonic 2026' on the 14th and 16. They will also continue their Asia tour '24/7:FOR:YOU', planning to meet fans (fandom name: 42) in Fukuoka from the 28th to 30, in Hyogo from the 4th to 6, and in Kanagawa from the 12th to 13.
