TWS Creates Unforgettable Memories with 30,000 Fans in Japan Ahead of Comeback

As they gear up for their comeback, the group TWS (Tours) has created warm spring memories with approximately 30,000 fans in Japan.

TWS members Shin Yu, Do Hoon, Young Jae, Han Jin, Ji Hoon, and Kyung Min held the '2026 TWS 2ND FANMEETING <42:CLUB> IN JAPAN' over two days, April 8-9, at Pia Arena MM in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.

TWS kicked off the performance energetically with 'HOT BLUE SHOES' and 'Freestyle.' They showcased a variety of stages, including an unreleased song 'I'll Be All Your Possibilities,' their Japanese debut track 'Nice to see you again (original title はじめまして/Hajimemashite)' which left a refreshing impression, and the fan song 'I'll Be Your Tomorrow.'

A special cover stage particularly heated up the venue. The members passionately sang '明日も (Tomorrow)' by the rock band SHISHAMO, well-known as a commercial song for a major Japanese telecom company. The unique freshness of TWS combined with the lyrics comforting the weary daily life brought loud cheers from the audience.

TWS expressed their aspirations, saying, "We will work harder until the day everyone we meet on the streets of Tokyo recognizes us." They added, "If this event makes the world of 42 (fandom name) feel even a little warmer, we would be incredibly happy," deepening their connection with local fans.

The excitement outside the venue was also intense. Fans flocked to the fan meeting commemorative pop-up store in Jingu-mae, Shibuya, Tokyo, to purchase photo cards, image pickets, and keyrings featuring the members transformed into sports captains.

Meanwhile, TWS is set to release their mini 5th album 'NO TRAGEDY' on the 27th. The album embodies TWS's determination to pursue love fearlessly rather than follow fate. It promises a refreshing romance as TWS approaches love clumsily yet actively, raising global fans' expectations.

Before this, TWS will unveil the mysterious content 'OPENING SONNET: star-cross'd lovers' today (10th). The phrase 'star-cross'd lovers' from the prologue of Shakespeare's play 'Romeo and Juliet' piques curiosity about the new album. From the 13th to the 19th, content titled 'Today's Fortune' will be revealed sequentially over a week.

Their relentless activities continue in Japan. TWS will appear on Japan's representative music program TBS 'CDTV Live! Live!' on the 20th. They are also part of the lineup for 'KCON JAPAN 2026' held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture from May 8-10 and 'Kstyle Party 2026' at K-Arena Yokohama on the 9th.
