TWS will officially debut in Japan this July and kick off their first local tour.
Pledis Entertainment announced yesterday: ‘TWS will hold the ‘2025 TWS TOUR ’24/7: WITH:US’ IN JAPAN’ for about a month starting from July.’
The tour will kick off on July 11 in Hiroshima, followed by Aichi (13-15), Fukuoka (17-18), Miyagi (25-26), Osaka (28-30), and Kanagawa (August 9-10), totaling 13 performances in six cities. Prior to the tour, TWS will host the ‘2025 TWS TOUR ’24/7: WITH:US’ IN SEOUL’ on June 20-22 at the Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Seoul to meet with Korean fans.
Before the tour, TWS will release their debut single in Japan ‘Nice to see you again’ on July 2. The single includes three tracks, including original Japanese songs, bringing a special feeling of excitement and nostalgia like summer memories. Through this work, TWS will convey a refreshing and energetic first greeting to local fans.
TWS had already made a name for themselves on the Japanese music charts before their official debut. Their first Korean single album ‘Last Bell,’ released last year, surpassed 100,000 shipments locally, earning the ‘Gold Record’ certification from the Japan Record Association. Their first fan meeting ‘2025 TWS FIRST FANMEETING ’42:CLUB’ IN JAPAN’ held in March with three performances was sold out, achieving remarkable success.
