Group TWS is sweeping the top ranks of local album and music charts in Japan with their second Japanese single, "SODA SODA."

According to the latest Billboard Japan chart released on the 12th (dated August 12), TWS's (Shin Yu, Do-hoon, Young-jae, Han-jin, Ji-hoon, Kyung-min) new album "SODA SODA" and its title track of the same name have topped the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart (collection period: the 3rd–9). This marks the first K-pop song to reach number one on this chart, further proving TWS's unstoppable growth momentum.

Album sales also showed remarkable results. According to Oricon, "SODA SODA" sold 225,853 copies in its first week of release, setting a record for the highest first-week sales among all albums released by TWS so far in Japan. As a result, the album secured second place on both Oricon's latest "Weekly Single Ranking" (dated August 17 / collection period: the 3rd–9) and Billboard Japan's latest "Top Single Sales."

"SODA SODA" is a song that carries hope to move forward while cherishing the sparkling moments of youth. With a refreshing city pop sound layered over lyrics evoking memories of summer days spent together, it goes beyond simply bright and cheerful feelings to capture the nostalgia and tenderness of youth. The music video also warmly depicts scenes of spending summer days at the seaside with friends.

TWS, continuing its upward momentum in Japan, is expanding its connection with fans through various activities. After attending the local largest music festival "Summer Sonic 2026" on the 14th and 16th, they will perform their Asia tour "24/7:FOR:YOU" from the 28th–30 in Fukuoka, the 4th–6 in Hyogo, and the 12th–13 in Kanagawa.
