The refreshing energy of the group TWS has also resonated in Japan. Upon the release of their new album, TWS climbed to the top ranks of major local charts and is expanding its influence through various stages including broadcasts and large-scale festivals.

TWS (Shin Yu, Do-hoon, Young-jae, Han-jin, Ji-hoon, Kyung-min) released their second Japanese single 'Soda Soda' on the 4th.

The intense local response was first reflected in the charts. On the first day of album release, they sold 161,253 copies, immediately securing the number one spot on Oricon's 'Daily Single Ranking' (dated August 3). This surpasses the first-week sales of their previous work, 'Nice to See You Again' (original title: Hajimemashite), which sold approximately 150,000 copies, in just one day. By breaking their own record for highest first-day sales upon release, TWS is demonstrating a steep growth trajectory.

The title track of the same name, 'Soda Soda,' continues to perform well on music streaming charts. Immediately after its release, it entered LINE Music's real-time 'Song Top 100,' followed by claiming the number one spot in the Dance category of Japan's iTunes and Apple Music 'Top Songs' (dated August 5). It also appeared on Melon's 'Hot 100,' a major domestic music platform, showcasing its presence in both Korea and Japan.

The music video is also receiving positive feedback. Praised as a video that evokes both freshness and nostalgia, it ranked second on LINE Music's 'Music Video Top 100' in Japan and third on YouTube's 'Daily Popular Music Videos' in Korea.

Offline enthusiasm continued to surge. On the release day, the 4th, over 10,000 fans gathered for an event held at Diversity Tokyo Plaza. Attendees enthusiastically sang along to the chorus of the new song 'Soda Soda,' creating a lively atmosphere.

TWS is also actively performing on local broadcasts and festivals. On the 6th, they appeared on Fuji TV's music program 'STAR' to perform 'Soda Soda.' Their solid live skills, combined with refreshing performances, captivated the audience. The following day, they took the stage at the 'Mezamashi Wangan Festival,' delivering a packed setlist of 11 songs, including all tracks from their new album, which drew enthusiastic reactions from the crowd.

Fan interest in TWS continues to grow in local theaters. TWS's first VR concert, 'RUSH ROAD,' will be screened from the 24th to 30 at Fukuoka T·Joy Hakata and from the 9th to 22 at Kanagawa Yokohama Burg 13. Previous VR concerts held in Tokyo and Osaka had already achieved explosive popularity. The success of the new album further intensified the local fanbase's support, leading to an encore screening.

'Soda Soda' is a single that carries hope for moving forward while cherishing the sparkling moments of youth. This album includes three tracks: the title track of the same name, 'Palm Tree,' which depicts the leisurely atmosphere of a summer night by the sea, and the Japanese version of the mini 2nd album 'Summer Beat!' title track, 'If I'm S, You Be My N.'
